After her dance with Eric was over, Yongsun said her goodbyes and immediately retreated to the safety of her friend group. As the senior returned to her friends, she was surprised to see that Moonbyul was missing.

"Where's Moonbyul?" Yongsun asked.

"She went out the doors the last time I spoke to her," Minhyuk answered.

"Thanks." The senior then walked towards the entrance doors of the gym.

As she opened the doors, she still saw no sign of her friend and assumed the girl went outside. She then walked out the school's front doors to find the junior sitting on one of the steps in front of the school.

Moonbyul didn't seem to flinch or give any indication that she was surprised when Yongsun sat down next to her as if the girl was expecting her to come by and do so.

As soon as Yongsun sat down, she spoke. "You okay?"

Moonbyul sighed. "Yeah. Just needed some fresh air." She then looked at Yongsun with a smile, but the senior knew it was forced. "How was your dance? How did the guy treat you?"

Even though Moonbyul was upset, she wanted to hear about Yongsun's experience. Maybe listening to what the senior said would help her stop her foolish jealousy.

"It was good, and the guy was very nice and funny. I can tell he was trying to make me comfortable."

Yongsun never had many friends her age, but if you were to count her senior friends, most of them were female. She always found it hard to talk to guys, but here she was about to dance with one and it made her nervous. As they danced, her partner, Eric, seemed to have noticed her discomfort and did his best to make sure she no longer felt that.

And it worked as he talked about things that happened to him that were funny to make Yongsun laugh, to which she did. Eric then asked her about one or two questions, and Yongsun responded. She didn't know how or when, but she later told Eric her crush on her pink matching suit friend and he was very understanding of it. He was even willing to help her if she needed it, so she kept that in mind just in case. Soon the dance ended and here she was sitting next to the slightly taller girl.

"That's good to hear," Moonbyul responded. 

As much as Moonbyul wanted to hate the guy, she really couldn't find a reason to. All the guy did was dance with Yongsun and from what the senior said about him, he doesn't seem all too bad... yet.

Moonbyul let out another sigh to let out any frustration and stood up. She held her hand out for Yongsun to take. "Wanna go back inside?"

"Sure," Yongsun said with a smile and took her friend's hand.

The two went back inside the building where the dance was taking place and were suddenly attacked by a huge hug from the two sophomores, Wheein and Hyejin.

"We missed you guys!" Wheein whined.

Yongsun chuckled as she patted the back of Wheein's head. "We were only gone for a few minutes."

"More like a century," Hyejin replied, causing the four girls to laugh.

Soon their laughs died down and Wheein spoke. "Also, you wouldn't believe it, but I saw Minhyuk trying to flirt with some girl."

"Really?" Moonbyul said, surprised. "Now I have to talk to him about this. Let's go."

Moonbyul dragged the three girls to their group of friends who were waiting for them. The group already knew where Moonbyul and Yongsun went, so they didn't really question them. Though it didn't stop their friends from teasing the two as Sandeul teased the two on what they could have done on their few minutes of alone time, but was quickly silenced with screams of pain when his arm was met with a beating blow from an embarrassed Moonbyul.

Moonbyul then questioned her twin, Minhyuk, about his attempt at flirting with a girl. Minhyuk denied that he evened with the group saying he did. It soon ended with the girl Minhyuk didn't flirt with coming over to give him her number, and Moonbyul couldn't help but laugh.

There was a slow song that played during the dance, and Yongsun took this opportunity to dance with Moonbyul. She quickly took the younger girl's hand and pulled her into her. Yongsun's actions surprised Moonbyul, so the junior couldn't help but blush. She knew what the senior wanted and followed her lead, and for a moment, it felt like they were the only two in the room.

Some of their friends watched while some were enjoying their own dance.

"When do you think those two will finally get together?" Minhyuk questioned.

"I bet $5 that they get together somewhere around this month," Sandeul replied.

"Nah, I'll give them two more months," Wendy added.

The group laughed at their sudden bet when Yongsun and Moonbyul will become official.

"Let's all take bets and see how this goes," Minhyuk said.
 

"Hey, guys. I want you to meet someone."

