Chapter 150

Masks

Chuseok has finally come and the girls were getting ready to go home and be with their families. I was going to stay in the dorm for the holiday so I just sat on the couch in the living room and searched for something to watch on TV.

"Are you sure you are going to be okay?" Sey asked, already packed up and ready to leave.

"Of course." I smiled. "I'm used to spending the holidays by myself, so don't worry."

"Why don't you spend the holiday with Yongguk?" she offered.

"He should spend some time with his family, I'm already spending a lot of time with him when he is here."

"He wouldn’t mind if you'll join him during the holiday as well."

"I'm really okay, so don't worry." I smiled. "Did you pack everything?" I changed the subject.

"Yes." Sey smiled.

"Are you going to see Himchan in the holiday?"

"No. He is going home."

"Oh, okay."

"Do you want to come home with me?" Sey tried again.

"No. I don’t want to burden you and your family."

"You are not a burden." Sey stated. "Besides, my mom will be happy to see you. She keeps asking about you every time she calls."

"I'm really okay, so don't worry. Just go home and have fun." I smiled warmly.

"Are you sure?"

"YES!"

"Okay, don't get mad at me." Sey trailed off.

"I'm not mad, you are just worrying too much." I said and she pouted. "I'm really okay. I'm an adult, I can take care of myself for a few days."

"If you say so.."

"I have something for you!" I remembered and stood up. I went to the kitchen and took a disposable baking dish from the fridge.

"Give it to your family and wish them a happy holiday from me." I gave Sey the dish that contained a cake. I baked a cake for each and every one of the girls, including Sumi.

"You are crazy." Sey commented. "You don't have to do this."

"But I want to." I smiled. "Just take it." I pushed it towards her and she gave up and took the cake.

"How am I going to carry this home?" she complained but I knew that she didn't really mean it.

"It's not that big and you have two hands." I retorted.

"Thank you." She smiled. "I'm sure it's delicious."

Sey's phone rang and she smiled while looking at the screen.

"Hey mom." Sey answered the call. "I'm leaving in a few minutes. I have a train in an hour."

I waited while Sey talked to her mom on the phone.

"Bye mom." Sey finally ended the call.

"I need to go." She turned her attention back to me.

"Enjoy your holiday."

"I'll try. Call me if you need anything or if you'll change your mind, okay?"

"I will."

"Give me a hug because I'm not used to being away from you for so long." Sey asked.

"I didn't know you were this clingy." I teased.

"I'm still going to hug you." She informed me and I chuckled. I hugged her and she finally left.

Slowly the other girls left as well and I was left by myself in the now empty dorm. It was nice but also weird because I'm used to always having people around, even if it's just Sumi. I wanted to call Yongguk but I decided not to because I knew he would offer me to come with him or to stay here with me and I didn’t want to do any of those. He should spend some time with his family without me getting in the way.

"Hey." Narae opened the door with a smile. She was looking forward to this day for several weeks.

"Hey." Daehyun stood in the entrance, handsome as always. Narae couldn’t stop smiling.

"Are you sure you don’t want to go home?" Narae asked Daehyun for the millionth time. She was happy that Daehyun offered to spend the holiday with her but she also felt bad because she knew he misses his family and friends. He always goes to Busan when he has the time, so it was obvious he was making a sacrifice for her.

"I'm sure, my answer still hasn't changed."

"Okay." Narae moved aside, letting Daehyun in. "I'm happy you are here."

I cleaned the house, did laundry and rearranged my clothes in the closet I shared with the girls. After a long and relaxing shower I flopped on the couch, exhausted. Since I was alone at the dorm and I wasn't expecting anyone I allowed myself to dress sloppily. I was wearing a pair of shorts and a big old t-shirt that reached my thighs. My hair was tied messily but I didn't care. I'm the only one here anyway.

I just changed the channel on TV when there was a knock on the door. When I opened it Yongguk was standing there, a duffel bag in one of his hands and a bouquet of flowers in the other one.

"Yongguk." That was the only thing that left my mouth. I was trying to register what is happening since he clearly told me that he is going home and he was supposed to be on his way there at this hour.

"Can I come in?" he asked.

"S.. Sure.." I moved aside and he made his way inside the apartment. He kept staring at me and I didn't know why. I know I'm not dressed nicely, but it can't be that bad, right? He has seen me in worse situations before.

