"Hongki is so playful isn't he? Was he always like that even at home?"
They quickly walked pass the clean halls of FNC building, talking but not facing each other. Aye led the way while Seunghyun followed, continously watching her back and her jet black hair flowing through the air.
"I'm not sure. I think he was born to be like that. Hyung was actually one of the strangest person I've met ever since I signed up in the company. He is too unique of a person."
They turned at a curb and entered the company's cafeteria which was currently empty.
"Hongki hyung enjoys torturing us to be honest. His day just can't be completed without him doing anything to any of us. But! He doesn't scare me at all."
Aye giggled. "You make him sound like a bad person. I don't think he's all that when I met him. He seems like a sweet guy."
Aye led him to one corner of the room and sat.
"Yeah well, I guess that was in his nature... So what do we have here?"
Seunghyun looked at the table between them. Infront was a plastic box filled with all sorts of food .
"Well, I was planning on digging on that after the rounds. But I'm just going to give it to you then since Hongki took yours." She grinned.
Seunghyun shook his head incessantly. "Forget it. No thank you. I'm not eating that."
"Why not? I didn't even eat it yet so it's clean." Aye frowned, sounding as if she was insulted.
"That's not it silly. It's yours and I honestly think YOU should eat some." Seunghyun scanned her pretty face and noticed dark circles forming under her eyes and Aye looked like she was losing weight too.
He unconsciously touched one of her hand on the table and spoke sternly. Seunghyun too was worried. "Are you going on a diet? I'm sorry to be asking you this but you do realize the kind of work you got yourself into right? There's no place for you to be losing weight at the moment."
Aye snatched back her hand from Seunghyun's touch and refused to look at his constant gaze. She knew exactly what he was talking about. She had only started and it honestly became difficult to juggle her studies, caring for Chaewon and her new found work. She didn't really complain since she needed the money and FNC was giving her the amount that she needed to survive.
Seunghyun snapped when Aye took her hand, suddenly feeling hot.
"Seunghyun, what are you talking about. Of course I am not."
He was silent. But he wasn't buying Aye either. He knew something was bothering her and he's not going to let this slip even if she pushes him away. Seunghyun felt like he was too involved with her now.
"If you are too hesitant to eat it, then we'll eat it together. Here." Aye handed him some wooden chopsticks, which he didn't took at first. He was just staring at her worriedly. Aye didn't give in and continued to put up a straight face.
"Your hand mister." She rolled her eyes and asked annoyingly.
He gave it to her slowly. Her eye's widened after seeing Seunghyun's hand and touching it. "What happened to this?!" She examined his hand like it was some dead creature and began stroking it. His hand was rough and had cuts and calluses. Seunghyun snatched it away from her stare and took the chopsticks.
He crossed his arms and looked away, annoyed that Aye had to see it. "It happens all the time from practice."
Aye looked at him suspiciously then broke her chopsticks in two, mocking Seunghyun. "Aigooo, see now who needs to look out for himself."
Aye waited for him to take something from the container, staring at him. Seunghyun knew what her plan was, to pretend she was going to eat but she really wasn't going to until he finishes everything up.
Still with his arms crossed, he pointed her to the container seriously. "I'm not eating that until you go first."
Aye scoffed but didn't argue with him anymore. She dug onto the plastic box.
"Aisshh just let me know if you don't like tasting the teacher's cooking and stop making excuses."
Seunghyun nodded to himself as he enjoyed watching her chew and eat. He had to admit, watching her eat was probably one of the most enjoyable things to see.
"That's it... more." He whispered to himself, clearly amused of what was infront of him.
Aye looked up and lifted a brow at him. "Yah! Do you think I don't know what you're doing? I said we're sharing! Tsk!"
"Okay okay. Jeez." Seunghyun moved forward to pick on some dumplings. "Sigh I'm not the one looking like a skeleton here to be honest."
"Excuse me?!"
"Nothing! Nothing. I said let's eat...Oh god this is so yum."
Seunghyun grinned as he chew and watched her. At some point, Aye looked away and grinned too. Seunghyun suddenly realized the feeling of not knowing anybody at your first day and maybe that was exactly what Aye was feeling at the moment. He was glad that he was there for her so she didn't really feel nothing like a loner.
A little while later, A fake cough caught their attention suddenly. They looked up and saw a short, slightly chubby girl watching them from afar.
"Oh Aye? The cooordinator unnie is looking for you now. And... you should have told us that you were going to eat with Seunghyun oppa so as not to make us worried?" The girl spoke sarcastically.
Seunghyun spoke up to protest. "Can't you see she was still eating? Can you say that to noona?!"
Aye suddenly kicked Seunghyun's foot from under the table that instantly made him whimper in pain. Aye nodded and quickly stood up. "I'm coming! I'm really really sorry."
The short girl rolled her eyes and walked away without saying a word. Aye walked out and followed her without taking a second look at Seunghyun who was massaging his foot.
Still moaning, a few minutes after she was gone, Seunghyun received a message on his mobile phone
Message
Aye
I'm sorry! Had to do it! See you at the meeting if FT will come.
