"Yah! Haruto!"
I looked at the tall guy in front of me angrily as he was giving me that playful smile of his. It was early in the morning, and he was already pestering me. All I wanted to do was have a peaceful morning inside the studio, but I was shocked to see him inside too. And believe me when I said that I did my best to get out of the studio, but what Haruto wants, Haruto gets.
He wanted me to stay in the studio, so I don't know how he did that, but yeah. I was now finally stuck in here with him.
And now, we've been having small arguments, that I just chose to ignore him, since if this continues, I wouldn't be able to do something. But then what I still ended up with him getting my notebook where I would usually write my song lyrics.
"Give me my notebook back," I ordered him, teeth gritted as I watched him look at me with that smirk of his. How I wanted to wipe that smirk off his face once I got my notebook.
"No, if I give this back, then you'll leave me."
I looked at him when he said those words before letting out a scoff. Where did he get that thought? Is he crazy?
"I'm not going anywhere, dumbass." I tried to reason out, as I'm now just looking at my fingers instead of him. Haruto lets out a deep breath, before finally letting go of my notebook and placing it on top of my hand. I looked at him, and just gave him a smile, and he did too before he gently pets my hair.
I wanted to ask him why he does this. And how we all started. It was like we were finally in the middle line of friendship and a little bit of romance ever since that hug happened back in our dorm. It was as if we're now playing near the fire, not too far but not too close to get hurt. It was like we knew we'd get hurt, so we're playing cautiously, in hopes of it not making the ending of this scene much more painful.
"What are you writing?" he asked, as he's now back to looking at the computer in front of him. I eyed him curiously, because from what I heard he's always with Asahi or Yoshi sunbaenim's studio whenever he wants to write something, so what is this boy doing here?
"Just some lyrics that my group can hopefully use someday," I answered him, before closing my notebook and just decided to watch him work.
Staring at him, I realized how handsome he really is. I would never deny how gorgeous he is. He by far is the most good looking guy I have ever met, it's actually crazy that someone so handsome, talented and kind hearted exists. Like, he's really God's favorite!
I watch how his eyes were trained to the computer's screen, he's actually wearing glasses that really suits him very well, he looks like a student with those glasses on. I rested my chin on my palm as I stared at him. He really looks handsome when he's serious with doing music. His hands were typing so fast, his long fingers doing all the work, and I must admit that his veiny hands are also attractive. Dang, why is everything about him so attractive? His side profile is also perfect.
"Quit staring, or else I'll melt."
His deep voice said that made me stop staring at him, before biting my lower lip, a habit I do whenever I get caught from doing something I shouldn't be doing. I can feel heat spreading through my cheeks because I just realized that Haruto caught me staring at him. So embarrassing!
"I'm not staring!" I pointed out, trying so much not to sound guilty, but terribly failed, as I glanced at him, but I could only fight back a squeal when Haruto smirked, before looking at me. I gulped, because the space between us was so close, our nose might actually touch if someone would move. My breathing hitched as I wait for what he's going to do next.
"Let's just write something, is that okay?" he asked, as he got a paper and a ballpen behind me. I was now trapped in his arms as he gets those things, his face near my cheeks as he moved forward. I gulped once more, and I even felt my heart beating so loudly, to the point that I was so scared because of how close Haruto and I are, he might hear it.
"Here, let's write something. And make sure that I'll get to do the high note, alright?" Haruto reminded me, his deep voice booming as he said that he wanted to do the high note. I let out a scoff, before snatching the paper from his hand.
"Do you really have to do that? When you could've just asked me to get these paper and ballpen to you, stupid."
Haruto chuckled at what I said, before looking at me again with those pretty eyes of his. He really needs to stop looking at me like that, it makes me feel all tingly inside. Like, it makes me happy and excited at the same time. It was a feeling I really couldn't describe, but it really makes me feel happy.
"Because I want to," he reasoned out nonchalantly, before ordering me to write some words on the blank paper.
"What are we going to write about?" I asked him, and I thought it would take him a few minutes to answer, but he immediately gave me an answer. But of course, he's Haruto so his answer really wasn't much of help.
"Let's talk about my handsomeness," he answered me before doing that handsome pose thingy that he learned from Hiraya eonnie, since that pose was originally from Hiraya eonnie's country, and was then popularized in our country, South Korea by idols.
I took the ballpen, and hit him with it, making him pout. I glared at him, trying to tell him using my eyes that I was being serious, so with a sigh, he stopped playing around before he finally gave me something that we could write about.
"How about young love?"
I paused for a minute when I heard his answer. Young love, huh? I let out a small smile, before nodding. It would be alright to write about this since I'm sure as hell the company would never release it. They're very picky with what their artists release, so I'm sure whatever me and Haruto will write on this blank paper would be just a forgotten song just like all those songs that were never released made by our sunbaenims and other songwriters in our company.
