"And five, six, seven, eight..."
You tried catching up with his movements and beat but it seems that you're not in your best condition today.
"Oh shoot. Sorry." 
You were sweating hard and your feet were aching. But youre determined to finish this choreography with sooyoung.

"Its okay..wanna take a break?"

He was a caring guy. He's a walking ball of sunshine and thats why you fell for him since the day you met. He was the positive kind of guy, always faces everything with a smile.

He was tired as well. You can see from the way his chest rise up and  fall down. But still, he faces you with a smile.

He was your best friend. Nothing more than that. But rather than destroying something, a relationship you had for three long years, you just kept your feelings for yourself.

"Thanks. I really need one." You walked on the corner of the room and grabbed the two water bottles, giving one to sooyoung.

He was sitting on the floor wiping his sweat with a towel and gave him the other one and sat on the couch adjacent to him.

The song keeps playing, echoing the empty dance room of Seventeen.

Ting~
Your phone rang, recieving a text from wonwoo.
"Hows the date with hoshi hyung? Kekekke." you rolled your eyes.
Wonwoo was one of those friends whom you treated like a brother. You shared every secret with him and spent time with him whenever hoshi is busy.

"Same old. Same dancing "date" without the romantic stuffs."
you typed back.

"My poor ______. :( you'll eventually get there someday. Anyway, gtg. Im in the coffee shop with mingyu. Fighting!"
you smiled and was about to reply to his text when you saw Hoshi approaching me. you immediately locked your screen and placed your phone in your pocket.

"Whos that?" He sat beside me and you took a drink from your bottle.
"Its just wonwoo." you replied and he looked at me with a straight face.
"What?" you grinned at him and he  returned with a smile
"What did he say?" He grabbed your phone in your pocket and opened the screen.
"NO!" ! You're going to see all the texts about you.
"Why? Keeping secret from your bestfriend?" you tried grabbing your phone away but failed and Hoshi stood up and ran away.
"No! I mean--- yes! Sooyoung! Give that back!" Chasing him around the room, you grabbed his hoodie and he took your waist and carried you on his shoulders like a rice sack.

" aigoo--- why is there a password?" He tapped your phone and you struggled.
"Hoshi! Put me down! I swear!"

If he gets to read my texts with wonwoo, my life is over.
"You're really secretive this days, _____-ah."
He placed you down and as you were about to run again, you tripped on the bottle of water and it spilled on the floor.

"Oh no." you stared at it for a while and he smiled. "No worries. Lemme get some tissue paper." He gave your phone back and jogged outside. 

Jealousy is taking over me. Again.

Whenever she smiles without me being the reason, it pains my heart a little. 
She never smiles at me like that, but with just a simple text with wonwoo, she just smiles ever so radiant that it made her eyes glow.

I know she can never be mine. I was a coward to tell how I feel because of the fear of losing our friendship if I do so.

But I am also a man. And I cant just let her go without telling me how I feel. 
 

"Alright! That should do it! Back to practice." Sooyoung wiped off the floor for the last time and finally it was free from water spill.

So, we began to practice again, but now it was Hoshi who was out of focus.

"And five and ah--!" 
Suddenly, hoshi slipped and landed on his back.
"Omo! Are you okay?" He was lying down on his back, wincing in pain.
"Y-yeah." He flashed a smile again.

you laughed and you reached out your hand.
"Be careful... you idiot.."
He reached for it and instead of pulling himself up, he pulled you down.
"Hoshi! What---"
you fell and lied down beside him as he hugged yoy, arms cradling your shoulders.

you can smell his scent from his drenched shirt and his heavy breathing. His heartbeat was racing and you stayed like that in silence, music playing in the background.

"I cant help being jealous. I know Im not in the right place to be, but I cant help it. Whenever you smile, I know im not the reason. The way you talk to others, I cant help but ask why you held your head low and not meet my eyes if it was me."

His hug grew tighter around you and you cant help but get flustered with all whats happening, with what he's saying.

" Im getting tired. The truth is, I like you _____-ah. Your eyes, your smile, your everything. I want you mine. But I was so scared that I might destroy what we have. But im risking everything now. To tell you the truth. Maybe tomorrow everything will change, our friendship will never be the same again."

you closed your eyes, throat feeling dry. you buried your face on his shoulders and your arms suddenly acted on its own and hugged him back.

"Weve been keeping our feelings for almost three years. I guess were both scared."
He chuckled nervously after a long silence.
"We have? "

you nodded and scooted closer to hear his heart racing fast against his chest.

"so what will happen now? will our friendship change?"

you smiled and sat up.

"oh, it will change alright."

into something better.

"Wonwoo wait up!" 
I approached him and patted his back.
"_____-ah!" He patted my head and smiled.
"You going to visit us today?" You guys walked your way to Seventeens practice room.
"Yup! Got some free time. I got some snacks." Wonwoo opened the door and the members greeted you.

"Jagi! What a surprise!" He looked at you and at wonwoo with the same serious look on his facd.
"You boy, go practice with your counting. Youre so off with it! Or else no snacks."
Wonwoo whined like a kid and entered the room.

You giggled. "I thought we got over the jealousy thing." 
He smiled and held your hands. 
"Yes I did! But wonwoo is really an awful dancer."
You smiled and entered the room giving snacks to the other members.
