Won't expect anything

It's just... "I like you."

ASK

“I am very lucky with the weather.”

And every time I say this, it always rains even though the weather was clear at first. Maybe it's raining because the world wants us to be closer to someone.

“I'm sorry. We were loud because there were 11 of us.”

The maknae's soft voice spoke to the camera that was following us 24 hours a day. I guess during the broadcast, fans would have commented that even if there were three of them, it would seem like there were a hundred of them. which I agree with We have so much energy left that we can shoot a photo book for 33 hours after shooting a music video. And was able to appear in variety shows even though I had only slept for 45 minutes.

I smiled at the picture of the maknae line making out with each other, with the little sister with great charisma in the middle. Near there, kid. 99 Line was playing Yellow Popcorn, which was born from the most random idea of ​​the only foreigner of the group. It's funny that we all followed along and it ended up being liked by the fans. too

We are like this just enjoying every day to the fullest with everything we can... IOI is always like that.

“Sejeong unnie”

Someone's sweet, sweet voice sounded from behind. It wouldn't be hard to guess, because none of the girls who were famous for their power could have such a kind tone.

"Oh, you're even more beautiful," I complimented her.

“Unnie has been saying this since the reunion. Until we're close to leaving the stage."

“Well, it's our Chaeyeon. It gets more beautiful every minute.”

“You really look like my uncle's boyfriend.”

If I were a refreshing raindrop, Jung Chaeyeon would be the rainbow after the rain. She is beautiful without explanation. It's just the kind of beauty where you compliment that the rainbow is beautiful and want to take a photo of it. Chaeyeon sighs heavily at me, tired of her strange behavior for her age. Even though I keep complimenting her on being beautiful, it would be better if there was someone else. Compliment that she dances well. or good at singing Because what Chaeyeon worked hard for wasn't a cute face that people admired.

But that's the thing..the first thing we usually look at is the face. I didn't want anyone to know that she was always crying when she was complaining about her weight. I didn't want anyone to know that she was crying when she was smiling. I don't want anyone to see how mischievous I am when I feel like I'm superior to everyone else. I don't want anyone to see when I'm kind and considerate of the children's mischievous matters.

And I'll warn you that it would be nice if you only knew her by her face. I don't want anyone to be as irresistible as I am by the storm of your cuteness. I have to be careful that my heart It will come out and say..I like you.

“I really don't want to be where you guys are together.”

Kim Doyeon complained after she was probably standing there to avoid Yeonjung, who was seeking revenge after being disturbed by a member of the maknae line. Of course, Somi was standing there doing a crazy dance with Yoojung. Near the exit door

"Why"

“I don't like the way you guys look at me. It makes me feel like I'm extra.”

Doyeon was a straight-talking child, but that immediately made the atmosphere seem different from the first episode. The little boy didn't pay much attention to his words because after that, he walked over and teased Sohye, who was practicing moves with Phi Chong. Ana is dead-eyed.

“Your ears are red,” Chaeyeon said, causing me to immediately cover my ears with my hands. Damn, this hairstyle doesn't make any sense to me. I guess I'll have to let my hair down every time I have work with IOI.

“Ah..the weather is cold.” I said, trying to defend myself. With a hoarse voice and stuttering Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Chaeyeon smiling playfully before picking up a large sweater from Manager Unnie to cover her up.

“You shouldn't catch a cold when you sing, right?” That's all she said before walking over to play with Yoojung, who was having fun covering Bangtan sunbaenim's song. I don't like the look in Chong Ah's unnie's eyes. Teasing me and giving a sig to Jie Zhuang who seemed to know everything.

sejeong

- Are you going to the fansign event tomorrow?

J_chaeyeon

- I have an overseas schedule.

