iKON imagines

WISS #7 Chanwoo

The guy sat on the swing that was way too small for him, but he did not seem to care. He threw small rocks onto the sand, probably venting his anger, or disappointment. It was quite a boring scene from your window, but something tickled from inside you. You walked down the stairs, out into the scorching noon, crossed the road, into the playground. Sitting on the swing next to his, you spoke,
"So, did you get dumped?"
"Yeah.", the guy replied half-heartedly.
"What did she say?"
"Typical lines. I'm not good enough, not caring enough. She's sick of it. I don't have a good sense of humour."
You shrugged, "You have more than enough". He glanced at you, "You obviously know nothing about me, neighbour."
You rolled your eyes, "I do, neighbour, I mean, Jeong. Chan. Woo. Same age as me, an idol, always busy, maknae of the team, has, oops, my mistake, had a girlfriend,", you took a long, good look at him, ignoring his irritated gaze, "Appearance is not too bad, but not great either, I prefer Yunhyeong oppa."
He was disgusted, "Oh, now it turns out that you support us, huh? Think I don't know you? Y/N, same age, works part-time job at the family restaurant, never ever had a boyfriend before, totally in.ex.pe.rienced! Plus, don't talk about Yunhyeong hyung as if he's a god, he looks exactly like me"
You rolled your eyes, "You are just being jealous", then stood up, rubbing off the dust on your jeans, holding your hand out in his direction, "Thanks for the impressive first conversation, neighbour. Now I have to go and watch my favourite show, bye." Without waiting for his answer, you quickly turned away, leaving him to comprehend what has just happened.
Closing the door behind you, you exhaled dramatically, your sister shook her head at you, "Why must you try to be so tough when you are actually a coward?"
You stared at her, "Is he gone?"
"No, looking right at your window. You must be damn happy now, your crush is admiring your cranky window for once."
"At least he has temporary forgotten about his sadness", you muttered to yourself, "the first step of approaching crush-succeed"
"How about you stop being a weirdo by following that ridiculous book and trust your instinct instead?", your sister snapped at you.
You smiled restlessly at her. Of course, easy to say, hard to do. Chanwoo, the guy whom you had a major crush on, was a)smart, b) a celebrity, c) as handsome as your bias in his own group, d) your neighbour and e) he had a girlfriend. How easy as that? Trying to lull him into your totally unattractive self? You opened the book in your lap, reading the next chapter as if your life depended on it,
•Chapter 2-Create your own destiny: appear everywhere your crush goes, and make it as unintended as possible. Along the line, pretend like you aren't interested, or better, show that you hate him. This is incredibly applicable to those whose crush is a famous guy. He has always seen girls running after him. A girl who doesn't care? Full mark.
You convinced yourself, *Everything will go as planned: see him, follow him, bump into him, hate him!*. Recalling the conversation you had with him just sent you into total distraction. You buried your face in the pillow and shouted excitedly, wishing for that moment to rewind. You were getting more hyped up when there's a slight knock on your door. It was your sister,
"Y/N, my boyfriend is coming over, maybe with his teammates, keep the volume down if you don't mind, okay?"
Your excitement shrank like a dying balloon. Although you had never met your sister's boyfriend, you were not keen to. Every time he came, you would hide in your room, not coming out even once. Usually, you would complain, but for today, it was alright. You had plans on your own: to watch iKON's episode on Weekly Idol. You were a hardcore iKONIC, only that your family did not know. Your sister was the one influencing you herself, but was never aware of it. Therefore, you were satisfied with being alone, at least at the moment, to drown yourself in iKON's humorous lines and actions. You were so engaged halfway through when the electric was suddenly cut off. Everything was pitch dark. Thinking it was just a normal electrical faulty, you gladly took a nap despite hating the interruption.
Nevertheless, it felt unusual. Listening carefully, you figured out the problem: if the electricity was off, why was there TV noise from downstairs?
Trying to figure out your way down, you came to an abrupt halt as you heard some familiar voices,
"Woahhh Bobby hyung was seriously faking his way through!"
"Shut up Dongdong, I was feeling unwell."
"The eye-contact was perfect, Junhoe-ah!"
"Stop it! Even if you are Hanbin's girlfriend I would not have mercy on you!"
"Hahahhaha"
