Amanda plopped herself starfish style across her bed after finishing a relaxing shower and changing into her pjs. She reached for her phone from her nightstand, only to let out a defeated groan into her pillow when none of the notifications were the one she was hoping for.
She hadn’t heard a single word from Jeonghan since her impulsive confession she’d left him on his voicemail this morning (if that was even what he heard). Even after she left two new awkward voicemails and 3 text messages trying to redeem the damage she made.
Ring Ring Ring
Not sparing a second to check the caller id, she cheerfully answers, “Hannie?”
“Not exactly.” An unfamiliar female voice echoes through her phone.
Surprised by the voice she moved the phone away from her ear to see an unknown number on the screen. “Who is this?” Her cautious voice rang, fearing that another saesang had somehow gotten her number.
“Vivi. I am Hannie’s friend. Well I guess I should say I am one of his members.”
Amanda straightens her posture on her bed as if she was in front of her at this very moment, “Oh! Hi! Um, how did you get my number?”
“I might have gotten it from Jeonghan’s phone.” Vivi murmurs, “Sorry but I wouldn’t have it wasn’t serious.”
Registering the worry in the younger girl's voice, Amanda frowns, “Is everything okay?”
“It’s about Jeonghan.”
“Is he okay? Is he hurt?’
“He’s not hurt. I’m just worried about him.” Vivi attempts to calm her down, “Do you think you can come to our company?”
“Of course.” Amanda didn’t hesitate for a second. Even though she was worried about going to their company when not many people know about their relationships and it risks their relationship getting exposed, if Jeonghan was in trouble she would be there in a heartbeat.
“Thanks! Also, could you bring some food with you, too?”
Amanda awkwardly stood in front of the staff entrance door of the new HYBE building, where Vivi instructed her to wait so she could allow her in. She couldn’t help the
“Amanda!” Amanda's eyes wanders towards the sound, spotting a girl exiting the building, waving energetically at her. Amanda waves back at Vivi though she felt like hers was way more awkward.
As Vivi approaches her, Amanda notices a taller man trailing closely behind her. As they got closer, she realized it was Seventeen’s leader.
She couldn’t help but feel a little intimidated. She had always admired S.Coups as a fan. He is an incredible leader to 12 rambunctious boys but after hearing how Jeonghan talks about him, she couldn’t help but admire him more as being a loyal and true friend.
Suddenly a thought hit her, she wasn't just meeting them as a hoobaenim and fan but as Jeonghan’s potential girlfriend. She had to make an acceptable first impression especially now that she is clear about taking the next step in her relationship with him.
Vivi beams, “It’s nice to finally meet you. I would hug you but social distance and all.”
Amanda smiles at Vivi’s affable aura that was somehow able to ease her jitters, “You too.”
“Thanks to Yuki I feel like I kind of already know you.”
“Who knew we would end up meeting without her help.”
“We should send her a pic of us together so-” Vivi was interrupted by S.Coups clearing his throat. “Ah! Sorry oppa. Amanda, this is our leader S.Coups.”
Amanda gave a polite bow. “Nice to meet you, sunbaenim.”
“Please, no need for the formalities. Just call me S.Coups.” S.Coups kindly assures her. “Thank you for coming here so late.”
“It’s totally fine. It sounded urgent. What exactly is going on?” Amanda asks the leader.
“It’s probably better to show you instead.”
Following the SVT’s oldest and youngest through the building, she kept fidgeting with her mask and pulling her hat further down to cover more of her face to prevent getting recognized.
“You don’t have to worry about being seen.” Seungcheol’s voice broke Amanda’s train of thought, “Us, Jeonghan and a few staff are the only ones here. Well and Woozi, but he probably won’t be coming out of his studio anytime soon.”
“But if you are still worried you can just say you are here to see your new friend, Vivi.” Vivi adds. Feeling assured, Amanda struts a little more confidently through the building, taking in the different features of the building.
“He’s in there.” Vivi gestures to the door where music was booming from. Amanda peeks through the glass door to spot Jeonghan dancing along to the rhythm of music. His body movements were more aggressive than the beat of music would allow and although his body looked drained, his eyes were burning with passion.
“He hasn't come out since early this morning. No break, snacks, nothing.” Vivi tells her.
“You're kidding?” She dumbfoundedly asks as the duo shook their heads. “No wonder he hasn't replied yet.” She mumbles.
