#np 2NE1's Missing You

[2015]

I carefully close the door to Red Velvet’s waiting room and as soon as I can hear the click sound from it, a sigh of relief escapes from my lips. Thank God, I’m safe.

“Seunghoon Hyung.”

That voice almost gave me a heart attack but after I swiftly turn to my back, I can only hold my chest in relief when I saw that familiar face staring suspiciously at me.

“You shocked me! Let’s go.” I whisper hard and pull Minho away from the waiting room.

“What were you doing in there?” He asks with his arms wrapped around my shoulders. I also did the same as the two of us walk along the hallway. But I don’t know what to answer. And as I stare at our feet, I try to think of a valid reason. It is worth trying to hide things from Minho anymore? “Why’re you in Red Velvet’s waiting room, Hyung?” Again, he whispers and pulls me closer to him.

“Can you keep a secret?”

“Of course!”

I hush him and pull Minho to an empty corner.

“You’re friends with one of the members?” He asks while pulling out his smartphone. “Red Velvet’s members.” He mumbles while tapping things on it.

“What are you doing?” I try to peer to his phone and yeap, this boy’s searching for the group in the internet. I guess there’s nothing wrong in telling Minho about Wendy. I told him nothing but the part where we’re old friends since before debut.

“Ahh… This girl… I saw her! Wendy… Ouh… She’s from Canada! She’s with us before, right Hyung? How’d you know her?” He raises his brows while grinning mischievously at me that I can’t help but to smack his head.

“What about you? And this girl?” I ask, pointing out to the picture of a girl with her hair in a gold dye end. “Your face changed when you talked to her.”

“Changed?! No way!” He laughs awkwardly and closes his phone.

“Your secret’s safe if you keep mine. Deal?” I hold out my hand, wanting to make a proper agreement.

“What secret? Me and Seulgi? Aye, Hyung!”

“Okay, I’ll tell the President about it.” I joke and withdraw my hand but Minho quickly catches it. This boy is so easy…

“Deal.”

I don't like calculative love of adults

I'm just a little tired, I'm alright,

Actually no, I'm...

I don’t know why, I don’t have the guts to see her even though I really want to. Maybe it’s because I don’t know what to say if we do, and I’m afraid this feeling inside me would just burst out if I saw her eyes. Am I a coward?

The last time we texted each other was quite long ago and it’s already nearing to the end of summer. Truthfully, I miss her since, more than I did for these five years. I guess it’s true of what people say; you’ll miss that person more even if you just met her yesterday. I stare blankly at the ceiling as 2NE1 Nuna's song rings to my ears from the speakers nearby.

“What’s with you, Seunghoon Hyung? You’re sick since weekend.”
