I'm Not Cold; Just Scared

(^O^) Chapter 13 (^O^)

(A/N One of my most favorite produce trainers EVER)

An hour later, they were all boarding the plane. Samuel for one was definitely excited as he was blabbering in rapid English, none of which Jinyoung understood.

"Oh my god I am so excited for LA like I'm literally shaking. Feel my energy, hoes!" Samuel said in English.

Jinyoung's face was the definition of confused. "Uh...Samuel you know more than half of us here don't speak English right?" 

"Yeah, shut up Samuel Kim, it's annoying." Somi hissed from the back, also in English.

"Y'all are annoying, why are we talking in English again?" Kuanlin asked in English as well.

"I don't know hun, I don't know" Samuel said.

All this English made Jinyoung feel like his head was pounding. Not gonna lie, he regrets not learning English when he was younger but oh well.

And he was still shocked that Kuanlin spoke in fluent English because unlike Somi and Samuel, he never spoke a word in English. He turned to Daehwi who was next to him. He noticed that Daehwi's jaw was rather rigid during the take off and he probably knew why.

"Dae?" he called. The smaller boy responded with a "Hm?" and looked up at the older.

Jinyoung smiled at him while putting an arm around his shoulders protectively. "Try not to think too much about it, okay?"  He said, referring to Daehwi's trauma.

Daehwi looked shocked "H-how did you know what I was thinking about?" he asked, leaning in to the older's warm touch.

"I just guessed." Jinyoung replied.

Meanwhile Woojin and Hyungseob were staring at Jinhwi. They were on the middle seats across the two, so they saw what was happening. Hyungseob saw Jinyoung put an arm around Daehwi's shoulders and Daehwi lean in closer to the older. His elfish eyes widened and he poked Woojin.

"Ow! What was that for?" Woojin muttered, rubbing his arm.

"Shh, idiot! Look there" Hyungseob hissed, nudging in that direction. After Woojin saw what Hyungseob was pointing at, his eyes were bigger than saucers and his mouth fell open.

"Holy lord, those two became close really fast, eo?" Woojin asked. 

Hyungseob agreed. "I know right? Just two weeks ago, they'd stiffen if they hugged and look at them now!"

Woojin glanced at Jihoon and Kuanlin and then back at Jinyoung and Daehwi. "Y'know something? I think they are closer that Kuanlin and Jihoon are, and they're not even dating!"

Jinyoung and Daehwi were still in that position, oblivious to Hyungseob and Woojin staring at them. 

Daehwi's eyes started to droop so Jinyoung put the younger's head on his shoulder. "Sleep a little, you must  be tired." he said. Daehwi however looked up at Jinyoung.

"Jinyoung hyung, for the past few days, you've been caring about me a lot. What about your anxiety? Are you okay as well?" he questioned.

"I guess I'll just live through with it, it's always been there." Jinyoung answered, smiling a little bitterly.

Daehwi smiled at Jinyoung. "It's okay, I'll be there for you, the way you'll be there for me." He said.

Jinyoung's heart started fluttering uncontrollably at that and he had to work hard to hide his blush and his smile. "Thanks Hwi, now let's sleep for a while." Jinyoung said, still holding the younger close.

Daehwi leaned his head again onto Jinyoung's shoulder and closed his eyes, smiling softly. Jinyoung looked at the younger while internally screaming.
