[some scenes were on Still,
my mashikyu fanfic]
"Haruto"
"Jeongwoo"
The two smiled at each other while handshaking as they introduced theirselves.
"My name is Yedam" Yedam interrupted, well he didnt really. He was there all this time with the two, its just that the two were oblivious of their surroundings when they locked eyes with each other.
Jeongwoo shyly looked away and slowly unclasped his hand from Haruto's hold, making the other looked away too and hid his hand at his back and looked elsewhere.
"So we're done introducing each other" Yedam said, clapping his hand.
The two who are completely obvious shook their heads in agreement.
Yedam smiled and carefully turned around and left that very awkward situation. He looked around and found Junkyu sitting at the corner of the room, thus he walk towards him and sat beside him.
Leaving Haruto and Jeongwoo there, still standing and awkwardly smiling at each other.
"I'll go first"
"I'll go first"
They said in chorus, taking a step forward, looking away, resulting to Haruto stumbling into Jeongwoo.
Both of their cheeks reddened at the sudden accident that occur, but Jeongwoo's went unnoticed and Haruto's was seen clearly by others, specially Mashiho.
By now, they are currently looking at each other, staring at each other like they are currently playing the so called staring contest.
If it wasnt for Mashiho, who called Haruto then they might have been caught by the camera.
Haruto made the first move by bowing slightly at Jeongwoo, saying sorry after and averted his gaze to Mashiho.
Haruto saw Mashiho calling him, thus he went to Mashiho and heaved a deep sigh, was then about to sit down when Mashiho also called Jeongwoo over to sit with them, alongside with Yoonbin and Junghwan who just entered the room. Yedam and Junkyu also joined them after a while and converse with each other.
They were having a truth or dare game for their break after practicing.
Haruto observed how Mashiho's cheek went red when he heard Junkyu calling him cute.
He inwardly smirk and was about to tease his hyung when the bottle pointed at him.
All eyes were on Haruto, specially Jeongwoo's, making his heart beat at the unnormal pace.
Mashiho chuckled, "Truth or Dare?"
Haruto gulped, he swear, he smelled something not right.
"So?" Yedam asked
"I--" Haruto gulped again, sweating at his place.
"D-dare i guess?"
I think i just dig my own grave* Haruto thought.
Haruto looked at Mashiho and saw him smile like that witch on Snow White after she gave the apple.
Mashiho cleared his throat and asked everyone what kind of dare they will give to Haruto.
After seconds of discussion, Mashiho clapped his hands and faced Haruto.
"We dare you to have a staring contest with Jeongwoo"
"Oh-- eh!?"
"Yes" Mashiho said and smiled at Haruto.
Haruto looked at everyone and they nodded, then his eyes landed on Jeongwoo and the boy was looking away, clearly blushing.
His heart skipped a beat.
Both of their heart were beating in sync.
"Is Jeongwoo ok with it tho?" Haruto asked, making Mashiho shocked at how calm his voice is.
Haruto was trying to stay calm on the outside, swear, he was panicking inside.
"Yes, Jeongwoo's okay with it" Junghwan answered.
Haruto nodded and move to Jeongwoo's side.
"Uhm, is there a time limit?"
"Yes, only for 10 seconds" Yedam answered as Haruto nodded.
Haruto then faced Jeongwoo and smiled.
Damn* Haruto thought.
Jeongwoo then faced Haruto and smiled at him also.
"Okay" Yedam clapped his hands, moving to their center to put his hands in between their eyes and counted on three.
"One"
"Two"
"Three"
As their eyes met, they hearts were beating so fast, so fast that it can be heard by others.
Haruto never seen such beautiful orbs in his entire life.
Jeongwoo on the other side was engrossed by Haruto's.
That moment, all they see was just each other.
Feels like all they are staring at the stars, their eyes twinkling.
At that moment, Jeongwoo knows, that he fell inlove.
And at that moment, Haruto felt a new different feeling.
🌠
After that happened, all of them went back to practicing and was engrossed on practicing for the upcoming performance.
They all have the same thought and that is to stay in the line-up.
Haruto is doing his best, practicing hard.
And if Haruto was practicing so hard,then Jeongwoo on the other hand is practicing way way too hard that it made Haruto worried.
But he cant do anything because him and Jeongwoo are still not close and Haruto is still shy at approachig him.
Haruto just went back at practicing.
But at the day of the first performance.
Haruto smiled to hide away the pain he was feeling.
He hug Keita and uttered you did well before he went to the backstage with the other remaining trainees.
He was in a crying mess thus he slowed down and stilled when someone hugged him.
The place was dark and his tears keep on flowing, he didnt know who was the trainee who hugged him but he was thankful because he needed it.
That trainee that Haruto was curious as to who is it also needed the hug.
He might have wanted for Haruto to also hugged him but not like this, not like he wanted Haruto to also be eliminated.
That what all they did, hugging each other, comforting each other, calming each other down.
Because that is what friends do, right?
