That Month In May. Joshua Hong x Reader

68. A Knack For it.

Eunhi's Pov.

"Eunhi?." My direction moved towards the voice and Hanbin stood there.

"Hanbin.." I muttered as his shoes clacked towards me. He wrapped his arms around me as I gripped his back. "Hanbin.." My voice slowly began to crack.

As I spoke his name he patted the back of my head. I finally found someone I'd be able to talk to..Why was I feeling the need to cry? Many people were around but I couldn't help it.

"Why are you crying?." He lightly wiped my eyes with his thumb, the rest of his hands caressing my cheeks.

"I've been so homesick." I rubbed my eyes, noticing Sigu unnie was gone. But I chose to contijue talking to Hanbin.

"I see it. Everything is always shown on your face." He'd smile, letting go of my face.

"Is it so obvious?." My eyes were burning, and swollen.

"Definitely." He chuckled, placing his hand on his hip. "I didn't know you'd be here." He sighed with a smile.

"I didn't even know you'd be in America aswell." I chuckled, cooling myself down.

"Well I'm staying for a year or 2. I made a long-term collab with this company..So here I am." He shrugged, glancing back.

"I don't know how long I'm staying but it's 100% longer than a few months." I scratched my head, then fixing my shirt.

"It's great to see you again." He grinned and I nodded.

"Likewise." I added and we went on together. "I can't find my manager anymore." As we were walking, Sigu unnie was nowhere to be seen in the area.

There were multiple people here too, so it was even harder to spot her. "Well where do you even need to go?" He asked, looking at his phone.

"A studio to record." I answered and he gazed up at me.

"By the way..I saw the awards show. You're incredible at singing." He praised me with compliments.

"Thank you."

"Really though! Being an idol would suit you perfectly." He exclaimed with a smile. "And..Here are the studios." He pointed at the multiple rooms.

"That's..a lot." I looked at each amd every one of them.

"Eunhi! Over here! Sorry I left you!" Sigu unnie waved, from a room. Me and Hanbin headed over to her, entering the studio.

It was huge, had lights and everything you needed to record songs or anything in general. "We'll talk later. I'll see you at the lounge. Is that good?" Hanbin asked, glancing at his watch then to me.

"Yeah. I'll see you then!" I waved as he closed the door behind him. "Where are..the PLEDIS staff.?" I questioned, taking a seat on the couch.

"They're on their way now." She said, setting up everything that were probably the songs.

"Sorry for the barge-in!" The staff bowed. "Hey Eunhi! Long time no see!" They said, shaking hands with me.

"Yeah. Long time no see." I remembered them clearly. "How's..SEVENTEEN?." I smiled.

"They're doing great." One replied. "They miss you a lot." He continued, as he took out the papers. "Anyways, we'll be explaining the way of the song and then go record. Is that alright?"

"Yep!" He passed us the lyrics and we read through and asked about the lines..If any should be changed or not.

Good To Me's vibe was a bit intense and gave off a very aggressive vibe. And the vocal unit has the song 'Hug'.

These were 2 good titles with good lyrics inside. Woozi does these songs incredibly well. "They're both great. I've analyzed most of it. I think I can do it." I said, looking through the papers.

"Great! Then we can start recording!" He suggested, getting ready at the recording. Sigu unnie gave me a thumbs up so I won't be nervous. I sang my lines perfectly. But of course with a few re-tries it then eventually became the lines needed for the song.

I listened to it and I was satisfied with the result of my voice. We moved onto the song Hug and completed it..It took longer than expected as the time we left, it was already late evening.

Joshua's Pov.

"I thought we could go see Eunhi." Dk mumbled, laying on the bed.

"The staff are pretty much liars." S.Coups added, staring at his phone with his hoodie up.

"I'm sure we can tell." Mingyu grumbled, sitting on the floor with Jeonghan. I just kept to myself, staring at my phone. Eunhi was extremely busy, she hadn't replied to any of our texts.

What if her phone broke.? Does she remember our numbers..? What if she's not allowed because it distracts her..

Overthinking ruined my evening..I could never get rid of it even when I tried my hardest to.

"Joshua. Can you help me?." Vernon called for me and I nodded, following him into a different room.

"What is it?" I tilted my head sitting on the other bed.

"I don't think we're ever seeing Eunhi throughout this trip." He broke it off.

"What do you mean?!" I exclaimed but he forced me to keep quiet.

"The staff are deliberately separating us from her, because it's clear we have rumors going around online." He leaned against the wall as he talked to me.

"How do you even know..You know so much that goes on." I folded my arms, not taking it to heart.

"I overheard. And one of them texted me thinking it was our boss." He sighed, walking over to the window. "They deleted the message shortly afterwards." He added.

"But..then why are we here.?" I said.

"Well..Of course. To promote the group. But the staff expects nothing else but that." He explained. "What do we even do now..?" He rubbed the back of his neck, out of awkwardness.

"We've got to figure out something then." I insisted, not taking no for an answer. We had to find out some way to go see Eunhi.
