Chapter Four

 

                 Jiyoon entered the store tapping away on her phone dialing Soyoon’s number.

                “Eobsaeyo? Soyoonie? It’s me,”

                “Hey, what’s up?” Soyoon’s voice giggled from the other end.

                “You have one guess as to who I just ran into in front of the music store.”

                “Aw. Mwolla! Tell me, tell me!” Soyoon whined.

                “Ani, you have to guess!” Jiyoon insisted as she picked up an Epik High CD examining it before putting it down again.

                Soyoon huffed on the other side, “Hyunjoong sunbae-nim!”

                “Yah! Be serious!”

                “Fine, fine, Kyungie Oppa?”  Soyoon said.

                Jiyoon was glad this was a phone conversation as a light blush graced her face, “Ani, it wasn’t Kyung- I ran into Jinyoung Oppa.”

                “Jinyoung Oppa? As in the Jung Jinyoung? Like B1A4 Jinyoung, Baro Jinyoung?” Soyoon rambled on excitedly.   

                Jiyoon let out a laugh, “Yes, that Jinyoung! They’re all finally coming back.”

                “Omona! Does that mean my favorite-est donsaengie is back?” Soyoon asked excitedly.

                “Ani, only Jinyoung Oppa and Gongchannie are back for now. Baro-Baro, Sandeullie and Shinwoo Oppa are still in Japan, they’ll be coming in a week or two,” Jiyoon said- she could imagine the pout on Soyoon’s face as she browsed through the CDs of the store.

                “Oh, really? What schools are they going to go to?” Soyoon asked.

                “Well, Shinwoo and Jinyoung Oppadeuls and Baro-Baro are coming to ours of course, and Gongchannie and Sandeullie are going to go to Lee Middle School,” Jiyoon replied.

                “Ahkay, so they aren’t going to start for another month-ish then huh?”

                “Nope, probably not. But I’m happy as it is! I mean, it has been like two years! I almost didn’t recognize Jinyoung Oppa and then he spoke up about how I’m still the same. Besides his looks he’s the same too though, immature!” Jiyoon said whining a bit.

                Soyoon giggled, “Hahahaha, let me guess he still messed up your hair?”

                “YES! THAT PABO STILL MESSES MY HAIR UP! ONE OF THESE DAYS HE’S GOING-”

                “Breathe Jiyoon! Breathe! You’re in public,” Soyoon said.

                Jiyoon’s eyes widened as she looked around, turning slightly red. Luckily no one really took notice, except two guys around her age; one had incredibly large eyes and the other a nice chiseled face. Just great. She pretended nothing was wrong and continued to browse.

                “Found anything good?” Soyoon’s voice piped up from the other line.

                “Mmmm nothing eye-catching yet,” Jiyoon mumbled, she noticed one guy come up and start talking to the two other guys her age, the new guy was the tall guy's friend from the bus, and then it hit her that these were the same guys who were with the tall guy at the café. This probably meant that the tall guy wasn’t far away.

                “I guess I’ll talk to you later then! Text me and tell me what you buy, seeya!”

                “Later!” Jiyoon said hanging up.

                Jiyoon continued to go through the CDs, a small smile gracing her lips whenever she saw one from someone she knew or was good friends with.

                The three guys were fan-boying over some girl group of Ji Park. Jiyoon rolled her eyes, wondering if the tall guy was like that too. She couldn’t help but wonder where he was.

                “Quinnge!” speak of the devil.

                Jiyoon looked up, bewildered to see the tall guy again.

                “Y-you again!” she said stuttering. 

                Secretly, although she would never admit it, she was rather happy to run into him again.

                “This is fate, we’ve met each other twice in one day!” he said.

                Three times actually but you don’t know that, Jiyoon thought to herself.

                Jiyoon cleared , “What are you doing here?”

                Pabo Jiyoon, obviously getting music.

                “My idiot friends over there wanted to preview the SNSD CDs before actually buying them, well only two of them, the one with the big eyes, yah that one, he is just there because we dragged him along. I on the other hand came to look at some more CDs. I’m thinking I might get the 2PM CD. Taecyeon Sunbae-nim is a really good rapper. Do you know them?”

                “Me? Um I don’t really know 2PM that well, but I have heard him rap and he is pretty good,” Jiyoon replied, “Do you rap too?”

                The tall guy chuckled, “Just a little, my best friend and I are the lead rappers in our group. We haven’t debuted yet because he is living abroad along with two other friends and some of our other members are going to join him later too.”