I was able to write a few lines, because I can actually relate to our topic. Young love. I'm not sure if it's what I'm experiencing right now, because I never truly felt what love actually feels like. But all I know is that I'm happy. I'm happy with Haruto.
"Let's not write it as something happy though," I told him, since I really don't write songs like that. Haruto nodded, before giving me the lines he wrote on a separate sheet of paper.
(the lyrics are from taemin's song "2 kids" i hope you can listen to it, it's really good and spoiler: the lyrics of 2 kids tells a lot about what will happen to nothing near clarity)
Even if it hurts whenever you breathe in
Leave me alone, let me be alone
Just to miss you even in regret
Leave me alone
"Dang, who hurt you, bro?" I asked him in a joking manner, making Haruto roll his eyes at me because of what I said.
"But seriously, this is good. Your Korean is really improving," I praised him, and I saw how a faint smile escaped his lips making me smile too.
Not knowing it was our last
To the end I tried to argue with you
When looking back, it was nothing
Why couldn't I put my ego aside?
I was nervous as Haruto was reading the lyrics I made. I was even biting my nails, a habit I promised to stop, so when he saw me doing that, he immediately put all the things he's holding onto the table before gently holding my hand. I bit my lower lip, feeling guilty that I did that even though I already told myself that I shouldn't be doing it.
"Hey? Are you nervous?" he asked, his deep voice was soothing, especially if he talks to me like this. I can fall asleep if he just talks like this to me.
"Kind of? I was nervous that you might not like the lyrics I wrote," I told him honestly. And I noticed that I had become more honest with him, and so was he with me. It's like our bond became closer, and I was actually very glad. I was so glad to finally have someone beside me that I can be honest with. No need to hide what I truly feel, because Haruto doesn't judge me.
"You don't have to, okay? Not around me. You can always be comfortable around me, especially when you're doing something you love. Nothing to be nervous about, shorty."
Haruto was rubbing his thumb on my hand as he said those words, and indeed I am now calm. I look at him, and I can't help but wonder what I did in my past life to deserve someone like him. He's just so kind and understanding. As a friend of his, I can say that I'm lucky to be able to meet someone like him.
"Okay," I whispered, and slowly he let go of my hand, so that we could write lyrics again.
The heavy atmosphere was gone, and we were back to our playful selves once more, that it doesn't seem like we're writing a sad song right now.
We were just 2 kids, too young and dumb
Young, dumb and clumsy hearts
Hold them tight on that particularly sad day
You and I, you and I
Wishing you would hold me but I pushed you
Saying the words "I'm sorry" was Uhm
2 kids, too young and dumb
If I endured everything, would it be different?
You and I
Haruto and I worked on the chorus together, and all I can say is that it was great. The lyrics were something anybody who experienced their heart breaking because of their first loves would be able to relate to these lyrics. Too bad that I have a feeling that this would never be released.
"Gosh! I'm such an awesome writer," Haruto exclaimed, before stretching his arms. I know he was joking, so I decided to ride his joke so his effort wouldn't be wasted.
"What about me?" I asked, trying to sound disappointed at him, but he just gave me the side eyes before saying, "You did awesome too, I guess."
"You bitch, I was even the one who corrected your Korean grammar!" I screamed at him, and was even to hit him on his face because of his response, but he only lets out a laugh because of my reaction.
"You're really cute when you're angry, that's why I enjoy teasing you," Haruto tried to reason out, but that only made me glare at him. Who even looks cute when they're angry? Don't people look scary if they are being angered?
"Shut up!" I told him, before rolling my eyes and I started to clean my things, so that I could go back to my group's dance practice room.
"Are you leaving already?" he asked, and he sounded disappointed, but I decided not to fall for it. He just enjoys teasing and distracting me.
"You think?" I answered back sarcastically, but I was shocked when Haruto grabbed my arm, and then he did what I thought he'd never do.
"Please don't leave Ruru alone or else he'll cry," he said, his voice turning a pitch higher, because of what he's doing. Aegyo.
I poked my cheek using my tongue, as I fought the urge to just slap him in the face hard. Why would he act cute in front of me? That was just horrific! He's really out of his mind!
"Let go!" I ordered, before trying to shove his hand away, but he only tightened it around my arm, but not enough to hurt me. And that's when he started to act cute again, in hope of it making me stay longer, but he didn't know that what he's doing just makes me want to leave this studio faster.
"Don't get angry at Ruru, or Ruru will be sad! Hmph!"
"Yah! Shut up!" I warned him, his point finger on top of his lip as he acts cute. He was about to do it again, but I immediately covered his mouth, but of course, that didn't stop him from talking. I glared at him, but he still kept on talking using that higher pitched voice of his, and it only makes me want to just knock him out so he'll stop.