S.coups raises an eyebrow, “Sorry?”
“Nothing. Um, so why is he being like this?”
“We’ve been practicing the new choreo for our comeback and Jeonghan has been struggling with it. Our dance director yelled at him. He’s being too hard on himself. He needs a distraction right now and we figured if he’s not going to listen to us or the other members, maybe he will with you.” S.coups explains.
Stunned by his words, she stammers, “M-Me?”
“You do know how much he likes you right? He never shuts up about you.” The leader exposes.
“It’s true.” Vivi chimes in, “I swear Jeonghan oppa has talked more about you in the last couple of months than Yuki has in the past 3 years. I still can’t believe the girl he had been talking nonstop about was you.”
“If you could just try for us, we would be grateful.”
Amanda nods, “But I still don’t know if it will be any help.”
“At least we can say we tried.” The leader gratefully says.
“Oh wait! I brought extra food for you too.” Amanda hands Vivi a plastic container of food from the bag. “I don’t know if you are on a diet or not-”
“Luckily, I am not, so I will enjoy it. Thank you.” Vivi graciously accepts the container.
Amanda glances at S.Coups, “I would have brought you some too if I had known you were here too.”
S.Coups fondly smiles at her thoughtfulness, “Don’t worry she will end up having leftovers for me to eat anyways.”
“Not this time. I will definitely eat all of this.” Vivi proclaims, holding the container closer to her.
S.coups scoffs, “You say that everytime.”
Vivi rolls her eyes, unable to argue back, “Fine. I guess I will give you some.”
“Thanks.” He sarcastically says.
She returns her attention back to Amanda, “I have to ask, Amanda. Why do you like Jeonghan oppa? He’s not exactly the-“
“Ignore her.” The eldest covers her mouth with his hand before she could finish destroying any kind of relationship between Jeonghan and Amanda, “Good luck. Let us know if you need anything.”
Amanda giggles as S.coups drags his younger member away. She sneaks into the dance studio. Jeonghan was so concentrated on the choreography that he didn’t even notice the girl he likes walking in.
She spots the stereo and turns the knob to the off, only for Jeonghan to whirl around and see her. He blinks a couple of times to make sure the exhaustion hadn’t made him start imagining things, “Amanda? What are you doing here?”
“Making sure you take a break.”
After hearing her voice cueing him it was really her, he didn’t waste a second as he darts towards her and envelopes her in a hug, “Did my members call you?”
She nods into the hug, “S. Coups and Vivi.”
“I guess I should thank them later.”
She pulls away and waves the bag, “I brought you some food. Care to spare me a couple of minutes?”
“Let me try one more time and then I will.” He promises.
Though she did believe he would stop like he promised, it wasn’t the answer she wanted. As a pro dancer, Amanda could tell his body wouldn't be able to handle anymore of the intense movements.
She shrugs her shoulders before sitting against the wall, “Fine. Then I’ll just stay and watch until you're ready.”
Jeonghan couldn’t ignore the scheming glint in her eyes and her nonchalant behavior, something he knew all too well. And when she began to pull out the food from the bag, his suspicions were becoming more accurate. “I thought that food was for me?”
Amanda innocently raises her eyebrows, “It will get cold waiting for you and you know I don’t like to waste food. Plus I did drive all the way here in the middle of the night so I deserve some for myself.”
Now that he got a better look at her, he could distinguish that her dyed dirty blonde hair hidden behind her cap was damp, clearly meaning she rushed over here after taking a shower without drying her hair.
A loud growling coming from his stomach, snapped him out of his thoughts. Amanda’s lips twitch at the sound, attempting to contain her laugh.
“What did you bring?” He succumbs. A satisfied smile appears on her face as she hands him some of his favorite foods.
After the two munched on their meal, they continued to rest in the dance practice room. Jeonghan's head gently laid on her lap as she mindlessly twirls strands of his light chocolate colored hair that had been dangling across her lap.
He plays around with the tips of her fingers of her free hand as he decides to ask the burning question that had been on his mind, “Why haven’t you asked me about it yet?”
“I figured you’ll tell me when you want to.”
There were a few seconds of lull before he murmurs, “I don’t want to let them down. They have been waiting for me to figure this out.”
“Hannie.” She softly gazes down into his eyes, “You are doing great and your members know that. All they want you in the best shape to perform and you can’t be in the best shape if you overwork yourself. So don’t make them worry….or me.”
