It was New Year’s Eve and the boys were getting ready to go to the club. Except for Daehyun. He was sitting on the railing of the staircase, patiently waiting for you to come back home.

Yongguk came out of his room, dressed out nicely in black. “Yeojin isn’t back yet?”

Daehyun shook his head. Himchan came out, “Maybe she’s spending the night with her friend.”

“Then she would’ve called me.” Yongguk took out his phone. Right when he was about to call you, the door swung open and you came in. “Where the hell have you been?!”

You blinked and held up the bag of groceries, “I was at the market.”

“Get ready.” Yongguk said. “Youngjae, Jongup take the groceries from her.” They took the bags from you and went into the kitchen.

“Get ready? For what?” You asked. “For our New Year’s celebration.” Yongguk replied as he put on his shoes. “Oh. We’re going ice skating again?” You blinked. “No.” Yongguk answered.

“We’re going back to the hip hop club!” Himchan helpfully said.

“WHAT?!” Your jaw dropped. “Uh-uh.” You shook your head and stepped back, “I’m not going back there again.”

“So what? You’ll spend New Year’s Eve alone?” Yongguk asked.

You shrugged, “Why not?”

*She won’t be alone because I’ll be here. If she stays, I stay.* Daehyun crossed his arms.

Yongguk rolled his eyes, “Don’t be stubborn and go change.” You crossed your arms and shook your head, “No way. I’m staying home. That’s the end.”

Yongguk and Himchan met eyes. Before you knew it, they had picked you up by the arms and were dragging you to the van. “Oppas, wait!” You kicked about, “This is not right! Where’s my freedom of choice?!”

Daehyun hopped off the railing *I guess we’re going after all.* He went to his room to get a jacket.

Half an hour later, six blonde boys and one unhappy girl were at the hip hop club. You stubbornly crossed your arms with a frown. “This is so unfair! I don’t want to spend my New Year’s here!”

“But you want to spend it with us, don’t you?” Himchan winked.

You sighed and mumbled, “I guess.”

“Enjoy the night!” Himchan planted a kiss on your cheek and walked off.

You made a face as you rubbed the kiss off *How can I enjoy the night when I’m somewhere I don’t belong?* You looked around for anyone that stayed. Only Daehyun had remained behind. “I don’t think neither of us belong here. Should we leave?” You asked.

Yongguk appeared out of nowhere, “Don’t even think about it.” Your shoulders deflated. He handed you a glass of lemonade, patted your head, and disappeared into the thick crowd. You took a sip and made a face. It was way too sour for your taste. Daehyun chuckled secretly *Her expression was so cute.*

“Might as well sit.” You headed to the empty end of the bar. You hopped onto a stool and sipped your lemonade bit by bit. Daehyun sat next to you. You looked around the thriving scenery. Up on the stage, Yongguk was rapping. Down on the dance floor, Jongup was showing off his dancing moves. *I never knew oppas had all these hidden talents.* You looked at Daehyun. His gaze shifted to you.

“Do you have any hidden talents?”

He blinked at you.

“Yongguk oppa and Zelo can rap. Himchan oppa and Youngjae oppa sings. And Jongup oppa knows how to dance. What about you? Can you rap, sing, or dance?” You should’ve known better than to expect a forthright answer from him. “Never mind.” You sighed and rested your elbow on the bar. You checked the time. It was a quarter after 11. *45 minutes until New Year.*

Ten more minutes passed. You were dying of boredom and Daehyun wasn’t exactly helping you either. You hopped off the stool, “I’m going to go look for Yongguk oppa.” You slipped through the crowd, “Excuse me. Sorry. Can I get through?” Out of nowhere, someone snatched your arm and pulled you back. You whirled around and your eyes widened in surprise. “Zico?”

His smile fell and he raised an eyebrow, “I thought I told you to call me oppa.”

“Oh. Right. Zico oppa.” You fixed and he smiled again.

“What are you doing here?” You asked.

“You’re asking me? This is my territory.” Zico smirked and lightly poke
