Both Mark and Sana waved to each other before they parted ways to their respective room. Sana turned the door knob, and as soon as she stepped in the room, she received an applause from none other than her roommate, Mina.

"Congratulations!!!" Mina cheered. Sana laughed while closing the door behind her. She blushed as she looked at  Mina.

"You heard it?" Sana asked.

"Of course! Looks like Mark oppa was so eager to confess his love to you," Mina teased, causing Sana to cover her face using her palms in embarassment.

"So you guys are together now?" Mina asked. Sana nodded.

"I really didn't expect it, I still can't believe it until now," Sana said as she laid down on her bed, smiling while staring at the ceiling. Mina who watched, couldn't help but smile too.

When Mina heard Mark's confession, honestly, she was speechless and surprised, that she immediately ended the call. Mina could see it coming, seeing how close the two had become nowadays but of course she didn't expect to hear it herself. It took quite some time for her to process what she just heard.

She had mixed feelings about it. A part of her was happy, genuinely happy, because she knew that Mark and Sana deserve each other so much. But of course, a part of her heart was breaking at the fact that now, she really had to forget her feelings towards Mark.

But it wasn't that bad.

She thought she would cry, she thought she would have hard time to look at Sana and smile, sincerely congratulating her. But surprisingly, it wasn't that hard. Maybe because she didn't have high hopes in the first place. Maybe because she acknowledged the defeat earlier.

She just believed that there will be better things coming for her.

"Congratulations, Sana. I'm really happy for you," Mina said. Sana looked at Mina and smiled.

"Thank you, really. You've always been there to hear my fangirling moment," Mina laughed lightly.

"I feel a little bit sad though. You have Mark oppa now so you don't need me anymore. I'm single and alone," Mina teased Sana while pouting. Sana stood up before she walked over to Mina's bed. Sana then opened her arm and pulled Mina in her hold.

"Awww don't worry, you'll forever be my baby girl. The others don't know about me and Mark oppa yet. Mark oppa said he wants to scream that we're together as soon as we stepped in the house, but I said no, I want you to be the first person to know it from my mouth. And you better be ready to hear me ranting if Mark oppa ever make any problems!" Sana said, causing Mina to laugh.

"Awww, I feel important," Mina said between her laugh. 

"You are! No one can beat you in my heart, Minari. I'm sure you'll meet the right guy for you, one day," Sana said. Mina smiled at Sana's words.

At first, Mina was in doubt. But now, she was sure she won't regret giving up on Mark for Sana.

Even if she could change her choice, she'd choose her friendship with Sana in a heartbeat. 

"I hope so too," Mina said, smiling.

The house members were casually hanging out at the living room, some were watching TV, some were talking with other, some were playing games together. While they were busy doing their things, suddenly the doorbell rang. All of them looked at each other, because all of them were home and they didn't use the doorbell. Mark then stood up and ran lightly to the door.

The other members' eyes widened when they saw  Mark came back to the living room with 2 plastic bags full of pizza. Mark grinned at them.

"I ordered pizza! And don't worry it's my treat!" Mark said. Hearing that, Youngjae panicked and looked at Jeongyeon who sat beside him.

"Is today Mark hyung's birthday? I didn't wish him yet," Youngjae whispered to Jeongyeon. Jeongyeon flicked Youngjae's forehead.

"Mark hyung's birthday is the same month as yours, ," Jeongyeon said. 

"Right? I thought I forgot his birthday," Youngjae said in relieve. Jeongyeon shook her head at his silliness.

"Is today a special day, hyung?" Jaebum asked. Mark put down the plastic bags at the center of the living room before he cleared his throat.

"Well, I have an announcement to make," Mark said. The members paid attention as they were interested in what Mark was about to say. Mark turned his head to look at Sana, before he walked over to her who was sitting on the couch. 

"Starting from today, Sana and I are dating," Mark said while grabbing Sana's hand in his. The members gasped in shock.

"Really? How? I mean like..." Nayeon trailed off but the others totally understood what she meant. They'd never really seen Mark and Sana being obvious about having feelings for each other, though recently Mark helped Sana a lot with her work. Mark and Sana blushed as they looked at each other. Mark rubbed the back of his neck shyly.

