Seoul Secrets | ATEEZ

chapter 17

Aithne POV

I was taken aback when Yeosang picked me to stay with him. I didn't expect it at all. I just went with it and excepted it. Hana didn't look too happy though, especially when I made her stay with Hongjoong. Oh well, she'll get over it. She can't do shit to me.

He lead me to his room and my first thought were that it reminded me of my room when I was with my last gang. Dark, with barely any decoration. Black walls and ceiling and curtains drawn not letting light through.

"Sorry it's so dark" he apologises. Why is he apologising?

"It's okay" is all I can say.

We got ready for bed and went to bed. I realised I didn't have a pillow, making it kinda uncomfortable to sleep.

"Yeo.. I don't have a pillow, can I borrow one?" I ask nicely but I get a kinda mean reply.

"Uhh... Whatever. I'm sure not like having a pillow will kill you though." He replies. He throws a pillow at me and I catch it.

What did I do to make him suddenly mean? I don't know if he was joking or anything, there was no sarcasm in his voice at all , so maybe he was being serious? He didn't need to throw the pillow at me either. I don't know anymore, I just hope I haven't done anything to upset him.

I push the thoughts to the back of my head and focus on getting some sleep. God I'm tired after today. Too many things have happened.

I woke up and checked the time. 02:17am. Omg so early. Truth is I woke up because I could hear shouting. I instantly knew who from. Hongjoong and Hana. I feel sorry for Seonghwa. He has to sleep in the same room as them two.

I lay there, blocking out the shouts and zoning out, and become part of my thoughts. I can't help but think about earlier. Why did he suddenly snap like that? He's intrigued me, sparked my curiosity. I find myself wanting to get close to him and get to know him. There must be a reason as to why he suddenly snapped. I recall everything I said or did to him and I couldn't think of anything that would suddenly make him be like that to me.

Rustling, quiet, timid whispering and faint cries draws me out of my daze. It's definitely coming from in here. I look over and see Yeosang, rustling around. What is he dreaming of? I go to sit up but he jumps awake. I stay still not wanting to scare the poor boy. He starts to tremble uncontrollably. I argue with myself whether or not to help him calm down. I don't want him to push me away or maybe hate me for helping him. His cries get a little louder, making my heart ache at the sight. Why am I suddenly feeling so bad for him? I've never felt like this towards anyone except my sister. Is it just because I'm tired? Yeah it's that, I'm just tired.

"Yeo?" I suddenly say, making the boy hold his breath for a second.

"Y-yeah?" He stutters.

"You okay?" I ask.. obviously I know the answer but I don't want to tell him that I basically saw him have a panic attack.

"Yeah, why?" He replies

"I thought I heard crying and thought it was you because no one else is here" I say and I see him just nod.

"You should go back to sleep" he then says after a bit of silence.

It seems that he's calmed down a lot. I know he's not okay. I want to know what makes him like this. I just need to get close to him to find out what it is.

Why are you suddenly so interested in him?

I'm just curious

Curiosity killed the cat, remember? Just stop because he might not want anyone knowing.

Shut the fuck up and leave me be.

"Okay, I will" I reply to him. Before closing my eyes, trying to drift off into a dream.

- time skip -

I was woken up the next morning by someone shaking me awake and calling my name over and over again. I open my eyes to see it being Yeosang.

"Took you long enough" he suddenly says. His cold side has come back.

"Whatever" I just reply and get up. I'm not having him be cold to me and get away with it. If he wants to be like this towards me, I'll be like it to him too.

Adara POV

I woke up feeling an arm wrapped around me. I turn over and see Jongho still asleep. I've never been able to actually look at his features until now. God he looks so cute and peaceful.

What are you thinking Adara? Hana and Aithne will kill you if you fall in love with him.

Shit, your right.

Suddenly he starts waking up. He opens his eyes and his cute smile takes over his once sleepy feature's.

"Morning" he says, with a happy tone of voice. I couldn't help but smile

"Morning ho" I reply.

"Got a nickname for me already? I like it" he then says, making me chuckle.

"Common, we should get ready and go downstairs, before the others wonder were we are" he then says and I nod, agreeing.

"Agreed. Let's go" I reply and he smiles.
