Chapter 17

Friendly Competition

 

 

 

 

It was Jieun.

"I..."

"Jieun-ssi...." ______ said.

Jieun smiled.

"Aww...______-ssi! I see you did come with Kikwang Sunbae!"

______ just nodded.

"Yeah..."

"See?!~~" Jieun sang. "I told you, you two look good together!!~~"

'She did...what?!?!?!' Yoseob glared at Jieun.

"Yeah, I guess we do." ______ faked a smile. "Jieun-ssi, I told Yoseob-ssi the same about the two of you."

Jieun smiled and nodded.

"Mhm! I'm so glad I gave him second chance."

'A second chance?!?!' Yoseob thought. 'I never even got a first chance!! How is it a second chance?!? You have to give one for there to be two.'

"Well, I have to steal my date for a dance. We haven't even gotten one tonight. He keeps disappearing." Jieun frowned.

"Why is that?" ______ asked.

“Yeah, WAE?! I’m your date, right?”

"Hmm…I danced with my date a few times already. You shouldn't bring a date if you're going to ignore her. Go on, I'll go find my own date."

"B-B-But...." Yoseob stammered as he was dragged away.

______ sighed.

'Well, I got to see him up close for a second. For a second I wasn't mad at him. Now...I'm back to being mad. He looked SO GOOD!!!'Yojin shoved Yoseob in ______'s direction.

He crashed into her.

______ stared at him.

"Ow..."

She rubbed her arm.

"Um...m-mianhae..."

"....that's the second time tonight! Can I help you?"

"______-ssi?"

She sighed,

"Yes?"

"W-Will you d-dance with me?"

"No..."

"No?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No..."

"Are you mad at me or something?" Yoseob asked.

______ ignored him.

"Whatever."

"______-ssi...what did I do that made you so angry at me?"

"Think about it..." she snapped, turning to walk away.

He grabbed her arm and pulled her into a hug.

"Whatever I did. I'm sorry. I'm really sorry!"

She sighed.

"Until you realize what you did, I'm not going to forgive you."

"Why did you come with Kikwang?"

"Why did you come with Jieun? Oh right, you're her fan boy."

Yoseob blinked at her.

"Huh? Fan boy?"

______ bit the inside of her cheek.

"...Mhm..."

'Is she...jealous? No, of course not. Why would she be?' he thought.

The couples were dancing so close that they pushed them closer so that their noses were almost touching.

Since they were the same height,

His lips brushed against hers, accidentally.

It caught them by surprise.

Neither of them could think quick enough to react.

He blinked continuously, trying to process what just happened.

______ scowled and stomped away.

Yojin stood there in shock.

'OMONA!! T-T-They just...Unnie and Oppa just...' she thought. "YAH!! Unnie!!!~"

She ran after ______.

"I kissed him. We kissed." ______ muttered.

"You kissed!"

"I don't care!!  I'm pissed, we kissed."

"YAH that rhymed!!~" Yojin giggled.

"YAH, Kim Yojin!"

"It was Oppa's first kiss." Yojin explained.

"Yojinnie, Eotteokhae?!?!?!"

"Waeyo?"

"I like him so much."

"Ara." Yojin sighed. "You were finally able to admit that you love him, aye?"

"YAH! Don’t get carried away! I admitted that I LIKE him. I said nothing about LOVE!!!"

"Oh...Ara!~ I've just been hoping that we'll be in-laws one day. I couldn't control myself."

"That won't happen..."

"DON'T SAY THAT!! Don't you kill a little girl's dream! I want Oppa to be with someone who I approve of. He promised me that I could help him pick."

"You don't like Jieun?"

Yojin made a face.

"No. She NEVER noticed Oppa. He did a lot to gain her attention but she never looked his way."

______ started to tear up.

"Well...she does now. I'm going to go home early. Let Lee Kikwang know."

"Oppa's will be worried!"

"I'll call a cab"

As if on cue, Kikwang came.

"Aww...you're leaving?!" he pouted. "We didn't get a chance to dance enough."

______ bowed to him.

"Mianhae, Kikwangie...I'm just not feeling well."

Kikwang exhaled.

"I'll you home, for safety reasons. You're a woman and it's dangerous."

"Arasseo." she said.

She forced a smile.

"Why is she crying?" Kikwang whispered to Yojin.

"Stress?" she lied. "Unnie is ALWAYS under a lot of stress."

"In that case, let's get you a coffee...or super massive ice cream sundae."

She laughed a bit.

"Geurae..."

"Even better, we can go to a movie. That way, you can get your mind off of whatever is bothering you."

