LEE YEOREUM.

How unpredictable can this day even get? First, 5 of them become my classmates. Second, I bump into  Hangyul and then Yohan shows up. Third, Seungwoo and Seungyoun came to visit the members at our school. And now this. A full fledged X1 reunion, right before my very eyes. Someone please tell me I'm not dreaming.

"Oh, it's Yeoreum." Hangyul said, taking notice of my figure and cutely waving his hand. The other members turned their heads to my direction. Well, this is awkward. Or so to say, possibly one of the most uncomfortable situations I've had in my lifetime.

I couldn't bring myself to wave back, so I just bowed to them. That might have been a move to hide the embarassment on my face, but it's better than nothing. I reverted my attention elsewhere, but I could still see them looking at me in my peripheral vision. I took a seat infront of them, clearing my throat to compose myself.

"So she works here, huh?" A voice whispered. I'm guessing that was Hyeongjun, hearing the satoori. Yes, I do work here. And just now, I think I'm regretting ever applying here in the first place. "Isn't it obvious? She has an ID, Hyeongjun- ah." I could tell that was Seungyoun. "Oh, sorry hyung." I smiled, imagining what they probably looked like right now.

"Hey, Yeoreum." There was a slight tap on my shoulder, and I almost jumped up in surprise. "Y- yeah?" I asked, turning to the person who caught my attention. "You work part time here? That's funny, It's like you're always where we are." Hangyul mentioned, smiling broadly.

"Not to mention, she's our class president." Oh why did you even have to bring that up, Eunsang. "Really? Small world. It's probably really tiring, though. Going to school and working at the same time." Seungyoun added, making a pouty face. Wow, that was adorable.

"Nah, it's not even half as difficult as what you guys do. You all must be tired." I said shyly, avoiding their eyes as much as possible. "That's too nice of you. By the way, I'm Seungyoun." He introduced himself, his eyes almost disappearring when he smiled. I know, Seungyoun. I know your name very well.

"This is Dohyun," he gestured towards the baby-looking giant beside him who was fiddling with his phone. Dohyun stopped for awhile and bowed at me slightly. "I'm a year below you, Noona." He said, and my heart did a little jump once he called me that. "Can I call you, Noona? Or..."

"No, it's fine. I'm actually about 2 years older than how I should be in school. Since I stopped for awhile because my mom needed to pay for my baby brother's daycare..." I rambled, letting out a sheepish laugh, realizing that I just got distracted infront of them. "So you should be in our class, then?" Hangyul lit up. "Yeah, I guess you could say so."

"Uh, that's Wooseok," My eyes almost sparkled when I saw his face. He looked like an angel on earth. Kidding aside. "And that over there, is Seungwoo hyung." He motioned to the further left, and for a few seconds, Seungwoo and I made eye contact. My lips parted in awe, not knowing what to say or do next. He just smirked at me, probably finding my face funny. He just averted his attention elsewhere, looking like he was thinking about something.

How much embarrassment can you obtain in a day, Lee Yeoreum? Stupid. I thought, nearly mentally slapping myself. "Oh but hyung, didn't you say that you met her at the bookshop in our neighborhood?" Eunsang nudged Yohan's shoulder. "Uh yeah, that was when I went to go fetch some of Seung- I mean, went to go fetch some books." He coughed, looking tense. I nodded, considering he did mention that he kind of liked books.

"Good evening everyone." All of our heads turned to the front, for a man in a navy blue suit and a dominating aura placed himself on the mini podium. "I'm Kwon Chanwoo, president of Page Project Publications. I would like to thank X1 and their management staff for their presence in tonight's endeavour." His deep voice heard through the mic.
