More than a Fan | SEVENTEEN FF [ON-HOLD]

Chapter 28

JIEUN

I slowly opened my eyes and the first thing that greeted me is the blue-ish ceiling. Right, I slept because my fever was high.

I felt something on my forehead so I thought about getting it. I was about to grab the thing when I noticed my hands were laced with someone's hands. Huh?

My cheeks heated up when I saw the person I'm holding hands with.

"Mingyu?"

I don't know why he kept doing this. His actions and words are.. flattering me. And I hate it because I'm falling hard. I'm a fan, of course I'll be falling hard.

I flinched when the grip on my hands tightened and I can see how those big fingers adjusted just to fit in. Tell me, who wouldn't fall for a flirt like him?

Slowly, he opened his eyes and looked around and stopped when we met gazes. I guess he noticed his hands intertwining with mine so he let go.

'I like his touch...'

"A-are you okay? Do you need water? Anything?" He asked.

I chucked at his cuteness and sat up. Mingyu, really. "I'm fine, Gyu." I slightly bowed at him. "Thank you for taking care of me."

I saw how his cheeks went red and his eyes looking away. "Uhh, you're our manager so we'll take care of you too."

'Manager. Right.'

"You should go back to your room. Don't worry, I'm not sick anymore." He looked at me. "Your whole existence is already healing me." I said and he chuckled. Wow, I'm so cringey.

"Then, I'll be glad to stay by your side forever." 'Mingyu? You're forgetting? I'm a fan? Of you???'

"Wow," The only thing that slipped out of my mouth. "You s-should go now."

He stood up and fixed his shirt. "Take care." He turned around and started to walk.

I want to ask him why his hands were intertwining with mines.

"Gyu?"

"Yeah?" He stopped walking but remained facing the door.

'Why did you hold my hands?'

"Thank you."

"No biggies." By that, he exited my room.

I grabbed the glass filled with water on my night stand and drank it.

MINGYU

When I closed the door of Jieun's room, I sighed and held my chest. My heart is beating fast.

'Is it really true?'

"Gyu?" I turned to the person who called me and found out it was Wonwoo.

"Yes, hyung?" I answered and walked towards him.

"Was just gonna ask you if Jieun's doing fine." He said and scratched his nape.
