(Y/N)'s POV)
(Music)
I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever
And ended so soon
.
.
.
It was late in September-
"Hey."
I flinched at Fuma gently tapping my forearm while I was about to put a clear mascara on his eyelashes to add more length to them.
"Are you alright?"
"Huh?"
I got confused because I wasn't aware that my hand had been frozen in the air for awhile now due to the sad song I was listening to in my ear-pods.
"You looked dead inside."
I forced a smile and pretended nothing's wrong as if it's gonna convince him at all. My ever observant best friend.
"I was just carried away by the song that was randomly recommended to my playlist. It was old but gold. Cry by Mandy Moore. I read it was used in a very good movie back then."
"I see."
He smirked and stared at my soul through my eyes.
"A wise man said that if a random sad song resonates to you it means you feel a deeper connection to the story being told."
I choked on my reply. I really can't hide anything from this guy but I still tried. Laughing always diverted his attention and changing the topic helps me get back on my feet.
"Who said that?"
I giggled.
"Who else but me?"
I snorted and he smiled widely.
"You know what I actually made a lunch that was too much for me to consume. If you want to taste the new menu, I'd gladly give it to you."
I carefully put mascara over his left eye hoping he'll let it go.
"Why?"
He frowned.
"What do you mean why?"
"Why offer it to me when we both know you made it for K hyung?"
My finger stopped mid-air before the final retouch I was about to do on his eyebrow reached it.
"H-he had no choice but to decline."
My mind worked in computer-speed to find a reason why without making my boyfriend look bad in the eyes of his co-member because I haven't even offered it to him in the first place.
"The tv station staffs have plans for the group-"
"I'm also part of the group?"
He quickly countered my words and strike while it's hot.
"There's no use lying from me since I know you inside out ever since you came in Seoul three years ago to work for Bighit trainees and now as my personal makeup artist."
"I'm not lying-"
"(Y/N), how many times do we have to go through this? I'm one year older than you and have more experience with different people so don't hesitate to tell me what's really going on between you two."
I looked around to check if other members or staffs heard him even though he spoke inaudibly.
Luckily everyone is in chaos to keep up with the schedule because some members woke up late and the only available schedule for a specific interview is around five in the morning.
I was thinking it's not a good idea to get him distracted for something so trivial and partly his fault because it would only make him feel bad throughout the day.
However, after catching a glimpse of K entering the dressing room still sleepy, I knew my real emotions just got exposed to him.
More like I couldn't stop following K's movements till he slumped over the chair to get his makeup done as swiftly as possible.
Our eyes briefly met but he had to close his eyelids as per request by one of the staffs spreading wet foundation.
"Is he avoiding you?"
Fuma immediately asked and I was caught off guard.
"I-I don't think so... he's just tired."
I stammered because I had a clear idea why my boyfriend for around six months now had instantly become cold and yet the embarrassment I feel keeps my mouth shut about it.
"(Y/N), we're talking about the most transparent human being in the world-at least in my knowledge. He sticks on you like a bee to a flower ever since he laid his eyes on you and now he's back after going out of the country for a fan-meet he suddenly looks like he doesn't know you?"
I was speechless because I have the same sentiment.
"It-it was my fault and I think he just needs some time to move on from it."
"Oh really?"
He raised a brow and looked at K's opposite corner reflection on the L-shaped mirror in front of him.
"I can name a lot of things he does that could make you mad everyday though? What on earth is going on?"
"I-I..."
I can feel all my blood rising into my head and it's making me dizzy.
"I'll tell you later after we get back to the agency."
"Oh no you're not gonna give me that bs cliffhanger."
He warned with a glare. I know he's just kidding but it got me cornered.
"I... kissed him."
I’m sorry about the earlier post. I was quite sleepy I didn’t realize what I did. Hope you’ll enjoy reading.