"Is there something wrong?" I finally asked, feeling uncomfortable under his intense gaze.

"There is nothing wrong." He smirked and now I noticed he was staring at my chest and I connected the dots. I wasn't wearing a bra. My face became red as a tomato upon realizing it. I'm such an idiot.

"You.." I stuttered, covered my face and rushed to my room, closing the door after me. It's so embarrassing. I know it's not a big deal because he saw me like that before, I just felt exposed because it wasn’t planned. I am getting more comfortable around him but not enough to do this. I want to be in control of what he can see and when and right now this control was taken from me because I was careless.

"Calm down, Hyeri. Let's get dressed and go talk to him." I told myself and walked to my closet, taking out the first bra I saw.

When I finally dressed I returned to the living room and to the waiting Yongguk. I tried to act as normal as I can although I knew my face were still red from embarrassment.

"What are you doing here?" I asked.

"I came to see you." Yongguk replied. Right now his bag was placed on the floor and the flowers he brought rested in a vase on the kitchen's table.

"Go home." I said dryly. I knew I had to be harsh or else he would stay and I want him to go home. He needs it.

"Come with me."

"No."

"Why not?"

"I don’t belong there." I stated and Yongguk frowned.

"You are my girlfriend, of course you belong there."

"Just go home." I ignored what he said because I didn't want to talk about it. If he keeps mentioning it I'll have to admit the real reason I don't want to go with him there and I don't want to tell him that. Yongguk hates that I'm underestimating myself but I can't help it. I don’t feel worthy enough to go there and present myself as his girlfriend. I don't have anything besides my singing and dancing abilities and that's not enough to impress your boyfriend's family, especially if your boyfriend is Bang Yongguk.

"How can I leave when I know you are here by yourself?" Yongguk asked.

"I spent the last few years by myself, I think I can handle it." I said harshly. I could tell he was hurt but I tried to ignore it. I'm determined to send him off. "Don’t worry about me and just go."

"Why are you trying to kick me out?" he asked, his expression becoming serious. "What are you hiding from me?"

"Nothing." I claimed.

"Holidays are meant to be spent with your loved ones." He reminded me. Doesn't he think I know that? I remember it every single time that I see families spending their holiday together while I have no one to spend the holiday with. Before joining TS I used to work on the holidays because I didn't have anything else to do but it only made me feel worse seeing everyone happy and knowing I can't have that because my own family didn’t love me.

"That's why you should go to your family." My voice cracked in the middle of the sentence, revealing my feelings. Damn it. Why do I always break down in front of him?

"What's wrong?" he asked softly, caressing my cheek.

"I hate the holidays. It's really lonely." I allowed myself to cry. Yongguk pulled me into his embrace and my tears wet his shirt while I buried my face in his chest.

"I'll be with you. It will be less lonely this way." Yongguk said and hugged me tighter. I wrapped my hands around his back. My crying slowly subsided but we still stayed hugged like this. I like this position.

"Go home. Your family misses you."

"They are used to me being away because of work so it's okay."

"That's why you should spend time with them when you're free." I argued.

"You need me more." He stated.

"I will be okay. I'm used to it."

"If you are not coming home with me then I'm staying here and we'll spend the holiday here. I'm not leaving you." Yongguk declared.

"Bad boyfriend that doesn’t listen to his girlfriend." I complained but both of us knew I didn't really mean it.

"Bad girlfriend that tries to push her boyfriend away when she needs him the most." He retorted.

"Then we are even because we don’t listen to each other." I joked.

"That's why we are a perfect match." He smiled and kissed the top of my head.

"Thank you." I buried my face deeper in his chest. "You are my guardian angel."

"I love you."

"I love you too, Yongguk."

"Shouldn’t we let them spend time alone with each other?" Jongup asked.

"It's not like they'll do anything even if they'll have the chance." Himchan scoffed.

"I didn't mean it in that way!" Jongup exclaimed.

"You can go home if you want to." Himchan shrugged.

"I'm staying."

 

~

 

Me and Yongguk were hugging each other when there was a knock on the door.

"Are you waiting for someone?" Yongguk asked.

"No."

"Go open the door." He goaded me and I reluctantly left his embrace.

