Chapter 1: Don't Cry Over Spilt Ice Cream

// The First Time Shownu Sees Park Miyoung // The First Time #Gun Sees Kim Dari //

---

"Oh come oonnnn~ please~ you promised we'd go out this week!"

The older female rolled her eyes at her best friend's persistent begging.

"Miyoung I'm tired. And it's only Monday!"

The shorter female began whining again at the older's rejection.

"Please Dari! It's not that far come one. It's like two minutes away!"

Dari groaned, burying her face in the couch pillow.

"Unniiiieeeee," the younger fake cried before sitting firmly on the other's back.

Dari grunted out a no as her friend landed on her back. Annoyed, the younger female stood up, shaking her upset facade.

"Fine. If you won't drive me then I'll just walk."

She shuffled across the room, back turned to Dari.

"Alone."

She glanced slightly sideways at her friend as she grabbed the older's leather jacket.

"In the dark. By myself."

"Ugh fine!" Dari shouted, jumping off the couch and grabbing her jacket and keys out of Miyoung's hands. "Don't ever say I didn't do anything for you."

The younger female grinned," You love me."

"No I don't," Dari grumbled in response.

xXx

"I can't believe Jooheon ditched me," the lone males complained, adjusting his snapback casually before continuing. "And for Dongrim hyung too."

A tap on his shoulder had him jumping up out of his seat into a standing position.

"Hyunwoo hyung!" He shouted, his hand grasped over his heart," You scared me."

The other male hummed in response as the younger slung an arm over his shoulder.

"So Jooheon ditched you huh Gunhee?"

Gunhee nodded and groaned," What a loser, ditching his best friend."

"How about I buy you ice cream to make up for it?" Hyunwoo smiled slightly, awkwardly bent under the shorter boy's arm. 

The rapper grinned, nodding happily at the older's offer.

"Only if you steal the money out of Jooheon's wallet later."

xXx

Shownu looked down at his watch for the time. 

10:30pm

"It's getting late Gunhee, I have to get on a plane in the morning. Kcon y'know."

The younger boy huffed, leaning back in his chair," You saying you don't want to see me anymore?"

Hyunwoo rolled his eyes as he stood up from his seat.

"Don't be silly. I have to see you every time I go into the Starship building. I couldn't not see you if I tried."

Happy with the older boy's response, Gunhee smiled, standing up from his seat and stretching his legs.

"Alrightly, well I'm just gonna use the bathroom real fast. I'll meet you in the car."

Hyunwoo complied with his friend, standing up and heading out the door. As he pushed the door open he looked down at his chocolate shake, swirling it slightly in his hand. He was deep in his own thoughts - still staring down at his shake - when he felt something knock hard against his chest.

"Ah!"

xXx

Miyoung practically flew off the motorbike when Dari parked it, much too excited about being treated to ice cream.

"I'll meet you inside unnie!" she shouted, tossing her helmet at her best friend and leaving her alone in the parking lot.

Grinning to herself, Miyoung jogged towards the entrance of her favorite ice cream shop. Everything was going smoothly until she turned a corner. She shouted out as her body slammed directly into something - or rather someone - else.

"Ah!"  She yelped in shock as she felt something cold crush and splatter against her chest.

"Oh my gosh..." the other person mumbled, "I'm sorry..."

Miyoung looked up at the person she ran into, eyes widening in shock as she realized who was in front of her - who had ran into her.

"Sh-Shownu?"

The man's eyebrows rose at the female's realization. He gave her a little half smile and nodded awkwardly. Miyoung just stared in shock.

Shownu? I-I ran into Shownu!?

"Sup?" He responded softly, unsure how else to really respond.

The female just stared at him, eyes wide and mouth hanging open.

Cute. Shownu thought to himself as he watched her expression quickly change in an attempt to compose herself.

"Ah," the girl stepped closer to him. "I'm sorry I wasted your shake."

A pout formed on her face as she stared intently at the stain on his chest. Instead of looking at the stain on his own clothes, Hyunwoo's gaze was settled on the stain in her clothing. Looking at the chocolate brown mark on her sleeve he stepped forward, hand reaching out to touch her arm. She stilled as his fingers ran slowly down her arm.

"I didn't mean to..." Shownu started but was almost immediately interrupted.

"Of course not!" Miyoung laughed out. "No one intentionally runs into people and spills ice cream on them."

