That Month In May. Joshua Hong x Reader

20. I'd Really Like To Be.

S.Coups' Pov.

I'm sorry that I may like you. Is it so selfish of me to think that you could too?

Eunhi's Pov.
Trainee days in the green room with SEVENTEEN.

"Ow. My face Cheol!" I winced, his fingers poking the place under my eye.

"Ah! Sorry!" He backed away. "What even happened to you?" He examined my face.

"I told you! I was punished but I went too far.." I chuckled it off. "It wasn't that much. I talked back."

"What even made you talk back?" Jeonghan joined the conversation, walking to Cheol and stood beside him. "Maybe it's time you shouldn't be hiding such things now." His seriousness was deepening into my skin, giving me quite the nerves. "Maybe there's more things we don't know about." He was pressuring me into a corner.

"Jeonghan. What are you doing.?" Joshua stepped in. As much as I wanted to suggest to go to work..It was only around 7am. We had to leave in an hour from now, Joshua and Jeonghan were starting to go around beginning to stir up an argument.

Then the phone rang from my pocket. "Don't answer it!" Jeonghan ordered me as Joshua turned his head to me.

"Go answer it." He said calmly.

"Don't.!" Jeonghan insisted but I picked it up.

"Hello.?" I gave myself the chance to give myself a breather by leaving the room for a while.

"Hii Eunhi~! How's training going?" It was my Aunt just checking up on me, it made me feel at ease, knowing it isn't anyone else.

"Training is going well. I'm on break and with a couple of friends." I whispered, not wanting others to hear the conversation. "I've already got enough problems though." I folded my arms and she laughed.

"Now don't be too hard on yourself alright.?" She hung up afterwards and I took a look on my phone. Don't be too hard on myself..? But now I started biting my nails, my phone still in my hand.

"Huh.." I shrugged then went back in and it was heated up already.

"SHE'S NOT TELLING US ANYTHING! DOES IT NOT MAKE YOU WORRIED?!" I saw Jeonghan and Joshua arguing while Seungcheol and Vernon were trying stop the 2.

"BUT WHY SHOULD WE INTERFERE?!" Joshua was yelling. It made me feel guilty. I didn't like it.

"WHY DON'T YOU JUST TELL-" I tilted my head as everyone's eyes except Joshua's gazed to me. But then Vernon covered his mouth.

"Huh? Vernon?" Cheol asked.

"I found out." Vernon raised his hand as he glanced to me. "Sorry." He had no expression across his face.

"Found what out? Why am I the only one who doesn't know about this?! Jeonghan she's not the only one hiding secrets!" Joshua's expression wasn't being that very pleasing anymore so I interfered.

"Maybe I should just leave if this is for the best." I sighed. I was definitely not impressed and everyone's moods have been affected by it.

I returned to my company in the area and fixed my hair. "What is happening.." I said to myself with disappointment. I took the elevator up and greeted some people, even in a bad mood. "What do I do about my face.." It honestly looked like some concept makeup but my boss wouldn't be happy about this. But he was the one who did it anyways..

Present.

I checked out my face..But while staring at the mirror I remembered about that lady who was 'telling me about my schedule plan'. I widened my eyes and it all came together. "Damn..That's hella messed up." I shook my head, going out of the hotel. I also wondered if I should buy a house for myself, I mean I can't be living in this hotel forever.

I took a taxi on the way to the company. I haven't gotten a message from my manager yet. I stared outside, checking my phone, really thinking someone would text me.

After a few minutes.

"We're here Ma'am." The driver said as I stepped out, staring at the whole building.

"Eunhi!!" Ahead of me was Hanbin and..Dohwa. Hanbin stretched his arm out to wave at me.

"Hanbin. Dohwa. You both know each other?" I tilted my head.

"I told you I was working with other models! He's one of them. We're only close because of you." Hanbin cheekily smiled as we walked in together.

"What bright energy..Is this what happens when models are friends with each other?" I heard some staff whisper beside us. "She's incredibly beautiful don't you think? But what happened to her face? Did she get beaten up?" I gulped at it but Hanbin distracted me by pointing at something in the building.

"And he's like a puppy! How adorable!"

"And the wolf of the pack! He gives off such a gentle vibe." I snickered at the comments. They were so cheesy but I enjoyed them.

"Eunhi. Why are you laughing?" Hanbin peeked at me.

"Because you're funny." I pinched his cheeks and we went to the relaxing lounge before separating again. "How was the shoot?" I asked them.

"The photographer said we're amazing! She even asked us if we knew about you and that's how hyung and me got to know each other." Dohwa replied with a simple nod and I nodded too.

"I see. What a strange interaction." I chuffed but ending it with a smile.

"Since..we're alone now. May I ask what happened to your face?" Dohwa spoke up and I touched my cheek a little.

"Yeah..I had a fight with someone. They were saying stuff about SEVENTEEN and about my personal family matters. Why should I leave that alone. She was technically provoking me." I shrugged, everything just bursting out of me.

"A girl? You fought with a girl?" Hanbin crossed his legs, probably getting into the conversation.

"She used to be a trainee I worked with back in the days." I sighed, leaning on my palm.

"I guess you really care for those boys." Dohwa changed the topic quickly and I agreed.

"I'd do anything for them. Every single one of them. Is it so selfish that I'd like to have them for myself.?" I smiled, just having the thought of them 13 in my head made me happy.

"Maybe not. You seem really happy with them." Dohwa said.

"I guess I really am. I've been taking it for granted recently." I groaned, smacking myself.

"Don't think like that. They must really treasure you the most too. You're probably like the secret member of SEVENTEEN." Dohwa and Hanbin laughed.

"Is that so. I'd really like to be." I smiled.
