Sweetie

7 days. Its been 7 days since what happened, and sadly things were still the same, except with Jeongin and Felix of coure. The boys noticed how she was being totally normal with the two, and they weren't stupid too, he noticed how she was being normal with Hyunjin and Seungmin too, everyone knew that Jeongin and Felix already apologized to her, but no one knows what happened with Hyunjin and Seungmin.

Chan. The boy thought he was doing the right thing, but here he is regretting keeping everything a secret from the girl, regretting hurting her like this, and even though his situation wasn't as bad as Minho or Changbin and Jisung, he knew that she was mad at him. He was hurt. He felt jealous that she was being nice with some of the boys, but not him. He promised himself to always protect and never hurt her. He still remembers the first day she came, when he promised her to always take care of her, when he promised that she'll never feel alone. He wasn't planning to hurt her more than that. 

He knocked on the door twice, before opening it. The girl was too focused on the dance that she didn't even notice him entering the practice room. He waited for her to finish dancing, not wanting to annoy her more than she already was. Mid the song, Suri noticed Chan behind her, causing her to stop what she was doing. She walked over to the speakers, pausing the song. 

"For how long have you been standing there?" 

"That day, at the hospital. Uh- You called me Chan." The boy ignored her question. He had both his arms behind his back, as he made eye contact with Suri. The girl looked at him confused. 

"Excuse me?" 

"You called me Chan." 

"Yeah, That's your name, if I'm not wrong." Chan shook his head. The girl was more than confused and Chan wasn't helping her. 

"You never call me Chan. For you I'm Chris. I don't like it when you call me Chan. I didn't like it when you called me Chan, that day." The girl gave him an annoyed face, walking over to her bag, giving him her back. 

"Is this your way of saying sorry?" 

"No, of course not. I'm saying how mad I am, because you called me Chan-" 

"Chan, because its your-" 

"Uh-Uh here we go again with the Chan shit." 

"What the hell are you talking about, why are you making a big deal of this?" 

"Because you never call me Chan." By the now the boy was becoming annoyed with her, and she couldn't help but laugh at how serious he was, even though she promised herself to be more tough with him, but that was normal Chan, he wasn't trying to make her feel guitly for something she did, but he usually got mad at the weirdest little things. 

"Okay, I'm sorry, I guess." Suri let out another laugh, not really surprised that this is how Chan was trying to say sorry or break the ice with her. 

"I'm sorry, I guess-" Chan signed for her to continue, but it took her a while to understand what he wanted to say. 

"I'm sorry, I guess, Chris?" Suri kinda questioned her answer, but the nod Chan gave her made her smile, but she quickly turned away from him again, not wanting him to see the smile on her face. 

"Okay, I-I'm sorry." Suri turned to look at him again. "I was a big asshole, I should have handled the situation better, I should have smacked the boys' butts, and locked them in the room with handcuffs-" 

"That's kinky-"

"I'm trying to apologise here." Chan sent the girl a glare, but he let out a small laugh when he heard her laugh too.

"Okay, I'm sorry." Suri wasn't even sure who was saying sorry to who by now, but again that was a Chan thing.

"As I was saying, I'm sorry for not being the best leader, I'm sorry for not being the friend and brother I promised to be." Things were turning more serious now. Suri let out a soft sigh as she heard what Chan had to say, after 8 days of silence. 

"I should have done things better, Shouldn't have kept any secrets from you, gosh how much I hate how things turned. You know that day when you talked about how we weren't protecting you or standing up for you the right way? That shit broke me, because I realized I was failing as the Chris you always knew. I wasn't your Chris the past few months, I was so lost without you and I realized how you were always the one picking me up when I'm about to fall, you were always the one to guide me through the way not the other way around, and that wasn't what I promised you when you first came. I put all my problems and trouble on you, never realized that you had yours too. I'm sorry, Rian."

"You guys are making me fucking cry a lot now." Chan walked over to the younger girl, wiping her tears with his sleeves. 

"I know, I'm sorry." Suri wiped his tears with her own sleeve, but Chan pulled away groaning. 

"That's fucking sweaty, Suri." 

"I was practicing, what do you think its going to be." Both of them laughed while tears were running down their face. Chan couldn't help but pull the girl into a hug, squeezing her between his arms. 

"I thought I was sweaty." 

"You're my sweetie." The younger girl, groaned pushing the boy away from her, smacking his arm. 

"That's disgusting, Chan go away."  

"Here we go again with Chan. you have to call me Chris." 

"Who said so?" 

"I said so." The two of them were screaming at each other by now, but at least they were happily screaming at each other.
