It's not rare for you to get along with male friends. Most see you as charismatic and happy while others envy you. It's not your fault you're so open with everyone.

Wonwoo has been your closest friend since high school. You did everything together. You went to the movies, bought each other snacks, slept over at each other's houses, and even got a job at the same place. Though he's an idol and you just assist other choreographers. Wonwoo was the one to teach you to dance and you couldn't be more grateful.

The only thing you two had never focused on was dating. You have seen other girls talking to Wonwoo though. It always seems like he's not interested.

"Oh crap", you whispered as you dropped some papers.

You picked up each paper and placed them on the table where Wonwoo's group can get them. This week you had the chance to assist during Seventeen's choreography. You had some ideas and shared them with Hoshi. Both of you showed the steps until everyone memorized it. You stepped aside and watched them dance. You were quite impressed and proud.

"That was great!", you smiled, clapping for them.

You went over towards your bag and sat down, grabbing a drink of water. Everyone else took a break too. Wonwoo pranced his way towards you and sat down, looking through your bag.

"Hey, didn't you bring your own snacks?", you asked.

"They ate them. Come on, let me have some", he pleaded, pouting his lips.

"Fine", you rolled your eyes and handed your chips over to him.

He sighed in relief and laid down as he ate the chips. You chuckled and shook your head at his childishness.

You were talking to Wonwoo about a new book that came out and how badly you wanted to buy it. As you talked, a guy walked over and kneeled down in front of you, smiling cheekily.

"Hi, are you (y/n)?", he asked.

"Yes? Who's asking?", you asked.

"Oh, I'm Sungyu, one of the choreographers. I heard a lot about you. Can I sit?", he asked, pointing to the spot in front of you.

"Um sure", you smiled.

Wonwoo sat up and carefully examined the guy. He looked familiar but couldn't put a name on it.

"So how are you doing so far? I know you're still new", he said.

"I'm doing alright. Everyone is nice to me so it's great", you smiled.

"Awesome. You close to anyone?", he asked.

"I'm her best friend", Wonwoo said, raising his hand a bit.

"Ah...anyways a few of the choreographers from different companies are going out for a drink. Wanna come?", he asked.

"She doesn't drink", Wonwoo said.

"One drink wouldn't hurt. Right, (y/n)? I mean, we're also doing karaoke so it'll be nice to get to know each other and become friends", Sungyu smiled.

"She has friends", Wonwoo glared at the guy.

"Um, I actually have plans with Wonwoo but maybe some other time?", you asked.

"Tomorrow? It's your day off right?", he asked.

"How do you know?", you asked.

"Just a guess. So? What do you think?", he asked, smiling.

You were about to answer but someone beat you to it.

"She'll pass", Wonwoo said.

"Wonwoo", you whispered, nudging him.

"Okay? Never mind", Sungyu chuckled sadly and walked away.

When he was out of sight, you punched Wonwoo on the arm.

"Ow! What the hell??", he yelped in pain, holding the part where you hit.

"He was asking me out. Why did you have to say that?", you asked.

"Because he's no good for you. I didn't get a good vibe from him", he said.

"You said that about the other three guys who asked me out. What's going on with you? Do you want me to die alone??", you asked.

"You won't die alone. You'll die with me", he smiled proudly as he placed both hands under his chin, wiggling his fingers.

"But you're my best friend", you said, looking through your phone.

His smile slowly faltered and looked away, scratching his head.

"I'm gonna go hang out with the guys for a bit", Wonwoo said as he stood up.

"Wait but I thought we were gonna hang out", you said, turning back.

"Uh next time. I promise", he smiled weakly before going with Seungcheol and Dino.

You raised an eyebrow. You heard chuckling coming from your right.

"Are you dense?", Vernon asked, still laughing as he walked towards you.

"What do you mean?", you asked.

"You know he's been in love with you since like forever right?", he said, laugh dying down.

"Wonwoo? No way. We're just friends", you chuckled.

"Ouch, well I hope you didn't tell him that. Could break his heart", he placed a hand over his chest while showing a sad face.

"You're insane. You know that?", you laughed.

"I might be but believe it or not, he's looking this way. He kinda looks mad because we're having a good conversation but he might be thinking otherwise", he smirked.

"He is not", you rolled your eyes.

"Fine", he shrugged his shoulders and sat down next to you.

You looked at him weirdly and got curious. You slowly looked over your shoulder and met eyes with Wonwoo. He quickly looked away, ears turning red.

When you looked back at Vernon, he shook his head and smirked.

"Told ya", he said.

"Well maybe he's just looking around and it so happened to be he looked at me the same I looked at him", you said.

"Okay fine. But you know he's the jealous type right?", he asked.

"What does that have to do with anything?", you asked.

He sat closer to you and whispered in your ear.

"Noona, did I ever tell you how pretty you are?", he whispered, causing you to blush.

"No I'm not", you said, corner of your lip rising.

"Hm, but you are", he whispered, putting your hair behind your ear.

You smiled and nudged him away, glancing down at your shoes.

Few seconds later you felt someone grab your wrist and pull you up onto your feet. Wonwoo quickly gave a dirty look to Vernon before pulling you out of the practice room.

"Ahh lovebirds", Vernon smiles cheekily while watching the both of you until you were out of sight.

~~~

"Ow..Wonwoo, you're hurting me", you said, trying to remove his hand from your wrist.

He found a secluded room and pulled you in, locking the door behind him. His hands were against the wall as his head hung low. He turned around and leaned against the door, staring at the ground.

He glanced at your wrist and noticed a bruise forming. He carefully grabbed your hand and caressed the light colored bruise.

"I'm sorry", he whispered.

"What is going on with you? You've been acting strange lately", you said.

He sighed and pushed himself off of the door, getting close to you. It caught you off guard so you took a step back. Apparently the person who cleans this room doesn't do a very good job. You ended up tripping on something, causing you to fall back. Wonwoo grabbed you before you had the chance to hit the floor.

"Are you okay?", he asked, checking if you were hurt.

"I'm fine", you said, softly pushing him off of you.

He nodded and awkwardly looked around around. You can feel the tension in the room becoming heavy.

"You didn't answer my question. Why have you been acting weird", you asked.

He sighed before looking at you. He didn't have to say anything for you to understand what was going on. The look he was giving you, it was very intense yet soft if that makes sense.

He grabbed your hand and traced the outline of your lips with his index finger. You didn't know what was going on in your head. All you were focused on was how gentle he was. He was hesitating so you got closer and placed your hands on his chest.

You leaned in closer until your lips were slightly touching. You looked into his eyes, those dark brown eyes that see you for who you are. He couldn't wait any longer so he closed the space between you two.

It felt different. Not that you had anything else to compare it to. It was your first kiss. And you're glad it was with him.