When I opened the door I saw Himchan, Youngjae, Jongup and Zelo standing in the entrance with their bags.

"Did you tell them to come?" I asked Yongguk, who looked just as confused as me.

"No." Yongguk replied.

"We came to make sure you won't do anything stupid." Himchan said, smirking.

"Go home." I ordered.

"Noona!" Zelo whined cutely, trying to use his aegyo to convince me. "We want to spend the holiday with you!"

"Don’t you have families waiting for you? Go home and spend some time with them." I tried again.

"Why is Yongguk staying then?" Jongup asked and Youngjae smacked his head.

"Yongguk can go with you as far as I care. I want to be alone."

"Yah!" Yongguk protested. "I thought we agreed that I'm staying with you."

"You invited yourself in, just like them." I reminded him.

"We are staying." Youngjae declared and sat on the couch, turning his stay into a fact. The rest did the same.

"Fine." I sighed, realizing I don't have any choice left. "But you are sleeping in your own dorm, all of you."

"Thank you, noona." Zelo said cutely.

I went to the kitchen to grab a glass of water when someone else entered the apartment. This time it was the girls, including Sumi.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, eyeing the newcomers.

"We live here." Sey stated the obvious.

"You were supposed to go home. I actually sent you home a few hours ago."

"We changed our minds." Yujin said sheepishly.

"Besides, our lovely boyfriends are here so there is no reason for us to go home." Eun Hee said.

"What about your families?" I asked.

"They said we should spend the holiday with you." Sey said and I couldn't figure out if she was bluffing or not.

"What about you?" I asked Sumi.

"Yongguk is here." She answered dryly and I rolled my eyes. She is still as shameless as ever.

"Okay." I tried to stay calm. How did my few days alone turn into this?

"Babe, are you okay?" Yongguk asked worriedly.

"Sure." I faked a smile.

"Don't force yourself to smile."

I wanted to answer but another knock on the door interrupted me.

"What now?" I groaned and opened the door.

"Hyeri!" Narae beamed and I couldn't get mad at her seeing how cute she looked.

"Of course you will come as well.. You were the only ones missing." I told her and Daehyun.

"Can we come in?" Daehyun asked.

"Yes."

"My parents are abroad for the holiday so I thought of spending the holiday with friends." Narae explained even though I didn't ask.

"You can stay in our place, we have an empty bed!" Yujin called happily.

"That's great." Narae smiled happily.

"Is anyone else supposed to come or that's it?" I asked, trying not to show how annoyed I am.

"That's it." Everyone replied together.

"Babe, you should stop being so grumpy." Yongguk whispered in my ear while wrapping his arms around my waist. "Everyone came here because they wanted to spend the holiday with you so you won't be by yourself."

"I'm not a charity case." I muttered.

"They are doing it because they love you, not because of a charity."

"I don't care."

"Babe.." he pouted cutely. "Don't be mean. You just told me you don't like the holidays because it's lonely, so why are you complaining when you have all those people to celebrate with?"

I bit my lips, knowing he has a point. Why am I so mad when they have good intention?

"Stop pouting and don't be grumpy." Yongguk kissed my nape. "Let's try to enjoy this holiday together, okay?"

I watched everyone getting comfortable in our living room that was too small to fit everyone. People laughed and talked between themselves and it felt lively and happy. It started to feel like a home and a family. I guess I am lucky to have friends that care about me.

I faced Yongguk, wrapping my hands behind his neck. "Okay. Let's try to enjoy it."

"What should we do about dinner?" Youngjae suddenly asked. Everyone was gathered in the living room, watching TV or talking. I was sitting on the sofa, cuddled next to Yongguk.

"We have Hyeri and Channie so we should be fine." Sey said, smiling.

"We don't have enough ingredients for this amount of people." I stated. Usually it's only me and the girls and we don't eat that much because of our diet.

"We can order a delivery from the supermarket with all the ingredients we need, we just need to decide what to cook." Himchan said.

"Alright."

 

~

 

Yongguk was watching Hyeri and Himchan cooking in the kitchen, letting his mind wander with thoughts. He didn't notice Sey sitting next to him.

"Hey." Sey's voice cut him off from his thoughts.

"Hey." Yongguk smiled.

