Guava (Guanlin)

2

I hear footsteps approaching and I quickly shove the fruit back into the box before hastily putting it into a cabinet. I lean against the counter casually, blocking the cabinet with my legs.

Daniel and Seongwoo walk into the kitchen, whispering to each other.

"Ong Seungwoo and Kang Daniel."

"....Ongniel...I personally like it."
"Yeah I-whoa!"

When they see me, they both jump a little, startled. Seongwoo places his hand over his heart exaggeratedly, "Guanlin! When did you get here?"

I struggle to answer, partly confused but...ongniel?

"I uh, Jihoon told me to get the door but by the time I opened it, they were gone so I was uh, just about to make breakfast, yeah." The two of them nod slowly before turning away, "In that case, can you just cook for all of us."

Before I can respond, the two head off to the coach before turning on the tv.

I give a frustrated sigh, what did I get myself into. I look around the kitchen, before walking away. "Minhyun hyungggggggg."

I walk into Minhyun's room (pretend the members each get their own rooms) ,jumping on his bed. Of course he's already up, probably has been. He glances up from his phone before setting it aside, "Yes?"

"Breakfast."

Minhyun sighs, opening his phone to check the time before getting up.

He's always texting when he's free...I wonder who though.

I slide off the bed before heading back to the kitchen. I sit on a stool by the counter, glancing from time to time at the cabinet.

As Minhyun got ingredients, his hand suddenly goes on the cabinet handle and I let out a squeak. Minhyun pauses, looking at me weirdly, "Guanlin, are you okay? You look pale."

I lied, walking over to him, "I forgot I left something in here last night....."

I grab the box from the cabinet, and before he could say anything, I had left.

I sigh once I reach my room, placing the box on the bed, staring silently.I carefully open it up to take out the fruit, gingerly putting it next to me on the bed. I load up my laptop and head to google.

I type in "guava" and instantly, pictures of the fruit next to me shows up. I went and listened to a recording of how to pronounce it.

"Guava. Gwa-vah."

I replay the sound a few times before repeating, "Guava. GUAva, Guanlin, GUAnlin..." I look at the fruit next to me, smiling before picking it up.

"Your name kind of sounds like mine, guava..."

I hear Minhyun call me and the other members for breakfast so I gently place the guava on my desk before going into the kitchen.
