Song Suggestion : Ateez - Light

"Ready?" Hongjoong asked as the two infront of him were having a silent battle while staring at each other. The others 5 members circled around.

"Whoever lose, you're buying all the list food here in convenience store using your own money" Seonghwa stated again as reminder.

The 8 members were finally done with their filming schedule, and all the production crew already went back to Seoul, leaving the 8 boys with their 2 managers (who are apparently staying in a different pension too). It's their first night in Jeju without any camera stuck in their face 24/7, and they decided to spend it with a movie night. As for the snack, the loser in Rock Paper Scissors will be the one buying all the listed food at the hotel convenience store.

"But this is suprising, for Yunho to stuck at this kind of game. He usually the first one to win" Mingi commented.

"I hope you're running out of luck just for today, and let me win instead" Wooyoung said his eyes fixed at Yunho's hands, trying to read which one Yunho going to put out for this final game.

"Okay then. Rock Paper Scissors!" All of them shouted.

Yunho and Wooyoung each held out their hands, with Wooyoung ended up winning with Scissors.

They all roared at the unexpected outcome "No way man, is Yunho finally running out of luck now?" Yeosang asked still in disbelief.

San patted Yunho's shoulder "Not your day huh"

Yunho sighed as he stood up "Okay okay, give me the paper. I'll go buy now" he took the paper from Hongjoong's hand, grabbing his sweater along the way and walked out of the pension, headed straight to the lobby and walked passed the pool to go to convenience store.

He noticed a familiar figure and stopped his track as he rubbed his eyes and stared few seconds at the girl sitting on the pool bench "Arin.." he whispered as he recognized her.

From where he's standing, he could only see Arin side profile. He noticed she was still wearing the same dress when he met her earlier in the morning. *She's gonna get cold wearing like that at night time though..* 

From far, he could see Arin let out a heavy sighed as she drew her knees toward her chest, hugging her knees firmly. He contemplates whether to approach her or not. But her sombre expressions makes him hard to leave her alone.

He turned away and walked few steps before taking a detour and back to where he was standing. He let out a heavy sighed "Seriously, make up your mind idiot" He mumbled getting mad at himself for being so indecisive.

He approached Arin slowly, and he reached right behind her but Arin was so immersed in staring at the pool blankly that she didn't realize his presence.

He clears his throat to get her attention, and Arin jumped in suprised turning to Yunho so fast that she almost fell behind from the pool bench. Yunho with his fast reflex, immediately leaned down and grabbed her arms.

He couldn't see her face that clear due to the dim light, but he noticed her eyes were slightly red now that he's few inches away from her *Did she .. cried?*

Yunho slowly pulled Arin into a sitting position, and release her arms "You're terribly clumsy you know that? You could have fell into the water if it weren't for me saving you" 

Arin frowned "Well ... thank you for saving me.. again if I might add. But you could have said hi or something. You had no idea how scared I was just now. Thought there were a ghost or something" she exhaled shakily as she put her hands on her chest feeling her heartbeat still beating rapidly.

Yunho chuckled as he posed V signs with his hand "Ever seen this kind of good-looking ghost?"

Arin expression flattened "Narcissictic much?" *Though he IS good looking, can't deny that*

"If you don't mind some company, can I sit?" Yunho laughed at her response as he asked her, referring to the empty bench next to her.

Arin gave him a small smile as she gestured towards the vacant pool bench "Of course not. Please do sit" 

He took a seat on the pool bench "Is everything..okay? Why are you sitting alone around this time?"

Arin hesitated to answer but she shook her head slowly "I wouldn't say everything is okay" she paused as she bited her lips to supress her emotions when she remembers the encounter with Dojin.

Yunho looked at her carefully "I don't know what happened, but if things get too hard, don't keep everything to yourself. Sometimes, it's better to just let it out"

Arin turned to look at Yunho before she break out into a chuckle "You.. sounds like Rahi. She said the exact same thing- ACHOO! "

Arin sneezed as she rubbed her arms feeling chilly as the night is getting colder.

Yunho took off his sweater and wrapped it around Arin's shoulder without saying much.

Arin looked up to him in suprised, she wanted to deny his kindness but before she could do that, Yunho stopped her "Don't even think of rejecting this. You're definitely feeling cold, so just take it"

Arin looked away, her cheeks flushed as she wore his sweater properly and half zipped it. To be honest, she was freezing at this point, therefore even if she's embarassed on accepting it, she feels grateful that Yunho offered his sweater to her.

"Thank you.. again. I've been thanking you a lot since we've met the first day" *This sweater smells like him* The thought of that makes her feels fuzzy and warm.

Yunho softly gazed at her "You're welcome. You should go back though. Your boyfriend will be worried if you spend time outside too long" *At least I know I will be worried sick*

"Yea, I think I should.." Arin replied but stopped her sentence and turned to Yunho in confusion "My boyfriend..?"

Yunho stared at her in confusion too "He's your boyfriend ... Jaejin right?" 

She paused before breaking out into a round of laughter "Oh no no. He's a very dear friend to me. We get that a lot, but we're not in that kind of relationship. That's weird, it feels like dating your own brother" she grimaced at the thought.

There were only silence in the air for few seconds as Yunho and Arin neither say anything.

*So... I was misunderstanding things? But he kissed her... Is that normal between friends nowadays?* he battle inside his mind, his expression clearly confused.

Arin waved her hands infront of his face to get his attention. Yunho snapped back to reality as Arin gave her an odd look "Are you okay? Why do you look so confused?"

"I.. I mean I thought he's your boyfriend. You guys don'
