When I arrived back at the dorm, I was surprised to see a pair of heels at our doorstep. Normally I was the only one who had heels and the guys kept their performance heels (those they wear when they dance to girl groups) in the shoe closet. I shrugged it off and saw some members on the sofa.

"Annyeong oppas." I said
"Annyeong ___-ah, come try this!" They said while pointing to the cake on their hands
I walked towards them and tasted the cake, it was delicious and I didn't believe they bake it because Ryeowook wasn't home.
"Oppa did you all bake it? I thought Ryeowook oppa's not home?" I asked
"Nah, not us, Hyoyeon and Eunhyuk are baking it in the kitchen right now because we just finished the first batch." Heechul said
"Hyoyeon unnie?" I asked while my heart sanked
"Yeah, guess what? They patched back together last night at the party!" Sungmin said excitedly
"You left early last night so I don't think you saw them! Eunhyuk-ah, Hyoyeon-ah, come out!" Heechul shouted
Just then, the two lovebirds came out holding hands. When Hyoyeon saw me, she threw me a smug look and looked away.
"Congratulations Hyukjae oppa and Hyoyeon unnie." I said expressionless. My mood went down again
"Thank you ___-ah! I guess you tasted the cake we made? I think it's better than the one that you and oppa tried to make the previous time but failed?" She said smugly
"Yeah, it's nice. You all did a good job." I said, still not looking at them
"____-ah, let's bake together next time!" Eunhyuk said
"We'll say next time." I said coldly and went upstairs to my room

"Why is she treating me so coldly? Is it because I'm with Hyoyeon? Doesn't she like Donghae?" Eunhyuk thought

 When I reached my room, I slammed the door and tears rolled down my cheeks. This was when I realized Hyoyeon knew I liked Eunhyuk all this while, even before I knew. I took my swimming suit and toiletries, wiped away my tears and left my room.

I avoided Eunhyuk and Hyoyeon successfully since they were in the kitchen but the boys held me back.
"___-ah, where are you going?" Kyuhyun asked
"Oppa I'm going swimming." I said
"___-ah, you look very pale, are you sure you can go swimming?" He said
"Yup, I'll be fine!" I said
"Okay then, take care!" He said
"Deh, annyeong oppas!" I said and left the house quickly

I took a bus to the nearest swimming complex and decided to swim. I'd always go to the pool to swim whenever I have problems and it was a good way of taking my mind off things. I changed into my swimming suit and did warm ups before starting to swim.
After swimming 25 laps, I was exhausted. I glanced at the swimming pool clock and it read 6:30pm. I reckoned Henry must have called me but I headed to shower first before calling him back.

When I took out my phone, it had 20 miss calls and 7 texts.

From: Mochi (5:40pm)
Princess, I'm done! Where are you?"

From: Mochi (5:45pm)
Princess, where are you? Don't do anything silly!

From: Mochi (5:50pm)
Princess why aren't you picking up my calls? Call me back!

From: Mochi (5:55pm)
Oh my god you are freaking me out why aren't you answering my calls?!

From: Mochi (6:05pm)
CALL ME BACK!

From: Donghae(6:08pm)
____-ah, where are you? Henry's looking for you! Call us.

From: Mochi (6:10pm)
Princess if you are not calling me back within 30minutes I'm going to the police. I'm serious.

I called him immediately when I read the last message because I knew how anxious he was. He picked up immediately on the first ring.

"Princess! Are you alright?! Where are you?! I've been calling you but you didn't pick up!" He said at one go
"Relax, mochi. I went swimming so I didn't check my phone." I said calmy
"Oh. So you are at the swimming complex now? I'll pick you up!" He said
"Sure. I'll meet you at the entrance." I said
"Okay. Donghae hyung's coming with us too." He said
"Okay, see you guys later." I said and hung up

I walked slowly to the entrance and chuckled to myself when I re-read Henry's texts.
After 5 minutes, Henry's car pulled up in the driveway and I boarded the backseat.

"Annyeong Donghae oppa and mochi!" I said
"Annyeong!" They both said
"What do you want to eat?" Donghae asked
"Pizza!" I said excitedly
"Pizza it is then!" Henry said

We headed to a nearby pizza restaurant and decided to eat there.
"One large pepperoni and hawaiian pizza, 4 drumlets, 1 serving of french fries and 3 cokes. Thank you." I told my order to the waiter
"Woah, you sure you can finish?" Donghae asked
"Yeah, I'm hungry." I said
"Okay, we'll finish it with you." Henry said
"So, how's your day?" Donghae asked
"Fine? I went to the park and a little boy gave me a sunflower which really made me happy, then my best friend which I consider my sister called me and we chatted!" I smiled while thinking about what happen today.
"That's good! So you had a great day!" Henry said
"Not really. I went home and I saw... yeah." I said sadly
"Saw who?" Donghae asked
"Hyoyeon unnie came over to bake. The cake she baked was really great, I bet her culinary skills are better than mine, since the last time I tried to bake with Hyukjae oppa I couldn't even bake the cake well even if I had the recipe book." I said while still embarrassed and sad
"She came over? How dare she..." Donghae mumbled to himself
"Don't worry princess, I bet your cooking is better than her!" He said
"Nah, I can only do simple dishes. I guess that's why oppa chose her over me?" I chuckled dryly.
"It's his loss. I'm gonna talk to him about it when I get home." Donghae said
"Oppa, don't! I don't want him to feel guilty or anything. After all, it's my wishful thinking, nothing to do with him." I said
"What wishful thinking?! He loves you too and we all can see it!" Donghae said
"Nah, I guess I thought too much. Forget it. The pizza's here!" I said while changing the subject

They both seemed to get the hint that I didn't want to continue the conversation so they just nodded and we started eating the pizza. I could see that Donghae and Henry were both very full from the pizza but they still ate to accompany me. We were all bloated by the time we finished everything and left the store after paying the bill.

