✓ His eyes • Riki Nishimura

II.

During the dance practice, you kept thinking about Niki. You didn't think that your feelings for him were so strong, but they were and they only got stronger.

"Y/n, what are you doing, are you feeling alright?" Heesung asked you when you did the wrong move for the 9th time. "Yeah, no, I- I don't know..." you said, "Jungwon, let's have a break" Hee said and took your hand, walking out of the room. 

When Heeseung closed the door he turned to you "Y/n, we all know that something's wrong. Please tell me, I want to help you" he said. You looked down and Hee already thought that you won't tell him anything, but then you breathed in and looked back at him. "I like Niki, and not just like a friend or best friend. I love him and I want to be with him, but I'm scared he won't feel the same way and I don't want our friendship to break if he wouldn't return the feelings," you said and after you realized what you just said, you covered your mouth. "D-did I actually said it out loud?" "Yeah you did," Hee said with a smirk on his face, "But don't worry, I won't tell Niki. I'm not giving any promises that the other boys-" "Okay, okay, I got it, you will tell everyone..." you said and looked away. "You know... We all were shipping you and Niki for a long time now..." he said and smiled. You smiled back and then walked back into the practice room. 

"Okay, so where did we end?" you asked and looked at the boys talking together. "Y/n are you okay? Sunoo and Niki told us that you zoned out earlier" Jungwon said while walking toward you. "Yeah, I'm fine, thanks. Can we end with the practice faster?" you asked, "Umm, I think we are done for today, let's go home and have a rest..." Jungwon said and looked at the others.

Everyone agreed and you all went to take your things from the workroom. You were almost done with collecting your things when you remembered you left your jacket in the practice room. You ran to the practice room and found your jacket.

Before you walked out of the room, Niki came inside. He looked worried, "Y/n, is everything okay? I saw you running so I thought, maybe something bad happened" he said and walked to you. "Don't worry Riki, I'm fine, I just forgot my jacket here so I ran and got it" you said with a small smile on your face. 

You were about to walk away when Niki grabbed your wrist, he pulled you back in front of him. "N-Niki? Is something wrong?" you asked and looked into his eyes. 

'His eyes were hypnotizing, whenever you looked into them you saw all the dark color shapes in his eyes. Every time you looked into his eyes, you saw love and care in them, you sometimes even thought you saw some sparkles. You really did love Niki, but what if he doesn't? What if he-'

Your thoughts were cut off by Niki pulling you closer to himself. Suddenly, you heard something falling and hitting the floor behind you. You jumped a bit and Niki hugged you. "It's okay, I won't let anyone hurt you...Y/n I actually have something to tell you-" Niki was cut off by the sound of the door opening. He let go of you and you looked up at him.

"Guys! We are leaving! You're coming or not?!" Jay said and you both ran out of the room before Jay got mad even more.

"Finally we are home! I missed my bed soo much!" Sunoo said and ran to his room. "Uhh, I'm going to make some food. Who wants to join me?" Jay said while going to the kitchen. "I will" Jake and Sunhoon said at the same time. "Do you even know how to cook?" Jungwon asked while taking off his shoes. "No, but hyung Jay will teach us, right?" Sunghoon said "Yeah yeah, now come here already!" Jay yelled from the kitchen.

"Jungwon, I have something to tell you. Can you come with me?" Heeseung said and walked away with Jungwon, leaving you alone with Niki.

'Niki, what did you want to tell me back in the practice room?' you asked yourself in your thoughts. "Y/n,  if you don't have anything else to do, would you like to play video games with me?" Niki asked pulling you out of your thoughts once again. "Uhh, yeah sure"

'Niki, should I tell you about my feelings for you?'