Hyunwoo watched the females reaction, mesmerised by her light hearted reaction. He pulled gently at the cuff of her sleeve.

"Let me make it up to you." 

Miyoung stared at the man, shocked that an idol would say such a thing.

"Some ice cream perhaps?" He continued, voice slightly strained at the lack of response from the girl.

Please say yes.

When the female nodded, Shownu couldn't help but to break into a smile. His hand wrapped around hers, pulling her forward eagerly.

"I'm Miyoung," she whispered, staring down at their joined hands in shock.

"Just call me Hyunwoo."

xXx

"What an awkward hyung," Gunhee snorted as he watched Shownu interacting with a girl from inside the shop. 

He spied casually, facing away from the two but letting his eyes wander towards them every so often. Gunhee tried not to stare of course - especially since he could see his hyung glancing over to him once in a while - so he let his eyes wander past the male. As he stared out of the shop's wide windows, his eyes caught on a female seated on a motorcycle. He watched as she pulled off her helmet, shaking her hair with her hand before swinging off the bike. His eyes caught on the way her legs tensed as she moved, her skirt lifting slightly as it caught wind.

W-Wow...

Gunhee gulped hard as he openly stared at the female, eyes wide and head turning as he watched her walk around the building. It wasn't until he exhaled deeply as the woman disappeared around the corner that he realized he had been holding his breath.

"Snap out of it Gunhee," the rapper mumbled to himself. "It's just a girl. You've seen girls before."

Only this one seems to be exactly your type.

The sound of the shop door opening pulled his attention away from himself.

Gunhee couldn't help but to grin when he saw Hyunwoo reenter with the girl he ran into standing right next to him, their hands loosely interlocked.

"Hyuuunnngg~" he called out teasingly as the pair approached him, both obviously awkward. "Who's this cute girl you've found hyung?"

The younger boy wiggled his eyebrows, causing the female to look away, blushing lightly.

"This is Miyoung. I spilled my shake on her so I'm treating her to ice cream." Shownu mumbled out.

"What so now I'm not buying you ice cream?"

The three turned to look towards the source of the voice. A girl was standing by the door, arms crossed over her chest and eyebrows raised. The rapper stared in shock at the appearance of the girl, the one who was on the motorcycle. He could feel his heart beating faster in his chest just at her presence. Miyoung grinned, running over to the female and pulling her over to the two boys eagerly. The taller flew forward, tripping as her friend dragged her forward. Gunhee lunged forward when he saw the female falling. His arms shot out, hands pressing firmly against the woman's shoulders. 

"Are you okay?" Gunhee asked worriedly, eyes boring into the female.

She nodded as she lifted her head to look at the male, eyes widening immediately in both shock and embarrassment when they made contact with the person who saved her form face planting. She could feel her cheeks turning pink at the close proximity, his face not a foot away from her own. Miyoung pulled her friend backwards - leaving Gunhee to straighten himself out as she apologized before introducing her friend to the two males.

"This is Lee Dari. My best friend." Miyoung smiled, looking between the two males. "Dari that's-"

"Sharp Gun?" the taller female took in a breath, cheeks still slightly pink. "And M-Monsta X Shownu?"

Her eyes widened in shock.

"No ing way..."

Shownu gave a curt nod, his attention wandering back and forth between the two females but settling on the younger. Dari was smoothing out her clothes as she snuck glances between both him and Gunhee - the latter doing the same. Miyoung looked softly at the older male and she smiled, causing Hyunwoo's heart to leap in his chest.

"You two like Monsta X?" Gunhee added, trying to get rid of the obvious awkwardness. "Who's your bias?"

Dari looked up and chuckled out at the rapper's question.

"Go ahead, tell them Miyoung." She elbowed the younger girl," Tell them who your Monsta X bias is."

Miyoung slapped her friend lightly on the shoulder in embarrassment.

"Who is it?" Hyunwoo questioned, curious and secretly hoping it would be him.

"You..." Miyoung whispered.

"What was that? I couldn't hear you?" Gunhee prodded, priding himself on the beautiful laugh it dragged out of the older female.

"Yeah Miyoung, I didn't quite catch that." Dari added, eyes scrunching up as she smiled.

"I said Shownu gosh!" 

She quickly covered in shock when she realized she shouted it out. Hyunwoo couldn't resist the smile that spread across his face.

"Me?" he pointed to himself.

