Jiyoon POV

We’re in the practice room but, why do I feel like someone is watching me? I have the strange sensation that there is someone outside…staring at me…

I looked up to the mirror and glanced at the reflection of the door. Nothing, I couldn’t see anything…

‘I must be imagining things’  I thought shaking my head and going back to stretch my legs.

After a minute or so, I stood up and saw some movement outside the practice room. I peeked over the window and saw him! I saw Junhyung-oppa standing up the couch that was in the resting area. Dongwoon was patting his shoulder.

My heart started beating faster when I saw him getting near. We haven’t spoken in a couple of days, and to be honest, I think I was kinda running away, even though I have decided that I was going to try to talk to him one last time…

‘He’s coming, he’s coming!’  my brain yelled loudly. I swallowed and then, when oppa passed in front of the door, he glanced at it and our eyes met for the first time in two days. He looked away immediately. I felt somehow disappointed…

I opened the door and saw his figure disappeared inside the practice room that was down the hall.

‘How on earth did he get there so fast?’

Dongwoon was trying to catch up with him.

I took a deep breath. ‘Ok, is now or never’

‘I’ll be back in a few’ I said to my members that were staring at me with curious eyes. I went out the room and closed the door carefully behind me.

I walked decidedly to Beast practice room and stood in front of the door. I was gaining force to speak when I saw Doojoon-oppa’s face appearing right in front of me. I startled and took a step back.

‘Yah!’ I let out without noticing. He frowned.

‘Hey! I’m not that ugly! …am I?’

I giggled. ‘Well, you’re asking the wrong person’

‘Oh, yeah, you only have eyes to our joker now’ a smirk grew in his face.

‘What…?’ I stared at him surprised. ‘How does he know?!’

‘Is too obvious, everybody knows’ he said calmly, ‘…well, except for him…’

Doojoon-oppa glanced at Junhyung-oppa that was sat on the floor with an absent expression; apparently, he was in the middle of some kind of deep thoughts.

‘You wanna talk to him?’ oppa asked me with curiosity. I took a second to reply, then, I simply nodded. ‘Ok’ he said and walked away.

I saw him catching Junhyung-oppa’s attention and pointing at me with his head. Oppa turned around and his face went white in a second. He stumbled a little while standing up and then, he kinda swung back and forth until he got in front of me.

‘Hey…’ I said trying to sound normal. I tried to smile too but I guess it wasn’t convincing.

‘Hey…’ he replied avoiding my eyes.

Straightforward as I am, I went direct to the point. ‘Listen… do you have time this afternoon?’

He glanced at me briefly. ‘Why?’ he asked faking a mock.

‘I need to tell you something’ I simply said, but the truth is that my heart was beating fast and I felt a knot in my throat.

He stared at me for a moment and then he nodded silently.

‘Good, see you later then’ I said and bid goodbye. I my heels and went away. The truth is, I wanted to run, but I refuse to let him know how nervous I was.

The moment I entered the practice room, I let myself fall onto the floor.

‘Where were you?’ Sohyun asked helping me to get up.

‘I went to see Junhyung-oppa…’ I said leaning on her shoulder to stand up straight. I feel like my knees were about to fail me again.

‘WHAT??’ My four members startled in shock.

‘Did you tell him already?’ Jihyun-unnie asked getting closer.

‘No’ I said shaking my head. ‘I’m going to…this afternoon’

‘Good luck unnie’ said Sohyun patting my back.

Hyuna threw herself to my arms. ‘Unnie hwaiting~!’ she said in her usual cute tone.

I tried to smile but I guess they all notice the fear in my eyes.

‘Everything is going to be fine’ this time Gayoonie patted my back.

‘Thanks…’ I muttered.

‘Ok, let’s back to practice’ NamJi announced clapping a few times. We all obeyed and went directly to our usual formation for our new upcoming song, Mirror Mirror.

‘This practice is going to be the longest…’  I thought a second before the music started. I let myself fall in the music, no more thinking for the moment…

End POV

That afternoon…

4minute’s practice time ended early, and as soon as the leader announced that it was over, Jiyoon started to have second thoughts about going to see Junhyung…

‘This is your chance unnie’ said Hyuna lifting her fist in the air. ‘Hwaiting!’