Jeonghan sat up, placing an affectionate kiss on the back of her hand, “Thank you for coming and I’m sorry for making you worry.” A teasing grin emerges on his lips as whispers, “But then again, it did get you to come see me. Maybe I should make you worry more often.”
“Don’t even think about it.” Amanda lightly pushes his head back with her fingers before he could connect his lips with her, triggering the boy to sulk. “Since you’re done eating, I’ll clean this up while you go ahead and shower because no offense but you stink.” She dramatically waves her hand over her nose.
Now it was his turn to have a menacing gleam in his eyes, “Oh really?”
Wary by his expression, Amanda begins to scoot away from him, but his arm swiftly wraps around her waist and tugs her into him as he devours her face with kisses. She giggles in between while attempting to shove him away. He stops, “Be careful what you say next time.”
“I’ll think about it.” She teases.
He lets out an enamored laugh as he places one last little peck on her temple, “I’ll quickly wash up and I’ll drive you back to your dorm.”
She hums in response with a smile before he heads out the door with his things. Once he was finally out, she erupts into a little fit of giggles, “Cute.”
As she tidies up, she remembers that she has to talk to him about taking the next step in their relationship. But is now really the best time to talk about it? Though it outwardly seemed that his stress has lessened, she could tell he was still worried about his performance. But she needs to talk to him about it before he hears whatever she left on that voicemail.
The sound of the dance studio door opening, diverted her train of thought as she saw Jeonghan enter.
“If you are ready-” Her sentence was interrupted by him swallowing her up into a firm, warm embrace, nuzzling his head into her neck. Though slightly confused by his sudden action, she didn’t hesitate to wrap her arms, “What happened?”
“Nothing. I just wanted to hug you.” He mumbles into her neck.
“Okay,” She smiles as begins to stroke his hair. Her thoughts wander if now is the best time to bring it up, “Hannie.”
“Hmm?”
“I want to make things official between us.” She mustered up the courage to finally ask only for it to come out quieter than she anticipated.
He pulls away to stare at her, “What was that?”
“Nothing.” She sadly mutters with her courage depleting away.
He frowns as he tilts his head, “You sure?”
“No, actually. Hannie, I wanted to tell you that I am ready to make things official between us.” She confidently declares before flusterly re, “I-I mean, if of course you want-”
“Oh, I want to.” He clearly emphasizes as he cheekily grins, “So it’s okay to officially call you my girlfriend?”
She coyly nods, “And it’s okay to officially call you my boyfriend?”
“I would be honored.”
“Oh, I accidentally called you earlier today and left a voicemail. It basically said what I just said so you can just delete it-”
“Oh? You mean this one?” He pulls out his phone.
“I like Jeonghan….I really like him. I guess being away fro-”
Mortified, she exclaims, “You already heard it?”
“And saved it as my ringtone for you.” He amusedly adds with a devilish smirk that Amanda wanted to wholeheartedly wipe off his face.
“Give me that!” She whines as she tries to pry his phone out of his hand but ultimately failing as his extra four inches of height and long arm made it almost impossible for her to reach it. All while the voicemail resonates throughout the dance studio and he relishes the moment.
Eventually she gives up and pouts,“I want to revoke what I said and not date you anymore.”
“Sorry, sweetie but it’s too late to go back now.”
->bonus:
Later Jeonghan enters his dorm room after dropping Amanda off, to be greeted by his fellow 95er laying on the couch, watching tv and eating as if it was his own dorm, “Welcome back.”
“In case you have forgotten, your dorm is down the hall.” He replies as takes a seat next to him.
“Thank you so much for reminding me.” S.Coups dryly says, making Jeonghan grin, “I came to make sure you actually came home. Which you have, meaning calling Amanda was the right decision.”
“I can’t thank you enough for that. Since Amanda is now my girlfriend.” Jeonghan smugly announces with a joyful smile.
S.Coups pats his back, “Congratulations!”
“Thank you.” Jeonghan glanced at the food in S.coups hand, “Did you get that food from our fridge? Because you are going to have to pay us back for it.”
“No, this is food from your girlfriend. She was kind enough to bring food for Vivi and I.”
Jeonghan smiles, “That definitely sounds like her.”
“I like her. She’s a sweet girl, so don’t ruin it.” His leader warns him.
“Promise.” Jeonghan earnestly swears.
