"y/n! we are parked here!" you turned around to meet younghwan waving his arms at you.
aish. it's 4 in the morning.. it's cold.. my stomach is empty.. my body is not yet ready for the day.. you walked across the street to the parking lot with heavy feet and a mild mental breakdown.
"good morning manager-nim" you tried to sound enthusiastic as you can.
younghwan's lips tugged up in a small smile knowing how you must be struggling to adjust to this kind of work "good morning to you too y/n. don't you worry, you can go back to sleep in the van on the way to the venue." he pats your back. "by the way, i'll be driving the vocal unit's van," he then pulled another person in the conversation "you will be with him, lee dongro. he is the hiphop unit's road manager."
"안녕하세요(hello) nice to meet you." you bowed at your new acquaintance. "안녕하세요(hello) so you're y/n. it's nice to finally meet you in person," his eyes curved behind his glasses.
"okay! let's start moving people!" younghwan shouted. "가자(let's go)!!" dk cheered and the rest cheered back in synch.
dongro slid the van's door for you, "감사 해요(thank you)" you smiled at him. you then faced the people inside the van "hey boys" you winked at them. "졸려 (sleepy)?" s.coups smiled at you. "because you look like you are y/n," mingyu swiped his palm over your eyes teasing you in which you returned with a death glare.
you hopped in the van scooting beside vernon at the very back. "i hope you guys don't mind, but i still have a dream to attend to," you announced that made vernon giggle his dorky laugh at you.
you were almost dozing off when the hiphop unit started to dig in their breakfast. oh shiiiiit~ that smell so goooood~ then your stomach rumbled. the boys looked at you, "sorry, was i making too much noise" you apologized with one eye open. "noona, you haven't eaten yet?" vernon faced you which only made you crave more of their breakfast. "여기(here), have my soup," wonwoo stretched his arm out to pass the soup to you. "choose a skewer," vernon handed you his packed breakfast. "want to try this keto bibimbap?" s.coups asked shyly "mingyu-yah give your water bottle to y/n and we'll share with mine instead. "그래(okay)" mingyu placed the bottle beside you. you went blank after. with food in both hands, watching the boys proceed eating makes you think, gosh i'm lucky. these boys makes everyone feel like they're part of their family. you let out a deep sigh. "noona, are you gonna eat that?" vernon teased. you pouted at him turning your body away from him and started devouring your food. "hmmmmm! 맛있어(tastes good)!"
"we have arrived!" dongro announced. you looked out the window to see yerin standing by the performance unit's van talking to dino. seungcheol slid the door open and offers his hand to you. you smiled at him and took his hand then jumped off the van. "yerin 애기(baby)!!" you shouted. as soon as yerin saw you, you two ran towards each other and hugged. "unnie, 보고 싶어용 (i missed you)" yerin whispered to you. "나도(me too) how are you? wow! today's going seventeen set looks grand!" you looked around. "they'll be playing jokgu," yerin linked her arm with yours. "jogku?" "yes unnie, foot volleyball," "aaahhh" you nodded your head in awe learning something new.
while the seventeen members settled down for their hair and makeup, you and yerin joined the crew assembly and listened attentively at you individual tasks for the day. your job today is setting up the lunch table after their game. that'll be easy peasy.
it's fifteen minutes before lunch and you were slowly completing the table set up. you're on your way back to the table carrying a box of utensils when..
"hyung 화이팅(fighting)!!" the8 cheered from the side. "pfht! i swear he'll barely make a score!" seungkwan scoffed. "don't listen to him hoshi," jun assured hoshi who was obviously nervous on making the last point for their team. "can you all just shut up and let us just finish this game? i am starving!" woozi was beginning to be impatient.
hoshi served the ball then joshua and jeonghan received it at the same time. the impact was strong that it bounced out the court's boundaries, straight to your direction. "noona!!" the maknae line shouted. somehow you were distracted by your own line of thoughts you didn't bother to pay attention at the audible commotion behind you. wonwoo happened to be at the very corner, as a fast runner he was able to reach you before the ball. "y/n!!" he stopped a foot away from you and before you could even make a full turn to face him the ball hit wonwoo's back pushing him against you.
everything happened so fast. you getting startled, wonwoo balancing himself on your shoulders, you dropping the box you were holding.. and then seeing that your faces were just inches away from each other as soon as you opened your eyes. wonwoo quickly moved away when he heard someone approaching.
"y/n 괜찮아(are you okay)?" jeonghan held onto your arm. "tsssss. yeah i'm fine hyung!" wonwoo mocked. "aigoo. that's not what i meant," jeonghan hugged wonwoo just like how he would to manage the situation. "y/n, let me help you with that" joshua started picking up the contents of the box for you. "thank you josh," you thanked lowly.
you eyed jeonghan and wonwoo slowly moving away sitting at the bleachers nearby.
he could've just let the ball hit me.. he really didn't have to.. aish.. this is going to be.. awkward.
