"You're kidding," Nathan said with a sigh.

"I wish I was..." You said as you flopped yourself on the couch.

"So what are you going to do?" Nathan asked taking a seat on the other side.

"There's nothing I can really do. I have to finish my studies there and find a job soon, I don't have time to worry about them." You sighed and sat up straight and stretched your arms in the air, hearing a slight pop to your satisfaction.

"Don't worry about the job, just take your time, and as long as you don't pay attention to them, I don't think they can do any real harm." He flashed you a smile but you looked at him with an awkward one.

"What's wrong?" He asked while squinting his eyes in suspicion. "Better said, what did you do?"

"Well....I might have accepted Zen's invitation to his next concert to talk afterward..." Nathan let out a long sigh.

"Don't tell me you're going to forgive them for what they did?" He asked you seeming somewhat ticked off. You looked away and shrugged your shoulders.

"I dunno. Maybe?"

"Y/n-"

"Just hear me out. What happened before was only because they wanted to be relieved of the contract. And from what I remember about the last conversation they had; Yoosung, Zen, Jaehee, and Jumin weren't completely on board with what Seven was planning."

"What do you mean?" He asked lifting an eyebrow.

"That they were following orders because they had no other choice. Seven was the leader, so he's the one to blame, not the others." Nathan sighed once again.

"Damn Y/n, why do you have to be so considerate?" He chuckled and pulled you into a side hug, making you lean your head on his shoulder. "Just be careful. I almost lost you once, I don't want that happening again." He kissed the crown of your head.

"Don't worry, I won't make the same mistake twice." You smiled at him. "Well, I'd better get something to eat before going to bed, care to join me?" You stood up and held your hand out for his.

"Of course!"

"Good morning class." Said your teacher while entering the classroom. Thankfully you got to class early and choose a seat in the back next to the window since you wanted to be like the main character of an anime. But as the last of the students started pouring into the classroom, you noticed Yoosung coming in too.

So he's in this class too?

Yoosung noticed you and took the chance to take a seat next to you.

"Hey." Was all he said to you as he sat down. You looked at him and with a short wave you replied with a small

"Hi." Yoosung smiled at the fact that you at least greeted him.

"Alright class, my name is Ms.Klapthor." As always, the teacher did an introduction to the class and then gave us "Homework for the next class will be done in pairs." 

Yoosung instantly looked to you and you looked back at him with a smile and a small nod. His eyes lit up like a Christmas tree making you chuckle slightly.

He still kinda acts like a kid.

Time passed and the class went on without you or Yoosung saying another word to each other, but it was fine.

"I'll post on the online blackboard the specifications of the homework. You may be dismissed." The teacher packed her things and left. Meanwhile, you were still putting your notebooks in your bag.

"H-Hey..." Yoosung began.

"Hey." You replied feeling somewhat uneasy.

"Um...about the homework, you wanna do it in my apartment?" Yoosung realized that what he said could have a double meaning. "I-I mean the homework! Do the homework at my apartment, not anything else, you know, just the homework." He corrected with a blushing red face. You tried to stiffle your laughter before you answered.

"Yeah, that's fine with me." 

"G-Great! What's your schedule? You know, to see what other classes we have together." Yoosung took out his phone to look for his schedule and you did the same. Once you two got it, you guys held your phone's side to side.

"looks like we have classes together on Monday, Tuesday, and Friday." You said.

"Yeah, well...then I'll see you on Monday Y/n." Yoosung said in a somewhat sad tone.

"Yeah, we'll keep in contact so we can finish the homework." You said casually.

"Yeah. Well, bye Y/n." He said with a sad smile.

"Bye Yoosung." You waved goodbye and walked out of the room and let go of a breath you didn't even know you were holding.

Reset?

"Nathan!~" You called out as you entered your apartment.

Guess he's still at work...

You smiled devilishly and went to the stereo and blasted your music.

You liked taking opportunities like this to do as you please but all too soon you could hear your neighbor banging on the right side of your apartment wall.

"Hey! Keep it down damn it!!" You flinched hearing the random voice.

"Sorry!!" You Yelled back as you put down the volume.

"Hey babe." Nathan said as he walked in the apartment. He looked tired and worn out.

"Hey, Nathan, what's up? How was work? Wow, I sounded like I was a wife." You said with a smile. Nathan chuckled at your statement.

"That doesn't sound too bad." He joked.

"But what's up? Why do you look like..."

"Shit?"

"Yup."

"Haha. You want the good news or bad news first?" You raised an eyebrow in question.

"Good then bad."

"Alright, well my dad's company is really skyrocketing and he wants me to help him manage it."

"That's great!" You said while jumping up and giving him a hug."What's the bad news?"

"I have to stay longer to help him out." You shrugged your shoulders.

"It's fine Nathan, as long as you're doing what you love." You smiled at him. Nathan looked at you with a smirk.

"Theirs also something else I'd like to do." He gave you a seductive grin and pulled you closer to his body.

You chuckled and simply placed your finger on his forehead to push him away.

"Nice try Nate, but I didn't burn my finger for you not to eat dinner."

~

You were up and already getting ready for your class.

*RIIIIIING RIIIING*

You looked at your phone.

"Unknown number?" You raised an eyebrow and answered.

"Hello?"

"H-Hey Y/n!" Yoosung answered. You sighed in relief. You somewhat expected Sevens twin Saeran to answer.

I wonder...is he real-?

"Y/n?" Yoosung repeated.

"Oh! Hey, Yoosung!" You said coming back to earth.

"You're already awake?"

"Yup! I've got classes at 8." You said as you packed your bag.

"Looks like you get up earlier than before." He said with a small chuckle.

"Haha, yeah, that's true."

"So does that mean you won't need a morning wake-up call?" He asked. You started to remember how he would call you to wake you up in the morning and couldn't help but feel somewhat bad about everything.

"I think it would be nice to have a morning call, even if it's just to chat a bit." You answered with a chuckle. Yoosung couldn't help but gasp happily.

"Then it's settled! You got your Yoosung alarm clock back!" He said enthusiastically. "Oh! By the way, when can we meet up to start that homework?" You thought about it as you left your room and walked to the kitchen, also seeing Nathan there.

"Morning hon." Nathan said casually as he walked over to you and placed a small peck on your lips. "Who are you talking to?" He looked at you with his head tilted. "Nobody ever calls you." He joked making you playfully smack his arm.

"I'm talking to Yoosung!" With a humph, you got back to what you were doing and was about to answer Yoosung but he spoke up first.

"Who was that?" He asked.

"Huh? Oh, that's just Nathan, you don't need to pAY ANY MINE TO HIM!" You said the last part louder so Nathan could hear you. He stuck his tongue out at you and you mimicked him.

"Oh, um...so you were saying?" He said trying to get back to your original conversation.

"Right! How about we meet up on Friday after class?"

"Sure! That's fine with me. Why don't we do it at my place? It's pretty close to the college." Yoosung said in hopes of not having to go to your place and see Nathan. You thought about it for a second before answering.

"That's fine with me! Oh, I've gotta go, I have to eat breakfast." You said with a smile.

"Kay! Talk to you later!" He said happily knowing that there will be a next time.

"Yup! Bye bye!" You hung up and ate breakfast and you started thinking,

Can things really go back to how they were before?
