Chapter 58

Chunmei's POV

~2 week Time Skip~

These past 2 weeks have been a lot of fun. WayV has a temporary manager, because they're still looking for someone to replace their previous one. Not sure what happened to that guy, but he's gone, and that's all that matters to me.

I feel like me and Winwin have been getting a lot closer. A LOT. I mean, WayV too, not to exclude anyone, but Winwin especially. Turns out that he's actually really funny.

And about Chunli... I told my parents about her as soon as she got fired, and they wanted me to return to America. I talked it over with WayV, and some of them may or may not have almost cried. In the end, I decided to stay for a while more because I didn't want to face it anymore.

Then again, it's not like I have a job here either.

Chaemin and I have been talking a lot, too. She's also a lot of fun to hang out with, although maybe not as much as Winwin. Why do my thoughts keep going back to him?

Anyways, we usually just talk about random things or relate about all the drama involved with being close to an idol, sometimes we go hang out or something, and other times we just chill together. Just best friend things, yknow?

Oh, and I've also been helping her plan out her upcoming wedding with Taeyong. Which is exciting.

As I'm laying in my bed, going through all of these thoughts about the past 2 weeks, Winwin comes into the room, looking slightly more nervous than usual.

"Hey, Winwin," I greet him, looking up.

"Oh, hi, Chunmei," he responds, just standing there. After a few seconds, he asks, "I have a question, do you want to go get coffee in a few minutes? From the original coffee shop? Xiaojun went the other day and said that there wasn't anyone camping out there anymore."

I nod, excited. "Sure! It's been a while since we last went there." I really did miss the shop. Imagine getting emotionally attached to a coffee place... Yeah, that's me.

Just as the door shuts, signaling that he's left the room, I get a notification that someone's texted me.

Chaemin
HELLO

Me
hi!

Chaemin

Me

Chaemin

Me

Chaemin
COME ON ITS SO OBVIOUS

Yeah, I'm just playing dumb. I know what she's talking about. And I'm just gonna kinda pretend that I don't.

Chaemin
winwin likes u
AND U LIKE HIM BACK

Me
mhm

The second part might be true, but the first part most definitely can't be.

Okay, sure, I'll admit it. I may or may not be feeling some things for Winwin. There, I said it. Admitted it to myself.

But the feeling being mutual? Probably, and definitely, not.

After all, this dude is an idol, and I'm just Liu Chunmei. I mean, what? I'm Yang Chunmei. Dang, WayV has been calling me Liu Chunmei so much recently, I've basically forgotten my real name. This reminds me of that time Yangyang asked if I wanted to be a Dong...

Anyways, I'm just Yang Chunmei, an insanely lucky... but yet also unlucky?... random person in this large, large world. Who happens to like this dude.

Chaemin
hello?
i know u like him dont deny it

Me
ok

Chaemin
WAIT OK AS IN OK?

Me
yes. ok. maybe I do.

Chaemin

Me

Chaemin
BYE ENJOY COFFEE WITH UR CRUSH
why did that sound kinda good?

I finally force myself to stop talking to her, because I need to change into street clothes at least. Chaemin's like my best friend, and I've known her for two weeks.

Anyways, I'm going to quickly get read to go on this mysterious, spontaneous coffee drinking "date" according to Chaemin thingy.
