FOR YOU ; ATEEZ 9th member

2020.01.07🍓what did i do? (part 2)

So come just as you are to me
Don't need apologies
Know that you are worthy
I'll take your bad days with your good
Walk through the storm, I would
I'd do it all because I love you
I love you
Unconditional, unconditionally
I will love you unconditionally
There is no fear now
Let go and just be free
I will love you unconditionally

the song she wrote for wooyoung played from her phone over and over again as the boys constantly called her. except wooyoung. her phone was ringing off the hook and the constant vibrations were starting to annoy her. you see, she would have answered their calls and asked one of them to pick her up but she didnt know where she was. it was late and there was only a couple people around.

after walking for another ten minutes, she came to the familiar structure of the han river bridge. aislinn smiled to herself and made her way to the edge of the bridge, sitting down and admiring the reflection of the night sky in the clear water. she turned off the ringtone and plugged her earphones into her phone, the soft melody of star 1117 playing. she sang along lightly, enjoying the peace that enveloped her.

when her music turned itself off, she figured her phone had died. she huffed when she realized she hadnt even checked the time, though she was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of it before the device powered off. 01:57 is what it said.

"oh.. i should get goi-"

"lina! where are you? please be out here!" the girl heard from a distance. she smiled to herself and ran toward the voice, tackling the owner of it into a big hug. "linlin, baby," he mumbled as he started peppering her face with kisses. "are you alright? are you hurt? are you cold? are you hungry?"

"hwa hyungie, im fine. im just glad youre here," aislinn smiled as seonghwa picked her up, placing a last kiss on her nose before walking in the opposite direction of the han river.

"hey, lina, you dont need to but could you tell me whats going on between you and wooyoung? it seems to be affecting you guys a lot."

"i dont know what it is, if im honest with you," she huffed and pouted before continuing. "i noticed his change of behaviour at dance practise the other week, and all i know is that hes blaming whatever it is on me. i keep trying to ask him why but he just ignores me. hes even blocked my number and removed me from his kakao talk. i really want him to speak to me about it so, if it really does involve me, i can fix it. i dont like seeing him like this. and, i mean, the last time he was mad at me, it was because i apparently cheated at mario kart so i have absolutely no idea what is going on this time." seonghwa reached a hand up, ruffling her hair.

"we will figure it out, dont worry. now, san is waiting in the car with wooyoung. we had to bring him with us else joong would have killed him." aislinn nodded, a small smile on her face as she saw san stood by the black car that was parked under a street lamp. when they got in the car, a tense silence filled the air.

"okay, now, i have called you all here to talk about this issue between wooyoung and aislinn. woo, dont even think about leaving; this isnt going to resolve itself and it is affecting all of us," wooyoung sighed at the leader, sitting back on the couch next to san and mingi. "now, lets hear your side of the story first, aislinn."

the girl sighed, taking a hold of the rubber band on her wrist and flicking it against her skin, turning it a bright red. "honestly, there isnt much for me to say because i dont know whats going on. all i know is that something must have happened some time around our first training session last monday because that is when i noticed his change of behaviour. ive tried talking to him but he just keeps ignoring me; he pushes me away from him and hes blocked me on everything. so, in conclusion, i have done nothing wrong but he is blaming it on me. now, do you have anything to add, wooyoung? do you need to fill in the gaps? do you have a different side of the story? i know i missed out the parts where you physically hurt me, maybe you would like to fill them in on that, hmm?" aislinn rolled her eyes and pulled the band back, letting go of it once more causing it to snap. she huffed and pouted. "i need another," she mumbled, putting her hand in her pocket before pulling out another band. jongho, who sat next to her, took the band from her, along with the large mass of bands from her pocket. "hey, theyre mine. give them back."

"take this and listen to wooyoungs side of the story," hongjoong said, handing jongho a stress ball which was passed to the girl who huffed and sat back, keeping her eyes on wooyoung as she squeezed the stress ball as hard as she could (definitely not imagining its wooyoung). wooyoung stayed silent, staring at the floor.

"woo, can you please talk..? i dont appreciate what youve done and i also dont appreciate that you arent saying anything or doing anything about it," aislinn stood up, walking over to wooyoung and crouching in front of him. "look, im annoyed at you, yeah yeah, but i dont like seeing you like this. whatever the problem is, talk to me. yes, i can be annoying, but i do listen and i do try to help," she sighed, lifting wooyoungs head by his chin. "look at me, woo. whatever it is that i did, im sorry. i, quite frankly, have absolutely no idea what i did which is why i need you to talk, okay?" wooyoung huffed and ran a hand through his hair, licking his lips in frustration.

"the problem is-!" he started, raising his voice. when his eyes met aislinns teary ones, however, he immediately stopped himself and slid off the couch, bringing her into a tight hug as the rest sighed and smiled. they missed seeing the pair like this. "im sorry." he whispered over and over and over again. "please dont cry, ill never repeat my actions again. im sorry for shouting at you, im sorry for pushing you away, im sorry for putting you down, im sorry for hitting you. i am so sorry, lina."

"its fine, woo, really. but could i please know what it was that you were mad at? i promise that ill fix it as soon as i can."

"no no no no no, it was entirely my fault and, to be honest, its pretty stupid," the boy mumbled, pulling away from the hug.

"i swear to namjesus i will eat your shower curtains if you dont tell me," aislinn crossed her arms and lay on her back, letting out a quiet 'oof' when wooyoung lay on top of her.

"they are glass doors."

aislinn rolled her eyes at the boy, tapping his back lightly, "jokes on you, i like my food crunchy."

everyone laughed as wooyoung swiftly removed himself from the girl, "as a matter of fact, i need those. that skunk looking thing always walks in on me," wooyoung glared at san who raised his hands in defence.

"okay okay, san, if you walk in on woo whilst hes showering, why do you walk in on me and tell me that woo is showering and you cant use your restroom because of it?"

"you should try locking the door," san smiled innocently.

"the lock on ours is broken because you kept picking it!"

"i told you it was san!" jongho said as they all laughed, the tension that was once in the room now vanished. the only mystery, now, is why wooyoung was really mad at aislinn– was he actually mad at her or did he just blame it on her for whatever reason?
