"And we're here!" Chan stopped the car, having reached the venue, and escorted her out of the vehicle. She took his hand to step out of the car, straightening her dress and saying, "Let's go." 

With his hand on the small of her back, he led her inside the club, instantly getting hit with the strong stench of alcohol and defeating music. The entire club was lit up with dim lights, and the indistinct sound of chatter and laughter filled their ears. Chan immediately looked at Ahyoung, who seemed a tad intimidated by the sudden exposure to such loudness. 

"You wanna stay here? We can go if you don't want to-" 

"I'm good, Channie," Ahyoung spoke, pressing her lips together, "I can handle this." 

"Sure?" 

"Sure." 

He kissed her cheek, and a tint of blush flushed her skin. Thankfully, the club was dimly lit, so she was glad that he couldn't see the blush and tease her about it. The two walked further in, and they were instantly greeted by Jisung, who exclaimed over the loud music, "LOVEBIRDS! WELCOME!" 

"Hello," she awkwardly spoke. 

"Jisung..." Chan sighed, "You need to chill." 

"HUH?" Jisung yelled. 

Chan spoke in his ear, "YOU NEED TO CHILL!" 

"WHY ARE YOU YELLING?" 

"ME? I AM THE ONE YELLING?" 

"YEAH, CHAN! HAVE SOME RESPECT!" 

Ahyoung laughed. 

"Y'ALL ENJOY YOURSELVES, HAVE SOME DRINKS! I'LL BE RIGHT BACK!" Jisung spoke, walking over to the entrance to welcome the newcomers. Chan turned to look at Ahyoung, "What would you like to drink?" 

"Some cola, I guess. I cannot handle alcohol," she spoke, and he raised his brows. 

"You've had alcohol before?" 

"Just once. It tasted so bitter and I kept hurling all night," she cringed as she spoke, "Not a good experience for me." 

"Oh, wow," he chuckled, "I can't handle a lot of alcohol either." 

"Then that makes the two of us," she giggled, eyes twinkling even under the shadowy, dim lighting. He laughed, and then ordered for two colas. As the two stood against the bar counter, facing each other, Ahyoung spoke as loud as she could go, "It's very noisy here!" 

"I know! Do you wanna go outside?" 

"Yes!" 

The two of them grabbed their drinks, heading to the entrance of the club. Once it was quieter, the two sat on one of the tables set outside, within the premises. She took a sip of her drink, "Do you go to parties often?" 

"I used to, but then I realized that every time I go, I'll be forced to drink by my friends and I won't be able to handle it. So I distanced myself a bit. This is the first one I have gone to in six months," Chan shrugged. 

She chuckled, "Peer pressure, I see." 

"True!" he made comical hand gestures as he tried to explain, "I don't want to, but I am compelled to, and even though I'm supposed to be the responsible one, I give in and end up drunk." 

"You don't always need to be the responsible one, Channie," Ahyoung smiled, "It's okay to give up control." 

"Not in bed," he winked, and she gaped at him, "Chan!" 

He laughed, "Joking, joking!" 

"But, like..." she asked, trailing off, "What is it like controlling during... you know..." 

Chan smirked, leaning in closer to her face and saying, "I can show you." 

Her face got heated pretty quickly, and she stammered, "I-I, uh, I mean, um-" 

"You're so cute, it hurts!" he laughed yet again, and she complained, "You're so mean!" 

"I can be meaner, give me a chance to prove it," Chan did not stop -- he could not stop, especially after seeing her so flustered. 

Ahyoung was at a loss of words, and he spoke again, "Good. Save that voice to scream my name later, princess." 

"You're so...!" she cried out, cupping her cheeks with her palms to hide her blush. Chan fondly giggled, placing his hands on top of hers. 

"I like you so, so much, baby. You're so damn precious," he planted a kiss on her nose, making her crack a smile. 

Ahyoung sat before him, wondering if she should say it. She liked him, too, right? It was the perfect place, perfect setting, perfect moment for her to confess that she, indeed, liked him; perhaps as much as he liked her. She could do it, right? 

"I... Chan, I-" 

All of a sudden, they heard Jisung's yell from behind, 

"Hey, Hyunjin! Didn't think you would come!" 

(a/n: dun dun dunnnnn~