She smiled and nodded.

"Two hours in a dark room, sounds good right now."

"We can watch a comedy."

They caught a cab to the nearest theater, and bought tickets to whatever show started soonest.

When the movie let out he took her home.

"Okay, next time we see a movie, we should plan ahead. That was a terrible movie. What was it even about?"

______ smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

"Beats me. Did it even have a plot?"

"I think it had half of a plot...? Either that or it was...yeah I can't describe it."

She had her mind off of Yoseob.

Finally.

Kikwang sighed.

He had been watching ______ all night.

"______-ssi?"

"Ne?"

"I...um...I like..."

"Huh?"

Kikwang blushed so much.

"I like popcorn. Do you like popcorn?!"

She blinked.

"Uh....yeah. Popcorn is good."

"Aish...that sounded stupid. I...um...I noticed that your mood was up tonight."

"Of course! It was a party!"

Kikwang nodded.

"Then, it went down again...drastically."

______ sighed.

"Ara. I'm sorry, Kikwang-ssi. You didn't get to hang out with your friends."

"It was MY choice to come with you. You're my date and I promised Ricky that I'd take care of you tonight."

______ smiled and leaned in to kiss his cheek.

"Kamsahamnida. You're so sweet."

"Are you pissed at Yoseobie?"

"MWO?!"

"Every time you spoke to him...your mood changed."

"Um..."

'Why did her mood change?' he thought. 'Does she like Yoseobie?'

Kikwang took off his jacket and draped it over her shoulders.

"Kamsa."

"Tell me something?"

"Hmm! What is it!"

"Are you jealous of Yoseobie and Jieun?"

"MWOYA?!"

Judging by her reaction, he already knew the answer.

"You like Yoseobie." he stated.

"No."

"No, it's not a question, it was a statement. You like Yoseobie. Period. There's no question mark."

She blinked at him.

"Kikwang-ssi..."

"Could you just, spend the rest of the night with me? You cried over him. Yoseobie is the reason you were sad and wanted to leave the party."

______ didn't want to argue.

"Honestly..."

"Are you even attracted to me?" he asked.

"Are you kidding me?! I'm very attracted to you!"

"Why am I not the one?"

"I don't know. Honestly, there was a time that I was lost."

"Lost? Lost how?"

"I liked you both."

"MWO?! Y-You liked me?!"

______ nodded.

"You're so easy to talk to."

"So...in reality, it could've been either of us?"

"Yes."

"Damn...I should've made you jealous with a girl."

______ giggled.

"Then who would I have brought to the party?"

"Hyuna seemed interested." He joked.

______ smiled and leaned in to kiss his cheek.

He stared at her in shock.

“Kamsa.” She said.

“W-Wae?” he stuttered.

“You’re really amazing.”

Kikwang’s face went pink.

“Yah, Yoseobie might get jealous.”

She frowned and shook her head.

‘Nah, he wouldn’t…” she whispered.

“You should just tell him that you like him.”

“Why? What difference would it make?”

Kikwang sighed.

He knew Yoseob well.

‘It would make all the difference , in the world.’ He thought.

“Yah! Enough about Yoseob-ssi!” she growled. “I thought it was OUR date!”

Kikwang chuckled.

“Aww…Mian. That’s right.” He said. She walked ahead of him. ‘Then, I’ll have to hand you over to him. You like each other, so I’m done fighting.’

A week later, The six guys were hanging out.

Doojoon put a hand on Kikwang’s shoulder.

“Yah, lee Kikwang, why so quiet?”

Kikwang shook his head.

“I’m not being quiet. I’m just….I don’t know.”

“You’re quiet. Don’t deny it.” Yoseob said.

Kikwang stood up and slammed his fists on the table.

“I’m just annoyed at you!”

Yoseob rolled his eyes.

“Why? I should be the annoyed one.”

"What the hell are you doing?!" Kikwang snapped.

"What do you mean?"

Yojin stomped over.

She was clearly pissed off.

"OPPA!!!~ Why are you so mean?"

"How am I mean?!?!"

Kikwang sighed.

"He's completely oblivious."

"I KNOW!!" she snapped. "What the hell are you doing?"

"I just asked that!"

"Why are you asking that? What do you mean? What am I doing?"

"______ Unnie doesn't want to hang out with me anymore! She won't even answer my calls."

"How is that MY fault? Maybe YOU did something wrong."

"NO! It was YOU, Oppa!!" Yojin scolded. "You rejected Unnie!"

"I DID NOT! She rejected ME! It was not the other way around."

