You still say, love is a game
You tell me but you're voice is shaking
Past the playful eyes
I see you, not knowing what to do.

7:57 a.m.

Wonwoo went to the front door to wait for Yeonha.

His heart was racing, just the slightest thought of Yeonha could make him go out of his mind, and yet they were about to go shopping together, just the two of them.

And to make things better, they were going to a pool supply store, where bikinis and bathing suits are at.

"Hopefully I won't have a nose bleed screwing everything up..." Wonwoo mumbled to himself.

Right then, Yeonha appeared in front of him, smiling excitedly.

"Ready to go?" She asked.

Wonwoo nodded in return, he was too shy to mutter a single word.

On the way to the store, they spoke quite casually. Yeonha started most of the conversations.

Soon enough, they reached their destination.

Yeonha linked arms with Wonwoo and led him inside. The poor guy almost panicked when they made contact.

They walked around the store, picking out a bunch of floaties and towels.

Before checking out at the counter, Yeonha dragged Wonwoo to the bathing suit department.

Yeonha picked out a bunch of swimsuits for her and for the other girls.

"Are you sure you'd want to buy for the girls? They might not fit them," Wonwoo asked.

"Nah, I'm sure they'll fit. I remembered their measurements and heights," Yeonha shrugged while looking at the sizes of the clothes, "I have a pretty good memory when it comes to numbers."

Afterwards, she chose a bathing suit and tried it on while Wonwoo was praying to himself, mumbling "Please don't have a nose bleed."

When Yeonha came out from the changing room, Wonwoo was frozen.

"Holly... fuck..." Wonwoo accidentally spat out and immediately covered his mouth.

"Does this look good? Or should I get that green one?" Yeonha asked, ignoring Wonwoo's red cheeks.

Never in Wonwoo's life has he loved the color purple so much as he does now.

He shook his head rapidly, "No no, this one looks the best, you look stunning," and he regretted ever saying that outloud.

Yeonha grinned, "Then purple it is."

And little did Wonwoo know, she did everything on purpose. Behind that changing room door, the girl was doing a victory dance.

The 95 liners went to a decor shop. There were colorful lights and even scented candles.

"This is the place for me~" Hyerim chirpped, the girl loved scented candles and warm toned lights.

In the corner of the room there were even a wine shelf. What kind of store is this?! Is this even a decor shop? Are those wine real???

"Hey we should buy some wine," Hyerim smiled pointing at the shelf.

Joshua stepped up from behind and smacked the girl's head, "Drink water, child."

"Yah, I'm the same age as you!" She hissed in pain.

"You're one day younger than me," he smirked.

"Bitch," and yet she received another smack from Jisoos himself.

Jeonghan shook his head at the two of them, but then he noticed his other dear friend wasn't having a good time.

"Cheol, you okay?" He whispered softly.

"Does it look like I'm okay?" Seungcheol replied with his voice lowered.

The two were best friends so Jeonghan could easily tell what was wrong.

"They're just friends Cheol, she's not yours yet so calm your ass down," Jeonghan patted his back, "And we both know too well that Josh is in love with Little Byul, relax and just enjoy the day."

And Jeonghan could always calm Seungcheol down with just some simple words.

"Yeah whatever," Seungcheol smiled.

Hyerim was walking around the store while the two boys talked to each other. She found loads of cute and fun stuff for the party.

She chose this purple-ish blue lighting with a bunch of floating lavender scented candles.

"Okay checkout time guys, who's paying?" Hyerim glimpsed a smile at the boys.

Joshua and Jeonghan immediately pointed at Seungcheol, the poor leader.

"Oh and while you two check out, me and Jeonghan will buy some coffee. Meet us back home, kay?" Joshua grinned and dragged Jeonghan out of the store.

Once they got out, Jeonghan whispered, "You heard what we said in there?"

"I'm not as deaf and clueless as the girls so yes, every single word," Joshua shrugged and the two sprinted to the cafe.

Meanwhile in the shop, Seungcheol was cursing under his breath at his two 'best friends' for leaving him alone with his fucking crush.

The air was silent, they said nothing to each other.

After paying, they walked back to Auntie Yae's.

Hyerim, for the first time in so long, spoke up to break the silence, "You know, you guys should stop thinking us girls being clueless."

Seungcheol was obviously surprised by her statement.

She then continued, "I heard what you guys said in there, ya know?"

"You did?!" The poor guy chocked on his saliva.

"Seriously, I know we're pretty but come on! We got eyes and ears, too!" Hyerim exclaimed, looking into Seungcheol's eyes, but soon fixed her statement, "Well... all except Eunbyul."

"Then why have you been ignoring me? Why have you been quiet all this time? You knew how much I like you but yet you acted like nothing happened! You all knew!"

Surprised by Seungcheol's sudden outburst, Hyerim stopped her tracks and looked at him. He was fuming.

