Seventeen Imagines

Art of Awkward - Joshua

"Hey, Josh. You've been staring at that girl for two minutes. Come on, snap out of it!" Jeonghan hissed at me, smacking me in the arm.

I jumped in my seat, looking at him with an agitated look on my face. I was staring at her because it's always so fascinating watching her draw.. She could probably draw a stick figure getting stabbed by some unusual rabbit-dog and I'd say it was perfect..

"Joshua! Drink your freaking coffee before I smack it off this table!" Seokmin suddenly said beside me.

I turned and picked up the cup, quickly finishing so I could look back and see her one last time before we left.

She looked up from her paper and we made eye contact, and I felt a heat cross my face.

She smiled at me slightly, putting her hand up and waving at me. I awkwardly waved back and she looked back down and continued drawing.

"We have to go back to class now. Let's go before I end up dragging Joshua back." Jeonghan said, everyone getting up but me.

"You might have to.." Seokmin said when I didn't get up.

I looked at them, both giving me looks of disappointment. I groaned and got up, sulking slightly.

"That's not gonna get you anywhere, mister. We're going home." Jeonghan said.

I heard shuffling behind me, and then saw Jeonghan look confused. I turned around to see Seokmin coming to a sudden stop and smiling at me.

Confused myself, I looked back at Jeonghan who shrugged at me.

Then out of the corner of my eye I saw someone walk past me, and when I realized who it was, I froze.

I suddenly felt a pair of hands shove me into her, causing her to drop her notebook and pencils. I was sort of pressed against her, with wide eyes and probably a really obvious blush on my face.

I suddenly knelt down to pick it up, and she did too. We both stopped this time and locked our gazes on each other.

Jeonghan knelt down with us shortly after, having a huge smile on his face.

"I think our Joshua here likes someone." Jeonghan said, looking at her.

Before I could say anything, Jeonghan and Seokmin were running out of the store giggling like schoolgirls.

She giggled, picking her notebook and pencils up before we both stood up.

I awkwardly rubbed my arm.

"Sorry about them.. They made me harass you.." I said, still feeling my face blazing hot.

"It's okay.. Joshua? I'm Y/n! I see you here often, you always watch me draw. It's cute, really. Even though you're never close enough to get a good look.." She said, tucking her notebook under her arm and putting her pencils in her jacket pocket.

"..Really? I.. I never really thought you noticed." I said, feeling my blush get deeper.

"That's why I waved at you earlier. And dontcha think someone's gonna think you have some fever?" She said, pressing the back of her hand against my cheek.

I didn't even know if it was possible, but my blush deepened even more. She suddenly pulled her hand away, laughing at me. I could see her have a slight pink tone cross her face as well.

"Are you going to be here Saturday? That's the next time I'm coming and it'd be nice to see you here!" She said, smiling.

"Y-Yeah.. Sure, I'll be here." I said, suddenly really nervous.