After dinner, we headed back to the dorms, with me being reluctant to go back. Henry pulled me along because he didn't want me out so late alone. When we got back, the members were at the dining table eating, with a new addition, Hyoyeon.

"____-ah, Henry-ah, Donghae-ah, you guys are back! Let's eat together! Hyoyeon cooked dinner for us!" Heechul said
I cringed when I heard her name and I could see Eunhyuk eyeing me from his side, waiting for my reaction.
"It's okay, we ate already. I'm going up to my room first." I said and went upstairs
"Yeah, we ate. I'm going up." Henry said while shooting a glare to Eunhyuk and Hyoyeon
"Donghae-ah, come here and eat with us!" Eunhyuk said
"No thanks. I think the pizza I had was nicer." Donghae said and went to the sofa to watch tv.
Eunhyuk sighed at the way they were acting. He didn't even know why they were acting this way and it was killing him.

I went back to my room, feeling empty once again. I was feeling really happy till I saw them, together, again for the 2nd time today. I didn't feel like staying in the house and left my room to head out for a walk.
When I was going down the stairs, I met Eunhyuk on the way. I was about to walk pass him when he blocked my exit.
"Why are you doing this?" He asked
"Doing what?" I asked coldly
"Ignoring me, acting like I don't exist." He said
"I'm not." I denied
"You are." He said
"I'm not, now will you please excuse me." I said while pushing him away.
He grabbed my wrist to prevent me from going away and pulled me closer to him. I gulped at the close contact between us when Hyoyeon ruined the moment by walking over.
"Oppa, I want to see the interesting book you told me about today!" Hyoyeon said to him while glancing at me
"Sure." He said while letting go of my hands
To be honest, I was quite disappointed when he let go of my hands. I missed hugging him and being affectionate with him and laughing it off, but now, I just couldn't do it.

I went downstairs to see the members looking at me worriedly. They seemed to have heard a little of my conversation with Eunhyuk but acted like they didn't.
"I'm going out for a walk." I said
"At this hour?" Leeteuk asked
"Yeah, I think the pizza I ate just now haven't digested." I said, which was true, I was still feeling bloated
"But it's really late, it'll be dangerous." Kangin warned
"I'll be fine." I insisted
"I'll go with you." Donghae said
"Okay then" I said and we left after the members were assured.

"Donghae oppa, thank you." I said
"For?" He asked
"For everything. Being there for me when I cried, eating pizza with me, taking walks with me, everything that you do for me, I appreciate it." I said
"____-ah, remember what I said? I'm your guardian angel." Donghae said
I chuckled and clinged onto his arm while saying "Oppa, can you treat hyukjae oppa better? Don't distance yourself from him because of me."
"I'm not." He denied
"Oppa don't lie. I would feel worse if I realized the friendship between you two is broken because of me." I said apologetically
"Alright, I will talk to him again." He said
"Yay, oppa jjang!" I smiled and swung his arm around
We sat down on a bench and looked at the stars,when Donghae broke the silence.

"____-ah, remember our first date?" He asked
"Yeah, we went stargazing!" I said
"It's beautiful, isn't it?" He said
"Yeah it is." I said while feeling tired
"I wanted to tell her so badly how I felt, but I reckon this is not the good time to tell her about my feelings." Donghae thought to himself when suddenly he felt a weight on his shoulders. _____ had fallen asleep and was leaning on his shoulders. He thought she must be tired from all the emotional things she was going through in one day and decided to carry her in bridal style slowly back to the dorms.

-Donghae's POV-
When we got back to the dorms, some members were already back in their rooms while some were still in the living room. The members turned their heads towards me with a confused expression on their faces but I just signalled to them I will explain later.

After putting ____ down in her room, I found Eunhyuk standing at the doorway when he suddenly talked to me.
"Hae, what's wrong with her?" He asked
I was shocked he didn't knew what was going on, couldn't he see it was because of him?
"She's really tired." I said
"I realized she's been avoiding me since I'm with Hyoyeon." He said
"I don't think she should be sticking to you if you are with your girlfriend, right?" I said
"You can talk to her about it." I said
"She's avoiding me." He sighed and walked away
"Wait, Hyukjae-ah, can I ask you something?" I said
"What?" He said
"Do you like ___?" I asked
He froze at my question and blinked for a few seconds before saying "I'll be honest. I'm not sure about what I'm feeling now. I just got back with Hyoyeon and I don't want anymore drama now." He said before walking away
Seeing his reaction, I was positive he had ____ in his heart, he just didn't want to admit it.

I went downstairs to tell the members that ____ was too tired so she ended up falling asleep on my shoulder while I brought her back. They nodded their heads and I went back to my room.
