Strawberry Milk | Pentagon Kino

Chapter 31

Triple Kill

"FOR REAL?"

I continued telling Yuto about Hongseok's banana milk giving or whatever. He really seemed surprise and kept teasing me.

"My best friend's got an admirer I can't believe it." He said making me smack his arm.

He chuckled before I start talking about my friendship with Jinho. He keeps looking at me with a teasing look.

And finally, we came to the part of Kino's confession. He kept quiet then teased me when I finished talking.

"After all these years, you finally have a special someone! I thought you were gonna end up single forever."

I rolled my eyes, "Oh come on. As if you aren't single right now." He shot a glare at me but I just smiled.

"I got to go, it's getting late. Shall we hangout tomorrow?" Yuto said as we reached the door.

"I'm gonna meet Hongseok tomorrow for a project." I noticed him grin, "But we can-"

"I'm coming with you." he said cutting me off, "I want to meet Hongseok."

My jaw dropped, "Unbelievable."

He grinned once again and waved, "Just kidding. See you tomorrow!"

I sighed as I closed the door and went to my room.

══════ ∘◦🍓◦∘ ═══════

"Seorin!" I heard Hongseok call from afar. He was already seating at the cafe where we're supposed to meet.

"Did you wait long? Sorry I'm late I overslept."

He smiled, "It's fine. I didn't wait that long anyway. Aren't you going to order?"

"I'm good." I assured him. He looked unconvinced and before I could even protest, my stomach growled.

I smiled sheepishly as he got up and went to the counter.

Later on, he arrived holding a tray with two cheesecakes. My eyes twinkled the moment I saw them.

"My treat." he said that made my eyes twinkle more. I thanked him.

We proceeded talking about our project. I'm easily irritated whenever I'm not satisfied with the words I use in the poem we're working on.

I'm usually a perfectionist when it comes to things related to music but today, I don't know.

I'm honestly frustrated most of the time but I assured Hongseok that I'm fine.

Not long after, we finally finished.

We were talking about random things when Jinho showed up. He smiled and sat beside Hongseok.

"You done with the project?" he asked and took a sip of Hongseok's frappe.

"Yah! That's mine!"

I noticed a familiar figure who just entered the door. It's Jung Hyunsoo.

She saw me and smiled as she waved. I smiled but was surprised when I saw Kino come after her.

I raised an eyebrow at him. He playfully smiled at me and stuck out his tongue then mouthed the words 'project'.

I nodded, then they proceeded to a vacant seat not too far away from us.

I heard Jinho cough, "So how's it going between you and Kino?" he teasingly asked and leaned closer. Hongseok smirked.

"Doing fine. He's sweet actually. He always puts his arm around my shoulder, and sometimes he would hold my hand while we're walking. He's actually clingy too, and he would sometimes do an aegyo to cheer me up or whatever. Then-"

"Oh my God is he really that cheesy." Hongseok whined with a shivering expression. Jinho and I laughed.

"Hello." a deep voice suddenly said. My eyes widened as I stared at him.

I rolled my eyes. "You're really serious about wanting to meet Hongseok aren't you?"

He smiled then looked at Hongseok and Jinho. "Which one of you is Hongseok?"

Hongseok raised his hand, as if hesitating. Yuto glanced at Jinho, "And you are?"

"Jinho."

Yuto's eyes widened as his lips form into a smirk. "Interesting." he muttered.

Jinho and Hongseok exchanged looks then glanced at me, both of them raising their eyebrows. I sighed.

"This is Yuto. Hui told him a lot about me, including you guys."

"I already met Kino yesterday. He and Seorin where together when they got home." Yuto added.

I excused myself to go to the restroom. I did my business and washed my hands at the sink.

For some reason my back is aching, must be from slouching. I want to go home.

I felt my phone vibrate, I opened it to see Kino sent me a text.

PinoKino♡:
i'm jealous :<<< three guys are around you while i'm dying here because of our project.

I laughed to myself and exited the restroom. Kino was looking at me from afar with his eyebrows furrowed, and lips in a pout. I smirked and stuck my tongue out before going back to our table.

I'm surprised to see Hongseok, Jinho, and Yuto laughing together. I didn't expect that they'll be close that fast.

"Seorin! I didn't know you were this cute when you were little." Hongseok said as I took my seat beside Yuto.

I raised an eyebrow and reached for the phone Hongseok is holding. It revealed my baby picture when I was in the park, ice cream was all over my face.

I glanced at Yuto. I know he's the one that showed them that picture.

"Aww a baby princess."

Jinho showed me another baby picture. It was Halloween and I was wearing a snow white costume.

I was about to whine when I felt Kino's arm around my shoulder. He had an intimidating look.

"You mean, my princess?"

Jinho, Hongseok, and I bursted out laughing. I swear Kino gets really cute and protective when he's jealous.

"Yah! Why are you laughing?" he got a chair from another table and sat beside me.

"The project's finally over and I can hangout now, don't laugh at me." he cutely said.

I don't know what came in to me but I wanted to hug him. I feel like I missed him.

My phone vibrated, Hui sent me a text.

Hoetaek:
Seorinnn can you buy the groceries today? I'm still working on a project and I'm coming home late. I promise I'll treat you next time. I'll text you the list later.

I frowned, I want to head straight home already. But it looks like I have to pass by the supermarket first.

I stood up, "I got to go guys, I have to buy something."

"Let me assist you." Kino said and got up on his feet as well. I smiled at him and nodded.

"See you later guys!" I pulled Kino before anyone could protest.