"What are you thinking about?" she asked curiously.

"Just some stuff.."

"Related to Hyeri?" Sey smirked.

"Yes." Yongguk smiled shyly.

"She is amazing." She stared at Hyeri who was now cutting some onions.

"She really is."

There was a comfortable silence until Yongguk decided to break it. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure." Sey brought her attention back to Yongguk.

"When we'll have a comeback.. I'm going to be busy."

"That's obvious." She stated, still not getting where Yongguk is going with this.

"Promise me you'll take care of Hyeri.  She neglects her meals and her health a lot and if I'm not there to take care of her she might collapse."

"You are really sweet." Sey complimented Yongguk, who just smiled shyly. "Don't worry, I'll do my best to take care of her. But there is something I want to ask as well."

"What is it?"

"Please make Himchan stop with his ridiculous diet. No matter how much I tell him he is perfect the way he is, he is not listening to me and his diet is really unhealthy." Sey sighed. "Maybe he will listen to you.."

"I'll try talking to him."

"Thank you."

"It's going to be too spicy, you idiot!" Hyeri's voice was heard from the kitchen and both Yongguk and Sey, and everyone else in the apartment, turned their attention to Hyeri and Himchan.

"It's supposed to be spicy!" Himchan retorted. "How can you not know that?"

"It's too much!" Hyeri glared at Himchan.

"You are being too much. I don't understand how Yongguk can stand you for so long. He must be crazy."

"If he tolerated you, he can tolerate everything."

"Psycho." Himchan muttered.

"Get out of my kitchen!" Hyeri ordered, placing her hands on her waist.

"Gladly, you freak."

"I thought that they were getting along well lately, what the hell happened?" Sey pondered.

"I don't know but I should probably go over there." Yongguk said and stood up.

Himchan made his way to the living room while Yongguk entered the kitchen in order to comfort Hyeri.

 

~

 

"Idiot. Who is he calling a psycho? I'm not the one with the mood swings." I muttered while cutting the tofu angrily.

"Calm down. You might cut yourself this way." I heard Yongguk's voice. He was leaning against the countertop and watched me carefully.

"You should go to your idiot friend.. I'm just a psycho that no one understands why you're dating." I said bitterly.

"He didn't really mean it."

"It doesn't matter." I kept cutting the tofu.

"The tofu didn't do anything to you, why are you abusing it?" Yongguk asked and now I noticed how I actually cut it. I was supposed to cut it to small squares but now nothing could be used because I took my anger out on it.

"If it's not the tofu it's going to be Himchan." I said and threw the tofu to the garbage.

"Do you want me to help you cook?" Yongguk offered.

"I want to be alone."

"Babe.." Yongguk sighed. "Let me help."

"Can you check if there is more tofu in the fridge?"

"Sure."

 

~

 

"Hey." Sey approached Himchan.

"Hey." He muttered.

"Is everything okay?" she placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Your friend is annoying."

"I'm sure it's not that bad.."

"Don't force me to communicate with her." Himchan grumbled.

"Okay." Sey trailed off. "I'm really happy you stayed here for the holiday. I'm sure she appreciates it as well."

"Let's change the subject." He asked.

"Okay." Sey smiled. "You are really handsome today."

"Keep going.."

"You are really really handsome today." She whispered seductively while her hand traveled along his upper body. "I can't wait to be alone with you."

"Don't tease me."

"Or?" Sey challenged.

"Or I won't be able to wait until we'll be alone."

"I like this idea." Sey smirked and Himchan shook his head. She is so bold sometimes, but he loves it. They match well in that aspect.

"Here is the preview." He said and attached their lips together.

 

~

 

Dinner was finally over. During the meal I tried to ignore Himchan because I was still mad at him. He didn't look at me either so it was easy to ignore his existence. Yongguk stayed close to me and tried to distract me with random topics to talk about. I was grateful for that because it improved my mood and I almost forgot I was mad at his best friend.

"What should we do tomorrow?" Youngjae asked when we watched TV. We had a few drinks as well, but nothing too serious. No one was getting drunk.

"How about we'll go to the amusement park?" Zelo offered.

"But it's going to be packed because of the holiday." Youngjae said.

"Then should we stay home and watch the special TV shows?" I offered.