Jiyoon hesitated and looked nervously to the door.

‘Go’ she heard Gayoon saying softly near her ear. Jiyoon looked into her friend’s eyes for a moment and then, like gaining strength from them, she nodded decided.

‘Here we go…’ she said sighing and went out the room.

She went directly to Beast practice room, but when she got there, the place was empty.

‘Where are they?’she thought looking around.

‘Are you looking for Beast?’ a person from the staff that was passing by asked her. Jiyoon nodded. ‘They went out’

‘Do you know where?’ the girl asked getting closer to the person.

‘Interview, I think’ the man said.

‘Oh…ok, thank you’ Jiyoon bowed a little and then, she entered 4minute’s practice room.

‘Well, that was fast’ said Gayoon when she saw her friend entering the room.

‘He’s not here’ Jiyoon said dragging her feet to the place where her bag was.

‘Where is he?’ this time Hyuna was the one asking.

‘Interview, I think’

‘So…’

‘So, I’m going to wait for him’ Jiyoon cut off Sohyun’s attempt of asking. ‘I need to speak to him today…’

‘Are you going to wait for him here?’ Hyuna looked around her. ‘Alone?’

Jiyoon giggled a little. ‘No, silly, I’m going to Beast dorm; I’m going to wait for him there’

‘Oh…Can I go with you?’ the little rapper suddenly asked.

‘No’ Jiyoon replied immediately.

‘But I want to see Kikwang-oppa~’ Hyuna started to whine.

‘I said, no’

‘Hyuna, stop being so childish’ Gayoon scolded the younger girl. The latter pouted.

‘You better go now’ the leader spoke tapping Jiyoon’s shoulder.

‘Yeah…’

The girl picked up her bag from the floor and bid goodbye to her friends.

‘Wish me luck’ she said before disappearing behind the door.

‘GOOD LUCK!’ four girls yelled from inside the room.

Jiyoon smiled to herself and went down the stairs without waiting for the elevator to come. She was feeling the necessity to burn all that energy that the upcoming encounter was leaving her.

‘Well, this might be the last time I go to Beast dorm…’  thought the girl a bit sad when she started to walk towards the boy group’s dorm.

The moment she arrived to Beast building, she went inside, she greeted the man in the reception and made her way to the stairs, she also went up by foot.

The whole way there she’d been thinking on the words she was going to say, how she was going to act, she even thought in the reactions he would have…

Without noticing, she got to the floor and she almost keeps climbing stairs until she recognized the plant pot near the elevator. Then, she dragged her feet to Beast door and hesitated before pressing the bell. She waited for a few seconds and when no one answered, she sat on the floor next to the door.

Almost immediately, she let out a heavy sigh. She didn’t notice she was this exhausted when she was walking…

‘Crap, what did I do? run here?’  she thought still catching her breath.

A few minutes passed and as no one was coming, she took out her phone and saw a message unread. She opened it and it was from Junhyung.

“Jiyoon-ah, I’m so sorry, apparently, we had to do an interview that was not in the schedule. Can we talk tomorrow?”

She saw the time and it was about an hour before she went out Cube’s building.

‘Oh well, I’m already here so, no Junhyung, we can’t talk tomorrow…’  she thought closing the message and started to play with her phone. A few minutes later, she fell asleep…

Junhyung POV

‘Jiyoonie is going to kill me!’  I shouted in my head while I was watching the cars pass by. I unlocked my phone and opened the messaging.

“Jiyoon-ah, I’m so sorry, apparently, we had to do an interview that was not in the schedule. Can we talk tomorrow?”

I finished writing and pressed ‘send’.

‘I hope she still wants to talk to me after this…’

‘You look preoccupied, hyung’ Doojoon-hyung asked tapping my shoulder. I frowned.

‘Well, Jiyoonie wanted to talk to me and I just sent her a message saying I can’t, does it look a thing to not be preoccupied about?’ I replied annoyed.

‘Relax man…’ my friend said defensive. ‘I was just asking’

‘Hyung, don’t worry, you’ll talk to her later’ Seobie said with her usual cheery voice.