Miyoung nodded, cheeks burning red. She looked over at her friend and lodged an elbow in her side, trying to divert attention from herself.

"Why don't you tell them your bias Dari?"

The older female rolled her eyes," Why? It's not like he's here or anything."

"Yah I want to know," Shownu spoke, backing up the other female.

Gunhee watched as the three spoke, in a breath. Just don't say I.M or-

"Jooheon..." she reached up to scratch the back of her neck as her cheeks flushed a light pink. "Yeah... I like Jooheon."

Dari watched as Gunhee's shoulder's dropped slightly and eyes turned away at the news, causing her heart to ache a little.

"But he wasn't her favorite in No.Mercy," Miyoung quickly added, the older of the two women turning away from the rapper's gaze when his head snapped up to look at her.

"Who was it?" he blurted out accidentally, sounding a little too enthusiastic. Idiot - he scolded himself.

Dari hummed, eyes shifting to look at the younger of the two boys. A smile spread across her face and Gunhee almost stopped breathing.

"No one~," she laughed teasingly, smile getting impossibly wider.

Dari turned to her friend," So about that ice cream?"

"Oh yeah!" Miyoung chirped, pointing at the older of the two males. "Show- I mean Hyunwoo ran into me and he said he'd make up spilling his ice cream on me by treating me to some."

An almost impossibly large smile grew across her face, contrasting greatly with the 'what-the-hell-then-why-am-I-here' look on the older female's face.

"Wow... So I came all the way out here for nothing," she blurted out as she rolled her eyes.

"Not for nothing."

The three turned to look at Gunhee who almost immediately regretted blurting out such a comment.

"I-I mean, you got to meet famous people right?" he laughed nervously, trying to redeem himself.

He relaxed when the older girl hummed in agreement

"Oppa I want this kind!" Miyoung cooed as she winked not so subtly at her friend, pulling herself and the older male away from the other two.

"So..." Gunhee started, trying not to feel awkward as he stared at Dari through the side of his eyes.

He watched as she gestured towards the other pair," They're pretty cute together."

The rapper nodded in agreement before the female sighed in exasperation.

"I  just wish it didn't have to end badly."

Gunhee turned to face the female, his voice somewhat hopeful," Who said it has to end badly?"

Dari's face flushed slightly pink, his words insinuating more than just the status of the other two, but she continued speaking about the other pair. 

"I mean... he is an idol after all. And of a new group too. They don't really have the best chance."

"But if she really likes him and he really likes her than they will find a way."

Silence befell the pair for a few seconds, the two staring at each other before Dari burst out laughing.

"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry," she bumped Gunhee on the shoulder gently with her own, a gesture that sent his nerves slightly on edge. "I swear I'm not usually this pessimistic. I just want her to be happy y'know?"

Humming in agreement, the rapper smiled. "And what about you?"

Dari blinked in confusion and opened to speak but the man interrupted her.

"Is there something here that would make you happy?"

Dari's breath hitched in . You?

"Ice cream maybe?" Gunhee continued, suddenly too nervous to ask for a date like he originally intended. "Come on, let me treat you. I insist."

Her heart dropped in her chest and she laughed awkwardly. Of course he isn't going to ask you out dummy.

"Sure."

xXx

"It looks like Gunhee and your friend are getting along pretty well," Hyunwoo pointed out.

"Yeah," Miyoung paused to her chocolate ice cream," She really admires him- shh, they're coming over."

She placed her hand on Shownu's knee signalling him to stop talking, a gesture that shocked all words out of him anyway.

"Hi guys~" She chirped as the other two sat across from them. "What's up?"

She noted the slightly dejected look across her best friend's face as she sat down with a small mint chocolate chip shake.

"I just... bought her some ice cream." Gunhee mumbled as he scooted into the booth next to Dari.

The awkward silence between the pair was almost painful to Miyoung and Hyunwoo who shared a look between each. The latter shrugged at Miyoung's confused face, equally unsure about what could have happened in the past few minutes that could lead to this.

Atfer a few minutes of silence, Dari spoke up," I'm sorry, are we keeping you two? You were on your way out right?"

"Ah... We were." Shownu responded, scratching the back of his neck when he noticed the slight pout on the shorter female's face. "But I don't mind waiting a little while longer."

"Wow," the rapper scoffed. "You should feel honored Miyoung, he was just kicking me out of here and now he wants to stay."

