You were standing in front of the door to yours and Howon’s practice room, rehearsing what you’d say to him.

“Hey, about yesterday, Sunggyu oppa told me that you helped me by bring me to his house without any form of transportation and that I passed out and then you left and he fed me and took care of me the whole day and then he told me – no, that’s too long.” You shook your head. “Thanks. No that’s too short. Thank youuuu –“ Howon opened the door and saw you talking to yourself.

“I thought I heard some muttering behind the door.” He said, opening the door wider for you to come in.

“Uh, yeah, that was me.” You said nervously. “Thanks… for yesterday.”

“What?” He asked, “I couldn’t hear you.”

“I said thank you for yesterday.” You said louder.

“I know,” He said. “I just wanted to hear it again.”

You stared at him. “Wow. Just wow.”

“It’s not every day I hear you say thank you, might as well make the most of it.”

You lightly slapped his arm. He feigned hurt.

“Oh, I’m sorry, did that hurt?” You jokingly hit him again.

“Hey!”

It’s been like that for the past few days. Howon and you got along well for once. He and you would joke around a lot and actually enjoy lunch with each other. During these days, you started to see him differently – in a more romantic light. You told yourself over and over that you couldn’t and wouldn’t like him, but the heart wants what it wants. You’ve tried thinking of the negative things about him to stop, but nothing particular comes to mind. When you love someone, it’s hard to find something you dislike because they’re perfect in your eyes. You tried thinking of the time where the both of you were in conflict, but it didn’t prevail. But, to make things worse, you’ve been having some feelings for Sunggyu as well. The way he always takes care of you, makes sure you’re doing alright, calling/visiting you at least once a day to check up on you, etc. You were torn between two.

One day, on your day off, Sunggyu called your phone. You were at home, listening to music and reading.

“Yoboseyo?”

“~~~-ah, it’s Sunggyu oppa!” He said cheerily.

“Mhm? Did you need something?” You asked, flipping a page.

“Do you want to go on a date today?”

~~~ is preparing to go into super spazz mode.

“Yeah, sure! Where do I meet you?” You asked, trying to contain your excitement.

“In front of Woollim at twelve. I’ll see you there.”

“Arasso, bye oppa,” You hung up and looked at the clock.

It was 11:00 am. You showered and went to pick out your outfit. Instead of your us
