The welcome from the girls, wasn't quite like the one I had in mind. Instead of a warm one, I had Hayoung relentlessly staring into my eyes. Behind her, were Namjoo and Eunji who didn't seemed happy. The other three girls however, were contrastingly amused at the unfolding scene.
 

"How about, we deal with this after I get in? I'm waiting to watch them raid your rooms." I held up my tablet, and made my way through the human barricade.

"Yahh! Why did you lie to us about 'Buying stuff' ?" Hayoung questioned, with a tone of annoyance.

"Because.... 'I'm going to go find my sasaeng fan friends' doesn't seem like a reason you would accept."

"Hey. Knock it off. At least he saved us from those mad fans, right?" Naeun sided me.
 

Just then, Chorong dragged Naeun into her room. I wanted to follow, but the other girls were bombarding me with questions after questions.

Naeun's POV


"Why are you defending him so much? Do you like him?" Chorong tried asking playfully.

"Well, I don't like him. I love him." I answered honestly. "But, more like a brother. Anyway, tell me who that lucky guy is!!! Who is it, that managed to capture the heart of my beautiful leader??"

"What do you mean? What guy??" She panicked.

"What kind of a leader are you?? You won't even introduce to us your boyfriend."

"What?? Since when did I have a boyfriend???" She continued to deny.

"Sigh. I really don't know how to make you tell us about it." I gave up, and simply walked off.
 

Out of a sudden, I felt someone tug my arm. Then, I felt myself lean backwards before I fell. The moment I felt my head hit the carpeted floor, I out.

Seo Joon's POV

I was stuck answering all these questions, when suddenly a thud echoed from my room. Clearly, the other girls heard it as well. I rushed over to my room, and opened the door hurriedly. What I saw, was an unexpected scene. Naeun was lying on the ground, passed out. Chorong however, was completely still, merely staring at Naeun's body. Acting quickly, I dashed to Naeun, and lifted her. I placed an arm under her neck, the other behind her knees, and I pulled her close to me, and placed her down on my bed. Then, I tried checking her pulse from her wrist. Everything was fine. Her pulse was still beating fine. I turned to look at Chorong, who was still shocked over what happened. The other girls, however, quickly rushed to Naeun's beside and started to check up on her. Figuring that she had sufficient attention on her, I left Naeun's side and headed to Chorong.

"You okay??" I waved my arm in front of her face. She didn't respond, still staring at Naeun.

"I didn't mean to..." I heard her mumble.
 

Feeling a need to find out what happened before we came in, I told the girls. "Girls!! Take care of Naeun." I told them, and waited for their acknowledgement which came a while after.

"Let's go to Eunji's room, and talk. Okay?? No one's blaming you though." I whispered to Chorong.
 

I held her hand, and slightly pulled her away. She dragged her feet, whilst we headed for the room furthest away from all the commotion. Once we got in, I locked the door connecting Naeun's and Eunji's room. Then, I pulled Chorong and sat her down on one of the beds. Sitting on the same bed facing her, I started to question her.
 

"Chorong noona!! What happened just now??" I tried.

"I don't know. I really didn't mean to...." She started to freak out, before she covered her ears and mumbled the same thing over and over again.
 

Scrambling to her side, I quickly placed an arm around her waist and pulled her close to me. I slowly peeled her hands away from her ear and whispered. "Noona!! She's fine. She merely passed out like how I did during the pillow fight the other time. She'll wake up in a while."

"Really??" She asked, seeming to have calmed down.

"Yeahh!! Give me a while. I'll go get some water for you." I pulled myself away from her.

"Don't leave me alone, please." She held onto my hand tightly.
 

Giving up, I could only pull her along with me to the coffee table that was about a metre away from where we were. She hugged my arm tightly, and brought it close to her. That pretty much left me with only an arm to pour her water from the kettle.
 

"Drink up." I handed her the cup of cold water.

"Thank you." She released my arm, and sipped on it. "You should also drink a little..." She handed me the cup of remaining water.

"Sure! If you insist." I shrugged and gulped down the rest.

"Come, sit here." I pulled her to the bed again.
