Chapter 26

Han Jisung

A beam of light woke me up from my deep peaceful slumber. I slowly opened my eyes. A familiar ceiling welcomed me.

That's when last night's memories came into my mind. I slowly turned my head to my left and I saw nothing. Where is he?

"Goodmorning, baby!" As if on cue, my door opened and there revealed Minho with a tray in his hands. He greeted me with a smile on his face.

"Goodmorning, hyung..." I sat up lazily while rubbing my eyes.

"Did you sleep well?" I nodded with a smile.

"What is that?" I curiously asked, about the tray in his hands.

"Breakfast in bed." He softly said before putting the tray in front of me. He sat beside me.

"I cooked that just for you." He said before giving me a peck on the cheeks. I'm so overwhelmed with everything in the tray.

"Wow! Thank you so much!" I exclaimed before hugging him tightly.

"Chill, Jisung! It's just pancakes!" He giggled but hugged me back too.

"No one has ever done this to me. No one ever gave me something that takes so much effort." I can feel my eyes getting teary.

"I'm happy to spoil you, Jisung." He rubbed my back. I pulled back.

"And I love being spoiled by you." I giggled.

"Now, eat. The pancakes are getting cold."

Lee Minho

"So, that's really... Your first time?" I cautiously asked him, not wanting him to be uncomfortable. He sighed before nodding.

"What? You thought I gave my first to that asshole?" I nodded before looking at my hands.

"Why would I give myself to him? He doesn't deserve me. Maybe that's one of the reasons why he became violent." He said. I hugged him, burying my head in his neck.

"I love you..." I whispered.

"I love you too..." He said before hugging me back.

"Hyung~! Cheesecake..." He felt him tug the sleeve of the hoodie he gave me.

"Again? We just ate one." He looked at me with pleading eyes. I giggled before pinching his cheeks.

"My baby is so cute~!"

"Cheesecake?" He asked. I giggled again before nodding. He smiled so widely after seeing what I did.

He muttered a small 'yes' before pulling me. We went inside a cafe near JYP's building.

"Are you going to eat it here?" I wrapped my arm around his shoulder while waiting for our turn in the line. I looked at him and I saw him on his phone.

"Sungie~!" I called his name to catch his attention. He looked at me with confusion in his eyes.

"Hmm? Why?" He looked to be disturbed by something.

"I'm asking you. Why aren't you listening to me?" He smiles apologetically and slips under my arm.

"Hyung, our manager messaged me. I need to get back first at the building."

"Oh, okay. I'll just buy you your cheesecake then I'll follow you there." I smiled at him.

"I love you, hyung." It's just a simple 'I love you' but why does it feel like something is off?

"I love you too, baby." He left in a rush after kissing me on the cheeks.

I sighed when he ran out of the store. What could that be about?

Why do I have a bad feeling about this?

———

I breathed out after I took the last step of the stairs. The elevator was out of order so I just went up using the stairs. It's good to have exercise sometimes, you know.

Besides, I'm on a rush too. I need to give the cheesecake to my baby before he gets whiny at me because I didn't give his cheesecake on time.

I entered our practice room in a blast. My eyes automatically looked for Jisung as he should be here.

"Hello!" Felix sprang out beside me, shocking me.

"Geez, you almost gave me a heart attack!" I exclaimed as I put my hand over my chest.

"Sorry!" He holds out a peace sign. He walked to the couch that's on the side. I looked around and I realized that he's the only one inside, besides me.

"You're the only one here? Where are the others? Where's Jisung?" I placed the cake box I'm holding on the small table placed beside the couch Felix was sitting on.

"I'm the first one to arrive. Manager hyung hasn't arrived yet too." He shrugged before taking a bite on an apple I didn't even notice, he was holding.

"Jisung?" I slipped off from my coat, placing it to the small table too.

"I didn't saw him when I entered inside." My brows furrowed with what he said.

"What? Is he supposed to be here? I thought you're with him?" He asked when he noticed me staring at him with confusion.

"Yeah, I'm with him. But he ran off, saying the manager messaged him to get here first when were buying his cheesecake."

"To get here first?" Felix looked at me with suspicious eyes.

"Yeah, but you said hyung hasn't arrived yet. That's suspicious..." I can help but worry.

"Ey, don't worry too much. Maybe they left before I even arrived here." He suggested. There is a possibility.

"I'll just call him to be sure." I sighed before shoving my hand to my pocket. I pulled my phone out. I dialed his number.

First ring. No answer.

Second ring. No answer.

Third ring. Still, no answer.

Fourth ring. The call ended and he still hasn't answered.

"He's not answering." 

"Maybe, he's just busy talking to them. Just calm down for a minute. He's gonna be fine." He smiled at me before biting on his apple again.

"I guess..." I sighed before sitting beside him. I pulled my phone out, scrolling through the numerous fan arts that are tagged to our official Instagram account.

We both waited for others and our manager. And I still waited for Jisung.

"Hey!"

"Woojin hyung! Chan hyung!"

The couple smiled at Felix before dropping their bags on where our bags were placed. They proceed on sitting on the ground, doing their sweet little things.

"--so funny! I hope we could see them again!"

"Jeonginnie! Hyunjin hyung! Seungmin, where's my sausage?" 

Jeongin and Hyunjin walked close to the large mirrors and sat there, continuing their conversation. Seungmin gave Felix his sausage.

"Good morning!" We all stand and bowed when manager hyung entered inside with our choreographer and Changbin.

"Get ready, we're starting in five minutes." Manager hyung instructed us. The others got ready while I tried talking to manager hyung.

"Hyung, can I ask a question?" He looked at me with an anticipating expression.

"Sure. What is it?" 

"Did you messaged Jisung? He hasn't come back yet."

"They gave him a gig. He'll be back this afternoon." 

"Ahh, okay. Thank you, hyung!" I got ready. We proceed on stretching as how we are trained.

After the stretching, we practiced My Pace and Awkward Silence for two times each. They gave us a ten-minute break.

I plopped my body down the couch. I reached for my phone that's on the table beside Jisung's cheesecake that's not opened yet, until now.

I opened the Instagram app on my phone. I proceed on looking at the fan arts that are tagged on our official account.

A post caught my eye.

'Han Jisung caught with a trainee of JYP. Who is he?'

The post was a picture of Jisung with a guy. The guy looks so familiar. They're in a restaurant.

Are they dating?! Gig?! Is this a freaking gig?!

"Hyung, can we eat this cheesecake?" I sighed before nodding.

"Yeah."

There's no point in waiting for him.

He looks busy with other stuff.
