Eternity Love 💙

An Attempt

Changsub POV

(After class the next day)

"Ok, off you go! Time to show your charm," Sungjae laughed as he tried to give Changsub a pep talk.

"R-right. I got this. It's just a question. What's the worst thing that could go wrong. I mean rejection would be awful, but- omg what if she rejects me. That'd be horrible. I wouldn't be able to look her in the eyes again. Look in her eyes? I wouldn't be able to look in her direction at all! I'd ruin all my chances at even being friends. I-"

"Hey, stop!" Sungjae interrupted. "Calm down hahaha. Just be your confident, goofy self and she'll love you. Now hurry before you miss your chance again."

"Yeah," Changsub said, taking a deep breath. And with all the courage he could muster, he walked up to his crush. "Hey, Miyeon right?"

"Ah.. yes," came her reply.

Changsub mentally smacked himself. Don't be awkward! he thought. "Can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure!"

"Um.. in private?"

"OH yeah, of course," she blushed. 

"How cute..." Changsub muttered to himself. 

"Hmm? Did you say something?" 

"NO! I mean, hahaha it was nothing. Don't worry about it." Alright! Let's do this!  He thought as he led Miyeon out of the classroom.

(At a random stairwell)

"Hey! So um... I'm Changsub," he said with a nervous smile.

"Ah yes. I'm Miyeon."

Seriously? An introduction?  Changsub facepalmed himself.

"So!" they both said at the same time in an attempt to break the awkward silence.

"You first," Miyeon offered.

"Right. So... so I was wondering... um... if you'd like... do you want to..." he trailed off. Shoot... my mind's all blank. How do I ask her out?!

"Yeah?" She asked in confusion.

"Do you... are you going to compete in the music festival?" Changsub asked instead. Really Lee Changsub? Really?! Ahhh why am I such a chicken?

"A competition?" Miyeon questioned with a blank face.

"Yeah! It's going to be on May 30th. Two weeks from now. The prize is $100,000, a year scholarship, and, of course, the pride of being the best musician around!"

"Cool! I'll think about it. Thanks for telling me," Miyeon replied excitedly. She seems kind of disappointed though. Is that just my imagination?  Changsub wondered. 

"No problem! So, what were you going to say before?" Changsub asked with a bright smile.

"Uh... I forgot. It probably wasn't important," she laughed.

"I see. Well, it was nice talking to you! I'll see you around."

"Yeah hahaha. Bye~" she replied with a small wave.

She's so cute, Changsub thought as she walked away. Especially her lips... Omg begoneee my perverted thoughts. 

"Ahem!" Startled, Changsub whipped his head around, but it was just Sungjae.

"What do you want Sungjae? I'm in the middle of something," Changsub exhaled.

"Yeah, in the middle of looking at her like a creep," Sungjae chuckled. 

"How long have you been here?"

"Long enough to know that you didn't ask her out. Come on, let's head back. Practice started 20 minutes ago."

Miyeon POV

Meanwhile, smoke poured out of Miyeon's ears as if she was a cartoon character. Her cheeks were on fire as she thought about her encounter with Changsub. I thought he was going to ask me out, but he was just asking about a competition. Ughhh... am I getting too ahead of myself? I couldn't even bring myself to ask him out after that. 

There was no doubt that the competition seemed pretty cool though. Maybe I can talk to Changsub again if I join too, she thought as she pulled out her phone. 

Mimi: Jinhee!

Mimi: There's a music festival two weeks from now. The winner gets $100,000 and a full scholarship for the entire year! Do you want to enter with me?

Jinhee: OMG is that even a question?! Yes, ofc! 

Jinhee: It'll be so fun! The prizes sound amazing too!

Mimi: Yay! I'll tell you the details when you get home.