Kikwang sighed again, shaking his head.

"Babo..."

"Yah, why do you keep sighing like that?"

"Yoseob-ah, you're not the one that got rejected! I did...." Kikwang told him.

Yoseob stared at him.

"Mwo? How so?! She went to that party with you."

"I heard that you accepted a date with Lee Jieun right in front of Unnie."

"I wanted ______ to ask me."

"She was going to..." Kikwang and Yojin shouted in his face.

“No, I was going to at the party, but Jieun pulled me away.”

“Babo, she was your date. DUH!” Doojoon said, flicking his forehead.

“YAH!”

"Whoa, what's with all the yelling?" Gayoon asked, walking up with the other girls. "YAH, Yang Yoseob what did you do?!?!?!"

"MWOYA?!? Nothing!!"

Gayoon ignored him and turned towards Kikwang.

"Kikwang-ah, what did he do?"

"Have you spoken to ______ lately?"

She shook her head in response.

"No, but I figured she would be working. I guess not, since Yojin is here."

Yoseob gasped.

"WAIT! No one can contact her? Did you check her house? Is she missing? Did she run away?"

"Run away?!?!?!" Gayoon panicked. "Seriously, Yoseob, what did you do?"

"NOTHING!!~~" he whined. "Stop it!"

"Unnie, I'll tell you what Oppa did. First, he got ______ Unnie to fall for him. Then, he asked out Lee Jieun in front of her."

"You did WHAT?!???"

"Yah, that's NOT TRUE!"

"Now, he shoved his hand into her chest, pulled out her heart, and stomped on it."

"Yah...what makes you all think that ______ likes me?"

They all just stared at him.

"Common sense?" Yojin asked.

"You said it." Kikwang agreed.

"Mhm, that's it." Hyuna said.

 “YAH! OPPA!!~” Sohyun whined.

“Seriously, Yang Yoseob, What’s your problem?” Jihyun questioned

 “Mhm…” Yojin nodded. She sighed.  "Oppa it’s not that Jieun is a bad person but...______ Unnie likes you. As much as you used to like Lee Jieun, maybe you didn't date for a reason."

"What if ______ and I aren't meant to be?" he asked.

"______ Unnie hasn't showed much interest in guys before. She was always busy with family stuff and never had time for it. Oppa, there is a lot you don't know about her." Hyuna said.

"I've been friend-zoned though!"

‘This punk….’ Kikwang scoffed."Psh, NO! I've been friend-zoned!" he shouted.

"Mwo?"

“If you were to go to her, and confess right now…”

“I’d get rejected….”

“Just don’t bring Jieun along and you’ll be fine.”

Yoseob shouted in frustration.

“YAH, I don’t even have her address.”

“I’ll text it to you.” Yojin said.

Yoseob blinked at them.

“You serious think she likes ME?”

Yojin rolled her eyes.

She guided him to a cab.

“Aish, I’ll just come with you.”

“You WILL?!”

“Psh…I’m going to show you where Unnie’s house is, and then leave.”

“Wait…N-NOW?!?” he panicked.

“It’s now or never.” Junhyung said.

Yojin rode the cab, with Yoseob, to ______’s house.

She pointed to the house that ______ lived in.

“There it is.” She said.

Yoseob rubbed his sweaty palms.

“If you guys are lying…” he warned.

Yojin smiled.

“Yoo ______ is my best friend. She tells me how she feels. I’m ONE HUNDRED PERCENT, sure that she likes you.”

Yoseob’s expression turned to a smile.

“Arasseo, I’m going to do it! Like Junhyungie said, ‘It’s now, or never’, right? I WILL do it, this time.”

“Oppa, FIGHTING!~” Yojin giggled, pushing him out the door. “Awww…My little Oppa is growing up!~”

“YAH!” he shouted.

“ANNYEONG!~~~~” she squealed as the cab pulled away. “Kekekekekekekekeke! I’m so evil.”

Yoseob, hestitantly, took a step up to the door.

He rang the doorbell.

“No answser.”

“Hmm…maybe she’s not home?’ he whispered. He started to panic again. “What if she IS home, and she’s pretending not to be?! Aish, is she THAT mad at me?”

“Um…excuse me? Can I help you?” a male voice came from behind.

Yoseob turned around to see Ricky standing there.

“Um…”

“This is MY house.”

Yoseob looked the boy over, and then turned to the house.

He looked at the boy again.

“This is YOUR house?”

“NE!~~” he answered cheerfully. “Are you looking for someone? Aah, you must be looking for my Noona, right?”