*Isn't that my sister's voice? And Hanbin, Junhoe, Bobby, Donghyuk? Aren't they iKON's?*, you were curious, and anticipated, hence you sneaked into the dining room for a better peek, you saw them now, all seven guys, watching Weekly Idol, with your sister! Hanbin's arm was around your sister's shoulders. You struggled to calm yourself down, taking the glass out of the racket, you thought you were dreaming. However, you heard footsteps and as you looked up, it was Bobby and Chanwoo, both appeared to be shocked. Bobby stuttered, "Erm.. Hanbinnie, I think we have a problem. I would...erm, go, take care, Chanwoo.", and quickly retreated from the dining room into the living room. Chanwoo stood there, emotionless, as if he expected you to be there. Overwhelmed with the amount of information you were getting, you dropped the glass on the floor, creating a big mess. Clumsily, you wanted to leave, but Chanwoo voiced out sternly, "Don't move! Wait there!", he grabbed a damp towel and collected all the pieces of shattered glass, they were everywhere. After that, he looked at you, his eyes softened, "It's safe now."
You were frozen, unable to speak. Chanwoo sighed, "Y/N, we can explain."
"About what? The electric cut-off?"
"Hanbin and your sister. But yes, and that, Jinhwan hyung mistook the toilet switch for the upstair's power switch."
"Oh, it's fine.", you shrugged, "I mean, for both. I was just, you know, this is a bit, too much,", then you get hyped up at the sight of Yunhyeong, too much til the point of forgetting that your crush was right in front of you, leaning in way too close to him to steal longer glances at Yunhyeong without Yunhyeong noticing, "Yunhyeong oppa is so handsome. How can you stay with him and not caring about it? He is... marvellous."
Chanwoo made a big fuss of pressing you onto the fridge, growling at you,
"I was the one helping you! Not him!"
You were shocked (for too many times), being stationary, eyes fixed on him. As he glared back, you shifted your gaze, "Didn't you want to explain about this whole mess? Say it then. Why am I suddenly linked to iKON, my favourite group?"
"You know who we are? You like us?"
"Gosh K-pop industry is really big okay? And you guys are famous, monster rookies. Just answer my question!"
"Fine! We thought you hated Kpop! Hence, although we would love to get to know you more, since Hanbin adored your sister so much he was fonded of you even when looking at you from behind. He was all, 'Y/N would make a really cute dongsaeng to all of us, and a really great friend to you, Chanwoo', and we all got curious and stuff but no one really dared to go near you, we were all afraid that you would throw a tantrum at us, at your sister dating an idol,"
You cut him off, "That's such good imagination you all have"
"I know, that's why I asked your sister to tell you that I had problem with my 'girlfriend'", he made a quota with his hands,"Because we all knew you like me and_____"
"Wait what??? You knew? That I like you? And you didn't have a girlfriend?", then it was your turn to frown at him.
Chanwoo was startled, busted. Scaring that you might leave the conversation, he grabs your wrists,
"I had, but we broke up whiles ago. We were just___"
"Chanwoo, I don't care if other members, even if they are iKON, even if Yunhyeong oppa, know about my crush. But you, you are that crush. And I had no experience in this, like you said. This situation is totally unexpected to me, and the goddamn book never told me how to react to this. I have only got to chapter 2!"
He grinned widely, showing his cute dimples, "And what did Chapter 2 tell you to do?"
"You don't have to know."
"Well, Y/N, I am quite sure that at some points the book is gonna tell you to confess, would you like to escalate to that chapter today?"
You made a quick conference to your inner-self: you were not ready, but the opportunity was good, what if he rejected? Then laughed at you? Then told Yunhyeong oppa? No, it was not the time to worry about your bias, if you missed this, it would be around half a year before he came home again, too long, follow the book? Follow your instinct? In this situation.....; You breathed in deeply,
"Fine, I'm saying it. Chanwoo, I like you. Very much."
"Since when?", his grin widened, the dimples were too adorable to look at, you needed help.
"Since... like, forever, starting from the day you disappeared into thin air, which turned out to be YG, I have always missed you."
"So?"
"I like you!", you shut your eyes.
He smiled cheekily, "I could not hear it."
"I... I like you... Just reject me already!"
He laughed that victory laugh and hugged you tightly,
"Aw you are too cute, sorry to disappoint you, but me too. Y/N, I like you!"

"Yeah, why not? Hi, girlfriend."
"Hi, boyfriend." >3<

"Erm... can you, let me go for a while? I need to get Yunhyeong oppa's signature and photo <\●□●/>"