"Well... It just... happens," Mark said. Jackson then cheered excitedly.

"Yeayyy the house has a couple now!! Congrats guys!!" Jackson said, followed with more congrats and cheers from the others. 

"Congrats Mark hyung, Sana! And thank you for the pizza!" Youngjae said. All of the members than gathered on the floor, enjoying their time while eating the pizza. They didn't forget to interview the new couple in the house. Mark and Sana suffered a lot from the all the teasing and blushing.

At the same time, Bambam didn't forget to check on Mina from time to time. From what he saw, Mina was happily laughing and she didn't seem sad at all. It looked like she accepted the news with a open heart. Unknowingly, a small smile formed on Bambam's lips.

Mina is a strong girl, and that's what Bambam admires her the most.

After the pizza kind-of party, the members helped cleaned up the living room. Youngjae was at the kitchen to throw away the box, and he saw Dahyun was washing her hands at the sink. Youngjae queued to wash his hands too, when suddenly he noticed Dahyun wearing something familiar.

"Hey, Dahyun," Youngjae started as he sat on the kitchen counter. Dahyun looked up, with both eyebrows raised up as if asking him "Why?"

"Your hoodie looks familiar... I think I've seen it somewhere," Youngjae said, with eyes squinted, trying to dig into his memory. Dahyun mentally panicked at Youngjae's words. Actually, she was wearing Jaebum's hoodie tonight. She prayed in her mind that Youngjae wouldn't notice anything more about the hoodie.

"Hoodie? Of course, I wear it before," Dahyun said. Youngjae squinted his eyes harder and shook his head.

"No.... I don't think I see you with it... Oh, wait!!" Youngjae exclaimed. Dahyun's heart started beating furiously.

"Jaebum hyung! He has the exact same hoodie as yours! I've seen it somewhere in the room!" Youngjae said. Dahyun controlled her face and remained calm.

"Jaebum oppa? Ah... Maybe we coincidentally bought the same design," Dahyun said as she laughed it off naturally. Youngjae still didn't seem convinced though with her reply.

"Really? I've never seen you wear it before. Do you perhaps..." Youngjae trailed off as stared at Dahyun, long and hard. Dahyun felt her lips dried. Did Youngjae caught on what's happening? Ugh, who do she always be in this kind of situation? Why not Jaebum? He could lie better afterall.

"Do you accidentally took his hoodie? Like from the laundry or something?" Youngjae asked, as his face change to look at Dahyun innocently. Dahyun was flustered, but also relieved at the same time. Dahyun slapped Youngjae's arm.

"How many times do I have to tell you it's mine! Do I look like I couldn't afford to by this hoodie?" Dahyun said, pouting. Youngjae laughed.

"Alright, alright, I'm sorry. It's just I've never seen you wear this hoodie. Haven't seen Jaebum hyung wearing it too these past few days. I'm sorry, okay?" Youngjae said. Dahyun snickered.

"You're busy playing games, that's why you didn't even notice, oppa," Dahyun replied. Youngjae laughed again and didn't say anything about the hoodie anymore. Dahyun sighed in relieve.

That was close...

Mark was drying his hair after taking a nice shower when Jackson came into the room. The latter  threw himself on the bed as he sighed in relieve when his body made contact with the fluffy mattress.

"Dude, I have no idea you and Sana have something going on. I can't believe you're hiding things from me now," Jackson said, slightly sulky.

"I don't. It hasn't been long since I realized it, and I didn't plan to confess until few hours ago," Mark replied.

"But how? I mean where did you get the confidence to? Aren't you scared that she will reject you or something?" Jackson asked. Mark put on a tank top and turned around to look at Jackson.

"With this look? Rejected? Can't relate," Mark said jokingly. He laughed when Jackson rolled his eyes and cursed at him under his breath.