- I'll see you at Music Bank >//<

Ah... I sent you a message even though I had no business doing it and asked about things that I probably already knew. I just wanted to say that even though yesterday we were together until late, today when we separated After only one day apart, I suddenly miss you because of the nonsense message that Chaeyeon responded to a few seconds later. If Somi or Doyeon saw this, they'd probably say that it's much easier to just tell them I miss them, like those guys like to send in the group chat every day.

sejeong

-Are you okay?

J_chaeyeon

- I'm tired, but I'll probably sleep while I'm on the plane.

- I'm asking like we haven't seen each other in months.

sejeong

- It's like that.

- Ah..I miss you so much.

J_chaeyeon

- Jeon Somi secretly stole Sejeong unnie's phone to play with? Heke.

Really awesome. I can just imagine her giggling like the winner of the game we just played last night with the kids during rehearsal. I'd like to talk to her a little longer. But now we have to meet the fans. The group chat was still noisy as the kids were showing off their fansigns to someone who was at the airport alone. Chaeyeon sent back a flustered photo.

And Yeonjung offered for us to take a group photo together with smiling faces and return it to her if it didn't sound right. It sounded like Young unnie was quietly complaining that we were a mess even in the chat...

Today we cried a lot because of the big trophy from a music show and celebrated until late even though tomorrow we were scheduled to go all the way to Jeju. We came back to IOI's dorm except for Yeonjung. The children had fallen asleep when they arrived, and none of them had taken a shower because of sleepiness and fatigue. I was the same, but maybe because I had a lot of things to think about in my head, I woke up earlier than everyone else, even though my eyes weren't completely open. I would not be able to close my eyes and sleep any longer.

I moved myself to the sofa in the middle of the house for a change of scenery. I would have taken a little nap if the door to the other room hadn't swung open and someone's figure was approaching. Pretending to cover up and fall back asleep because he was too lazy to answer questions if those people were curious kids like Yoo Jung and Do Yeon, but the faint, heart-rending scent that reached his nose was not the case.

A heavy feeling crashing down on my body made it difficult for me to breathe. Warmth spread throughout his entire body as someone's body pressed into the blankets.

The sofa wasn't wide enough to fit two people, now we were so close it was like we were one body. It's okay to say it's uncomfortable, but right now it's more embarrassing than the heart beating loudly like it's about to come out and run around. As the other person slowly moved to close the gap, my arm was pulled into a pillow by the overbearing person. She pulled the blanket up to my neck but also pulled my arms to rest on my stomach like a loose hug.

“Chaeyeon-ah..”

“Hmmm..”

The sleepy person's voice was so cute that I didn't dare say anything else. Of course, the sleepiness was thrown away the moment my brain told me it was her. I lay there stiffly, letting her sleep comfortably and like I was getting used to the fact that my heart was about to return to normal if she didn't turn over and lie down with my nose on my chin like this.

“Sejeong unnie..”

“Huh..”

"Sleep. Don't be shy."

I want to scream until the house explodes. But I could only hold it in my heart and take a long breath in and out until the person in my arms laughed softly.

“I think I need to take a shower. Before the others wake up.”

I got up and walked into the bedroom where my roommate was still unconscious. Somi nearly fell off the bed while Sohye was still lying there with her eyes open and Kyulkyung barely able to sleep. She didn't cover her because she slept like a child and had to cover her many times. This excuse was not taken seriously because Chaeyeon probably knew this very well.

“How can you fall asleep so easily?”

I walked out to go take a shower like I said but ended up seeing her sleeping hugging a cushion on the sofa. Really asleep even though just now you were still teasing me. I walked over and covered her with a blanket, careful that the creature wouldn't wake up and make me feel embarrassed again.

Her face was as beautiful as the popular model, with her eyes still closed, a small smile at the corner of her mouth as if she was happy, causing me to accidentally reach out and smooth her hair that was hiding her bright pink cheeks. Does Chaeyeon know that when she sleeps, she's the cutest? Or maybe you know because I think I've been a little clearer lately.

