-----

It was Saturday night, and Jungah was at Zico’s apartment.

It was a weekly tradition. Every Saturday night, if Zico was home, she would go over to his place for dinner.

Jungah stood against the kitchen counter with her arms crossed. She watched Block B pull out napkins, beer, and other plastic utensils from cupboards and drawers. A sweet hip hop song was playing in the air.

“Ow, !” U-Kwon burned his finger on the stove and wagged his finger furiously. “We already ordered pizza. I don’t know why you’re cooking fried rice.” B-Bomb shook his head. “Because I want to, all right? I can’t go a meal without Korean food. K pride, got it?” U-Kwon hummed along to the song as he cooked.

“Want to help him, Jungah? Aww, I forgot. The Bull has no cooking skills whatsoever.” Kyung groaned.

Jungah raised her foot and kicked him in the .

Kyung crashed into the refrigerator, “Damn! The Bull struck me with her horns!”

“Shut up, Park Kyung, before I kick you in the front, too.” Jungah threatened with a cocked eyebrow. Kyung covered his private area and skittered off sideways like a crab. Jungah shook her head as she tried to hide her smile.

Zico came into the kitchen wearing a black and silver jacket. His hood was pulled over his head, and he was holding empty soda cans and beer to throw away. Zico sang along to the song. His voice was low, husky, and made Jungah’s heart flutter ten times faster.

Zico met eyes with her and sang closely to her. He moved his head side-to-side in a silly manner.

Jungah turned her head, “Stop it.”

Zico continued to mock her as he sang in her face.

“Seriously, shut up.” She shoved him in the chest lightly.

Zico laughed as he went to throw the cans into the recycle bin. This time, Jungah couldn’t hide her smile.

“I should go out for Superstar K or something. Man, I’m good.” Zico snapped his fingers. “Someone thinks way too highly of himself.” Jungah snorted. “Don’t worry. I’ll still remember you when I become a hip-hop star.” He winked. She rolled her eyes, but her lips had curved upwards.

DINGDONG.

“ZICO HYUNG! WE NEED YOUR WALLET!” P.O. hollered.

“I DON’T KNOW WHERE IT IS! IT’S RUNNING LATE! WHY DON’T YOU ASK YOUR WALLET TO HELP YOU INSTEAD?” Zico called back.

“HYUNG!” P.O. roared. “Fine, fine. Aish.” Zico pulled out his black wallet and left the kitchen. He paid the delivery boy, thanked him, and shut the door.

“Come get your pizza!” Taeil called. U-Kwon placed his rice on the plate and gleefully walked towards the living room. “Come on, Bull.” Kyung nodded at her. Jungah strode towards him, and he ran away instantly.

“Come, Jungie~ Jungie~” Zico waved her over. Jungah shot Kyung a scornful look then walked towards Zico. He patted the space on the couch next to him, and she sat down.

“Food!” P.O. opened the pizza box and greedily pulled one out. Zico slapped his hand, and P.O.’s pizza dropped back into the box. “Ow, hyung! What was that for?!” He complained. “Did you even wash your hands?” Zico scrutinized him, “Do you know how much bacteria there is? Do you want to get sick and die? Go wash your hands first.”

P.O. pouted but got up and went to wash his hands.

“Dang. Look at Dr. Phil here.” Taeil chortled. “Isn’t Dr. Phil a psychologist? Fail, man, fail.” Kyung shook his head. Everyone laughed. Zico looked towards Jungah and peered at her, “Did you wash your hands?” She raised an eyebrow, “Did you?”

Zico paused then grinned, “Good point. Let’s go wash our hands.” He pulled her up by the elbow and dragged her to the bathroom. P.O. came out of the bathroom and went to eat. Zico lightly pushed her towards his sink and the hot water. Jungah ran her fingers through the warm water. Zico squirted liquid hand soap onto her palms, and she rubbed them together. Zico began to wash his hands also and many suds appeared on his large hands. “I feel like we’re in Kindergarten.”

“You’re way too big to be a Kindergarten.” Jungah remarked.

“Hey, hey! Don’t be so mean! TEACHER! JUNGIE-JUNGIE CALLED ME FAT!” Zico waved his arm in the air.

Jungah rolled her eyes and shook her head as she placed her foamy hands back under the faucet to rinse off the soap, “Fool.” Zico placed his hands underneath the faucet also. “Don’t hog all the water.” Jungah scowled. Zico grinned at her. He sprinkled water into her face.

“YAH! AISH! ZICO!” Jungah yelped. Zico continued to splash her with water and burst into laughter. Jungah wiped her cheek with her shoulder and narrowed her eyes at him. *Oh yeah?* She cupped her hands together and filled them with water. Then she threw the water at him. Zico sputtered in shock as water dripped off his face.

Jungah smirked, “That’s why you don’t mess with me. You get paid back twice.”

“And if you mess with me, you get triple the consequences. Come here!” Zico grabbed her and splashed her with water. Jungah shrieked as the cold water dripped down her face and soaked her sweater. “WOO JIHO!” She struggled and fought back.

Zico’s hood had fallen off his head now, and they were both soaked to the bone.

Jungah squirmed out of his grasp and tried to run away but ended up slipping on the wet tiles. Zico’s eyes widened when he saw her falling back. He quickly caught her by the waist and reflexively pressed her against his broad chest. Jungah’s eyes rounded at the quick action. She shifted her gaze upwards to see Zico’s face just inches away, and her eyes widened even more. Her hands were pressed against his strongly beating chest. Her heart was also racing in the same fast pace. Zico stared back down at her. There was no joke on his face for once. He seemed just as mesmerized as she was.

*I’m not imagining things, right? Zico’s heart
