CMOL and Fearless

18

After we left and headed home we all started cheering.

"And another amazing song written by... Rhee Iseul and Yon Si Woo!" Zeke announced.

I laughed.

"We all did great, do you want to go and buy cupcakes to celebrate?" I asked.

"You go and get cupcakes, I'm going to order takeout, can you pick it up too, the usual place." Junsu replied.

"Why don't you order takeout then come? I can wait."

"I wanna stay home though, feeling lazy and tired."

I sighed.

"Fine, I'll go alone if no one wants to go other then me. I can't guarantee I won't stop to get myself some ice cream though."

"It's winter."

"And? Your point is?"

"Okay, whatever. Go get yourself some ice cream Zeul."

I smiled and went to grab my coat.

Once I arrived at the bakery, I looked at the different kinds of cupcakes. I bought twelve cupcakes in total. Five triple chocolate, two vanilla, five plain chocolate chip. then I headed to the ice cream shop. Most people would be surprised it was open in winter but I wasn't, this place was almost always open and I came here a lot.

I entered the shop and immediately noticed Mi Kyung. How was it that almost everywhere I went, she was there? I suddenly wanted to talk to her. She liked to eat ice cream in the winter too? But I remembered that I wasn't allowed to talk to her and I pulled my hood so it would cover more of my face. I knew she could recognize me even though I had a mask on. I turned to face away from her. I couldn't talk to her. I couldn't. But would he really know if I did just this once? It's not worth the consequences I had to repeatedly tell myself.

I waited for her to get her ice cream, then leave, until I finally moved up to the counter. I arrived back home.

"Takeout and cupcakes are here!" I announced.

"Where is Zeke?" I then asked.

"I think he is in the room."

The members were playing a board game. I headed to the bedroom.

"Zeke? I got some cupcakes, wanna come and have some?"

I opened the door. Zeke was sitting on his bed, he wiped tears away with his hands.

"Yeah, I'm coming." He replied.

"You okay?" I asked.

"Are any of us ever okay lately?" Was his reply.

"I know, it's tough. And you probably have the most stress." I answered.

We headed to the kitchen. The other members were already eating takeout. Junsu knew what each member liked. Siwoo was eating sushi, Leroy was eating a stir fry, Owen was eating meat and Junsu was eating a burger. Food for Zeke and I was sitting on the table. My phone buzzed and I realized I got a text. I looked around and the other members were picking up their phones too. It must be the group chat.

I looked at my phone. It was the group chat my group had with another group, Songz. They debuted around the same time as us but with another company. There were 8 members and they were all really nice. We didn't talk much because of both our busy schedules and we actually hadn't had the group chat for very long, they reached out to us during the holidays at the party and we started talking a little more. I had been at the restaurant with Mi Kyung at the time but I had met them sometime later.

Seth> Hey, how are you guys doing, busy schedules I bet?

Me> Yes, we have been working on our latest album, what about you guys?

Seth> We are in France right now, it's really beautiful and warm here

Junsu> You're making me jealous!

Seth> Still cold there? What time is it where you are?

Me> Seven o'clock

Seth> it's around 12:00 here.

Seth> Have you eaten dinner yet?

Me> No, we are just eating now.

Junsu> Iseul just sat down, he went and got the takeout I ordered. I have a burger.

Siwoo> Most of us are already eating though.

Seth> I'll leave you guys so you can eat then, I have a busy schedule right now anyway.

Me> Okay, have a good day.

Seth> Thanks, have a good day too... although your day is almost over.

I turned off my phone and grabbed the box with my food in it. Zeke had already grabbed his food and was eating.

"I was creating some origami the other day and I just found a video of how to make it like, five minutes before I made it and I think I did a superb job!" Zeke exclaimed.

"I don't know where you find time to make origami." Leroy said.

"Well, you find time to watch movies."

"True, I somehow find the time, mostly by taking it out of my sleep time."

I finished my meal and grabbed a chocolate cupcake.

When I finished eating the cupcake, I headed to the bathroom to get ready for bed. I was really tired.

Hope you are enjoying this book! Have a great day.
