Stalker- Yang Hongseok

#3

The next day we had dance practice. It was the only time my manager would praise me.
I was the lead dancer for a reason.
Also because my voice wasn't that good, so I knew for a fact that I wouldn't get many lines.
I didn't really mind. Dance was my passion.
- Ok take a break.
Our manager said, and left the room together with our dance coach. Finally. All of us sat down on the floor after getting our water bottles.
- tell me what happened yesterday.
Mina told me.
Thinking about it again made me giggle.
- he gave me a water bottle at the gym.
I told her.
- woah, that's like a romantic drama.
Mina said, now she was the one giggling.
- did you talk to him?
Hyunsung asked me.
- no way.
I answered.
- of course you wouldn't.
Jinhee said.
- because you can't talk to boys.
Mina said and laughed.
- it's not that. It's more like she is afraid to talk to them.
Hyunsung said, and they all laughed at me.
It wasn't that funny.
- you're all rude.
I told them, and left the room.
I know practice wasn't over, but I didn't care. It was almost lunchtime. And I needed to shower.
We wasn't supposed to get a lunch break today.
But I had to.

It was time to stalk.
Don't think like that Yerin.. you're an observer.
I laughed at my own thoughts, as I entered my dorm.
I quickly showered, because I didn't have a lot of time before lunch.
I decided to put on some make up, and put on a pink dress. It even had pockets.
I had to admit I looked cute.

It was only five minutes until lunch, so I basically ran to the cafeteria. Luckily our dorm was in the Cube building. Like all the other trainees.

• Hongseok's POV•
Today our only schedule was a Vlive.
It took about two hours, but it had been fun.
Besides I could sit next to Kino and hold his arm, because he couldn't really push me away in front of the camera.
- stop obsessing over me. I don't like you in that way.
Kino said as we where walking towards the cafeteria.
Everyone laughed at that.
I just gave him a back hug.
- are you sure?
I asked Kino. This was hilarious.
- stop it.
Kino said and walked away from me.
He was also swearing quietly.

We had almost reached the cafeteria when Wooseok told us to stop.
I didn't get it at first, but then I saw it.
Yerin was standing by the wall next to the cafeteria entrance, with her head peeking inside the cafeteria.
- she's definitely looking for you.
E'Dawn said and laughed.
I hoped it was true.
It made me feel weird inside. But always in a good way.
She looked really pretty today. She was wearing a pink dress. My favorite color on girls.

She eventually entered the cafeteria, so we started walking again.
We entered the cafeteria as well and found a table.
Then we went and got the food.
- I'm so hungry.
I said, and looked at the food feeling happy.
- give me your food.
Kino suddenly said.
- if you give me a hug.
I told him.
- never mind.
He said, making me laugh.

- look, she's stalking the food now.
E'Dawn suddenly said.
Was he talking about Yerin?
He was.

She was standing in front of the food, just staring at it. Especially the black bean noodles.
She stood there for almost 10 minuets.
But the only thing she picked up was a water bottle.
When she walked away from the food, she looked a bit sad.
- Yerin! Come sit with us!
Yuto suddenly yelled at her.

When she noticed us, her face went red.
Then she picked up her phone, and pretended to get a phone call and left the cafeteria.
She was almost running.
- she's so cute..

- what!?
Kino suddenly said.
Did I say that out loud?
Everyone in my group was now looking at me.
I was really embarrassed, so I decided to do the same thing as Yerin. I got up from my seat, and pulled out my phone from my pocket.
Then I put it to my ear.
- hello? Ok I'll be right there.
I said, and speed walked out of the cafeteria.

• Yerin's POV•

After I left the cafeteria, I spotted my manager in the hallway. He was probably looking for me.
So I ran in the opposite direction.
I decided to hide in a room. So i entered the first room I saw, hoping nobody would be there.
But someone was.
Seunghee.

- Oh, I'm sorry.
I said when she noticed me. I was about to leave, but she told me to stay.
We sat down on some chairs.
- are you hiding from your manager again?
She asked me.
She knew me too well.
Ever since she decided to sit with us in the cafeteria a while ago, we had become really good friends.
- yeah. Like.. four times a week.
I answered.
Seunghee just laughed, and patted my head.

Seunghee was really lovable. No wonder she had a boyfriend. And was best friends with all the pentagon members.
Wait.. that meant she was good friends with Hongseok.
Maybe I could ask her about him.
- you're good friends with Hongseok right?
I asked her.
- yeah, what about him?
She asked me.
- what's he like?
I asked.
- he's really funny. And a good person.
She answered.
I knew it. He was a good person. That's why he gave me the water bottle.

We talked some more about him, and then Seunghee had to go.
We exited the room, and she gave me a hug.
- I'll se you later.
I told her.
I was about to walk away when she told me to wait.
- can I borrow your phone for a second?
She asked me.
- of course.
I answered, then took my phone out of my pocket and handed it to her.
She typed a number, but didn't call. Instead she handed it back to me.
- who's number is it?
I asked her.
- Hongseok's.
