Stalker- Yang Hongseok

#5

•Hongseok's POV•

- that was seriously.. so, so amazing.
Kino said, while laughing.

What happened after E'Dawn called Yerin a stalker, was that she finally spoke.
And it made all of us react strongly in different ways.
Everyone but me and E'Dawn was laughing.
He had a good reason not to laugh. In fact, he was really mad.

When she had turned to look at him, at first she just smiled.
Then she started swearing at him. And repeatedly kept telling him that she was taller then him. This went on for several minutes.

Thinking about it again, I finally allowed myself to laugh.

- I think I'm in love.
Wooseok suddenly said.

• Yerin's POV•

I can't believe I just did that.
What was I thinking?
But it felt so good.
When I was swearing at E'Dawn, I wasn't really only thinking about him.
I was swearing at my manager.
And Jinhee, who where supposed to be my best friend.
But wouldn't she understand how hard things where for me if she was my best friend?
Wouldn't she care about my feelings?
I guess she didn't.
Maybe none of them did.

But I knew someone who did care about me.
And I had to go see her.

Luckily Seunghee's apartment weren't to far away from the Entertainment building.
So I ran there.
I didn't care about the consequences for leaving.
I needed a friend.

I finally reached her apartment, and noticed she was outside. Tending to her plants.
She did that a lot. It was like therapy for her.
She had named every plant after her dead brother.
Everyone else found it strange.
But I thought it was beautiful.
- Yerin? It's so good to see you.
She said when she noticed me.
- I'm even more happy to see you.

********

- Wait, you did what?
Seunghee said and laughed really loud.
I had just told her about my incident with E'Dawn.
- ..do you think I made a mistake?
I asked her.
She just laughed again.
- definitely not. Besides, I swear at him everyday.
She answered.
- but I promised my brother not to swear.
I said, and sighed.

- do you want to drink with me?
Seunghee asked me.
I had never done it before.
But for once I was tempted.
But it wasn't really legal.
- Unnie you know I'm only 19.
I said, and giggled.
- but you want to right?
She asked.
I did.

Suddenly I felt my stomach growling. It had been so long since I had eaten. I just couldn't eat while being at the dorm.
It made me feel uncomfortable, because I knew I was being judged.
But I knew I wouldn't be judged here.
- Unnie...Can I have some food as well?
I asked her.
She got a concerned look.
- that's why you look sick. You haven't been eating.
She said.
- yes unnie.
I answered.
There was no point in hiding it from her.
Because I knew she had been through the same.

*******
The next morning I woke up with an headache.
But that was expected.
- you're awake.
Seunghee said.
I guess we had both fallen asleep in her bed last night.
I never felt so comfortable with anyone else.
Maybe Jinhee wasn't my best friend.
Maybe it was Seunghee.
I looked at her, and noticed she was only in her underwear, looking through her closet.
I covered my eyes and started laughing.
- don't cover your eyes. You should feel blessed.
Seunghee said, and started laughing too.
- I wish I had your confidence.
I told her.
- you just need to find a person that will remind you how pretty you are everyday.
She said.
I guess Yuto was that person for her.
Maybe one day, Hongseok would be the one to tell me I'm pretty.

After we ate breakfast, we went to the Cube building.
Seunghee had gotten her drivers license,
and bought herself a really cool car.
As she should. She was the most talented and successful Idol in my opinion.

When we arrived at the building, I went to my dorm to take my punishment.
I got lectured for  almost an hour.
But it didn't bother me at all. Because I was so happy today. Spending time with Seunghee had been like a healing day.

After vocal lessons, I went to the cafeteria to meet Seunghee again.
My group members seemed irritated by me ditching them.
I wish they would just... think about how I had been feeling lately.
But it didn't seem to bother them that I got yelled at regularly and not being allowed to eat.
So I didn't want to care about them either.

When I entered the cafeteria, I spotted Seunghee immediately by one of the tables.
Because she was waving like crazy when she saw me.
She looked happy to see me again.
Maybe she considered me a best friend?
I really had to ask her about it later. Maybe she would accept me.

I sat down beside her, and decided to show her some more funny videos of Jin from BTS.
She really loved them, like me.

We where just looking at my phone, laughing.
I almost didn't notice that someone suddenly sat down by our table.
It was Yuto and Wooseok.

Did they come to make fun of me?
- you're seriously awesome.
Wooseok said.
- so awesome.
Yuto said.
Where they being serious?
- sometimes I think she's more awesome than me.
Seunghee said and smiled at me.
They where all smiling at me.
I guess they really meant it.
It made me feel weird inside, but in a good way.

Someone else sat down by our table now.
It was Hongseok.
Ok heart, calm down.
He gave me a smile, and I forced myself to smile back.
It made him smile wider.
Seriously heart, calm down.
- lunch is almost over. You should leave.
He told Yuto and Wooseok.
- yes Hyung.
They both said, and left.

I was about to leave myself, but he suddenly told me to wait.
- can I show you something?
He asked me.
What did he mean?
Now I was definitely screaming inside my head.
I didn't know what to answer.
- go with him.
Seunghee whispered to me.

I had to, right?
This would be my chance to get to know him.
- ok.
I said.
- great.
He said.
We got up from our seats, and he took my hand.
This is a dream right?

Then he started dragging me out of the cafeteria. Not forcefully of course.
I turned to look at Seunghee one last time, and she was giving me a funny look.

Where was hongseok taking me anyways?
He just kept pulling me down the hallway.
Then we stopped outside their vocal practice room.
We entered the room, and he closed the door behind us.
- I noticed you staring at the black bean noodles the other day.
He said.
Oh god how embarrassing.
I didn't know what to say.
- I made this for you. It's better than the one in the cafeteria.
He said.
Then he handed me a box.
It smelled like black bean noodles.

Wait, did he really make this for me?
- just promise to keep talking to me.. I mean, us.
He said.
- so it's a bribe?
I asked him.
- definitely.

AN: I know it seems like I dislike E'Dawn.
But I love him, and I think he really suits the shady personality.
What do you guys think?
