X1 imagines

nostalgic night

A/N: this story is based on a Facebook post of my friend, my bessy, Elle that goes like this: "You, calling my name on a nostalgic night, I like that." It is a combination of Got 7, Viction, Lee Jinhyuk's song titles. Btw! Congratulations to them on their showcases last night their songs were bop I got to hear them last night.

This story doesn't have a specific character I just thought any X1 members would suit this story as a lot of them have friends who debuted as a group or soloists. Hope you enjoy! Please give me a feedback through comments on how I can improve my writing skills, thanks!

I looked at the window after a long day of practice, today is a free day for all of us. Kids have school today so they left our dorm early. I don't have anything to do today, there's no lessons nor schedules so I opted to go here. I looked at the clock and it's almost 11pm, I was focused in practicing my parts alone that I didn't get to notice the time. It's good that I am this focused though, it helps to ease my mind from overthinking. Things are tough lately and it is good to be a little busy.

I gather my things and went out of our practice room. There's almost no one in our building at this time, I bet there's almost no one outside, not even fans who are waiting for us. 'Tonight seem to be a good one.' I thought as I take a walk on the pavement. Indeed, there are no fans waiting outside at this hour. The air is cold, the sky is clear and the wind blew softly.

I fished out my phone from my pocket and sent a message to our manager that I'll be going home alone. It is such a shame just to waste a good night like this. Just like that, I started to walk to the direction of the bus station. It's been a while since I rode a public transportation, I remembered I was still a trainee back then. Nights were also cold like this. We were all tired from hours of practice and lessons. Most of the time with we were dropping by a convenience store before we go home but, sometimes it was just like today, I am alone after spending the whole evening, practicing.

I decided to take a detour before going home. I went to a convenience store where we used to go. Nothing much have changed since the last time. The exterior and interior is still the same, the nightshift staff is the same person. He greeted me the same way and asked how I was like how he used to greet us. I bought the same ramyun we always eat and a sausage we used to like a lot. He told me how you frequently drop by here whenever you are free. Out of our co-trainees before you are my best friend. We always go here when we run out of stocks. We also eat here after a long day of training. I wonder how were you doing right now? It's been a while since we last see each other.

After finishing my food, I walked to the direction of the place we used to live in. I remember how we struggled in our living condition back then but, we were fine as long as we are together. It's tough, working, studying and being a trainee at the same time but we managed because we wanted to reach our dreams together. This place is still the same, nothing had changed. I saw that old man living in the complex with us, he greeted me the same way how he always greet us back then. He's still the same old yet strong neighbor we have. He still have that friendly smile on his face. He told me you dropped by a few nights ago. He told me you are busy with preparations and you were lucky enough to have a break that night. He told me, he watched us on tv and cheered for us. He asked me how I was. I must've been as popular as you and people must've following me around too. I told him that I am quite busy as well but, I had this time to take a detour before going home. He wished me well before going inside and he said that if ever we have time, we should visit him and his wife together. As we parted ways. I thought, it would be nice to go here next time with you again. It's a shame that I didn't get to see you when you passed by in this area. As I rode a taxi going home, imagined if you also happened to be here right now doing the exact same thing as I did it would be nice if you would see me and you would call my name on a nostalgic night like this, I decided I like that idea. I was hoping it would happen soon but for now, I am here as your best friend who never stopped supporting you on your endeavors in life. I hope we see each other again on the place we dreamed to be, the stage that we always wanted with people cheering for us and filling us with love that we dreamed of.
