Seoul Secrets | ATEEZ

Chapter 16

Seonghwa POV

Chatter filled the room as I was patching up.. Aithne I think her name was. She winced s couple times, but tried not to show it. I guess it's because of her members of being clearly protective of her. Especially that Hana girl. I can already tell she's hot headed. Whilst cleaning the wound i realised what rooms the girls are going to share with and decided to mention it, but first I finish patching up their leader.

It's not long before I finish and bandage her arm up.

"I've just realised..." I start and all attention goes to me. "Where are the girls going to sleep and if they share rooms, with whom are they gonna share with?" I question, making them all think.

"Well one can share with yeosan-"! hongjoong starts but then is cut off by the distant boy himself.

"No!" He says, almost shouting. It's like he panicked for a second.

"Why?" I ask, but he just glares at me as to tell me to shut up.

"Yeo, your going to have to" hongjoong says, making the boy pout.

"But I don't want to" is he going to act like a child over this?

"Yeo, you don't have much choice and it's the same with Jongho. Jongho is definitely going to have to share with one of the girls like you" hongjoong tries convincing him, but the boy just pouts more.

"Look if you do in sure hongjoong will let you pick. You seem uncomfortable with the idea of sharing a room anyway" I chime in and hongjoong nods in agreement.

"Fine" Yeosang says, giving in. It just shows me and hongjoong know how to convince the guys.

"So who do you want to share with" I question him and he stays silent, thinking.

In the corner of my eye I can see Hana, trying her best not to say anything, knowing she'll start another argument and will get scolded by her leader. It isn't long before she says anything though.

"I'm not having my girls share a room with you boys" she says, sternly. It's clear she won't allow it, but she'll have to.

"Your gonna have to unless you want to sleep on the couch" hongjoong replies, just as stern.

What is it with these two and arguing?

"I'd rather sleep on the couch, than with one of you" damn she's fierce.

"Hana, calm down. It isn't all that bad, plus what are they gonna do" one of the other girls, Adara, chimes in, trying to stop them. She seems like Aithne, especially personally wise.. are they sisters maybe?

"No. What they could do is hurt one of you and in not allowing that" she says. That boils my blood. She thinks we're that low, huh?

"You think we're that low, huh? We wouldn't do that. We wouldn't do that to anyone" I say, clearly irritated by what she said.

"Mhmm sure, and how am I supposed to believe that?" She clearly don't believe us.

"That's enough, Hana. I don't trust them either but I'm sure they wouldn't do that." Aithne butts in. Thought I'd never see the day were Aithne would defend us.

"Fine, but if anything happens, it's not my fault" Hana then says.

"Anyway, back to the rooms... Yeosang, who were you going to pick?" The said boy snaps out of his daze. I hate the fact that suddenly he's zoning out a lot. He never zoned out before and if he has, it hasn't been noticeable.

"Aithne" he says in almost a whisper, pointing at their leader.

"Okay, the rest of the girls can pick who they want to be with" hongjoong then says, making the rest of us nod.

"I think hongjoong and Hana should share a room" Aithne suddenly speaks up, all attention going to her.

"Not a good idea" I say, not being able to believe what I just heard her say.

"No, it is a good idea, because then they can learn to get along" she replies, looking at me dead in the eyes.

"Fuck off am I sharing with that small thing" Hana shrieks, making Hongjoongs jaw drop in disbelief.

"thing!? THING!? I'M NOT A THING, IM A HUMAN BEING AND I'M NOT SMALL" hongjoong shrieks not having any of it.

"YOUR HEIGHT SAYS IT ALL DWARF" Hana shoots back. Dwarf? Really? Has she seen how tall she is?

"Enough. Argue about your god damn height later. I want you two to share a room, no buts and no questions. End of. You are and I don't care what you say, it won't change my mind" Aithne then says. God this is going to be a long night.

"Can we just move on? Why don't the others pick rooms now, so then that's out of the way and done" I speak up again, they all nod and the girls start choosing.

Tryne, the quietest one that hasn't spoken at all, chose Mingi to stay with. Hmm, interesting. The other chooses Jongho. Did they choose them because them two helped them get here? And last but not least, Cordelia ends up bunking with Yunho.

Yeosang POV

As soon as I said who I wanted to share with, everyone was surprised. Aithne herself looked surprised. I don't know what made me choose her. Is it because I feel relaxed and at ease around her? Is it because she's not loud and crazy like the others? I don't know...

We talk a bit more before all deciding to go to bed. I take Aithne up to my room and when we got there, I realised how dark my room was. Black walls and ceiling, curtains closed and barely any decoration around, one of the only things being a picture... A picture of me, Wooyoung and the rest of our friends. God I missed those times, the times before the incident, the times when I was talkative, the times i wasn't a coward and scared of hurting people.

"Sorry for it being so dark" I suddenly say.

"It's okay" is all she says.

We settle down after getting ready for bed. Aithne suddenly speaks up.

"Yeo.. I don't have a pillow, can I borrow one?" She asks, sweetly.

"Uhh.... Whatever. I'm sure sleeping without a pillow won't kill you tho" I reply. I throw her a pillow and she luckily catches it.

"Didn't have to be mean about it" she says, sulking.

Well, one thing she doesn't know is that I was mean on purpose. I can't get close to her. I don't want to. Knowing my dumbass will end up liking her and I'll end up hurting her. I can't do that. I won't allow myself to.
