❝I hear the ocean from far away Across the dream, over the horizon
I'm going to the place that's getting clearer
Take my hands now,
You are the cause of my euphoria.❞

- Eunbyul's POV -

"EARTH TO EUNBYUL!"

I jumped up in shock after hearing the older one shout.

"Are you okay? We've been calling you for at least seventeen times now, and you're still spacing out!" Yeonha, who was quite worried, chuckled out.

I nodded my head.

After that night with Joshua, I can't focus on anything anymore. The little kitten, which I named him Ren from Serendipity, is currently at home on my bed after the incident.

We were walking on the school halls. The boys were probably in the practice room while the other students were still in class studying.

I'm so lucky to be in this class.

"So about the competition, Byulie, I know you were shy about working with Jihoon, but please do it. It's okay to get out of your shell once in awhile," Hyerim unnie said holding my hands tight.

After some thought, I finally nodded, receiving relieved sighs from everyone.

"Finally, thank goodness," Yeonha unnie whipped her invisible sweat making me giggle a bit.

Before we got to our class, I ditched them to go to the music room.

Been a while since I last went in here and actually playing an instrument.

I picked up the violin and started testing it. It's pretty old but still sounds good.

I played a pre-recorded song on my phone that I made the other day. I haven't written the lyrics, just the guitar keys so far.

Playing the recorded song, I started playing the violin along with it.

It sounded pretty good actually. Though, I haven't played the violin in a very long time so it sounded a little off but still pretty good!

The song I imagine is about a girl in love with someone who doesn't love her the same way.

Sounds heartbreaking, but the song is actually quite relaxing to hear after a long day.

When I was finished, I jumped at the sounds of clapping behind me.

"No wonder the school called you as the best composer," it was Jihoon.

He was smiling cutely and walking towards me with his hands in his pockets.

He sat on the piano and started testing the keys.

Then, he started singing while playing it.

Every note, every single key, they all harmonized into an amazing song.

I love it.

When he was done, he looked at me smiling.

I gave him a thumbs up, smiling back.

"Thanks, I love your song too, did you compose it yourself?" I nodded, my head hung low because I was still the shy little bit.ch.

"It's amazing!" He gave me a cute gummy smile.

I took out my phone and typed in quickly, communicating with those who don't know sign language is hard.

Thank you so much~ so... should we start with the composing?

He read it and nodded.

We sat down on the piano.

I have to admit, he is really great at this. He gives so many good ideas, and his lyrics are to die for.

I guess we don't have much differences after all.

And at least for now, I could get my mind off of what Joshua said the other night.

ווווו×

It was already 8 pm and we were both still in the music room.

We totally lost track of time. Thanks to the janitor, he told us it was late and the school was about to close any minute soon.

We thanked him and rushed out after taking our bags in our class.

Luckily, we lived in the city, so at 8 it was still bright out.

"Want some ice-cream?" He suggested.

I nodded, with a satisfied smile.

He led me to a small ice cream stall and ordered for us both. I got plain vanilla, and he got strawberry.

We sat at the bench nearby and chatted.

Never knew I would be close to him, he was always so... quiet.

He started telling me about how they all met, in a competition of some sort.

They lost and sadly got last place. But thanks to that competition, they unite and started working with each other, as a team and as a family.

I smiled at their story.

When we were done eating, Jihoon walked me home. It was already pretty late but he insisted on walking me home.

"I had a great time today, Byul," he smiled when we got to my house, "Really, it was fun."

He suddenly got shy and didn't look at me. I giggled at him, even though he was 1 inch taller than me, I patted his head with ease as I was wearing heels.

I waved him goodbye.

But before I could step into my house, he hugged me.

I hugged him back, thinking it was just a friendly gesture.

bOI was I wrong.

"You're really special to me... I never felt this way to a girl," he whispered in the hug.

After letting me go, he waved with a cheeky smile before running off.

Great, now I can't sleep well.

ווווו×

"He said WHAT?!"

I was startled by Hyerim unnie's scream over the phone.

We were facetiming because I can't call her anyways.

I laughed at her reaction and started moving my hands, Why are you even more nervous than I am?

"Because my baby is all grown up to have two guys like her at once!" She smiled over my phone.

Best friend goals? When your friend is there for you even if it's 2 in the morning. Like Hyerim unnie.

"Anyways, have you drink your medicine?" She asked concerned as if she was my mom.

I nodded.

Since I was 7, I started having severe insomnia. I rarely go to sleep at night, usually at 4 I start sleeping. But sadly for me, school starts at 7 so I usually don't sleep at all.

"Seriously Byulie, get some sleep already! I know your condition but baby at least try to sleep, we have school tomorrow!"

Hyerim unnie has always been a big sister to me. The way she calls me her baby really comforts me.

I moved my hands, seeing that she's tired, If you're tired then sleep unnie! You don't have to stay awake because of me. I'll try to catch some sleep later, promise.

"Alright then. Sleep well, baby! Bye, see you at school tomorrow~" She waved before hanging up, leaving me all alone.

Sighing, I walked downstairs.

Luna and little Ren were sound asleep. My poor babies must have been tired~

Petting Ren, I remembered what Joshua said to me a couple of days ago...

Why would he like me?

Why would anyone like me?

I'm just a mute girl with nothing special at all. I'm not pretty, nor am I funny like the other girls. I don't dress up much, sticking with a hoodie and leggings are fine with me. I don't even like wearing make-up.

What is there to like?

UGH, it's 3 am in the morning I'm over thinking things again.

What now?...

Okay internet meme time~
