❝Even if I think back 'it'll be alright'
At the end of my day, it ends with you
The me where I thought I couldn't live without you I'm living like this.
Honestly, it's a little empty maybe you're always there.❞

"YAH! Stop winning every time we play Mario Cart damn it!!!" Mingyu threw the controller away jumping up and down in frustration while Eunbyul was doing her little victory dance.

"I told you, son. She wins everything when it comes to games," Auntie Yae was sitting on the couch with Ren sleeping on her lap.

"I could see that," Jeonghan laughed, "She even beat Wonwoo-the-great."

Wonwoo glared at Jeonghan and crossed his arms, sitting in the corner, grumbling.

Eunbyul smiled widely. It was indeed an amazing day for her.

Then, Hyerim stood up, yawning and looked at her watch, "Guys, it's 1 am now. Sleep time! Now shoo, go to sleep."

They all shook their heads, facing Hyerim with puppy eyes.

Auntie Yae chuckled lightly but agreed, "Sadly, we gotta end our day here. Go to sleep and tomorrow I'll make some of my delicious pancakes~"

As the word "pancakes" was said, the four girls head shot up and smiled widely, they all cheered happily as they all love her pancakes.

The girls pushed the boys into the guest bedrooms and they were about to run to Eunbyul's room enthusiastically. The boys were dumbfounded, of course.

Suddenly, a hand grabbed Hyerim's wrist.

Her eyes shot wide, but when she turned, she only saw Seungcheol.

"Hyerim, can we talk for a moment, please?" He asked, swallowing a lump in his throat.

Hyerim was confused at first, but because of the three other girls' "ooh~" and pushes, she just nodded and went with him to the garden.

ווווו×

Once they were there, they sat down on a bench, staring at the starry night.

It was silent for quite a while when Hyerim decided to break the silence.

"What were you going to-" She stopped immediately.

Not because she didn't know what to say next.

But it was because she was stopped.

By a kiss.

Her cheeks flushed red. Her eyes widen. Her lips shivered. Her heartbeat increased rapidly..

All of that was in her mind was: What the fuck is going on?!??!

But she calmed down for a moment and closed her eyes, enjoying the strange feeling.

He was right there in front of her, sharing a kiss with her. So close yet so warm.

When he let go due to lack of breath, she was still surprised. Choi Seungcheol, the leader of the hottest group in school, was taking her first kiss away.

She touched her lips slightly, then she gasped, still not able to believe it was all real.

Seungcheol looked at her reaction, he chuckled and touched her chin and raised her face up to his level, staring into her dark orbs.

"I just couldn't resist how cute you are," he grinned.

Her face felt hotter, probably hotter than the sun's temperature.

It was then silent again. They were sitting so close to each other, but nothing happened. No holding hands, no blushing, no eye contact. It was just... awkward.

"Was that a confession?" Hyerim asked with her voice lowered.

Seungcheol let out a short chuckle.

"You girls are truly clueless, huh?"

And that made Hyerim flustered. She didn't know where to look, or what to say.

"It's okay though," he suddenly stood up and faced the other way, not looking at Hyerim, "You don't need to say anything. I'll wait for your answer."

He turned to her, smiling as he saw her face. But in his heart, things were falling into pieces. He felt guilty and regretful.

He held out his hand to Hyerim, "Come on, let's go inside. It's starting to get cold out."

Hesitated, but she smiled and took his hand.

They walked back inside Eunbyul's house and stood in front of the girl's room.

"Thanks for everything," Seungcheol smiled lightly, "Good night."

Hyerim only nodded.

He left once she stepped into Eunbyul's room.

There, the girls were all asleep, all but Eunbyul. She was playing with her phone, plugging in earphones.

Eunbyul felt Hyerim's presence, she took out her earphones and looked at Hyerim with a small smile.

She moved her hands, What happened down there?

Hyerim's heart suddenly beat faster when she remembered back what he did and what he said to her.

Eunbyul slowly tilted her head, Why are you blushing?

The flustered girl turned her head away, unable to look at Eunbyul, "Get some sleep. It's almost morning now."

And she laid on the bed with Mihae and slept pretty much right away.

ווווו×

In the boy's room, things were a mess.

"What do you mean you two aren't a thing yet?! You confessed, didn't you?" Seungkwan sassed.

Seungcheol rolled his eyes and placed a pillow on his face, "I'm tired, I'll tell you about it tomorrow."

"But it's already tomorrow!" Seungkwan whined.

The boys were all anxious and felt kind of guilty for giving him such a risky dare.

"Just sleep Seungkwan," Jihoon huffed, "I'm tired too."

Seungkwan stopped whining and rolled his eyes, slamming himself on to the comfy bed.

After a while, they were all fast asleep.

But Seungcheol obviously couldn't sleep.

He got out of their room and went to the girl's room. He hesitatedly knocked on the door.

For some reason, he was hoping it was Hyerim who opened the door. But to his surprise, it was Eunbyul who opened it.

"Oh sorry if I woke you up," Seungcheol glanced a smile, "Just can't really sleep."

Eunbyul smiled back. She closed the door gently, not to wake up the girls, and she signaled him to follow her downstairs.

Seungcheol silently followed.

Eunbyul went to the fridge and took out some whole milk, she poured some into a glass and gave it to Seungcheol.

He looked at the glass and smiled, "Thanks," he then drank the milk and complemented her, "Now I know why the others like you so much."

Eunbyul felt flustered and smiled.

But deep down, she knew he couldn't sleep for a reason.

She took out her phone and wrote in some notes to show to Seungcheol, You can't sleep because of Hyerim, am I right?

Seungcheol read it and chuckled softly, "You sure can look into people's minds huh?"

He sighed but decided to tell her his thoughts, "I don't know since when but I... loved Hyerim. I don't know why but there's something special about her."

Seungcheol sipped some milk and continued talking, "Earlier, I confessed to her, the boys dared me to. Now, I feel guilty and regretful, I might've just ruined our friendship."

Eunbyul quickly typed notes on her phone, How did you confess?

Seungcheol blushed slightly at the sudden question but still replied, "A-A kiss...on the lips..."

The girl had a shocked expression on. Not because she was angry of him for taking away her friend's first kiss, but because she was excited for the two.

She jumped up and down in excitement, which was something Seungcheol did not expect to see. He thought he would get slapped in the face or something.

"Y-You're happy?" He asked.

She stopped jumping and nodded her head enthusiastically.

She wrote in her phone, I totally ship you guys now!!!!!!!!

Once Seungcheol read it, he blushed even harder.

"Aish stop it please," he chuckled and finished his glass of milk, "Come on, let's head back to bed."

Excited, but she still obeyed. She walked up to her room with her crazy imaginations of the two getting together.

Before she got back to her room, Seungcheol stopped her.

"Please don't say anything. Pretend you know nothing, okay? I'll tell her myself when I'm ready," he looked away shyly.

Eunbyul nodded and waved good bye to him as she went into her room.

Welp, I knew this was going to happen eventually, she thought to herself before laying back on her bed.
