I Love You, My Friend - Song Mingi

#9

Since Kyung decided to record me being stuck in the window, I had to get out on my own. I was trying to jump back inside, but ended up falling forward.
- oh shit!
Kyung yelled, as I hit the ground.
Oh god.. my shoulder hurts so bad.
But probably not as much as my mother is hurting. How was I supposed to find her now?
I would just have to try again tomorrow.

- I think I'm dying.
I said, as kyung ran over to me.
- this is all my fault.
He said, as he helped me up.
- Not really.
I said.
- Still, I feel bad.
He said.
- if you think about it, it's kind of funny.
I said.
After we went back inside, we ate breakfast, and got ready to leave.
- You don't have to come along today.
Kyung said, when we were about to leave.
He couldn't have said that before I put my shoes on?

- Why not?
I asked.
- Because you fell out of a window.
He said.
- actually, I should take you to the hospital.
He said.
- No! I'm fine.
I yelled.
- ok! You don't have to yell at me.
Kyung said, as we entered his car.
Just as he started driving, I got a text message.
Was it Mingi again? I hope so....
what?

It was just Hongjoong. Not that I wasn't happy about him texting me. Because it meant my plan was coming along great. Now I just needed to convince the last six members to be my friend as well. I quickly read Hongjoong's message.
Hongjoong: wanna hang out with us?
Sungyeon: sure!
Hongjoong: great! Can't wait to see you.
Hongjoong: probably not as much as Mingi, though.
Sungyeon: what?
Hongjoong: :))
Sungyeon: hello?
Hongjoong: :))
Sungyeon: stop it.
Hongjoong: just come to our practice room.
Sungyeon: I'll be there in 10.
Sungyeon: weirdo.

I put down my phone, and laughed.
- what's so funny?
Kyung asked me.
- Nothing.
I said, and rolled my eyes.
We pulled up to the KQ building, and I left Kyung by the car.
- Sungyeon! where are you going?
He yelled after me, making me giggle.
Now I just had to remember where their practice room was. It wasn't that hard, considering I had been there yesterday. Well, at least outside of it.
Should I just walk in, or should I nock?
Wait, what would a normal person do?
Nocking is very polite and formal.
So i should probably just walk in. That way I would show them that I was comfortable around them. I mean... pretend I'm comfortable around them.

I walked in, to find all of them sitting on the floor. Everyone except Mingi. He was pacing for some reason.
- Sungyeon-ah!
Hongjoong said cheerfully.
- Sungyeon!
Mingi said, and walked over to me.
Then he... hugged me.
Ouch... my shoulder.
Why did he even hug me? Maybe that's something friends do. I used to hug my brother all the time after all.
But why did my heart beat so fast?
It was probably because of the pain.
After he let go, Hongjoong got up from the floor and hugged me too.
My shoulder couldn't take it anymore.
- help..
I whispered.
- Hongjoong! Let go of her.
Yeosang said.
- what's wrong?
Hongjoong asked me as he let go of me.
Should I tell them that I fell out of a window? It's pretty embarrassing.
- it looks like she's in pain.
Yeosang said.
- I didn't hug her that hard.
Hongjoong said.
- I hurt my shoulder earlier.
I explained.
- what? What happened?
Mingi asked me.
I guess I'll just tell them.
- I sort of fell out of a window..
I said.
San and Wooyoung started laughing.
- you're joking right?
Yunho asked me.
- actually, I'm not.
I said, and giggled.
Wait, I'm giggling? I'm really getting good at faking this personality.
- how did it happen?
Mingi asked me.

I wasn't going to tell them exactly what happened.
- it doesn't really matter.
I said.
Suddenly Hongjoong started laughing really loudly.
- I know what happened!
He said, and continued laughing. He was looking at his phone.
Wait... it couldn't be..
kyung wouldn't do that, would he?
- you guys have to see this video.
Hongjoong said.
Oh Kyung... you're dead.
- please don't watch that!
I said.
But everyone went over to Hongjoong, to watch the video. But Mingi didn't.
- I won't watch it.
He said, and smiled at me. But I could see that he really wanted to. Because everyone else was laughing now.
- just, watch it if you want.
I said.
- I'm good.
He said.
Thank god. For some reason the thought of him seeing it, was more embarrassing than the fact that the others had seen it.
- can we.. go talk somewhere?
Mingi asked me.
Maybe he wanted to apologize about lying yesterday.
- sure.
I said.
I know I was supposed to spend more time with the others to make them like me, but spending time with Mingi was for some reason.. more important.
I left the practice room with Mingi.
- where are we going?
I asked.
- somewhere cool.
He said, and grinned.
We walked over to an elevator, and then we took it to the top floor. We walked up a pair of stairs, and entered a door. Or, it was more like we exited a door. Because we were outside now.
It's a rooftop?
It was actually pretty cool. There was even benches and a flower garden.
- it's beautiful.
I said.
- it really is.
He said, and I noticed he wasn't even looking at it. He was looking at me.
- do I have something on my face again?
I asked.
- No.
he said, and laughed.
We walked over to a bench, and sat down.
- I'm really sorry, you know.
He said.
- It's ok.
I said, and smiled.
- I just wanted to spend time with you alone.
He said.
He wanted to be alone with me? Why?
Maybe he wanted to be bestfriends or something. A bestfriend would really make Kyung satisfied.
- you could have just said so. I don't mind it.
I said.
- I won't lie to you again.
He said.
Then he placed his hand on top of mine. I though he would move it away after a few seconds, but he didn't.
I should probably move my hand away then.

But maybe we could stay like this.. just for a while.