Moonbyul, Wheein, and Hyejin sat in their morning table, looking at Yongsun as she tried to introduce them to someone. Yongsun knew Wheein and Hyejin would love to meet this person, Moonbyul maybe not, but she doesn't want the senior to think of this person as someone to be jealous of. Well, not yet at least.

Yongsun then revealed her friend, who she met at prom, Eric. Eric gave a shy smile and waved, which was reciprocated with Wheein and Hyejin who waved back with a smile on their face. Moonbyul only gave a single wave with no expression at all and looked somewhere else.

"I don't think Moonbyul likes me," Eric whispered.

"Just show her you're not a threat," Yongsun whispered back.

"Got it." Eric held out his hand towards Moonbyul in Hope's she took it. "Yongsun talked a lot about you, Moonbyul, so it's nice to finally have a face to who she's talking about."

Moonbyul looked at Eric's way and hesitantly shook his hand.

"Yongsun told me about how you tried to make her comfortable during your dance, so I guess you're cool."

Eric mentally screamed when he got Moonbyul's approval. "Cool."

Eric was asked to stay by the two sophomores, so he sat down and chatted with the four girls. As they chatted with Eric, Moonbyul was able to learn about the guy to know that he genuinely is a nice guy who wants to help his friends.

She also learned that both of them are quite similar, their humor being one of them, which for Yongsun as it meant double the headache that day with the two annoying the senior.

Moonbyul was getting along with Eric and thought the two could actually be friends, but that quickly changed. She started to see Eric as an annoyance as he started to show up a lot lately. When the four girls had their usual hang out, he was there, when there was a party at Yeri's house, he was there, when Yongsun and Moonbyul hang out, HE WAS THERE. It was getting on Moonbyul's nerve on how close Yongsun and Eric acted around each other, and she couldn't help but be jealous all the time when she saw Yongsun and Eric interact with each other.

Yongsun always said that there was nothing between them, but that alone wouldn't stop how Moonbyul felt and it seemed like Yongsun didn't notice her frustration, which frustrated her more.
 

Yongsun and Moonbyul were to meet up to study together, but somehow the bug showed up again unannounced. What frustrated the junior more was that Yongsun invited him last minute. Moonbyul said it was okay, but her head she was screaming.

The three went inside a café to order drinks and study, with Yongsun and Moonbyul facing each other and Eric taking a seat next to the senior. There was casual conversation here and there until the two seniors decided to chat between the two of them, making Moonbyul lose focus on her studies. The junior couldn't take it anymore and grabbed her headphones to listen to instead as it was better than listening to what the seniors were talking about.

Yongsun noticed Moonbyul's action and tried to grab the junior's attention, but was clearly ignored as she was waving in her face and no reaction was shown. Yongsun sighed, frustrated, but she really couldn't blame the girl's behavior. At least she knew their plan to make Moonbyul jealous was working.

When Wheein and Hyejin suggested the terrible plan, she was hesitant as she didn't want to hurt Moonbyul or have the girl have the wrong impression of her and Eric's relationship. Eric was even scared as he didn't want to ruin the good relationship he built with Moonbyul as he knew the junior was in the fence with him from the very beginning when he danced with Yongsun, but somehow the two sophomores were able to convince the seniors on their plan and that's how it's been for a couple of days now.

It was okay the first few times when Eric crashed the hangouts as Moonbyul didn't seem to care back then, but now Eric felt like his life was in danger the more he did it. This day, however, he was more scared for Yongsun as the girl was now ignoring her and knowing the many times he has hung out with the two, Moonbyul has never done that.

"Yongsun, I can't stay here anymore. She's really upset now, so I'm gonna leave you two here and talk this out." Eric whispered at Yongsun's way.

Yongsun understood her friend's words as she messed up this time by how unusual Moonbyul was behaving towards her. "Okay, I'll text you what happens after this and if I don't respond the next day, I've probably been murdered."

Yongsun knew that she herself can be scary when she's angry, but that was nothing compared to Moonbyul, as the junior rarely gets angry. So it was very clear that you've done something wrong when you upset her.

"Okay, good luck with this. No pressure at all." Eric quickly grabbed his things, said his goodbyes, and walked away, but not before giving two thumbs up at Yongsun.

