Dating An Idol

Chapter 2

I sit in the library, alone but at a different table this time as my spot is occupied.

I listen to the song Only You by Huh Gak. It's the song I cried to for three days.

Then I felt fingers brushing against my ear, "what are you doing?" It whispered into my ears.

I let out a scream and drop my phone on the floor. My earpiece fell along with it.

"Yah..." Minseok sits beside me, covering his face with his jacket's hood. "Ah... Why did you do this to me?" I held onto his arm tightly.

I was so scared but now I am just embarrassed, I screamed in a library. Minseok laughs at me and pats my head, "I am sorry."

But he's not really sorry, it was a funny situation.

I left the table to find a book that will help me. Minseok has been really focused on his studies, he's really cute but I can't help but noticed the fans around us.

I pretend I do not know him and he pretends he doesn't know me.

"I'm tired." Minseok stands on the other side of the bookshelf when I took out a book. I held my scream and my breath, he laughs at my reaction, "cute."

It was like a start of a puppy love, the one you never forget. The one that maybe... Will love you back.

I stood in front of him, we're standing so close. I think my breathing is so loud that we're going to be kicked out of the library.

"What are you looking at?" Minseok ask, smirking. "I.. am looking at the pimple on your face." I jokingly said, "what?" Minseok put his hands to his face.

I chuckled lightly and went to find the rest of the books I need.

"Heol." I bump into a man, dropping my book on the floor.

"You drop it... You should pick it up."

The familiar voice sent chills down my spine, I froze, not knowing what to do.

"You're studying hard." Chan-Yeol says.

I open my mouth but no words come out. My mind is blank.

I decided to turn away from Chan-Yeol and just kept walking. An arm snake around my neck from the back, "did you become a mute?"

I gulped, "don't go around saying things about me. I have things to say about you too." He lets go of me after he gives me a warning.

I'm scared.

But why should I be scared? I did nothing wrong.

I went back to my seat, empty handed. Min-Seok is already here, he put a paper down on my book.

k. ms : where did you go

b. cr : washroom

I lied.

He nods his head and we went back to studying.

I didn't, I spent the whole time blanking out.

Min-Seok is walking me home again. This time he brought his cap to cover his grey hair. I honestly think that it made people more curious who this person is because he's all covered up.

But nobody came up to us.

We walked past my parent's restaurant which is closed. Hm, it's weird.

"Do you live nearby?" I ask, noticing the lightning flashes in the dark sky. "I can take a bus from here, it's a few stops away."

"Ah." I nodded, I feel bad. he's an idol, he should be resting.

"There's school tomorrow, right? You won't be coming to the library then." Min-Seok says.

"Right, I have training tomorrow. I also have a interview after that."

"Training? Interview?" Min-Seok looks at me for further explanation.

"I play basketball, so I have training tomorrow. And I have been finding a job... So yeah." I answered his doubts.

"Wah, I love soccer." Min-Seok says, "but I play basketball too."

I stop in front of my doorstep, "maybe we should play some time soon." I say knowing that I might not see him again, maybe on TV or the internet.

He pulls his mask down and flash me a smirk, "take care."

"You too." I waved goodbye to him and watch walk towards the bus stop.

I step into the house and see my parents packing their suitcases, "where are you guys going...?" I stood in front of them.

"Chae-Rin ah! We won tickets to go to Japan for two weeks!" Mother cries, I pout, "who's going to feed me?"

"You're 20 years old." Father stated, shaking his head at me. "I wish you can come to, I will buy you a lot of things." Mother says, she's so excited. I haven't seen her this happy since the day Park Ji-Sung step into our restaurant.

"Don't forget your passports." I say when I see my father staring into blank space. "Ah right!" He snaps his fingers and went into the room.

"If you need money, you can go into my drawer—"

"Don't worry, Eomma." I assured her and sat down on the couch. "Have fun in Japan." I say, feeling sad. But it's okay, they deserve this two weeks.

"We're flying off in the morning, I would cook you breakfast. Eat it." Mother says sternly.

I nodded and went into my room, "have a safe flight." I pick up my phone and open the conversation between Hye-Yeon and I.

chae-rin 🧤 : my best friend ~

hye-yeon 🧣 : what ~

chae-rin 🧤 : my parents are away for two weeks, sleepover?

hye-yeon 🧣 : ooooh yes yes!!

I smiled and put my phone aside.

I take out the books from my bag as I don't need them for school tomorrow. A piece of paper then flew out from psychology book.

I pick it up and noticed it's Min-Seok's handwriting. "Heol." I put my hand over my mouth, he gave me his number.
