Pick me | Wanna One

2.6

I can't believe they all agreed to come. Daniel was the first to call and the last to call was Jinyoung. I took a deep breath as I took a look in the mirror one last time to check out my outfit and make sure it looked nice. I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in." I say softly. Youngji peeks her head in. She then quickly gets into my room and closes the door behind her.

"Sewoon went to your brother's room. In 2 minutes Sewoon and I will bring you and Seonho down so just sit and relax for a moment." I sigh.

"Youngji, I think I'm starting to regret this. I shouldn't have agreed to let you plan a party." I start breathing shakily.

"Seonmi, you'll be fine. You never know, maybe you'll enjoy this and stop your 'party ban' that you started after the Minho incident." Youngji smiles softly at me as she rubs my back. I start breathing normally again. Youngji's phone goes off. She then turns off the alarm.

"It's time. Let's go." I follow Youngji out the door. We see Sewoon and Seonho coming outside the room at the same time as us.

"Everyone is downstairs. We told them that we wouldn't actually start until everyone arrived so now it's time. Let's go." Youngji started pulling me with her down the stairs. I was frozen at the bottom of the staircase when I saw all of the boys. Youngji pushed me towards Seonho and pulled Sewoon to her side.

"Here is the birthday girl and boy!" Youngji said as she gestured towards Seonho and I. I scanned the boys with my eyes and my eyes stopped at Jinyoung. We made eye contact but then he turned away. The party started and everything seemed to going fine and everyone seemed to be having fun. I wanted to run away to my room but Youngji kept a close eye on me. Youngji brought out some food when it was time to eat. Sewoon helped her. I took the opportunity to try and run away but it failed, Jinyoung grabbed me.

"Where are you going? This is your party you have to stay." He lets go of my arm and I awkwardly stand there looking at him unsure of what to say. It seemed like now, I wasn't sure what to say every time I tried to interact with him. Words wouldn't come out and I would just freeze. On top of that my heartbeat would quicken.

"I originally didn't want to do this but Youngji and Sewoon convinced me to do so." He looks at me for a moment before answering.

"So you're saying that it's my sister's fault that this happened?" I immediately regret the words I said.

"That's not what I meant. I meant that I prefer not having parties which is why I wanted to run away. You aren't your sister so why are you trying to stop me?" He sighs.

"I know that my sister won't leave me alone if she knows I saw you trying to run away and didn't try to stop you." I turn away.

"I guess you're right." I turn towards him. He smiles softly and ruffles my hair.

"Of course I'm right. You should try to have fun." I avoid eye contact. I know I should but I can't. It's difficult. He softly grabs my chin and makes me look at him.

"You have to start by not looking at the floor." He then released my chin and grabbed my hand. He then dragged me back towards everyone else. No one noticed. They were all too focused on the food.

"Let's go." I turned to look at Jinyoung just as he started pulling me towards the food. When we got to the food Youngji looked at us with a confused look.

"I brought her to come get food. She didn't want to get up." Youngji nodded and gave us each a plate. I walked by with Jinyoung and he placed some food on my plate. He knew very well what I liked and made sure to only put things that I liked on my plate. He didn't give me a chance to even try to serve myself. When we were done he held my hand and brought me to the kitchen table. We sat down and I ate silently. Youngji, Sewoon, and Daehwi sat down with us.

"How're you liking the party so far?" Youngji questioned. I looked up at her and thought about my answer for a moment.

"It's fine. I still don't wanna be here though." Youngji glared at me.

"You know, you have to move past it someday. You can't let it control you for the rest of your life." Jinyoung and Daehwi looked at me and Youngji with a confused expression.

"What are you talking about? What does she have to move past?" Jinyoung questioned. I grabbed his hand and he turned to look at me.

"Don't worry about it. It's not your problem." He sighed and looked frustrated as he turned away. Daehwi looked away as well. I let go of Jinyoung hand which was currently clenched into a fist. I'm sorry, I just don't want you to know. I continued eating in silence and the others began to eat in silence as well.

"Okay, so, it's about time to leave. So, you can come say your goodbyes to Seonmi and Seonho." Youngji then walked off to start cleaning up with Sewoon. Daniel was the first to come up to me.

"Seonmi, hope you had a great birthday! I'll see you tomorrow in class." We hugged.

"Thanks for coming and bye! See you tomorrow!" Then Seongwoo, Who was behind him, hugged me.

"Bye, see you tomorrow."

"Thanks for coming, bye!" Then after them was Jisung and Sungwoon. I hugged both of them and they said good bye. Then Minhyun and Guanlin. Then Jaehwan. Kenta was after. Then Jihoon and Woojin came up to me.

"Hey Seonmi." Jihoon spoke first.

"Hey, thanks for coming!"

"No problem." Woojin spoke with a small smile.

"I was actually surprised when Woojin gave me the invitation."

"I was surprised as well when she gave me one." I smiled.

"Well, we are sort of close and I decided to invite you." Woojin's smile faded a little.

"I was more surprised that you were having a party. In all honesty it surprised me more that you were gonna have a party more than the invitation surprised me." I took a deep breath.

"I was surprised that I actually let Youngji plan this. I was a little hesitant at first and even after the invitations were given, but she convinced me that it would be alright and no matter how much I hate it, she was right. I think I'll be able to move past it thanks to her." I smile reassuringly at them.

"That's good." They say in unison. We hug and then everyone except Youngji, Sewoon, Daehwi, and Jinyoung leave. The boys, including Seonho, were helping Youngji clean up. I walked over to them and helped as well. When we were done Daehwi said bye and then left.