                “Wow, you must have a pretty big group,” Jiyoon commented.

                He shrugged, “I guess. What about you?”

                “I’m a rapper too-” she started.

                “Really? I thought you would be the visual since you’re so pretty.”

                Jiyoon laughed, “Wow! Daebak! You really are blunt!”

                The tall guy looked astounded, “I already told you that i'm like that. But, your reaction, this is new.”

                “What? Did you expect me to blush and look away and make awkward eye contact with you before stuttering ‘I-I’m n-not p-p-pretty?’ like every other girl you’ve hit on with that line?” Jiyoon asked.

                “Woah, woah slow down. I’m not the player that’s my friend with the good face over there. But yeah I did, most girls do that when he uses that line,” he replied.

                Jiyoon just snorted, rolling her eyes. She picked up another CD, it was one by ZE:A, the group where her cousins Heecheol and Taeheon were in. She held onto this one before continuing to look through the rest.

                “So who are your rapping models?” the tall guy asked.

                Jiyoon bit her lip, her answer would be her brothers, all three of them but that would be a little too obvious with her connections to them, “Jang Dongwoo of Infinite and B1A4’s Baro…” she replied.

                Well it was a half lie; she was inspired by them a lot, “Yours?”

                “Hmm, Jung Yunho from Dong Bang Shin Ki and Eli Kim from UKISS,” he replied.

                She and the tall guy kept looking through the CDs expressing their thoughts on the different rappers of each group. He picked up a one from SHINee and Jiyoon picked one of her Jiyong Oppa’s. It was at that moment that they both confirmed what they both knew all along, they went to rival schools, but it didn’t stop them from still talking to each other.

                “You know Dongwoo sunbae is really cool! He’s really funny!” the tall guy said.

                Jiyoon smiled, “Yeah but he is a genius in disguise.”

                “You know him?” the tall guy asked.

                “Yeah, he’s like another older brother to me. What about you?”

                “Yeah of course! I met him because of Hoya hyung!”

                “Ah, Tae River’s playboy,” Jiyoon said.

                “Do you know him too?”

                “No, I only know Dongwoo Oppa and I met Sunggyu Oppa and Sungjong a few times, I know all the names of the members of his group, I just don’t know them personally or by face,” Jiyoon said shrugging, “It’s just Hoya-sshi has a reputation in I think all the schools so I’ve heard of him, he can’t be that bad though, otherwise Dongwoo Oppa wouldn’t hang out with him so much.”

                “Really? I know Hoya hyung really well, well I guess kinda, he’s Yunho Hyung’s cousin so we saw him quite a few times and then we met Dongwoo Hyung and Sunggyu Hyung a few times.”

                “YAH YEOL CHECK THIS OUT!” the guy with the big eyes called ‘Yeol’ over.

                “HOLD ON!” he hollered back, “You got everything you need Quinnge?” he asked her as she picked up a CD by Beast and another by Kara.

                Jiyoon nodded, “You?”

                “Give or take, if I didn’t then it’s a good excuse to come back here again. I really like this place,” he shrugged a reply.

                “YEOL! COME ON!”

                Jiyoon checked the clock to see that it was almost time for her to meet up with everyone for dinner.

                She gave a small smirk as the tall guy Yeol rolled his eyes. Jiyoon went and paid for the four CDs, even though she would have gotten them for free, she wanted to help boost their sales however possible, it helped them in the competitions. The Yeol guy paid for his SHINee an 2PM CDs, and Jiyoon’s phone buzzed.

                From Grumpy Heecheol Oppa:
                Yah! Are you gonna show up or not?

                To Grumpy Heecheol Oppa:
                I’m on my way!

                From Grumpy Heecheol Oppa:
                You better hurry! Everyone is already here!

                “Aish, there still fifteen minutes left!” Jiyoon hissed under her breath.

                “Guess you’re leaving first again Quinnge, seeya ‘round,” the tall guy said.

                “You too Taotive!” She said with a grin.

                “Taotive?”

                “You’re a tall tower and very talkative- Taotive,” she hollered back walking away giving a small wave without turning around, a grin graced Taotive’s face, of course she didn’t see that, but she knew it when the big eyed guy’s voice said, “You’re smiling like an idiot.”

                She hoped that this wasn’t the last time she ran into him. They probably should have exchanged names at the very least.

