Moonlight Melody (The Next Day)

Wendy put her hair in a ponytail and wore her apron. She checked her phone to see multiple messages.

BirthRight Bestiessss

B.I: LANDED SAFELY IN CHINA

Joythatkills: Miss You Wen! Jin keeps making dad jokes and I’m planning to kill him.

MamaBear: Hey! I told them so Jungkook would stop crying over Wen not coming with us.

TheGraetJK: BRO! YOU PROMISED WE WOULDN'T TALK ABOUT THAT!

Jendukie: I’m forced to live with idiots. WEN SAVE ME!!

SeulBear: I’m going to jump off a cliff. Do the boys only start behaving weird when Wendy isn’t with us?

TaeAlien: Yes. Because then we won’t get smacked in the head. ;)

Joythatkills: Trust me. SHe won’t be the only smacking you today. There are still 3 more females here who are planning THE MURDER OF YOU FOUR.

MotherWenresa: Chill I’m fine. You know me, I kicked their asses. Anyways, You guys will kidnap Mark tonight through my direction. Aunt Tiff is calling. I love you guys!! Kisses to everyone

MotherWenresa: *actually yelling

Seen By All.

“WENDYYYYYY!!!” Tiffany yelled

Wendy quickly finished tying her apron and ran downstairs. “Sorry I was texting the flower cuties.” She said kissing her aunt

The flower cuties was a name that was given by her aunt to the rest of the gang. When they were little they did a play where all 8 of them played flowers. And since then it was their personal nightmare.

She looked at Wendy with surprise.“Oh no way! How are they? I wish they could’ve come. Why didn’t you bring your baby brother?” she asked

Wendy tried to quickly think of something. “Um they are all in the same business and Jungkook had some school work.” She quickly blurted out

Tiffany looked at her with confusion. “School work isn’t he only 4 years youngers than you? SO wouldn’t he be like 20 years old?” She questioned

. Great Going Seungwan

Her eyes widened “Umm college work Tiff.” she said

Thankfully she believed it and didn’t ask anymore questions. Wendy went behind the counter and started baking as per her aunt’s instructions.

 A few hours later, she started wiping down tables when she heard the door chime. “Hello! Welcome to Moonlight Melody’s!” She tried saying cheerfully but couldn’t. She’s so darn exhausted.

She heard a laugh and looked up pouting. “Hey dancing partner!” It was the guy from the night of the deal.

She smiled. “Oh hey. Hoseok right?” she asked

He laughed again. Wow. “yep. Seungwan?” He asked her.

She nodded. “So what brought you here today?” She asks

He looked around. “Well I came here wanting to get a coffee, but I didn’t expect a reunion.” he said

He smiles a lot. But there’s so much negativity in my life, maybe I need those smiles.

She got out of her daze when he snapped at her and went behind the counter to start making him something. “So is this your full time job.” Hoseok plays it cool

“J-Hope try to maintain eye contact. Make sure she knows you’re looking at her and more physical contactttt.” Irene’s voice perks up in his ear.

Right then Sunjage disagreed. “Absolutely not, she will kill our boy!” He exclaims

Hoseok stays quiet, not trying to be too obvious. Seungwan on the other hand calmly made the coffee. She screws on the cap and hands it to him. The moment their hands touch a spark arises , making both of them let go of the drink, resulting in it falling.

 Thankfully Seungwan’s fast reflexes let her catch the drink before it fell. “I’m so sorry. I didn’t mean to make it fall. Something just happened.” She apologized as she bowed repeatedly

Hoseok puts his hands on her arms to make her stop bowing. “No no it’s fine. I let it go as well.” He says

Seungwan for some reason stays in that position. With him. As if she was supposed to be in that position. “Seungwan can yo-Oh?” Tiffany walked in trying to ask her something

Hoseok immediately let’s go her arms and starts bowing out of respect. “Hello. I’m Jung Hoseok. Wendy’s--” He tried saying ‘friend’ before being cut off

“BOYFRIEND?” Tiffany exclaims in happiness

Seungwan and Hoseok look at each other terrified and then at her. “HUH?!” They both say at the same time. 

A parade of laughter was heard through Hoseok’s earpiece. “Oh my god. This was easier than expected.” Jisoo laughed

Hoseok and Seungwan tried disagreeing with Tiffany’s crazy idea, but she was having none of it. In a matter of seconds Seungwan’s uniform was off and she was pushed out the door alongside Hoseok. 

The two shyly walked beside each other. “So you didn’t tell me before. Is that where you regularly work?” He breaks the silence 

Wendy contemplates whether she should tell him that she’s just here on vacation. “Um I don’t, I live in Seoul. I came here to check up on my aunt. Decided I should help her while I am here.” She says

Hoseok nods. “Do you have any siblings?” he tries to get more information from her

Seungwan smiles recalling her brother and family-like friends. “One younger brother. He didn’t come because of his work before you ask me.” She says

The afternoon goes along smoothly. The two talk about everything. But Seungwan manages to only tell certain parts of her life and cover up others. 

Soon evening falls and she realizes the time is 8:37pm which means it was 7:37pm in China. She has to lead the team in the kidnapping. Right then her phone pinged.

Joythatkills: WENDY CHOI YOU !! 

MotherWenresa: Yes Yes I know. I’m heading home. Don’t worry, I’ve got everything set back home.

B.I: ALRIGHT FINE! BUT YOU BETTER COME FAST!!

Seungwan looked up from her phone at Hoseok with worried eyes. “Um I need to go. Bye Hoseok. It was nice knowing you fake boyfriend.” She winked and ran

Hoseok being the adamant gentleman he is, ran after her. Almost all of his team members disconnected the call. “Seungwan wait.” He yelled

Right at a busy intersection Seungwan tried crossing the road but suddenly a car came racing towards. Not noticing she ran onto the road. Suddenly Seungwan felt someone grab her hand and pull her back. In the next few seconds, everything went fast. She felt herself twirl into his arms and felt his arm circle around her as her face touched his chest.

They stayed like that a few minutes before Hoseok broke his silence. “Um Seungwan? Don’t you need to go?” He asked 

Seungwan tapped her cheeks to make herself feel normal. “Um yeah. See you.” she says

Hoseok scratches his head trying to contemplate whether he should be with her or let her go. But she was too far gone for him to catch up with her. 

Seungwan reached the cafè and went straight to her room. She opened her webcam and focused on getting the kidnap done, forgetting all about the situation. One forgetting, one trying to forget.

Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.