"Goodness gracious! How come I'm even friends with you?" I asked exasperatedly, before finally uncovering his mouth,
"You're friends with me, because I'm awesome and adorable, don't you think so, noona?" Haruto reasoned out, his voice was still that high pitched one, making me groan out loud since he was still not done teasing the hell out of me.
But when he started to talk cutely again, I immediately covered it back, this guy even had the guts to call me noona when he's months older than me. Our position right now is quite scandalous, and I'm sure that the door to this studio wasn't locked, so I'm afraid someone might come in and think of it in a different way.
I was standing while my upper body was bent down, while Haruto was kneeling in front of me as I was covering his mouth using my hand. Our faces were also close to each other, but I only gave him a glare, since if it weren't for his bratty attitude, then we wouldn't be in this position. I just hope nobody comes inside, or else we'll both be doomed.
And when I just said that I was hoping that hopefully no one would enter, the door to this studio slowly opened, and even before I could change my position, the person was already inside. I was just glad he was able to close the door immediately, or else other people from outside would have seen our position too.
"Oh my coffee!" Asahi sunbaenim exclaimed, I even saw that he's still on his segway, the segway almost all the treasure members would use whenever they're too lazy to move around this big company, and he was also holding coffee on his hand and other to his chest after seeing our position. I immediately moved away from Haruto.
And when I thought Haruto would finally stop since someone already saw us, I was dead wrong.
"Asahi hyung! Tell Stella noona that she hurt Ruru, and I want her to apologize to Ruru now," Haruto exclaimed, and even ended his statement with a pout. I grimaced at what he did, and I even saw Asahi sunbaenim looking at him questioningly, as if he was judging Haruto just by his stares.
"Apologize to him, he wouldn't stop, he once did that to Jeongwoo, and he had nightmares because of it," Asahi sunbaenim told me seriously, but I just let out an incredulous laugh because of what he said. Apologize? Me? To Haruto? Never.
"Just stop, Haruto." I told him, before deciding to just leave, but I was shocked when Haruto grabbed me and I was engulfed in a hug, and then I felt his warm arms. It makes me want to forget about leaving this studio and just stay in his arms instead of going to practice.
"Take good care of yourself, hm?" he reminded me, as he was combing my hair using his fingers as we were still hugging each other. I wrapped my arms around his waist, as his hands were busy playing with my hair.
"I'm still here, in case y'all forgot!" Asahi sunbaenim exclaimed, his face blank as he sipped from his cup of coffee, and his blank expression actually made me laugh. Now I get why he's being called a robot by his members, he really does resemble how a robot's face looks like with that blank face of his.
"Go and practice, make your debut soon so you'll join me and we'll record the song we wrote earlier, hm?" Haruto said in a whisper, before letting go from the hug and even giving me a wave. I also waved at him, as I was smiling, because what Haruto said just made me even feel more motivated to achieve my dream of debuting. So, I also told Asahi sunbaenim that I'll be going.
When I was finally outside the studio, I was then able to let out the deep breath I couldn't release earlier. My heart was still thumping so loudly, I could actually feel it. I even took my phone out and checked my reflection, and much to my dismay, my cheeks were flushed! And I'm sure Haruto noticed them because we were so close to each other earlier.
I just pushed these thoughts aside, and just went inside the elevator, and I was glad when I saw Nari eonnie also going inside the elevator. But what shocked me was when she gave me a playful smile, before showing me her phone.
In her phone, was a picture of me and Haruto hugging each other, and I only know one person who's the culprit. It's no other than Asahi sunbaenim! I let out a groan, and I even tried to get Nari eonnie's phone so that I could delete the photo, but she just held it close to her.
"You two really looked like you're close friends, huh?" she asked, as she scrolled through her phone. I whined at what she just said, but Nari eonnie just chuckled at my reaction.
"The two of you are the topic in the group chat of the J-line in YG entertainment," she told me, before showing me what's going on in their group chat she has with Mashiho sunbaenim, Yoshi sunbaenim, Asahi sunbaenim, Hiraya eonnie and Haruto.
And what shocked me was when Haruto asked Asahi sunbaenim for a better version of the photo to make it his lockscreen. I felt myself panic because of it, scared because what if his fans saw what's on his lockscreen? This boy really is crazy!
"Young love, how disgusting." Nari eonnie commented, so I just rolled my eyes at her, but deep down I could feel my insides getting all excited, and my heart was never relaxed, I was even afraid that my cheeks would turn color red again, because of what I just read.
"Yeah, you're right. Young love, how disgusting," I muttered, but deep down I know all too well that this feeling was far from disgusting.
It was actually by far the best feeling I felt ever since, and it was all because of him. . . Haruto Watanabe.
to be continued. . .
I'll try to update more! To those who patiently waited, you don't know how grateful I am for you, guys! Ilysm <3
