First Meeting

cw: none || era: 2013 note: italics are Korean, normal is English

✿ Wendy loves playing a little matchmaker for her friends, not realising she probably created a future inseparable duo

“Unnie— WAIT!” Subin groaned as a smaller, yet seemingly much stronger girl dragged her through the hallways of the building.

“Stop resisting, Binnie,” she groaned as well and continued pulling the girl along.

Quickly enough, Subin felt the grip on her wrist loosen a little, but Wendy was still holding onto her securely so that she couldn’t flee. “What—”

“Oh, Wendy? What are you doing here?” A deeper, male voice sounded from just around the corner. One that Subin did recognise as familiar, but didn’t know who it belonged to. She must’ve just heard the voice a lot because the boy or man either was a trainee or worked there, but besides that Subin couldn’t say much about it.

The younger of the two girls could see Wendy grin and look up quite significantly. He must be taller. Subin noted mentally and she also clocked in that he spoke English.

“I train here, am I not allowed to be here?” she answered with a teasing tone, but before the other person could answer Wendy pulled Subin towards her and hid behind her taller frame. She held onto Subin’s shoulders to make sure she didn’t run away. “This is Subin! She’s also from Chicago!”

Subin’s eyes widened almost comically as she finally made eye contact with the tall man. His brows furrowed as he started to believe the girl wasn’t too happy to see him, but when she suddenly smiled at him, his expression softened. “Hi, I— Well, unnie told you already. I’m Subin,” she introduced herself in a mix of English and Korean and stretched out her hand welcomingly.

“I’m Johnny,” he said as he reached for her hand and gave it a quick but soft shake. “And you’re also from Chicago?”

Subin smiled sheepishly, but answered with confidence, “I lived there until I was 8, but… It’s been a few years since I was 8 so I’m pretty much just Korean.” Johnny laughed along with her, slipping in a quick compliment on speaking both English and Korean well.

“You’re still from Chicago! It doesn’t matter how long you lived there! I’m trying to find a common ground here so you can become friends!” Wendy commented with fiery excitement about two of her friends meeting. “OH! You’re both the same age!”

Johnny and Subin quickly turned to each other and confirmed their birth year, falling into more laughter afterwards. “That’s such a weird but cool coincidence,” Johnny said and Subin nodded her head. “You are a trainee here as well?”

“Yes, I just joined a few weeks ago,” she answered.

“Oh! I think I heard about you before…”

As the conversation went on, Wendy stealthily slipped away from the two new found friends, feeling that the two clicked instantly. And she was right. Subin and Johnny continued to talk for hours in the middle of the hallway — granted it was one that was only really frequented by trainees so they weren’t bothering anyone.

After a while Johnny had noticed Subin leaning against the wall and constantly readjusting her standing position. “Are you tired?” he chuckled as she let out a sigh.

“My feet are killing me,” she groaned before she smiled brightly at him. “I had a 4 hour practice before this.”

“Oh my god! Why didn’t you tell me? We could’ve gone somewhere where we could sit down to talk,” he told her with a slightly worried tone, but still Subin could only laugh and smile at him. “Do you have to be somewhere now? We could go to the cafeteria to eat, or—”

“I’d love to, but I have singing classes soon.”

Johnny nodded, helping Subin off her leaning position against the wall. “Next time?”

In response Subin nodded excitedly, earning another smile from Johnny who had found her bright disposition insanely charming. “Next time. I’m not denying a free meal for making my feet suffer for hours!” she told him as she headed towards the staircase.

“Free?!” Johnny yelled after her, but couldn’t help but smile. Even if it wasn’t a joke, he didn’t mind.

“Yes! Now I’ll see you next time!”

Without being able to say “bye”, Johnny watched Subin disappear behind the door towards the stairs. To his side he could hear a little shuffling, causing him to snap his head towards the sound. Behind the door, a pair of big eyes peered out the room. “Who was that?” A hissed whisper sounded from behind the door.

Johnny laughed before going inside to find a few other male trainees. “Subin. The new trainee,” he told them and Taeyong’s eyes widened.

“Subin? Is she like… scary like people say she is?” Yuta’s question made Johnny laugh and the thought of joking around with them crossed his mind for a second, but Johnny didn’t want to do that to Subin. It was true that when Wendy brought Subin over, he thought she’d be more like the rumours. Stiff, cold, but really good at singing and picking up dancing and rapping really fast. However, when he started to talk to her, his view of her immediately shifted. He personally didn’t want to believe the rumours, but meeting her and actually getting to know her showed how false the rumours were. Even after the first few seconds they met, when he smiled at him, he saw someone he wanted to get to know better.

“She’s nothing like the rumours. You should talk to her one day,” Johnny simply stated, causing the boys to eye each other nervously.

“Maybe… Let’s just focus on practice first,” Taeyong mumbled, trying to change the subject. He had seen Subin before. She was really pretty, though she did have a cold presence. He wanted to believe Johnny, but somehow he thought a nice trainee, who was good at everything and that pretty, was too good to be true.Johnny chuckled as he watched all his friends and co-trainees gather back in the middle of the room. “I don’t know. I have a feeling we’re all gonna be really good friends.”
