The Best Mistake I've Ever Made - Monsta X FF

Chapter 8: Jessie's Girl

YOUR POV

Byung-Ho starts the car and we get going. Kihyun is in the front, shotgun. Then in the middle of the car are Shownu, Wonho and Chang-Min. Hyungwon and I are in the back. Kihyun turns on the radio, but Chang-Min quickly disapproves of the channel's poor song choice and half-stands up to switch to the Bluetooth mode. He connects his phone and puts on some playlist with songs everyone knows. Kihyun and Byung-Ho immediately start singing along. I smile at the two of them. It seems Byung-Ho is comfortable around Monsta X. Normally he isn't this outgoing. I guess they're really good friends. Chang-Min is singing some parts in a really false tone. Shownu and Wonho are laughing at him while singing along as well. Hyungwon's face suddenly comes a few inches closer to my face and he whispers in my ear. "I'm glad you are sitting next to me, not one of those idiots." The distance between our faces becomes a bit bigger when he finishes his sentence, but he still is very close. I feel my cheeks burning up as I look back at him. "I am glad I'm beside you, too" I smile shyly. He smiles back. Our moment is rudely interrupted by the devil himself. Chang-Min leans over to me and is grinning when he tells me one of his new pickup lines. "Hey girl, did you sit in a pile of sugar?" I shoot him a glare, pressing my lips onto each other forcefully so I can keep in my laughter. "Because your ass is pretty sweet." It stays silent between us for a few seconds, until we burst out in laughter. Hyungwon is chuckling, giving my brother a playful hit on his head. "Well you may get your greasy ass in your seat again, idiot." Byung-ho yells back while shooting my brother a death glare through the rear view mirror. Chang-Min mutters a sorry and sits back. I am still laughing my butt of with Hyungwon. "I sometimes can't believe we're the same age, he really does act like a kid sometimes." I tell him. Hyungwon snickers and touches my hand briefly. In a reflex I pull it back, but Hyungwon doesn't seem to notice. He is now talking to Shownu. I look at my hand, examining the skin that was just touched by him. I shake my head. He would never fall for me... He's an idol... And I am just incapable of staying sane... But still, a part of me longs for the feeling of someone other than my brother's wrapping his arms around my small waist, holding me tight whenever I feel like I'm falling. But I'm afraid that's not going to happen.

"Earth to y/n! We've arrived!" Wonho says, waving a hand in front of my eyes. I snap out of my ongoing thoughts and give him a small smile. I stand up and move out of the car. Wonho holds out his hand, which I grasp, and he helps me jump out of the vehicle. I look around.

HYUNGWON'S POV

Y/n is wandering around all of us, asking us what we want to eat and drink during the movie. She is also determining if everyone is excited and happy. When she is in front of me, I give her one of my widest smiles. "I'd like to eat M&M's and drink a Coke, please." She nods and answers me shyly, her cheeks turning red. "Are you thrilled yet? Our first night together." She looks around at the others. A part of me wishes that 'together' was meant for the two of us... A weird tension builds up in my chest. I try to ignore it and smile back at her. It's hard not to jump at her already and tell her how I feel... I'm scared someone will tell her before I do. What if she chooses someone else. "Hey, are you alright?" She puts her hand on my lower arm and looks up at me. I awake and quickly nod. "Yes, don't worry, y/n. I'm okay." I take a slight step forward and wrap my arms around her small body. She freezes for the shortest second and nuzzles her face in my chest. "Okay, I'm glad to hear that." She whispers. Way to soon we break the hug and I watch as she goes to the others. She walks over to Minhyuk, who does Aegyo for her and smiles brightly at her. The feelings immediately come back. She would definitely choose him over me. He is the sun, I am just the moon. I am in his shadow. Still, I feel like she still sees me. It gives me hope, even though I know it's stupid for me to think like this. I should be a good friend to her, not the one who will break her heart one day.
