That Month In May. Joshua Hong x Reader

42. A Couple Conversations.

Jeonghan's Pov. A Few Days Later.

"Jeonghan hyung."

"Hm?" I replied, giving him a sign that I was listening.

"You've been on edge lately." He said, leaning back on his chair. I was poking holes in my drink then answered.

"Stressful." I answered short but clear. "What about you? You don't seem that much interested." I tilted my head and he shook his.

"I just cannot understand what's going on." He scoffed with a smile. "I just hang out with the rest of the members. I'd love to helo, but we're sort of..just not part of the problem." Mingyu shrugged his shoulders, giving himself and the others a cover.

"Yeah. I know. It's better that way." I agreed and he went back to checking his phone.

"Haneul has ruined so much recently. I wonder what more she can do." He continued on and I nodded.

"We should worry more on what she's going to do. She's technically capable of doing everything." I explained, finishing my drink, hearing the loud sip effects.

My lungs giving out, I coughed and Mingyu finished his drink too. "We should be worried..By the way. Are you not still shocked about Eunhi and Coups hyung getting together?" He questioned and I stayed quiet. I didn't want to say much about it.

"No." I gave a quick snappy answer and he didn't add anything afterwards. "What about you?"

"Yeah. It was pretty sudden. And we all thought she was fixed for Joshua." But as he said that, it seemed he figured something out. "Don't you-" As he was just about to say it someone asked us for directions and we eventually found ourselves walking back to work.

"Ah- Coups-" As we walked a little more, we saw him with Eunhi. I pulled Mingyu back and made him crouch due to how tall he was.

He peeked through and I explained the situation. We decided to listen to the 2.

S.Coups' Pov.

"What do I do Cheol.?" Her worried expression made my heart sink as she spoke. "Am I really going to be gone?."

"No..You're not going to be gone Eunhi. You're just going to get like a break. Think it like that." I hugged her, rubbing the back of her head lightly.

"I can't leave you guys with her! I'm abandoning you!" She pushed me back, smacking her chest.

"You're not leaving us. Maybe it's for the best. When..do you have to go?" It hurt somewhat as I asked. She didn't want to look at me anymore.

"In a year.." We both knew how short it would be.

"Hm? It's long enough for us to have fun together." I reassured her and she shook her head still filled with worries.

"But it's not enough for me.." She mumbled out her words, on the verge of tearing up. "America is far.."

"You've gone there multiple times though." I said, raising my eyebrow.

"But it's not the same now. I just want to be by your guys' side forever. I don't want to miss anything!" I saw her gritting off the skin beside her nails.

"Hey..You won't miss anything. Just go! We'll call. I'll promise that." I raised out my pinky and her sensitiveness lowered as she lifted her pinky.

"Are you really sure.." She was still unsure about anything.

"Of course Eunhi." I smiled lightly. She nodded, locking pinkies with me and we made the promise together. "Has anything happened lately with Haneul?"

"Just a bunch of news going around social media. Just about her and Joshua." She explained, wiping her tears lightly. Her voice was still heavy.

"I'm sure she's done now." I made my own assumptions and she laughed to my humor.

"Hopefully!" Eunhi was back to smiling, something I could enjoy again. "By the way, I actually forgot about this topic..But..What did happen that night when we went to go drink?" She really had to bring it up once again..I got flustered, just getting a scene back into mind.

"Should I really say it-" I put my hands in my pockets, oddly embarrassed too. "It's embarrassing."

"Don't worry! I just want to remember." She innocently said and I exhaled with much air leaving.

"Alright..So. We..made out.?" I stared at her blank face as she just tilted her head.

"Wait..what?" She said as an awkward silence fell through between us and I dipped my head down, feeling my face heat up.

"I'm sorry." I wish I hadn't said it at this point.

Jeonghan's Pov.

After hearing that me and Mingyu glanced at eachother. "Eunhi's going to America again?." I whispered and Mingyu was in shock too. As Mingyu stood up.. "Ay! Mingyu!" I tried warning him but..

"Ack!" He bumped his head and I pulled Mingyu to me. As I hoped they didn't come..I didn't breathe at all.

"You're so clumsy! We almost got caught!" I whisper yelled at him in slight anger and he said sorry with his hands.

"But aside from that..Is she really leaving?" We leaned on the tree, sulking up.

"Well..It seemed serious. I don't think we should tell the others." I mentioned, my knees brought up to my neck.

"I agree." Mingyu was worrying too. But on the other side was Joshua and Haneul. "We're caught in the middle.." Mingyu said, as we slowly crawled closer to the other pair.

"Now what's going on here.."

Joshua's Pov.

"Do we still have to go on?"

"Of course." She kissed me. I will never get used to it.. "Don't take this the wrong way." She smiled.

"I'm not. I'll never like you." I grumbled.

"Well that's good. Because I'll never. And I mean..never like guys like you." She continued, with a grin still plastered on her face. "So..How jealous are you from a 1-10?"

"I'm not jealous." I said.

"Come on. We've talked a lot. We're considered friends at this point." She nudged me, it gave me like normal highschool vibes. Isn't she a good person inside sometimes?.

"Fine. A good 9." I gave in and she laughed.

"Don't lie. By the way you're clenching your fists right now, that's a good 11." She smacked me lightly on the shoulder, holding her stomach while laughing.

"Don't laugh." I didn't want to smile myself. "But since we're talking about her. I'm still wondering why you're doing this to her."

"Well..Since you did tell me something..I guess I could fit in something." She shrugged, then sitting down.