"We can't do that all day long, it's going to be boring." Himchan said and I glared at him.

"The interesting shows are during the evening anyway so it's best if we do something in the morning and noon and watch TV in the evening." Daehyun said.

"So amusement park?" Zelo asked again.

"Let's go!" Yujin beamed. She really liked the idea.

"It's going to be packed and we might get discovered because we are a big group." Youngjae explained once again.

"Besides, if we'll get caught, how are we going to explain Narae's presence without revealing that she is dating Daehyun? She is not really related to us like you.." Himchan asked, following Youngjae's reasoning.

"She is my friend!" I argued. "She came because of me."

"Stop being so naïve." Himchan scolded me.

"Himchan, stop it." Yongguk said and Himchan frowned.

"Did she brainwash you already? You know I'm right!" Himchan exclaimed. "Your girlfriend is naïve to the point of stupidity."

"Himchan." Yongguk growled. "Apologize for your last comment."

"I prefer being stupid than being like you." I said. "You don't have to apologize since that's what you really think."

"Hyeri.." Yongguk called softly.

"It's fine." I claimed and turned my attention to Himchan. "No one is brainwashing Yongguk, he can think for himself."

"I was saying this for your own good. You won't survive if you keep being this innocent. There are a lot of bad people outside and Yongguk can't shelter you forever." Himchan said.

"I never asked him or you to protect me. I'm doing fine on my own." I said, trying to fight the tears that threatened to come. I'm not going to cry in front of everyone.

"You know as well as I do that you needed my help in the past." Himchan said, referring to Zico.

"Himchan, stop it." Sey nudged Himchan's arm. "It's not the time or the place to talk about it, and you know it wasn't her fault. You couldn't handle this thing by yourself either, especially with your fighting abilities."

"What are they talking about?" Narae asked Daehyun quietly, feeling awkward.

"I'll explain everything to you later." Daehyun whispered in Narae's ear and she just nodded.

"Fine." Himchan sighed.

"So.. Back to the amusement park." Zelo said, trying to lighten the awkward atmosphere. I wasn't in the mood to talk about it but maybe changing the topic was for the best.

"Just ignore what he said." Yongguk whispered in my ear, rubbing his thumb over my hand in an attempt to calm me down.

"He was right. He is always right, I just don't want to admit it."

Yongguk sighed. Himchan had good intentions but sometimes it is only causing damage and the one left to deal with the consequences is Yongguk.

"You don't have to protect me all the time. If I'm bound to get hurt because I'm naïve then so be it." Hyeri's voice cut Yongguk's trail of thought and brought him back to reality. "I'm not going to change because he doesn’t like it."

"That's the spirit." Yongguk smiled, hugging Hyeri tighter to him. "I don't want you to change because I love you like this."

"Thank you."

 

~

 

"You know I'm right." Himchan told Sey when she kept glaring at him, frowning.

"You could have been nicer. There is way to say things."

"She won't realize it if I'll be nice to her. I'm doing this for her own good."

"What you think is her own good doesn't necessarily mean it is. Her relationship with Yongguk is fine the way it is, don't sabotage it."

"Do really think things are fine like this?" Himchan stared intently at Sey.

"Yes. She needs Yongguk next to her and if she pushes him away all four of us are going to suffer." Sey claimed.

"I don't care."

"Himchan." Sey hissed. "Hyeri has suffered enough before coming here. She knows how bad the world can be and she doesn't need you to protect her. She can protect herself and she has Yongguk, her boyfriend. You are not related to this matter."

"She knows nothing about this world. It's crueler than the world outside." Himchan said. "Yongguk is my best friend. I don't want him to get hurt because of her."

"Hyeri would rather die than let Yongguk get hurt because of her. Do you really don't know that?"

"There is a difference between wanting to do something and actually doing it."

"You know what? Come find me when you'll get back to your senses because I really can't talk to you at the moment.  I know you are mad at Hyeri for whatever stupid reason you have, but you are being too much and Hyeri doesn't deserve that." Sey said and stood up.

"Honey.." Himchan called.

"Drop it." Sey hissed and went to sit next to Zelo.

 

~

 

"If the park is packed nobody will notice us because there will be so many people there." Jongup said. "How can you even see anyone with this amount of people?"

