There's nothing in my system, so I'm feeling what I feel for you

Waterparks - Not Warriors ♪

The door suddenly opened as three girls, most likely trainees, walked in without knocking.

"Oh sorry, we didn't know someone was using this room," they bowed and went out giggling.

That encounter was enough to send us flying to different corners of the room.

"I-I should go. It's getting pretty late and the members all left already," he said scratching his necks and picking up his gym bag from the floor. I just hummed and nodded, not able to muster up any words.

"Alright then," he opened the door, "uhm... good night."

"Bye," I awkwardly waved.

Wow could I get any more awkward?!

I looked at my reflection just to see a ridiculously red face staring back.

Oh my god oh my god oh my god! What was that?!

My heart was about to jump out of my chest. If I wasn't sure about my feelings for him before, I was now.

𖥸

Almost a week passed. Mark and I were too busy to see each other, but I guessed it was for the best. I didn't want things to get awkward after that moment.

Done with vocal lessons, I walked to Get some food. I felt tired and starved, and I wasn't going to let myself get sick from overworking.

At least once the weekend comes I won't have to do as much work.

"Finally we meet again." I heard a sweet and breathy voice call behind me. I turned around, confused at who it was.

To my surprise, I was met with Doyoung's smiling face. I gasped, still not used to seeing famous people this close up, "h-hello," I bowed awkwardly.

"No Powerade today?" He asked.

"W-what?" My confusion only grew until I realized what he meant.

Crap! I emptied a Powerade bottle on him... is he mad? Has he come to take revenge?

"Ah..." was the only thing I could reply with an awkward smile, "I'm very sorry about that-"

"Stop apologizing," he spoke as he looked to the front, "it's your turn."

"Huh?" I turned around noticing I was next in line to order my food, "oh, yes, sorry."

"I'll have a chicken tender wrap with tomatoes, onions, cheese, shredded lettuce, and mayo please," I smiled at the cashier as she punched in my order.

"Anything else?" She asked. I looked at the beverages written on the board. Different flavored Powerades were written. I can't order that with him behind me... I smiled at the cashier and replied, "a bottle of water please."

I heard a small chuckle come from behind me. I was sure my face had turned red.

I sat by the window as I ate, biting into my delicious food.

I probably shouldn't be eating this... ah~ who cares!

Suddenly someone sat in front of me.

Kim Doyoung.

I almost chocked on my food. I'm sure he could tell as he gave me a weird glance before speaking.

"What's your name?"

"L-lim Seyeon..."

"Lim Seyeon, are you nervous?" He asked, calmly taking a sip of his water.

I nearly chocked again, "w-what? Why?"

"You keep stuttering."

I cleared my throat, trying hard not to stutter again, "it's just... you're Kim Doyoung."

He chuckled at my response and I wanted to die.

Shit! My stupid mouth keeps failing me!

"Sorry... my inner fan girl just popped out..." I tried laughing it off but I just seemed even more awkward.

He smiled, "you're my fan?"

"Of course! Since debut! I love your songs," I blurted out. He chuckled at my quick response and I felt my cheeks getting red.

Damn it! I'm acting like a total fool!

We surprisingly hit it off and talked until I had to go back to work. I explained what I was doing there and my change of contract. We talked about his music and how he's going to start working on a new comeback—which is insane since he literally just had one. I couldn't believe what had just happened. He was so nice. Just a genuinely nice guy. Wow! I couldn't believe I was actually talking to the Kim Doyoung.

"I need to get back now," I got up holding my empty tray, "it was really nice talking to you!"

"Wait, give me your number."

WHAT?!

"Uh-"

"You work with lyrics right? Let's network," he said.

"You want to network?"

He nodded, "I mean, aside from that, debuting can be hard. I thought maybe you'd want a friend that knows what it's like," he smiled.

Friend? He wants to be my friend? OH MY GOD HE WANTS TO BE MY FRIEND!!

"Oh, yeah, I could really use a friend," I took the phone he was handing me and punched in my number, "here."

He saved the contact and put the device back in pocket before standing up and walking away, "see you later," he waved.

I smiled, feeling giddy inside, holding the food tray so hard it shook.

Naeun is not gonna believe this.
