Stalker- Yang Hongseok

#1

I was watching him again.
Yang Hongseok. He was a member of the boy group pentagon. From the same agency as me.
His group where having dance practice.
He always looked so happy when he was dancing. I could relate.

The first time I saw him, was over a year ago. I walked into him in the cafeteria, making him spill his drink on me. But I got so nervous I just ran away. I've never even spoken to him.
I almost did once. I was invited with the rest of my group to a party at our friends house.

She's our Sunbae, Park Seunghee. She used to be in a group, but she went solo after a lot happened to her. Since the first time she met us, she had been taking care of us like an older sister.

Anyways, back to hongseok.
Seunghee is a really good friend to the whole Pentagon, and she is also dating one of the members. Yuto.
When she invited us to the party that day, I had no idea Pentagon would be there. And.. Hongseok.
When I heard he would be there, I had left immediately.
I preferred to keep watching him from afar. And I still do to this day. Because if I ever talked to him, I might say something stupid.

- Seriously, I can't believe you skipped lunch to creep on that guy... Again.
Someone said, making me quickly move away from the door that led to pentagon's dance room.
I turned around to see who spoke to me. Of course it was Jinhee. She was the one in my group with a funny stage name. July. Because she really loved that month.
- shh, they could hear you...
I said, and looked down at the ground.
i was a little ashamed. I had promised my group to stop stalking Hongseok.
But I wasn't even really doing any harm? He didn't see me. There was no way he could know.

• Hongseok's POV•
We where in the middle of our dance practice, when I noticed someone looking at us trough the little window on the door. I had seen her before. She would always watch us, and sometimes only me.

seeing her again today made me smile. Even while dancing through our new choreography for Runaway, I couldn't stop smiling.

I looked over to the door again. But she was gone now. Why did she leave? I wanted to talk to her. I always wanted to. But every time, she would disappear before I got the chance.
I wasn't really paying any attention to dancing anymore, so I stumbled and fell on top of someone.
- why me? It's always me...
The person I fell on top of said. It was Kino.

What he mean by "always me" was the fact that i always tripped him, fell on him... and cuddled him while drunk.
And for some reason he hated it.
He was still my best friend.
But the friendship was usually one sided.
- it's destiny Kino... just live with it.
I told him and laughed.
He just sighed, and put his arm around my shoulder.
- so... was she here again?
He asked me.
Obviously he knew about the girl. They all did. Because I would always get distracted when she was around.
- she left before I fell though...
I said.
- if she only knew how clumsy you are..
He said.
- are you guys talking about that stalker girl again?
Yuto asked as he sat down beside us on the floor.
The rest of the group went to shower.
- she's not a stalker...
I said.
- she totally is.
Kino said.
- Yan An is dating a psychopath and nobody says anything...
I said to myself mostly, and got up from the floor.
- I actually agree on that one.
Yuto said, but I just walked away.
I wanted to shower quickly, and then try to find the girl.

•Yerin's POV•

Me and Jinhee where still standing in the hallway when Pentagon members started coming out of the dance practice room.
I needed to get out of here before Hongseok would come out too.
- let's go!
I told Jinhee and pulled her with me, heading for the cafeteria.
There was still some time left of lunch.

Seunghee had texted us to meet her. Something about her old members bothering her again.

We reached the cafeteria and went inside. Seunghee was talking to a BTOB member, but when she saw us she waved goodbye to him and walked over to us.
- unnie, are you ok?
I asked her.
- I will be soon. I'm waiting for Yuto.
She said and blushed.
- you're so lucky you have a boyfriend.
Jinhee told her.
- it's not like we can date anyways..
I said.

We went and got some food, and sat down by a table. Seunghee was stuffing her face, making me feel jealous. I wasn't even allowed to eat anything she could.

Me and the rest of the girl trainees had to be on a strict diet, so we basically only ate salads.
One would think we could at least have some ramen...
but our manager only allowed us once a month.
It was still 14 days left until the next time.
Yeah... I was definitely counting the days.
- you should have seen our dance practice!Hongseok fell on his face.
Someone said, while I was lost in my thoughts thinking about black bean noodles.

Oh god. They are here. He's here..
He was standing behind some of his members, so he probably didn't see me.
Time for me to leave.

I had almost managed to sneak away, but of course jinhee wasn't going to let this opportunity to embarrass me go to waste.
- you should greet your sunbaes.
She said, making me have to turn around and face them.
They where all looking at me now.
He was looking at me.
