The alcohol was getting to Hayoung. She was getting sleepy, dozing off on Sehun's shoulder. 

"I should take her home," he told his friends, who were still talking and laughing.

"Yeah of course... bye Sehun!" Hyeri slurred. 

Jongin and Tao helped get Hayoung onto Sehun's back and he set off for the car after bidding his friends goodbye.

Hayoung was still fast asleep when they reached the car. 

As he loaded her in the passenger seat, he looked at her face.

She was sleeping peacefully, her cheeks flushed from the alcohol. Her lips were slightly puckered, like she was pouting. 

Sehun couldn't believe how cute she was. He wanted to kiss her.

He shook his head to try to get rid of that thought.

When they got home, he tucked her in and went to bed as well, thinking about how it would feel to have her lips on his.

Sehun woke up the next morning to the smell of eggs.

He walked out to find Hayoung making breakfast.

She turned around to look at him. "Morning!"

He couldn't help but blurt out, "Y-you... missed me?" Sehun could feel his heart beating faster. 

"Of course, silly! You were my closest friend," she replied with a smile.

"I missed you too." 

"You know when we was little, I had a huge crush on you," she confessed. 

Sehun looked at Hayoung in shock, his heart feeling like it would beat out of his chest, but she looked like it wasn't a big deal.

How could she sound so casual?

He didn't know what to say. 

She laughed. "Did I catch you off guard? Sorry! Being with you just brings back a lot of fond memories of our childhood." 

Sehun could only reply pathetically, "Me too."