‘I hope she still want to…’ I mumbled looking away.

‘She will’ he said and patted my arm. I nodded and looked at my phone for a second.

‘She’s not replying…’

Normally, she replied instantly when I send a message, but this time, she was not replying… I looked outside the window with my phone still in my hand.

Almost 10 minutes had passed and I got no reply…

‘I hope she’s not that mad…’  I begged inside my head.

‘We’re here boys’ manager-hyung said from the front chair. The van door opened and we all went down.

The interview took a while to start, and in that time, I space out… The only thing I could think about was Jiyoonie and if she was mad or not, or if she saw the message or not, or…

‘Hyung, the interview is starting’ Seungie tapped my leg. I nodded and looked to the cameras.

To tell the truth, I was barely paying attention to what the interviewer was asking. I simply nodded from time to time and when I heard something I knew what to say, I spoke briefly.

‘I want to go home…’  I thought looking at the crew that was with all their eyes on us.

After a few more minutes, the PD announced that the interview was over. I was almost the first one to get up the chair and went to the car again.

My members took a bit more time to enter the car but as soon as they were all inside, the driver started the car and we were on our way home.

‘What time is it?’ asked Kikwangie yawning.

I took out my phone and saw the hour. ‘Eight’ I said distracted by the fact that I didn’t have new messages nor calls neither…

‘At the end, Jiyoonie didn’t reply…’  I felt sad… I leaned my head back and tried to fall asleep…but I couldn’t…

About 15 minutes later, we were at the dorm.

‘Finally’  I thought and pressed the call button of the elevator.

‘Hyung, why the hurry?’ Dongwoon asked me a bit annoyed.

‘I just want to sleep…’ I said as cranky as he. Maknae glared at me but I ignored him.

As soon as the elevator came, I entered; my band mates followed and Doojoon-hyung pressed number 5.

We waited for the few seconds the elevator took to hit the 5^th floor, and suddenly, I felt strange, like something were about to happen…

‘WOAH! Jiyoo-’ Seobie shouted but was interrupted by Doojoon-hyung.

‘Shhh!’

My heart stopped beating for a second. ‘WHAT?’

I moved my band mates aside and I could see Jiyoonie seated on the cold floor with her head on her crossed arms. She was sleeping.

‘What is she doing here?’ I asked confused.

Yoseobie and Kiki turned their smiling heads to me.

‘Is obvious hyung…’ said maknae shrugging.

I was paralyzed.

‘You should talk to her…’ Doojoon-leader said putting his hand on my shoulder.

‘But-’

‘Quit playing hard to get and go make out with her already’ interrupted Kiki also putting his hand on my shoulder.

I glanced at my sleeping friend and felt like a horrible person for making her wait for me on the floor.

‘Now I know why she didn’t reply…’  I mumbled in my head.

I gave a quick look at my band mates.  They gave me their thumps up before entering the dorm quietly.

As soon as my friends were out of view, I turned to see Jiyoonie and went down her level.

‘Jiyoonie…’ I called shaking her shoulder lightly. She didn’t move. ‘Jiyoonie…’ I tried again and this time, she moved. She raised her head and met my eyes. I felt a knot in my stomach. ‘What are you doing h-’

End POV

Jiyoon POV

‘Jiyoonie…’ I heard an angel’s voice in the distance. I moved a little and then, I opened my eyes…

It was him… Junhyung-oppa was in front of me looking at me with a worried expression.

‘This is a nice dream…’  I thought before leaning over and pressing my lips against his…………………………………………… ‘Wait, WHAT?!’

I opened my eyes and moved back. I saw Junhyung-oppa as stiffened as a statue. His eyes were showing me great shock.

‘Crap… I thought it was a dream!!’  I closed my eyes cursing to my insides. ‘He’ll never forgive me for this…’

‘Oppa…’ I called him softly but he didn’t move; his eyes fixed on me. ‘I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean it to be this way, I…’

I leaned back my head back for brief moment trying to organize my thoughts. ‘Since I blew it, let’s say it all once and for all’

‘Oppa, listen’ I finally said cupping his face on my hands. ‘I never intended to hurt you, I’m sorry I did it that way, I was stupid and selfish, and I hope you can forgive me one day but listen, I have no idea what you thought I was doing that day but here is the truth: you were never the rebound guy’ I made a pause to figure out his thoughts, but he was unreadable at that moment. I sighed. ‘Oppa…I truly love you…’ I whispered looking directly at his eyes.