"Jongup has a point." Daehyun said.

"But we are going to spend hours waiting for the rides!" Sumi complained.

"You can stay home." Sey retorted, glaring at Sumi.

"Whatever." Sumi rolled her eyes.

"Waiting in line is part of the experience." Yujin said.

"So amusement park it is." Sey said, deciding for everyone.

"If something goes wrong I'm going to blame you for everything." Youngjae muttered.

"It will be fine." Eun Hee said, squeezing Youngjae's hand. "You worry too much."

"Yes!" Yujin beamed. "Thanks, Sey."

"No problem." Sey smiled.

"When should we leave?" Zelo asked.

"Early." I replied. "We should have breakfast together first."

"Speaking of breakfast, how are we going to sleep?" Daehyun asked.

"Here." Himchan declared.

"In your dorm!" I replied at the same time.

Me and Himchan glared at each other while the others laughed.

"There is no room for everyone here." I claimed.

"We don't need much room anyway." Himchan retorted.

"Your dorm is close."

"But it's easier to just stay here."

"And where are you going to sleep?" I asked, placing my hands on my waist.

"With you! Most of us are dating anyway." Himchan said. Yujin, Eun Hee, Youngjae and Zelo started blushing.

"Don't be ridiculous."

"Ask them yourself!" Himchan exclaimed.

"Okay." I agreed because I wanted to prove my point. "Who wants to sleep together with his partner?"

Himchan, Sey, Daehyun, Narae and Yongguk raised their hands. Sey and Himchan exchanged hesitant glances but smirked when they realized both of them raised their hands. They are going to figure things out tonight.

"Yongguk, put your hand down. It won't happen." I said and Himchan started laughing. I shot him a glare and he stopped.

"I just answered your question." Yongguk said sheepishly.

"Stop rejecting him already, will you?" Sey elbowed me.

"It's between me and him." I hissed.

"Babe." Yongguk pouted cutely.

"I have an idea!" Sey exclaimed and all of us turned our attention to her.

"Since only some of us wants to share a room, I have a way to use both our dorm and B.A.P's dorm and everyone will get what they want."

"How?" I asked curiously.

"Me and Himchan will sleep in his room while Daehyun and Narae will sleep in Daehyun's room. Youngjae and Jongup will sleep in their own room and Zelo can either sleep in their room or in the living room in their dorm. You and Yongguk will sleep here in the living room because the couch opens to a bed and the girls will sleep in their room." Sey explained. "How does that sound?"

"Why am I sleeping with Yongguk?" I asked.

"Because you are dating." She stated the obvious.

"Yujin and Jongup are dating and they are sleeping separately!" I exclaimed. "And so does Youngjae and Eun Hee."

"Do you really think it's the same?" Sey asked, crossing her hands over her chest.

"I like this plan." Yongguk said and Sey smiled victoriously after sticking her tongue out. I glared at Yongguk. Why is he cooperating with her?

"Sounds like a good plan." Himchan agreed. "My girlfriend is smart."

"She is not smart, she just wants to have ." Sumi commented, making us laugh. It was true even if Sumi only wanted to make fun of Sey.

"At least I actually get to sleep with the person I like and I don't get rejected all the time." Sey smirked. "It must be sad that the person you like is not even looking at you.."

"None of your business." Sumi muttered angrily.

"So it's settled." Daehyun said, stopping the argument before it escalates.

"I guess it is.." I mumbled. I wasn't completely happy with the sleeping arrangements but it seemed like the best solution considering some couples want to sleep together.

"What's wrong?" Yongguk whispered in my ear.

"Nothing." I lied.

"I can read you like an open book." He reminded me.

"So how about you'll figure out what my problem is on your own?" I retorted.

"You don't trust me, do you?" Yongguk asked and it was obvious that he was hurt.

"I trust you." I replied with all my sincerity.

"Then what is it? You are clearly bothered by the sleeping arrangements."

"It's nothing."

"You know what? I'll sleep in my dorm. You can sleep in your own bed. Sorry for stressing you out." He said bitterly and started walking away. I followed him and hugged him from behind.

"I'm sorry." I whispered against his back. "I don't want you to go."

"Then what's wrong?"

"I'm scared." I admitted. The fact that I was facing his back and not his face made it easier to confess because I didn't have to see his reaction.