I swear that all this time I tried not to think about you, even the littlest things, but it was just me walking across the street, how could I still miss you? It's unavoidable like it's a daily routine. I can't do it like when I always try to let my long hair cover my ears because of the cold weather, but she likes to play the stubborn game of staring when I'm with her.

I like competition. In the games we play every day, I'm almost always the winner, but when it comes to yours, there's no win or lose. Because even though I'm close to winning I'm going to give up anyway.

Sejeong

- The song we sang together on the show has been released.

Because of the very busy schedules of the two of us As a result, we hardly saw each other. Chaeyeon came to the hair salon where we often met. But because she is very busy So quickly left before I got there. I texted her instead of calling because I don't have much time to talk to anyone right now and she probably doesn't either.

We were silent all day long. Even though she's never a normal person, Chaeyeon always answers whenever she has time to spare. But today that wasn't the case. The kids in the group chat started getting irritated with Chaeyeon unnie. While at first they were annoyed that Yeonjung didn't answer Sohye's calls, Na Young unnie said they were busy with their schedules, but Do Yeon said Chaeyeon unnie was unusual.

...which I agree with...

Today we have an appointment at the IOI dormitory. But Yoojung said that Chaeyeon called her to reject it because of a schedule that was interfering with her schedule, which made me smile a little before turning to stop Mina, who was arguing with Doyeon over fried chicken.

“What is wrong with Chaeyeon unnie?” Kyulkyung opened up again after I started to understand her a bit.

“There must be some stress,” Chung Ah unnie said with Yoo Jung sitting next to him shaking his head in protest.

“Chaeyeon unnie has never been like this,” young Choi Yoo Jung said before scooping a big bite of tteokbokki into her mouth.

“Sejeong unnie, do you know?” Somi asked. The maknae probably thought I would be the first to know because everyone always chooses to talk to me and Chung Ah unnie first when they talk. There are sorrows But I could only refuse with a slight shake of my head.

Rrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

‘CHAEYEON’

The phone vibrates and shows the name of the owner on the other end of the line. I got up and went outside to talk because inside, Doyeon's voice alone was too loud to have a normal conversation.

"How is it going"

(It's so quiet. Did you come outside to talk?)

I swear I was trying to hold back my smile when I heard a clear voice on the other end of the phone.

“I want to hear the voice clearly.”

(I'm really sorry. Work is very busy)

“She already apologized.”

She really apologized. Set it three times in the group chat.

(I think you're waiting to see me)

“I want to meet everyone.”

(Sejeong..)

“But I want to see you the most.”

(I don't see anything like this in front of me.)

"I'm afraid you'll find out."

(What do you know?)

(Uncle Sejeong..?)

Suddenly, in my head I thought about the story I accidentally said in the group chat: If I secretly like someone, would I tell them or keep it safe? The only answer that came up was Somi's. If it were me..I would say I like you, it's a lot easier than keeping it.

“I like you.”

Chaeyeon was silent as she seemed to call out to me again. She hadn't been quiet for long, but it was as if it had been too long for her feelings. I'd like to call you the same if it weren't for the fact that all my courage had been used up because of that one sentence.

(I've listened to the song. But I like it when we sing together more.)

She stubbornly cut off the call as if nothing had happened. I didn't expect anything from the beginning, but to say that I didn't feel sorry wouldn't mean I was afraid that later we wouldn't talk like we used to. I wouldn't dare face her again from now on. We're probably just people who used to be close and have gone back to being people who walked past each other on music shows and accidentally laughed together on variety shows.

J_chaeyeon

- Shall we go see a movie tomorrow?

The pedestal...really!! Hello to all IOI fanfics. And hello to Grandma Sechae, woohoo!

I've been secretly peeping for a long time. I couldn't resist and had to dress up. It's a short fic purely for self-fulfillment.

P.S. This kissing moment is very touching. How cool is that? Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa >/////<

Feel free to criticize, no matter what, with love and boating. Enjoy reading, CU ♥
