Stalker- Yang Hongseok

#7

Today I woke up feeling like something was wrong. Not anything serious, but I just knew it would be a bad day.

So far, it had been.
I was forced to have several hours of private vocal lessons, and the coach hated me.
By the end of it all, my throat was so sore it hurt to talk.
- we'll have to continue this session tomorrow.
The vocal coach told me before he left the room.
Are you serious?

I can't believe I would have to continue it tomorrow.
Maybe I could run away again.

....I would definitely run away.

After I went back to my dorm to freshen up, I decided to go to the cafeteria. I wore another one of my many pink dresses, and hurried down the hall.
Today was the day my group could eat ramen.
But...I wouldn't be joining them today.
I had plans. Well not really. I was just gonna hang in the cafeteria hoping that Hongseok or maybe Seunghee would be there at some point.
Someone that I actually wanted to be around had to come, right?

I sat by a table for about an hour, struggling with resisting eating anything.
After that, my other members entered the cafeteria, but none of them greeted me.
Great.
What are they mad about now?

I know that I ran away a lot, but I was still doing my best. If they only knew.

- I knew I would find you here.
Someone suddenly said.
I looked up, to see that it was Wooseok.
Why was he here? I mean, why was he looking for me?
- that's ridiculous.
I said.
- or maybe, I know you more than you think.
He said and smirked.
- I doubt it.
I said.
- oh come on. Give me a chance.
He said.
- a chance?
I asked.
- to date you.
He answered.
Oh god. This is a joke right?

• Hongseok's POV•

We had the day off, so everyone except Wooseok and Yuto went out to eat.
They had plans to play video games so we didn't bother bringing them.
It usually went like that.

After we had eaten at the restaurant, we decided to go to an arcade to play some games.
After all, we had brought a camera team, so we had to do something funny to show our fans.
I couldn't really concentrate, because I was thinking about something. Someone.

I was curious about what Yerin was doing today. all I wanted was to go back to the Cube building and find her.

- can you focus?
Hui asked me, and tossed something in my face.
- ....shut up?
I asked him and giggled.

Hui looked a bit irritated so I hid behind Kino.
- why does it always have to be me?
Kino asked me and pushed me away.
- I told you before. It's fate.
I said.

I loved messing with Kino like this because he never stopped reacting.
- I hope fate throws a bus on you.
He said, and went over to Yan An.
Did he think he could get away?
- come back here and love me.
I yelled and followed him.
By now, everyone in my group had stopped what they were doing to look at us.

- ..... if I don't see any kissing soon, I'm going to...
Yan An started saying, but was interrupted by Kino hitting him.
We where all just messing around, when our manager came and whispered something in Hui's ear. Then he left, probably going back to the car.
- great. Now we have to go to the Cube building to get scolded...
Hui said.
- why?
I asked.
- because you guys are so freaking weird.
Hui answered.

So we got out of the arcade hall and into the car again.
- stop smiling, this is your fault.
Hui told me.

How could I not smile? Going back to the Cube building meant that I had a chance to see Yerin.

I wonder what she's doing right now..

• Yerin's POV•

- i told you to stop following me.
I said to Wooseok, as we walked down the hall.
I was going to my dorm and he kept following me.
After his weird attempt to ask me out, I just laughed at him witch made him kind of sad.

But.. he was the first boy to ever ask me out. And he wasn't even the right one. So I was kinda sad myself.
- I'm not following you. I'm walking with you.
He said and giggled.

Ok. So he's kinda cute.
But definitely not my type.
Besides he's too much taller than me and it annoyed me.
- I don't like you.
I said.
Maybe that was a bit harsh...
- I mean, I probably like you, but not.. like you like you.
I started saying.
- you know?
I asked desperately, hoping he got it.
- I get it.
He said.
Oh, great.

We reached my dorm, and I was about to go inside.

- want to go get some coffee at the cafeteria?
Wooseok suddenly asked me.
To be honest, it was more tempting than going inside my dorm.
- ... Fine.

We spent about an hour in the cafeteria, and I had to admit I had a good time.
Wooseok was my age, so we got along pretty fast.
And after a few more rejections he stopped asking me out.

It was almost night time, so I really needed to get back to my dorm.
Wooseok decided to walk me to the dorm.
I didn't mind, because I really wanted to talk to him some more.

I got up from the table, and of course I had to step on my foot wrong. The injury from the other day hurt again now.
Great.
- are you ok?
Wooseok asked me.
I tried stepping on my foot again.
Definitely not ok.
- I'll carry you.
Wooseok said.
Wait, carry me?
No way.
- ...fine. Don't tell anyone.

It turned out to be kinda funny getting a piggy back ride from someone tall.
I couldn't stop laughing witch made Wooseok laugh as well.
It got worse when he started telling jokes, I almost fell off twice.

I was just about to tell him something funny when he suddenly stopped.
We couldn't already be here?
Maybe I was having to much fun.
When I looked at the reason why we stopped, I almost fell off Wooseok's back again.

Of course we had to meet them right now. Just great.
I felt really stupid being on Wooseok's back.
But how could I get off without hurting myself?
- you can let me down now..
I whispered to him.
He finally let me down, and it went well. But I'm pretty sure I looked weird at some point because E'Dawn was smiling at me in a weird way.

- how's your foot?
E'Dawn asked me.
Wait, was he making fun of me again?
I decided to just say it's fine and smile.
He actually smiled back in a normal way.

I was getting a bit uncomfortable, because Hongseok was just looking back and fourth at me and Wooseok.
Wasn't he going to say hello?
I decided to speak to him first.
- Hongseok...h..how was your day?
I decided to ask him.
Hopefully nobody noticed the nervous crack in my voice.
Or maybe that was because of all the vocal lessons...

I was struggling trying to look calm while I waited for his reply, but he didn't say anything.
He just turned away from me, and looked at Kino.
- let's go.
He told Kino.

Kino looked a little confused, like I was feeling.
But then they left.
Wait, what just happened?

AN: sorry I haven't updated in a while, I'm just so out of ideas lately.
But I really enjoy writing this one... I'm so weak for PTG

Am I the only one that NEEDS the kino/hongseok bromance to be real?