"Just reject me and I'll try to get over it," he tried calming down, "It'll be the most difficult thing I'll have done but it's better than seeing you so quiet about it."

Hyerim looked down on the paved road, her lips were shaking. He confessed again...

"I've just," she paused and sighed deeply, "never been in a situation where the person I like confessed to me first."

Seungcheol froze at her confession.

There was definitely something going on with boys freezing today, Elsa on the loose maybe?

And before he could mutter a single word, Hyerim ran off, leaving him dumbfounded.

But this time, he was overly happy with her response.

"You two wanna take a break? You've been cleaning the pool for hours now," Mingyu asked Soonyoung and Mihae.

"Maybe we should, I'm kinda tired," Soonyoung shrugged and placed the net back to place, signalling Mihae.

Auntie Yae brought out bunch of cookies, "Have a cookie, sorry I haven't been keeping the pool clean, I don't really use it often."

Mihae nodded understanding and stuffed some in her mouth.

"I'll go back inside to check on Esther's cake," Auntie smiled and ran back inside.

Mingyu threw a water bottle at the two of them. They both caught the bottle easily.

"Nice catch, Mihae," Soonyoung complimented her.

She grinned sheepishly with a light blush on her cheeks.

But then Soonyoung immediately stood up when he felt a pair of burning eyes looking directly at him. Jealousy~

"Uh... I'm gonna go inside and take a shower, I'm pretty dirty right now. Kay, bye!" And he ran away from there as fast as he could.

Mihae looked confused, but soon realised she was left alone with Mingyu.

'Fuck,' she cursed herself.

Things were obviously still very awkward between the two ever since her confession.

After a long silence, Mingyu decided to break the ice with the lamest way ever, "Hey, what's up?"

Mihae could tell he was face palming himself on the inside so she giggled softly.

"That's the best you've got, Gyu?" She mocked him. Mingyu was then becoming a tomato.

"Yah, at least I tried," he huffed and pouted.

Mihae chuckled at his foolishness.

A long thought was going through her mind before she finally decided to tell him directly, "You know you still owe me an apology for breaking your promise."

Mingyu shot his head up in surprise, soon he gave her a sly smile and leaned closer to her face, "But I didn't break my promise."

"You did!" Mihae protested.

"I said that I would tell you may answer one day, not any specific day, didn't I?" Mihae just wanted to slap the smirk off his pretty face.

"Well then man up and tell me now," she gave him a grin and crossed her arms.

"Are you sure you'd want the answer today? I'm afraid you'd go out of your mind," His face was litterally an inch away from hers.

She wanted the answer instantly as she had waited so long, but it was Eunbyul's birthday, she didn't want to ruin the day with her being overjoyed or being depressed.

"Tell me when the party's over," Mihae winked and kissed him on the cheek, going back inside the house.

Mingyu smiled to himself at her response.

He went back into t he living room to see two of the four 95 liners.

"Where's Joshua and Jeonghan hyung?" Soonyoung asked.

"They ditched us to get coffee," Hyerim huffed, blowing a strand of hair out of her face.

"Talking behind our backs already?" And the evil (angel?) twin walked in to the room.

Hyerim rolled her eyes and walked to the table placing all the things they bought.

Then, Wonwoo and Yeonha came back as well. Wonwoo was blushing...

"Yo bro, why does your face look like a tomato?" Mingyu teased him earning a good smack on the head from dear old Wonwoo.

"I bought floaties and bathing suits for the girl squad," Yeonha beamed with joy as she highfived Mihae.

"We should start organizing things, it's five already! We are half an hour late!" Hyerim panicked looking at her watch, "Where are the maknaes and their food?!"

"Noona we're here, deep breaths and stay calm," Chan walked through the door with hands full of grocery bags.

"Okay, is everyone here yet-" Hyerim was cut off when they heard loud footsteps coming from the stairs.

It was Jihoon. Running.

"Are we seeing things?" Vernon whispered to the others as they laughed and shook their heads.

Jihoon sure was excited.

"Guys, I finish the song! I sent it to your phones, including Jun, Minghao and Hana!" Jihoon smiled, "Do the decorating while listening to the song and we'll practice later after we're done."

"Jisoos, he really is excited," Seungkwan looked at Jihoon as if he saw something out of the ordinary, something extraordinary.

"Okay stop with the blabering. Mingyu, cake decorating with Auntie Yae. Soonyoung, Seokmin and Chan, food preparation. Seungcheol, Wonwoo, inflate the floaties and balloons. Jeonghan, light the scented candles and place them all over the place. Jisoo, Seungkwan, Vernon, add the lighting. Girls, we're on decorating the rest. Jihoon, song on the speakers. Everyone understood?!" Hyerim clapped her hands.

They all blinked in surprise and shouted loudly, "Yes Madam!"

Seungkwan whispered to the others, "She's a perfect match for Cheol hyung," and they all nodded agreeing.

They only had two hours to prepare everything...