"Of course I fear of rejection, my confession was really out of the blue. But you only live once, dude. I like her, and I want to be with her as fast as I can, so I confessed. If she accepts, then it's my luck. If she rejects, then I have to choose either moving on or try to win her heart," Mark said, smiling before lying on his bed. 

"You make it sounds easy," Jackson said. Mark was always like that, living his life positively, and more to the 'follow-what-your-heart-says' kind of life. 

"It is. Life's simple, Jackson. It's either yes or no, this way or another. Either you want tomorrow to be the day you call her yours or another day of you wishing she's yours," Mark said. 

", that's some wise word, Mark," Jackson said, suddenly burning with passion to confess his love. Mark laughed.

"So you're gonna confess to Tzuyu or what?" Mark asked.

"I don't-- WAIT. YOU KNOW?" Jackson sat up as he looked at Mark with wide eyes. Mark laughed harder because the look on Jackson's face was too funny.

"I've known you for years, Jacks. It's pretty obvious. I saw it when we first met Tzuyu in front of the house. Now let's talk about who's hiding things with who," Mark said, using Jackson's words to guilt-trapped him. 

"W-wait, i-it's not like that, Mark. It's just embarassing for me to share with you," Jackson said.

"What's so embarassing? You're just a human falling in love. It's not like you fall into a gutter or something," Mark said, causing Jackson to chuckle.

"Your words remind me of someone," Jackson said, suddenly reminded of Momo's words after Jackson spill the secret to her.

"By the way, I wish you all the best, Jacks," Mark said. Jackson grinned.

"Thank you, dude," 

"Now if you excuse me I have to text my girlfriend before I sleep. Don't talk to me," Mark said, sticking his tounge out at Jackson. 

"SHUT UP, MARK!"

Bambam was lying on his bed while staring at the ceiling. His mind kept thinking about whether Mina was okay. He wanted to ask her but he was scared that she would respond coldly. He hoped she was doing fine, like how she looked just now.

"Hey, Bambam," Yugyeom called. Bambam sat up slightly and looked at Yugyeom who was leaning on the chair, but he was not looking at Bambam.

"Yeah?" 

"Don't you think Mark hyung is really cool just now?" Yugyeom asked.

"What do you mean?" Bambam asked back.

"I mean, he looks really proud when he introduced Sana noona as his girlfriend," Yugyeom said. Bambam finally got where this conversation was leading to.

"Your point is?" Bambam asked, purposely wanting to hear from his best friend himself.

"I mean... It would be great if one day I get to introduce her as my girlfriend too," Yugyeom said. Bambam smirked.

"Who?" Yugyeom whined at Bambam's question.

"You know who," And this time Bambam laughed. Yugyeom did told him that he started to like Tzuyu not long ago. Bambam had make fun of him for at least one hour because when Bambam first suggested the idea at Yugyeom, he said it was ridiculous. 

"Confess then, make her yours," Bambam said. 

"Should I? But I'm confused, so far among the guy members, I think she looks most comfortable with me, but I don't know if she treats me like just an oppa, or if I can cross the line," Yugyeom said.

"Well, you won't know until you ask," Bambam replied simply. Yugyeom just sighed.

"I wish it's that easy," Yugyeom said. Bambam just chuckled.

I wish it is, too.

STOP

Before Tzuyu caught me blushing

Jaebum couldn't help but let out a small laugh as he read Dahyun's text. He could already imagine her cheeks turning pink as she keep glancing to Tzuyu, scared that the other girl would notice. Jaebum could literally feel his heart warmed at the thought of Dahyun. 

What Jaebum didn't notice was the younger guy sharing the room with him eyeing him strangely.

"You're okay, hyung?" Youngjae asked, and Jaebum turned to look at him, with smile still on his face.

"Uh? Sorry, what did you say?" 

"Nothing, I just asked if you're okay. I mean you suddenly laughed, like if you're possessed with something please warn me, I'll run," Youngjae said. Jaebum laughed lightly.

"Oh, no, no. I'm okay," Jaebum said. Youngjae frowned but decided to just accept his answer. Jaebum then focused back on his phone, and Youngjae tucked himself to sleep, failing to notice that the older didn't stop smiling.
