~Natalie's POV~

After Hongki turned to rejoin the rest of his band mates, I looked back at Seunghyun, thinking about what just happened. I discretely touched my cheek, and it felt warm. I always hated the fact that I blushed so easily. Whenever I tried to seem impassive about something, my cheeks would sell me out every time.

We spent the remainder of the afternoon in rehearsals at the FNC studio, and the guys went through a bunch of their different songs. I told them that they were really good, but that I had no idea what they were singing about. They just laughed at me.

I froze for a moment. "Uh...no..." I managed to stutter out. Yes, I thought in my head, Absolutely yes. Please don't do this to me...

She sighed, "You're kind of, like, the only other person I know around here, you know? But, like, me and Hongki are...I don't even know what to call it. Has