He wasn’t moving, he wasn’t even blinking! Ugh… I felt suddenly defeated. I let go his face and stood up.

‘Great, my pride had just disappeared…’  I thought heading my feet to the elevator. I pressed the button when I heard some movement behind me.

‘What did you say?’ Oppa asked almost in a whisper. I turned around and met his eyes.

‘You were never the rebound guy…’ I repeated.

He stood up slowly while shaking his head. ‘Not that part…the other…’

I couldn’t help but smile. ‘He was really listening’

‘I… I truly love you…’ I said almost in a whisper feeling my face warmer. Oppa’s eyes widened and an enormous smile grew in his face.

‘I thought I had dreamed that part…’ he said and in two strides, he stood in front of me. I startled.

Ding~♪

The elevator door opened and Junhyung-oppa pushed me inside until my back touched the cold elevator’s wall.

‘Op-’

I was cut short by Junhyung’s lips. Immediately, I felt light headed.

‘This is really happening?’  I thought trying to find the floor beneath me. The feeling of his lips pressed against mines was so intense… ‘I’m not dreaming…’

I reacted instantly and threw my arms around his neck. He smiled and moved his lips slowly deepening the kiss. I followed the cadence, and in a second, I could feel his hands going down to my waist and pulling my body towards him while he let go a soft sigh. This time, I smiled.

‘Yah! Don’t let the door close!’ we heard Yoseob-oppa shouting from the bottom of his lungs and a sudden commotion took place in the 5^th floor.

Of course, Beast oppas has to break into the moment…

Junhyung-oppa growled and broke the kiss. He turned around angrily and pressed the “close doors” button repeatedly.

‘You’re not ruining this!’ he shouted at his band mates while the door finished closing in front of a dumbfounded Beast that has all their phones pointing at us. I smiled satisfied with his action.

When the door was fully closed, he turned around and faced me.

There was silence for a moment.

‘Jiyoon-ah…’ he called my name softly as he reached for my hand. I let him took it. I liked the feeling of his hand holding mine. ‘I’m sorry I got it all wrong…’

‘Ani, oppa, it was my fault…’ I said pulling him closer. ‘I’m sorry you felt used…’ my voice cracked a bit at the end. His eyes turned softer. ‘I thought you stopped loving me because of it…’

He shook his head and cupped my face. ‘I’ll never stop loving you…’ he said sincerely and put a peck on my lips. I smiled sheepishly.

‘Oppa, you know we can’t be locked here forever’ I said a bit amused by the mere thought.

‘I know, but I like it here’ he said letting my hand go and wrapping his arms around my waist. I put my hands on his chest.

‘You know, that thing we were doing before your band mates intruded was…interesting’ I started doing circles on his chest. He smiled mischievously.

‘Did you like it?’ he asked lifting an eyebrow. I chuckled.

‘Well, it wasn’t bad at all…did you like it?’ I threw him back the question.

‘To tell the truth, before kissing you, I thought you were a good kisser…’ he made a pause and glanced at me observing my reaction. I felt kinda offended and I know he sensed it. He continued. ‘But I never thought you were THAT good!’

I fell for his trap! I opened my mouth to start a complaining scene but suddenly, he took my face and kissed me again.

This time, our mouths moved hastily and the kiss deepened in a bit! His tongue touched mine for a brief second, and that second was enough to drive me crazy! The feeling disappeared way too fast leaving me with a hunger I never felt before. I deepened the kiss even more trying to find that feeling again, and then, there was again… an instant touch and then, it disappeared. He was teasing me! And he was enjoying it way too much!

I growled as I scolded him hitting his chest playfully. He chuckled still kissing me and then, he pulled me even closer and our tongues finally met fully.

The sensation sent shivers down my back and I let out an unconscious sound. He seemed satisfied with it because he hugged me even tighter…

I felt so happy that moment… not only because of the kiss, but because after all we’ve been through, we were finally together…