The younger female blushed, turning away from both of the boy's gazes. 

"Hey wait, don't you have KCON soon?" Dari spoke up in an attempt to save her friend from her embarrassment.

She couldn't help but chuckle at the younger's reaction, however.

"Yeah, that's why he was going to leave me actually," Gunhee huffed. "He's getting on a plane or something soon."

Both girls eyes widened in shock, the older of the two choking on her shake. Gunhee's hand shot up to rest on her lower back, rubbing gently until she stopped coughing out.

"I'm okay," she rasped out as she tried to ignore the pleasant feel of the rapper's touch. 

Miyoung stood up from her spot at the table as she finished up her ice cream cone," You shouldn't let us hold you up."

Dari followed suit, grabbing her unfinished shake. The two men did the same, both upset that they had to get going.

"I'll meet you guys outside," Dari stated as she pulled on her leather jacket.

The other three nodded, heading towards the door while the fourth headed over to the counter.

"I wonder what she's doing," Gunhee mumbled as he watched her from outside the ice cream shop, both him and his hyung propped against the side of a car.

Shownu snorted at his friend's reaction, eyes not leaving the female who was currently waiting by the door of the shop for her friend.

"You need to ask her out. We both know you want to."

Rolling his eyes, the rapper nudged Shownu on the shoulder. "Look who's talking! You obviously like this girl, Hyunwoo hyung. Why don't you ask her out?"

The older man shrugged, stuffing his hands in his pockets. "Alright. I'll do it."

Gunhee watched in shock, his jaw slack as the other boy walked over to Miyoung. He continued watching as Shownu gracefully approached the female, saying a few words that had her rummaging through her pockets. She handed him a phone.

Oh , he's actually doing it?! The awkward hyung is doing it?!

It was impossible to miss the gigantic smile that was currently plastered across the older boy's face as he strode back to Gunhee.

"Easy," he smirked, turning back to face the female who sported a similar smile. "Now it's your turn."

Gunhee's eyes widened as the second female strode out of the shop. Both females approached the men, Miyoung grinning from ear to ear and Dari fidgeting slightly.

"Let me walk you to the motorcycle," Shownu offered, his hand stretched out towards Miyoung.

She shot Dari a glance as she giggled, taking the boy's hand and walking off with him. Dari and Gunhee watched as the two walked away, talking with each other.

"S-So..." Gunhee whispered, eyes shifting to Dari.

Do it Gunhee. Just ask her.

The female inhaled sharply, nerves settling deep in her stomach. Gunhee continued watching the female, trying desperately to get up the nerve to ask her for a date or at least for her number.

God you're Sharp Gun for goodness sake! Just do it.

"It was nice meeting you, Gunhee." Dari took a step forward and smiled up at him, her breath leaving small white puffs in the cold night air.

He responded with a small yeah before she continued.

"I know this is probably stupid of me to say but...," Dari let out a nervous laugh before continuing. "I'd really like to see you again, even if it's just as friends."

Her cheeks were tinted pink as she stared into his eyes, her hand shooting out in front of her. Gunhee looked at her hand as she offered him a napkin, the small etching of blue ink noticeable in one of the corners. 

"Though I'd like it if it was more than friends." She mumbled, looking down from his face for the first time.

Gunhee stepped forward, his warm hands closing firmly around hers. She looked up to see his face directly in front of hers.

"I'd really like that too," he whispered, tugging the napkin from Dari's hand.

Her breath hitched in and she smiled. Gunhee leaned in, his hand trailing up to rest softly on her waist as he leaned in to wrap his arms around her in a gentle hug. 

xXx

"Well, aren't you happy you took me out to get ice cream unnie?" Miyoung snorted as the older female settled on the motorcycle.

"Oh and, uh... Dari?" the younger female whispered as she casually glanced towards the two men who were settling into a car. "You aren't supposed to eat ice cream."

"Yeah... I know." Dari groaned, letting her head drop down in defeat," But I couldn't really say no to him..."

xXx

"You know what's funny?" Gunhee laughed lightly to himself before continuing," if Jooheon were here tonight he probably would have been the one to get her number."

Hyunwoo smiled, nudging the younger male as he put the keys into the ignition," I guess you're happy he ditched you then huh?"

The rapper hummed in agreement as he typed out a group message to the other members of Monsta X.

Hyunwoo hyung met a girl ;)
