K-pop Idol Imagines - Chapter 43: Chapter 43

It was just a smile. Just a broad, sweet smile, and Wendy knew she had fallen too hard for the girl in front of her.
After her life was a whole ride of ups and downs, Wendy got to know Y/N in the end. Being in denial for too long caused this undeniable sensation inside her chest every time the girl looked at her with that dreamy gaze of hers.
Wendy knew that if she gave in to her desires, they wouldn't see the end of it. But, damn, the girl in front of her made her want to risk everything. Just to see that best angelic smile in its all glory.
"Wendy? Are you listening?"
"Huh?"
"You spaced out again. Are you okay?"
The concern in the voice gave Wendy a heart-fluttering sensation as she nodded while looking down to hide her evident blush.
"Yeah, I'm fine, Y/N. Continue what you were saying."
Y/N L/N. The girl Wendy couldn't stop thinking about. Her days and nights were filled with her thoughts of her. Whether it was her smile or it was something that she said.
Wendy was too immersed in her. Too far for her liking. Too into it like she had never before.
"Oh, here's your drink!" Y/N said as she passed on the two cups of bubble teas to Wendy.
Wendy smiled and took the cups in her hand. She sipped onto hers and let out a satisfied hum, letting Y/N know that it was good.
"I love it, "Wendy said.
Y/N gave her a bashful smile and replied with a head nod, "I'm glad you love it!"
Exchanging a small smile, Wendy walked towards her fellow member who was sitting on the couch of the lounge area. She sat beside her and handed her the cup.
"Your tea, Seul, "Wendy said as she removed the uncomfortable label of SM Entertainment around the cup and threw it in the dustbin beside her.
She took the straw in her mouth and the pearls in her drink and chewed them with a smile. Her head turned back to look at the girl that was just as sweet as that bubble tea in her hand. When Y/N smiled, Wendy's heart fluttered.
She bit her lower lip and gave her head a little nudge of shamelessness. "Damn you, Y/N."
"What are you going to do about this?" Seulgi's voice pulled Wendy out of her daydream and she looked at her best friend with raised eyebrows.
"What do you mean?" she asked, perplexed.
Seulgi sighed out loud and shook her head, saying, "You and your cute little crush on SM's employee, Wendy. What are you going to do about it?"
The realization hit her as she felt the dopamine lowering down a little in her system and a frown settling on her lips. Wendy took a sip of her drink and leaned back on the couch, thinking thoroughly.
Y/N was the first girl she ever laid her eyes on as a potential love interest. Wendy was always too focused on thinking about others first and helping them, but when Y/N came into her life, she wanted to be selfish for the first time in her life.
Wendy wanted to have Y/N all to herself, no matter what the world would say.
"Our job doesn't allow this and... the media is there too, "Seulgi added and Wendy nodded along.
"I will confess to her, "she announced after a few moments of thinking.
"Really? But, what about--"
"I understand, Seul. But, this is the first time I want someone so badly. I want to be the one she sees after waking up. I want to be the one she kisses good night to every night. I want to be the one she looks at and smiles at. I want to be the one for her, Seul, "Wendy confessed.
Her heart contracted at the overwhelming feeling she felt from inside. The way her heart jumped just by her mere imagination, Wendy couldn't help but bite her lower lip and take in a deep breath.
"Do you think she feels the same about you?" Seulgi asked, her voice soft and low while rubbing her hand on the back of her blonde friend.
Wendy buried her face in her hands and shook her head in denial, mumbling, "I don't know."
Seulgi felt a little bad and excited for her. She hadn't seen Wendy like this in her whole life knowing her. She couldn't help but internally hope that everything works her way.
"What will you do then? Do you need my help?" Seulgi asked, trying to make her friend feel a little better about her situation.
Wendy turned her head to look at her and replied, "I don't think so... I will call her to my vocal room and confess there. Thank you for asking, though."
Seulgi gave her a tight-lipped smile and said, "Anytime, Wen."
─── ･ ｡ﾟ☆: *.☽ .* :☆ﾟ. ───
It was time, Wendy thought.
She was pacing around her vocal room while staring at the wristwatch in her hand again and again. She called Y/N a few moments ago, ordering her bubble tea straight to the room.
Her nerves were acting up as she couldn't help but heave a little. The thing about confessions being so nerve-wracking was now making sense to her.
"How do people do it?" she muttered under her breath while chewing onto her fingernails in anxiety.
Wendy looked into the full body mirror that was there on the wall and checked herself. She tried to put some extra effort to look good for Y/N. Wearing her black leather jacket, white t-shirt, and ripped black jeans, she was ready to rock a red carpet.
The sudden knock on the door startled her as she turned around instantly and rushed to take the door.
"God please help, "she said before opening the door to reveal Y/N standing there with her drink in hand and the beautiful smile that had Wendy's heart pounding in her chest.
"Hey, "Wendy said, a little breathless.
Y/N stepped inside as Wendy closed the door behind them. She turned around and Y/N put her arms around her in a warm hug that caused Wendy's breath to hitch in her throat. Her face felt too warm from normal temperature and she knew she was blushing hard.
Y/N's arms were around her shoulders and Wendy's gradually slipped around her waist, hugging her close as she inhaled the fragrance of caramel and vanilla.
"Why didn't you come to the counter today?" Y/N asked as she pulled apart.