                Jiyoon half-walked and half-jogged to the Blackjack, it was a nice cozy but spacious place that served a variety of foods from different places, so no matter how different each person’s taste was they all could get something. That and it was owned by CL’s uncle Yang. It didn’t take her long to arrive. She was greeted by Uncle Yang's smiling face as he pointed to the area on the left. She greeted him before heading over there.

                She was about ready to apologize when she saw that there were only three people there, Heecheol, Minwoo, and Taeheon.

                “I should have known better that to trust your text!” Jiyoon huffed as she went over to Minwoo, “Annyeong Oppa! I’m so happy to see you again!” she said giving him a hug.

                She knew that having dinner with her these two cousins of her meant that some of their group mates would join, Minwoo was always a given and sometimes Kwanghee, Junyoung, or even Siwan would join.

                “You too Jiyoon, how’s your new rap coming along?” Minwoo asked.

                “Pretty good,” Jiyoon replied as she skipped past Heecheol and hugged Taeheon, “Oppa! I don’t see you often enough!” she said as she plopped down on the seat next to him.

                “YAH! Where’s my hug?”

                “Oh. Annyeonghaseyo Heecheol-sshi,” Jiyoon said glaring at Heecheol.

                “Oh! So mature. Being overly formal with me like that! What! Is it a crime that I wanted to see my favorite-est cousin quicker?”

                “HEY! I thought I was your favorite?” Taeheon said feigning hurt.

                “You are- my favorite guy cousin, Jiji-yah is my favorite lady cousin,” Heecheol replied.

                “So I’m not your favorite, I’m tied in that case?” Jiyoon asked pouting a bit, she and Taeheon were going to have a fun time teasing Heecheol.

                “ANI! That’s not it-”

                “Taeheon Oppa we should just hang out these days, it’s obvious Heecheol-sshi doesn’t love us!” Jiyoon said as Minwoo clutched his stomach, silent laughs coursing through him.

                “Otokaji Jiyoonnie? I thought I was loved,” Taeheon said sniffling a bit.

                “You are! I love you both! I have a favorite cousin for each gender!”

                “So who is your overall favorite?” Taeheon asked as Jiyoon chuckled.

                “Junhyung of course!” Heecheol said as Junhyung and Hara made their entrance.

                “Annyeong,” they both greeted as Hara sat next to Minwoo and across from Jiyoon and Junhyung next to her, their hands still clasped together, fingers intertwined.

                “So what about my Oppa?” Hara asked.

                Jiyoon and Taeheon hugged each other fake sobbing.

                “Heecheol-” Taeheon began,

                “Replaced both of us as his-” Jiyoon continued

                “Favorites with Junhyung!” Taeheon finished as they both let out another obnoxiously loud sob as Minwoo laughed harder.

                “Sorry Heecheollie! I’m afraid I’m not available for the taking,” Junhyung said as everyone (save Hara) rolled their eyes.

                “AW! Oppa your so sweet!” Hara said pinching his cheek.

                Jiyoon was jealous, (although a little sickened by the over the top PDA and finger-curling greasiness of the couple) she couldn’t help but envy their relationship, Hara was lucky to have her cousin and he likewise. Although at first neither admitted their like to each other during one of the competitions Junhyung had confessed and their feelings were mutual. Jiyoon wasn’t the type to care about the “boys are the ones who should confess” thing, if she liked someone enough she would tell them herself- that is, if it was any other guy other than her brother’s best friend.

                “Jiyoonnie! You and Hyuna did a really good job decorating the freshman hall!” Hara complimented.

                “Thanks Eonnie!”Jiyoon replied, “Our plans for the wall are even better!”

                They chattered around waiting for Dongwoo to show up.

                “Oh yeah! Guess what!” Jiyoon said.

                “What? Did you and your friends figure out a group name?” Minwoo asked.

                “Ani, not yet. We’re still in the process it’s hard,”  Jiyoon said.

                “We know what you mean,” Minwoo said as all of the others nodded their heads in agreement.

                “So what’s the news?” Junhyung asked.

                “I ran into someone today,” Jiyoon said, she knew that Junhyung probably knew that Jinyoung and Gongchan were back since Gongchan was Junhyung’s favorite dongsaeng. after her

                “Oh, I know who,” Junghyung said understanding that Jiyoon wanted the other’s to guess to see what crazy things they will say.

                “Who? Song Joong Ki?” Heecheol said referring to one of Jiyoon’s favorite sunbaes who was well known for his acting even outside of Eidol district.

                “No Heecheol-sshi, I wouldn’t come here if I ran into him,” Jiyoon replied.