"Of what? I won't do anything you don't want me to do. It was always like that."

"I know." I said and he didn't react. I really messed up this time. "It's the first time we are sharing a bed together. I might have weird sleeping habits that you won't like."

Yongguk sighed. "That's it?"

"Yes." I whispered.

Yongguk turned around and lifted my chin with his right hand so I'll look at him. "Technically it's not the first time we are sleeping together.. We even slept in your living room after the hotel incident with Zico." He reminded me.

"It's not the same." I bit my lower lip, embarrassed. "Now it's more.. Official."

"You don't have to define everything. I already slept next to you, I don't care how you call it. Both of us saw the other sleeping so I doubt you can surprise me with new habits. I find your sleep talking cute and you already tried to me the last time we slept here and I don't mind that." He said and I blushed, embarrassed. "Besides, why are you taking the blame for everything? I might have weird sleeping habits you won't like instead of the other way around.."

I smiled. He really has a way to make me feel better no matter how bad I feel. "I'm sure that there is nothing that can change my opinion on you." I said and he smiled.

"Don't worry about stupid things like this, okay?" Yongguk asked, caressing my cheek.

"Okay."

"Love birds!" I heard Sey calling us. "I know you can't keep your hands to yourselves, but please join us. We are making a toast."

"Let's go." Yongguk grabbed my hand and followed Sey.

I split this day to two chapters because it was getting too long so at least part of the next chapter will focus on this day and the sleeping arrangements.

I'm sorry if this chapter is not that good, please bear with me a little longer. There are just some things that needs to be done before I can get to the more interesting things or else it won't make sense.

 

Thanks for reading, commenting, subscribing, etc.

Chapter 156: Wow, I was blaming both of them at 1st, as things could’ve been handled so much better on both sides. I loved how Himchan & Sey reasoned with both of them, but Hyeri crossed a line once Yongguk apologized. I didn’t feel she necessarily deserved it, but I knew they both needed it.... sure the way he apologized, did seem like a back handed apology, as her kissing technique could’ve been discussed privately. But Hyeri towards Himchan, she needs to make this better, and of course, he hit below the belt, but she had consistently hit below the belt prior & then to hit him!!! I’m not sure how this is going to turn out, thank you for updating!!

Chapter 156: I still one hundred percent believe that this entire situation is one in which Hyeri is very much at fault. I don’t think Yongguk is in a position where Hyeri requires an apology and I don’t think Hyeri even DESERVES an apology. She completely blew a small and minor incident out of proportion.

I do believe that Himchan went slightly too far with the comment he made however Hyeri shouldn’t have been as horrible to him as she was.

Chapter 155: Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!! I was BEYOND happy to see the update, wow so much happened, where to begin? I see Hyeri & Himchan are still at each other’s throats, I do wish they could get along, and that Hyeri would see the validity in what Himchan said, but no matter what, I think time stopped when Yongguk said Sumi was a better kisser. I felt bad, that super slam, even if honest, that was the time to lie. Especially knowing Hyeri... I was shocked she would kiss him after that was said, and kept thinking why does kissing Yongguk keep coming up, even after he said she wasn’t as good of a kisser. .... sighs, once again, he’s storming out and even with his stupid honestly, I can’t say I blame him. Thank you so much for coming back & for updating,

Chapter 155: WOOP WOOP!! MY FAVE FANFIC IS BACK!!! And OMG this is spicy as hell. I just wish Hyeri would stop being a drama queen and finally realise that she needs to get some help and that Yongguk loves her.

Chapter 153: Thank you for updating despite your busy schedule. I truly hope that Hyeri is ok! She let a lot of things off her chest the night before, and while I do wish she would've thought of the impact her leaving like that would have, I hope they catch her in time before she does something that would change all of their lives. Regarding the comment I just read, there's a difference between constructive criticism & just plain being rude. While it's true, being factual or doing some research on weightier subjects is a good rule of thumb, most of us are adults that don't use fanfics as our barometer of social issues. Assuming what someone's language is, was completely unnecessary to state. You don't have to read the story, if you're a writer, you should understand what it takes to create, upload & continue a story remembering details from previous chapters...etc. If you're not a writer, perhaps you should put yourself in the author's shoes before you begin.