Wendy looked at her face and saw a little pout on her lips, making it too hard not to kiss it away. She cleared her throat and turned to her side, replying.
"I-I had some work today, but now you are here so."
"Yeah, well, that's not bad too. I can't hug you in front of so many people, "Y/N commented and gave Wendy's frame a side hug before handing her the cup.
"Your favorite bubble tea. On me, "Y/N said while smiling brightly.
Wendy sipped her drink and hummed in contentment. "This is so good! I love y-- I mean, I love this!"
She looked at Y/N with wide eyes, trying to decipher if she heard the slip of her tongue just a few seconds ago, and sighed in relief when Y/N didn't notice.
"So, this is where you practice with that heavenly voice of yours, "Y/N commented as she looked around the small room with just the microphone in the middle and a small table adjacent to the wall.
Wendy blushed at the compliment and scratched the back of her neck, replying, "I'm not that good, Y/N."
Y/N rolled her eyes and said, "Oh, come on. You know that your voice is amazing but you're just too humble to acknowledge it in front of me."
Wendy couldn't say anything after that. The way Y/N described here was just as accurate as she was. Always being down-to-earth and polite.
"Sing me a song, "Y/N said as she picked up one of the lyrics sheets in her hands and passed it to Wendy.
"What?"
Y/N stepped near her and repeated, "Sing me a song, Son Seung-wan."
Wendy, who looked speechless, looked at the lyrics and found that it was the song she was singing just a few moments ago.
And it was for Y/N only.
Gulping hard, Wendy kept her bubble tea aside and stood behind the microphone as she gazed at Y/N, who was looking at her with utter adoration and hope.
"Are you sure, Y/N?" Wendy asked, she was sweating inside as her palms were clammy with all the sweat.
Y/N bobbed her head in excitement and clapped slowly, saying, "Yes, please!"
Clearing her throat, Wendy picked up the lyrics sheet and sang them with utmost sincere emotions for the girl in front of her.
Your hand fits in mine like it's made just for me
But bear this mind, it was meant to be
And I'm joining up the dots with the freckles on your cheeks
And it all makes sense to me
Taking in a deep breath, Wendy's eyes met with Y/N's, and her heart thrummed inside as she continued.
I know you've never loved
The crinkles by your eyes when you smile
You've never loved Your stomach or your thighs
The dimples in your back at the bottom of your spine
But I'll love them endlessly
Y/N smiled while swaying her hands to the melody of the song. Wendy noticed a faint blush on her cheeks as she smiled while singing the next few lines.
I won't let these little things slip out of my mouth
But if I do, it's you
Oh, it's you, they add up to
I'm in love with you
And all these little things
A gushing feeling of warmth spread through Wendy's heart and she finished the lines with a sweet hum of melody. Pulling away from the microphone, she saw Y/N standing still as she was intensely gaping at her.
"Wow..." Y/N said, her voice barely above a whisper.
Wendy stifled a laugh as she stood in front of her within the range of one foot. The distance was enough to send goosebumps all over her and create the tension that was not there earlier.
"How was it?"
"It was... amazing, Wendy, "Y/N said and gave her a wide-eyed expression. "I can't get over how beautiful your voice is. Can you be my ringtone?"
Y/N laughed at her joke while Wendy stared at her as she was awestruck. The way Y/N's mouth was covered by the back of her hand and her eyes closed while laughing. It was all too unreal for her.
The adrenaline in her was pumping hard as she felt her throat getting dry. However, she was determined to confess.
And she did.
"Can I be yours instead?"
Y/N halted in between her laughing fit and snapped her head with a jerk to look at Wendy, who looked serious about it.
"W-What do you mean?" Y/N asked.
Wendy stepped forward, invading her personal space as Y/N's back was pressed against the wall behind.
"I love you, Y/N, "Wendy confessed. "I love you. No, I lurve you. I adore you. I want you. I need you. I admire you. I choose you. I... don't have more words, but I do. I do."
Her heartbeat was erratic, her throat parched, her hands were sweaty and her hopes were high. Wendy was feeling dizzy with the level of adrenaline running through her veins as she waited for Y/N to say anything.
Y/N, on the other hand, was too surprised to say anything. She stared at the blonde in front of her, panting as her cheeks flushed red. Hands tightly intertwined and sweat forming on her forehead.
She concluded that Wendy looked cute when she was dazed.
"Y-Y/N?" Wendy asked. "Say something. Anything. Please?"
Instead of answering, Y/N leaned forward and placed her lips on hers, shocking the hell out of the blonde. She gasped as she felt Y/N's sweet, soft lips moving against her. She tried to reciprocate the kiss, but Y/N was too fast to pull apart.
"You're kinda, sorta, basically, pretty much always on my mind too, Wendy, "Y/N replied and left the vocal room with a wink.
Wendy, who didn't know what happened, sank to her weak knees and ran her fingers through her hair. She took out her phone from her jacket pocket and dialed her best friend's number.
"Wendy? What happened? What did she say?" Seulgi's voice came through, pulling Wendy to reality and she smiled broadly.
"I am kinda, sorta, basically, pretty much always on her mind too, Seul, "Wendy replied.
"Huh?"
"She kissed me, Seul! She loves me too!" Wendy shouted as she laughed while punching her fist on the floor.
"Oh my god, really?!" Seulgi asked in disbelief.
Wendy laid down as she stared at the ceiling above, sighing and answered, "Kinda, sorta, basically, pretty much, yeah."