                “Jiyoon! You would choose Song Joong Ki over me?” Taeheon asked, acting all hurt as Jiyoon playfully hit him.

                “She would choose almost anyone over you Taeheon,” Minwoo replied sticking his toungue out as Taeheon glared at him.

                Heecheol chortled.

                “But you should be happy Taeheonnnie! At least you aren’t her last pick, that would be Heecheol,” everyone guffawed as it was Heecheol’s turn to glare.

                “What’s so funny?” asked an exhausted looking Dongwoo as he finally arrived.

                But he didn’t arrive alone, there was someone else with him. Jiyoon’s eyes widened as she recognized. Wow, she was running into a lot of people over and over today. Her eyes locked with Dongwoo’s friend’s.

                “Oh it’s you again,” he said, his eyes shining in amusement.

                “You two know each other?”  Dongwoo asked.

                “Sorta, but not really,” he replied.

                “Aish this kid, you, GAH! I’m not even bothering. Guys this is my friend-”

~>o~0~o~0~o<~

                He was sitting at Yumm! Woo Coffee Café with his friends when she walked in. He zoned out of the conversation that he and his friends were having about the Manchester United vs Chelsea Soccer match. He watched her place an order. He didn’t understand what was drawing him to her? She was pretty but there was more to it. Among his friends he was the one that could always read people well, but he couldn’t read her.

As she waited her eyes wandered through the café, taking in her surroundings. He realized that if he didn’t look away he would get caught. He felt her gaze on him and looked up, pretending to only notice her now.  He gave her a wink, she scoffed and turned away. He was in shock. That. Never. Happened.

He continued to watch her and saw that she and some other guy had a problem with an order, the guy let her have the drink and she gave him a quick bow before leaving. He was fascinated, this girl was something else, he hoped he would run into her again.

“Yah! Yah! Yeol are you paying attention?”

“What Hyun?” he asked.

“Dude you’ve been so out of it lately.”

“I’m just thinking Soo,” he replied.

“Thinking doesn’t suit you.”

“YAH! Shikuro! I’m older than you Jong, show some respect!”

His friends laughed and he joined in. They continued to talk more about the match. His mind wandered again to the girl.

Yup, he was fascinated by her. Did he like her? No, he didn’t believe in love at first sight. But he was interest in her, the mysterious, unreadable, strange girl.

 Yes, he, Park Chanyeol was genuinely fascinated by a girl for the first time.


Authors Note:  Hahaha- did I get you at the end? 

Also I thought I would mention, if you have noticed that on my posters there is always a picture of Jiyoon in a heart somewhere- starting next chapter I will be hiding the picture somewhere in that picture, if you can be the first one to find it and comment on it I may just give you some karma :) Anyone catch the puns/allusions yet? Hehe there is karma for that too but for that one you have to PM me.

Have you guys heard about Hara and Junhyung? I hope they are still together and are doing okay! I really like that couple but if they break up it’s their choice! I hope everything works out!

SO WHO IS EXCITED FOR INFINITE'S COMEBACK? I KNOW I AM!

Chapter 1: Mmm I like the writing! But personally the plot doesn't capture me, and I'll tell you why as not-offensively as I can manage! So please don't be hurt by my words <3 I'm only trying to give some feedback and not trying to put you down!

1. Your writing is great. It flows well and enough detail is given. But try to vary your sentence structures. If you put a full stop and begin a new sentence, look at your last 2 sentences and try to decide on a different word to begin the sentence. For example, it could be "It was ___. But___. Although___." instead of "But___. But___. However___."
2. Too much information not evolving the plot is given. Eg. the stuff about the cousins and Zico's name. The beginning of a story/chapter is especially important in setting the scene, so it's better to have a mood or atmosphere build up in the first few paragraphs, rather than a lot of side notes for character(s).
3. Some things that needed more explanation weren't explained. Now I'm not sure if you went on to talk about what Block B is what the 'group names' are for, but for impatient readers like me who want to understand things from the first chapter, I wouldn't give you a second chance by checking out the next few chapters just to find out what I was wondering about in chapters one.

ALL IN ALL A GREAT EFFORT! This is your first fic so it really is a very decent effort! My first fic was ugly as hell (Childhood Promises) so please don't be discouraged by my harsh advice! Practice makes perfect! <3 <3

Chapter 2: Okay... I loved it!!! I'm only commenting now because I was reading it slowly and trying to grasp the ideas put forth. I usually read everything quickly because it's slow but I like the pace this is set at!! Hope you update soon, you haven't given names to your characters yet >.<
