The Avoiding game
"Yo Chaeyoung wanna go catch a movie tonight?" Y/n asked skipping into the kitchen where Chaeyoung was making toast for herself and Soobin was sipping on coffee.
"Oh uh," Chaeyoung stammered side eyeing Soobin who was mindlessly scrolling on his phone. "I woulda but i um have to be somewhere."
"Okay no probs. I'll go with you then!"
Chaeyoung froze. Now what?
"I-its a private dinner with my family.." Chaeyoung lied through her teeth with a sheepish chuckle. "W-we can go out tomorrow if you like."
"But you've been saying that for the past week." Y/n slightly pouted. "Fine I'll just force Taeyong into coming with me."
Y/n left the kitchen in a slumped posture while Chaeyoung's heart ached to be lying like that to her best friend.
Y/n stomped up the stairs and looked behind to see if anyone was following her and then immediately dashed into the corner bumping into Huening.
"SHE REJECTED ME AGAIN!" Y/n whisper yelled while everyone murmured disagreements.
"How long are they going to hide it?" Taehyun asked already tired of this spy business.
"No idea." Y/n hummed sitting down between Taeyong and Beomgyu. "I say we just crash their dinner date and go 'aha we knew it!'" Yeonjun said joining the circle on the floor.
Y/n slightly tensed up. Neither her nor Yeonjun had brought up their kiss or the question of what they were. Was a kiss driven by emotion to calm her down? Maybe, but Y/n didn't want to overthink it.
"I'm gonna take a shower." Y/n said standing up. "Let me know on how you guys plan on busting them."
"Sure." Taeyong said blowing a kiss to Y/n which she blew back before jogging to her room and shutting the door.
"She's avoiding you." Taeyong stated the obvious looking at Yeonjun who was whistling pretending to not care.
"Is she?" He asked in return with a head tilt.
"What'd you do now Choi?" Taehyun asked smugly while Yeonjun coughed into his fist.
"I kissed her."
The hallway went silent before Taeyong stood up and towered over Yeonjun.
"You what?"
"S-she kissed me back though." Yeonjun said while Taeyong fell to the ground with a hand over his heart.
"Its finally happening! I've waited YEARS, no wait, DECADES FOR THIS!" He exclaimed standing back up and hugging Yeonjun who was confused out of his mind.
"Just so you know I'll let you be my brother in law-"
"TAEYONG!"
"IM KIDDING!"

Y/n let out a sigh of relief leaning against her door with her hand over her pounding heart as memories of Yeonjun's comforting words and how his lips felt on hers flooded her mind.
"I'm going crazy." Y/n admitted out loud, opening up her tied hair which was starting to get messy.
Hoping to clear her mind Y/n thought of taking a shower. But as soon as she stepped inside she realized that she was out of shampoo.
Great. Just great.
Oh wait Yeonjun has some nice smelling shampoo i can go steal it.
But then again i don't want to bump into him.
ARGH
Similar thoughts flooded Y/n's mind as she just thought chuck it and stepped out of her room sighing in relief again to see the boys nowhere.
She knew it was time for Yeonjun to head to the gym, so she freely walked into his room like she owned it and headed for the bathroom.
"Ooo new towels. I'm definitely stealing these." Y/n giggled to herself and picked up a towel and then proceeded to place a shampoo and conditioner bottle atop it.
Y/n skipped back to her room happily and entered the shower, liking the fact that her mind was starting to get clear now.
Lathering the shampoo into her hair, Y/n couldn't help but remember how many times Yeonjun's scent has comforted her. Be it through a hug, when they were acidentally cuddling, it always brought her peace.
"DAMMIT IM THINKING OF HIM AGAIN!" Y/n yelled to herself in defeat momentarily opening her eyes.
Spoiler: the soap gets in her eyes.
After a while of intense cursing, Y/n wrapped a towel around her hair and around her body while she looked back at her shower making sure she left it clean before she opened the door and stepped outside not expecting Yeonjun.
The said man was leaning against the doorframe with his hands crossed with sweat that made his skin glisten. His hair was slightly damp from the sweat and his eyes stared into y/n's deeply.
Y/n on the other hand was trying not to stare at his lower body because of his gym attire that consisted of a sleeveless shirt that highlighted his arm muscles and sweatpants.
"Um-"
"Why are you avoiding me, Y/n?" Yeonjun asked his voice slightly deeper than usual. Y/n gulped. She obviously didn't expect to be confronted this soon.
"N-no reason," Y/n mumbled looking anywhere but at Yeonjun who knew his effect on the girl.
"It doesn't look like that." He said standing up straight and walking towards Y/n who felt like her feet were glued to the ground.
"We can talk later, jun." Y/n said placing a palm on his chest stopping him. "I need to get dressed its really cold."
Yeonjun's demeanor shifted as he watched Y/n step to the side and walk to the door. Did he really get rejected that fast?
"Do you-" Yeonjun breathed. "Do you not like me?"
Y/n stopped where she stood her heart thundering. All this while she was thinking about her own feelings but was being inconsiderate about Yeonjun's. He was human too, he had a soft heart in there which gets hurt easily just like her.
"Its not that." Y/n said her back still turned on Yeonjun who looked somewhat hopeful.
"Y-you just make me so flustered and it scares me because I've never experienced such things before." Y/n admitted biting her lip, assuming Yeonjun was still listening.
"It's scary falling in love with you Choi Yeonjun."
Yeonjun was rendered speechless. Y/n was a tough shell to crack because she always wore that goofy smile of hers that made everyone think that she was fine.
That same facade came crumbling down in front of Him.
"I like you. And I'm hesitating not because of you." Y/n clarified her eyes glossing with tears. "Its me. I'm the problem."
The silence in the room scared Y/n. She had done it again. She lost someone she loved again.
Y/n was so absorbed in her own thoughts that she didn't hear Yeonjun's footsteps walk up to her until she felt his arms wrap around her torso and his face rested in the crook of her neck that smelled exactly like him.
"You're such an idiot for thinking I'd ever leave you." He murmured against her bare skin sending shivers down her spine.
"I love you Y/n. I promise to be right next to you no matter how hard the times are."
Y/n's tears trickled down her face and onto Yeonjun's hands that had a tight grip on her but not tight enough to hurt her.
"I-i dont deserve you." Y/n's wobbly voice was heard after a while.
"Oh but trust me darling," Yeonjun said the smile in his voice evident.
"You deserve more than anybody else."
