Heart Strings

Chapter 29

Geoun startled awake the next morning by her alarm but quickly hit snooze and went back to sleep. The night before had only ended a few hours ago, and the poor girl was beyond tired.She curled into herself and reached for her blanket, but didn't find it. She sat up frustrated, only to realize she was on the couch, not in her bed. Geoun slowly got up and walked to her room while half asleep, only bumping into 2 walls.

As she reached her room, Geoun climbed into her bed with two blankets surrounding her in comfort and warmth. She was about to drift back to sleep, but her phone buzzed again.

Geoun groaned and looked at her lit up screen, but her frown and pout soon became a smile and blush.

Chris🐨: good morning babygirl! cant wait to see you! i'm still so happy from last night. also, i'm bringing you coffee 😘

Geoun: you're lucky i read this, i was about to go back to sleep lol. i'm so tiirrredddd 😞 but thank you for the coffee, i'll see you soon 🥰

Geoun now had a smile as she got up and changed out of last nights clothes and into something really comfortable - hoodie and sweatpants.

She didn't even bother to mess with her mildly tangled hair. It was still fairly straight from the night before, so Geoun just left it down. After grabbing her backpack and phone, Geoun headed out to the bus stop to wait for Chan.

She wasn't surprised to see him waiting there with two coffees in hand. They each greeted the other with a smile as Chan handed Geoun her coffee and kissed her head.

"Good morning," Chan sipped his latte.

"How'd you get coffee so early? I didn't think anywhere was open this early," Geoun smiled as she held her warm latte in her hands.

"Anything for you," Chan smiled as the bus pulled up and chuckled when Geoun rolled her eyes.

"You're so cheesy," Geoun couldn't help a smile and giggle escaping as she climbed on the shuttle and sat down, Chan following.

"So are you gonna show the guys the finished song today?" A large yawn escaped Geoun's mouth.

"Yeah, they actually wanted to go out to eat before we go to the studio, and they asked me to bring you. I can't wait to tell them about us," Chan looked down at his girlfriend and smiled before placing a sweet kiss on her nose.

"Me too. When I told the girls what happened they were so happy, I'm sure I'll get more questions when I get home today though," Geoun chuckled.

"Jisung looks up to you as an older sister, and he's been pushing me to ask you out. I was just scared," Chan scratched the back of his head as the bus stopped and the couple got out.

"Really? Why were you scared?" Geoun slipped her empty hand into Chan's as they continued to walk and talk.

"I didn't think you liked me, and then everything with Yugyeom. I didn't know if you'd want something like this."

"Well I definitely did like you, ever since that party," Geoun chuckled. " And Yugyeom may be a grade-A asshole, and I may get anxious around him, but he's not going to ruin this for me. I like you, a lot. And I'm so happy that last night happened."

Geoun turned and got on her tippy toes as she placed a kiss on his cheek. Chan blushed and smiled at the display of affection.

The two of them headed up to a practice room to wait for their class to start. Chan decided to show her some new beats he was thinking about and even the lyric ideas to go with them.

The rest of the day dragged for Geoun. She was falling asleep in every class and barely made it back to her bed before she passed out. Thankfully the bus ride back was bumpy enough to keep Geoun awake and she sent a text to Chan letting him know she was going to nap before dinner tonight. And with that, Geoun fell on her bed and knocked out for the next 4 hours.
