It's You

Finding the Past Me

"Jihoon?" I said with a rather surprised tone and expression.

He was merely standing there awkwardly, uncomfortably. He stood perfectly still without looking in my eyes. One hand was balled tightly in a fist, clutching the end of his shirt, while his other hand hid behind his back.

Upon hearing my voice, his head darted upwards, and we made eye contact. He looked back down again, and then up.

"Are you okay?" he repeated. His face seemed lifeless, but his warm tone and nervous fist toldme otherwise. Before I could answer, he quickly added, "I heard you fell asleep during the shoot, so I thought you must've been exhausted."

For some reason, I couldn't formulate an answer. I knew for certain that he wasn't the mystery man from earlier. The atmosphere was different. His tone was different. At first, I was wary of him in the beginning for some reason, and I still was, but he didn't strike any fear in me. As uncomfortable as I was with him -which I still didn't know why- I didn't dislike him. It was just awkward.

"Soooooooo...are you okay?" he repeated.

I snapped out of my thoughts and flashed a reassuring smile, "Yeah, I'm okay now that I've rested. Thanks for worrying about me."

Again, silence. Why were we so awkward? I met the other members under the same conditions and we weren't this awkward.

"Here," Jihoon's voice once again interrupted my thoughts. I looked at him in the eyes again and saw no change. As my eyes traveled downwards, the hand he hid behind his back was outstretched towards me. In it, was a bottle of water. "I thought you might be tired or dehydrated, so.....here."

Slowly, I took the water out of his hand. I couldn't help but let out a smile at his kind gesture. "Thank you, I really appreciate it!" I took a sip and looked back at him, only to see him sporting a gentle smile. That only made my smile grow larger.

"Jihoon!" a voice called. "We need you!"

"That's my cue," Jihoon said. "Bye and don't push yourself too hard." With a smile, he left. With a smile, I watched him leave.

 

I was just about to head out and find Kyu Min when something on the makeup table caught my eye. A new, unopened pack of Carmelites. I smiled and opened the package, popping one in my mouth.

Seungcheol is so sweet.
