It All Started With A Game (Shownu x Reader)

Chapter 21

That.... th-that was...Shownu

~Minutes ago~

All of them were watching (name) as she left the place to pay for the food. I.M nudged Hyungwon's arm, "go cheer her up, you're good at that", he whispered so no one could hear beside Hyungwon.

Hyungwon looked at her fading form, "I should cheer her up", he got up but Shownu went pass him and was walking to where (name) left. I.M quickly grabbed Hyungwon's arm from going while Wonho grabbed Min-ah's arm from going after Shownu.

"he's probably just going to the toilet", Wonho stated without looking at her, deep in his heart, he actually found this girl annoying, always wanted to be around Shownu and she even leave Shownu just because he clenched her wrist.

~Back to (name)~

I slowly grabbed his arm and look down, 'this...this is the sleeve that Shownu wore', "Sh-Shownu?", I turn around and was startled to see that he really was Shownu. "uljima yo(don't cry)", he raise his hand and wiped the dried tears of my face with his gentle thumb, "I never liked seeing you cry because of Min-ah nor do I like seeing you cry because of me...so don't cry", he leaned in, What is going on? Why is he leaning onto me?

I shut my eyes close and I bit my own lip. Why am I so nervous.

The next thing I know, I felt a pair of warm lips on my forehead, that action made my eyes flutter open, my eyes wander up to see his chin right infront of my eyes. Shownu was giving a kiss on my forehead. "Sh-Shownu-yah?", I muttered. He pulled away, "promise me you won't cry again like that, promise me".

I blinked my eyes a few times before nodding my head, "p-promise".

He then locked his fingers with mine, making my heart pounding like wild and said, "let me pay for the food", he walked with me to the cashier, I was still looking at our interlocking hands. It cannot stop the fluttering feeling in my whole body.

"how much is it for table 12?", Shownu asked as we arrived infront of the cashier. "wait a moment please", the cashier said while checking something. Shownu look at me, "don't tell anyone about all these things, okay?". I nodded my head.

He smiled before he rose our intertwined hand up and kiss the back of my hand gently before letting my hand go to pay the bill. "I'm going up ahead", he said before he left me there.

Seriously, he has this habit of making me speechless and just leaving me there dumbfounded. "Excuse me, your boyfriend left his change", she gave me the change. "ah? He's not..nevermind thank you", I bow my head and walked away with his change in my hand, I'll give him later.

Then I remembered, he talked! He talked to me! He even hugged me! God, why am I so excited? I smiled happily.

I control my emotion so I could seem neutral when I get back, and once I got back, I took a chair and sat myself in between Jooheon and Minhyuk eventhough it was a little bit tight, poor Minhyuk though since he was seating on the edge.

Minhyuk nudged my shoulder, "you seem happy, did Shownu cheer you up?". I shook my head, "aniyo.... I found happiness on my own". "did the cashier flirt with you?", he asked again. Before I could answer Jooheon cut me off by saying, "yah, the cashier flirts you?".

I pinched Jooheon's cheek, "aniya.. the cashier is a girl".

"oops", Jooheon sweatdropped.

"here", Hyungwon passed my food to me so I could eat. "thanks Hyungwon-ii", I smiled up to him while he returned the same gesture.

Juheon puffed his cheeks, "keurom mwo?(then what?)". I gasped, "omo....is my bestie angry at me?", I pouted as I hugged his arm. He huffed an annoyed sigh and looked away, "I'm not, I just want an explanation".

"this is so unfair, how come Jooheon-ii got all the attention when I was the first one to ask", Minhyuk interrupted. "jealous much, Minhyuk-ah?", the guy who sat infront of Minhyuk smirked mischievously, seriously Kihyun, it's not the right time to make him annoyed, he's already annoyed.

I look at Minhyuk before smirking, "Minhyuk-ii~", I hugged his arm with my other free arm, "no need to be sulky, Minhyuk-ii". "I'm not", he frowned to himself. "don't make me kiss you Minhyuk-ii", I cockily said. "you won't", he gawked. "oh I will", I smirked even more.

"ah aniyaa..... I'm not sulking okay, so don't", Minhyuk turned his face away from me, his action cracks the others into fits of laughter well except for Shownu who was still trying his best not to laugh infront of the others.

Why won't he just atleast, voice out his laughter?

"okay~ okay~ my kisses are not for you, it's for a special person", I stuck my tongue out to him. "I know~ that's why I don't want you to kiss me BUT of course since I'm your bestie~ I can kiss you anytime I want", he grinned sassily which earned a hit on his head from Wonho.

"you weirdo", he shook his head in disbelief after hitting Minhyuk's head. "what?", he grunted before he rolled his eyes in annoyance.

"you're saying as if you two are friends with benefits", he explained before he slurped his ramyun straight into his throat.

"friends with benefits? Mwoya(what's that?)", I blinked my eyes a few times. "aniya aniya aniya~ you shouldn't know about it, you're too innocent", Jooheon covered my ears with both of his palm.

"isn't that a normal thing for people to know?", Min-ah interrupted our talk by saying out her mind. Jooheon glared at Min-ah silently but smiled, "normal for you to know but not her". I look at Jooheon before holding his hand silently while no one was watching , "Jooheon-ii, you're hungry and you're going to eat", I grin at him. He sighed, "yes I'm hungry and I'm going to eat", he puffed out his cheek before he continued eating.

I was about to eat my favourite food but stopped myself when I realize it's cold already, I sighed to myself. "pet~ I know you're hungry too, eat mine, I'm already full", Kihyun said while pushing the kimbap to me. I pushed it away gently, "a-aniya Kihyun-ii". "ep! Don't make me force you", he narrowed his eyes at me which I pouted like a puppy in the end.

"say aah", he held the kimbap with his chopstick and held it near my mouth. I look up at him with a pout. "open up". I look away and parted my lips, he put the kimbap into my mouth, I chew it slowly, hmm... that was tastier than I expected.

My eyes sparkled in excitement while Kihyun smirked knowingly.

"do all of you have a crush on her or something? I found it rather annoying", the girl who sat next to Shownu said. Oh no you didn't. All eyes were on Min-ah after she said that. "what? Did I said something wrong?", she continued her words. I look at the boys and they had blank face, even Hyungwon was staring at her with a blank facade.

"hey guys, let's go head back to our dorm, I'm seriously annoyed being here", Wonho stood up from his seat. Kihyun nodded, "good idea". I.M stood up and stretched, "I'm sleepy, let's head back to our dorm".

"can I come too?", Min-ah intruded but Jooheon sternly answered, "no.....let's go pet", he held my wrist and pulled me to stand up and Minhyuk followed after me, so did Hyungwon.

Shownu was the last one to leave Min-ah, of course he didn't say a word at all.