Yongsun shook her head from the action and tried to grab the junior's attention again, but to no avail. Yongsun sighed, frustrated this time as it seems like Moonbyul wanted to do this the hard way. Yongsun grabbed the paper Moonbyul was working on, which finally got the junior to look at her.

As soon as her paper was taken away, Moonbyul quickly looked at Yongsun with anger. "What the hell Yongsun!" The junior exploded.

Yongsun jumped at Moonbyul's sudden outburst, as it wasn't something she didn't expect from her. She then noticed that all eyes were on them and her not wanting to cause a scene. She grabbed her things and tried to make the junior do the same. "Can we talk about this in the car, please?"

As much as Moonbyul wanted to deny it, she understood and knew that if she did their "talk" here, she would surely regret it. "Fine." She then quickly packed her stuff and followed the senior to her vehicle.

Once they both got inside the vehicle, Moonbyul found it safe to let out her frustration.

"So what is it with you and Eric?"

Yongsun expected this question. "Nothing, we're just friends."

"Just friends?" Moonbyul didn't believe that from the many times Eric has shown up. "Do you guys like each other or something? Do YOU love him?"

Though Yongsun expected this to happen, it didn't stop her from being hurt to think that the person she loved thought she wasn't the one on her mind 24/7. "What? No, I don't love him."

"Then why the hell have him around all the time?"

"I- " Yongsun wanted to give an answer, but she didn't want to tell her that she only did it to make her jealous.

Yongsun's silence made Moonbyul upset. She looked away, tearing up. She thought Yongsun loved her. She was stupid to let herself get led on and get her heart broken a second time.

She wanted to scream, leave the car, walk home and cry, but she instead stayed in the vehicle and laughed hysterically. "I was so stupid to think that someone like you could ever have feelings for me."

Yongsun heart broke even more when she heard those words. She always wanted to hear Moonbyul confess to her, but not like this, and she choked a little as she tried to hold back tears. "No, I do love you."

Moonbyul laughed, not accepting what she just heard as true or something just said to make her stay. "Are you so sure about that?"

"Yes, I do," Yongsun said and pulled Moonbyul into a heated kiss.

Moonbyul was caught off guard and thought of shoving the senior, but she couldn't help but fall right into the kiss as it felt genuine. It was rough, but it held for meaning to it than anything else, so she let it happen as she closed her eyes and reciprocated the senior's feelings.

The two stayed in that position until they had to pull back for air. They were gasping for oxygen and until they could control their breathing, Yongsun spoke.

"I'm sorry for hurting you, you don't have to forgive, but I don't love him. I only see him as a friend." Yongsun placed a hand onto Moonbyul's cheek. "You're all I care about and love with all my heart."

Moonbyul leaned into the touch as her heart warned by Yongsun's confession, but she still felt like she needed a good answer for something. "Then why have him around?"

Yongsun kept her gaze somewhere else and lets few tears fall as she answered that as she felt guilty about what she did to get to where they were now. "We wanted to make you jealous, and as much as I didn't want to do it, Wheein and Hyejin convinced me, but don't get mad at them, since I'm the one who took the actions."

Moonbyul understood now that this plan was all Wheein and Hyejin's doing. She knew Yongsun wouldn't think of something so cruel. "Hey, look at me."

Yongsun hesitantly looked into the eyes of the person she had fallen for, to see nothing but love and adoration and she swore she didn't deserve Moonbyul. "It's alright, I forgive you," the junior then smiled a little. "but please do something else other than making me jealous to let me know that you love me. I almost got a heart attack." Moonbyul said which got a laugh from Yongsun.

"I'll keep that in mind." Yongsun then leaned in for a kiss which Moonbyul reciprocated and as their first kiss was rough and full of love and desperation, this was much softer and filled with nothing but love between the two.

This kiss also lasted much longer than the first one as well since they were both prepared this time. Once they pulled back and regained their oxygen, Yongsun decided to ask her a very important question.

"Moonbyul, would you be my girlfriend?"

Moonbyul couldn't help but smile. "If you be mine?"

Yongsun playfully rolled her eyes as she smirked. "I'll take that as a yes."

"Of course it is, what else could it be?" Moonbyul questioned as she chuckled.

Moonbyul leaned down one last time to let Yongsun know her answer.
