Chapter 4

He didn't say anything about him after meeting him, so you stopped inviting the guy to hang out with you.

You were very impressionable.

It wasn't necessarily a bad thing, you just were. You knew you were.

So you were careful when getting to know your kpop biases, because if they had a preference of some sort in a girl, you were afraid you might cling on to that, and change yourself to try and conform to that.

"You watch anime don't you?" He asked after a moment. You cocked your head to the side.

"Yeah," you replied softly. He smiled.

"Are you keeping up with any anime this season?" He asked. "I haven't been able to really but I know that there are a lot worth watching."

"You're probably way too busy producing to watch anime," you agreed. "I haven't been following many either because of school. But I have been watching Slime."

"Really? I have too!" Woozi agreed. Excitement crossed his facial features, and for a second he didn't look as tired. It made you smile even brighter.

"Yeah! Honestly, it's one of my favorite anime right now! Rimuru Tempest is so cool!" You gushed. Woozi agreed just as brightly. Before you knew it the two of you had begun to have an in depth conversation about the show and quite honestly you were a little taken aback by Jihoon's love of the japanese cartoons.

Jihoon acted a little bit like a jock sometimes. He didn't seem like the type to be interested in something like anime on the surface. Of course, the short conversation you had with him proved otherwise.

An undeniable spark lit up in his eyes as he spoke about the characters in anime they had both watched, and when he got particularly excited about a plot you were able to add input that only made him more excited.

You got him talking about Goblin Slayer, a particularly controversial anime for a scene in the first episode, and your opinion on it had surprisingly enough aligned with his. After a while you just settled down and listened to the boy excitedly speaking in between large, sloppy bites of food.

Your phone was actually the thing that interrupted the conversation between you two. You glanced down, surprised to see that you had a call from Caitlin. You answered it.

"Is everything okay?" You asked softly.

"Is everything okay? It's late and you haven't been answering your texts!"

Your eyes widened slightly and you pulled your phone down to look at the time. It was almost midnight. You lowered your phone and mouthed just that to Jihoon who looked to be just as surprised as you were. He looked at his watch, and then at his phone, and then at your watch, and then he reached forward and he took your phone from your hand. You didn't understand why he did that, but you let him.

"Sorry I kept her out late, don't worry, I'll let her go back now."

He didn't wait for Caitlin to respond. He hung up the phone right afterwards, and stared down at it. He then looked at you. His expression was soft. God, he looked so tired.

"Do you still have promotions tomorrow?" You asked him, your voice so quiet that you didn't think he would hear. Whenever your voice got this quiet people didn't ever hear you.

"We have practice pretty early," he admitted after a moment. Your expression solemned.

"Why did you stay out with me so late. If you push your body like this-"

"If I hadn't have come over and brought you food would you have eaten at all?" Jihoon interrupted. There wasn't a lot you could say to that. You could either lie, or you could tell the truth.
