"The food is here!"

Jay immediately let go of Haesoo from
his arm. He cleared his throat, trying so hard to avoid his gaze on her because of the awkwardness between them. He brushed his back neck and looked at his friends who suddenly approached the bathroom. Yedam and Jisung gasped, quickly ran to the small table in the room to serve the food. Hyuri took a glance at Sunghoon, slowly held his sleeve as a sign for him to go with her, just leaving Haesoo with Jay.

Sunghoon didn't move even though Hyuri told him to. He stood at the door with his eyes fixed on Haesoo and glance at Jay,

"What are you doing?"

Jay changed the topic, "How did you get into the room?"

Sunghoon didn't reply and asked Jay the same thing. Jay rolled his eyes with his finger pointed at the wound on his forehead. Haesoo didn't even let out any words, just nodding and shaking her head as a response to Sunghoon.

"Move." Jay walked toward the door, asking for Sunghoon to move away as the guy was blocking his way to leave. Sunghoon shut his eyes to hold his jealousy and move away from the door, so Jay could leave the bathroom without pulling another fight with everyone.

"Sunghoon, let's eat with them." Hyuri held Sunghoon's sleeve tighter, trying to drag him toward his friends but he didn't listen to her at all because he was just focusing on Haesoo.

Hyuri bit her lips and sighed,

"Sunghoon, let's go."

She didn't let go of Sunghoon, "Hey, why aren't you listen to me--"

Before she could continue her words, Sunghoon quickly approached Haesoo who almost fell on the slippery floor after jumping off from the bathroom cabinet. Glad that Sunghoon wad quick, he grabbed her by wrapping his wrist around her thighs and shoulder before she could fall on the floor.
Hyuri widened her eyes, screamed in surprise.

Yedam and Jisung quickly approached them after hearing the mess from the bathroom.

Jay didn't care about them at first, but after Haesoo was groaning in pain, he immediately put his food away and ran towards them, pulling Yedam and Jisung away.

"Hey, are you okay?" Hyuri approached Sunghoon when he looks so hurt after falling on the floor with Haesoo on his arm. Sunghoon didn't let go of Haesoo even though she asked him to. He groaned in pain, and carefully fixed his position by leaning his back against the bathroom wall.

Haesoo put her hand on his chest and fixed her eyes on him who was just an inch away from her.

Sunghoon shut his eyes, keep groaning in pain.

"Sunghoon," Haesoo mumbled nervously and put her hand on his cheeks, telling him to open his eyes. Sunghoon opened his eyes and smiled at her. "Are you okay, Haesoo?"

Haesoo sighed, "You should be worried about yourself, Sunghoon."

He finally let go of her from his arm,
"As long as you're good, I shouldn't be worried about myself." He chuckled.

Jay walked away from them and left the room without eating the food that his friends bought for him. Yedam saw him,

"Jay, where are you going to?"

"Vomit." He replied shortly and shut the door loudly causing Yedam and Jisung to be surprised at his sudden behavior.

Hyuri cleared her throat, quickly helped Haesoo by holding her wrist. "Are you okay?"

Haesoo smiled in response. "Thank you, Hyuri."

Sunghoon carefully stood up and groaned when his back was hurting.

"Let's have a treatment," Hyuri said worriedly but Sunghoon just laughed it off, pretending that he was good. "It's okay."

Hyuri hit him on the shoulder, "What do you mean by it's okay? You fell on the slippery floor! You should be worried about yourself too."

Haesoo and the others were speechless.

Sunghoon chuckled, "Hyuri, what's wrong? Don't be mad at me." He patted her head.

"You're such a fool." Hyuri rolled her eyes and left the room for no reason making everyone so confused to see her behavior.

  "Jay, have a good rest. I will pay for a visit when I'm free."

Jay lifted her head to see her and put his phone on the bed before talking to her. He took a glance at the clock, realizing that it was almost 8 at night. Yedam and Jisung were already leaving with Hyuri earlier and now, it was just Sunghoon and Haesoo with him. Sunghoon was waiting for Haesoo at the door because they wanted to go home together.

"Are you going home with him?"

Haesoo nodded. "What do you want tomorrow, Jay? I will bring anything you want."

Jay smiled, "Cigarettes."

Haesoo gasped and hit him on his shoulder,
"What a good boy!" She hit him again causing him to shout in pain. "You should stop smoking at a young age!"

"Did you forget the day you smoke with me, Haesoo?"

Haesoo shifted her gaze at Sunghoon,
"Jay, what the hell are you talking about?"

Jay chuckled, "We smoke by using the same cigarettes. Don't you remember?"

"Stop creating a scene."

"Do you remember the scene we did last--"

Haesoo hit him for the last time and quickly approached Sunghoon. She held his sleeve causing him to look at her with a smile on his face. He raised his eyebrows, waiting for her to speak.

"Sunghoon, I didn't smoke. Don't tell about this to the teacher--"

Sunghoon couldn't help but laugh at her nervous face. He nodded, "I know him well, Haesoo. Don't worry."

Haesoo sighed and looked at Jay for the last time. "I'm leaving first."

"I haven't responded to your question yet," Jay spoke as she was about to leave.

"Then tell me your answer. Don't say something nonsense." She waited for him to continue.

Jay shut his mouth, thinking of any answer to her question but after a minute, he was just shaking his head.

"I will tell you later."

"Is it that hard to tell me now?"

Sunghoon added, "You should just tell her. It must be so much easier to be done."

Jay shook his head. "It's important."

He continued, "I can be honest with her when you're not around."

Sunghoon just nodded, "Then, let's go."

Sunghoon patted Haesoo on the shoulder and they left the place after she was bidding goodbye to Jay.

"Text me later, Jay. Just tell me what you want me to bring tomorrow."

Jay didn't respond, continue playing with his phone.

"Thank you for sending me off, Sunghoon." Haesoo gave the helmet to Sunghoon and fixed her hair. Sunghoon smiled at her while patting her head.

"Why did you keep patting someone's head?"
Haesoo asked him curiously.

"It's so cute." He shortly replied making both of them laugh.

"That's my love language anyway."

Haesoo raised her eyebrows and tried to hide her embarrassment by pretending to laugh at his words.

"That means, you love everyone."

Sunghoon blankly looked at her. "What do you mean, Haesoo?"

"You did that to everyone. Don't you realize it?"

Sunghoon chuckled, "Really?"

He continued, "I thought I only did that to you."

Haesoo suddenly coughed after listening to his words. She had no idea how to respond to his words because she was so shy. She could feel that her cheeks were burning so bad when she caught him looking at her while smiling sweetly. So, she pretended to cough more while taking a step away from him as a way to run away from creating an awkward moment with him.

it drives her crazy.

Haesoo took a step to the door of her house and turned her body facing him.

"Goodbye, Sunghoon--"

She shut her mouth when Sunghoon kept massaging his back. He parted her lips as a way to hold himself from letting out any sound and was surprised when he got caught by her. He quickly fixed his position, pretending as nothing happens.

"Do you need help?"

"I'm okay."

"I don't think so."

"It's okay, Haesoo. You should go home." He caressed her cheeks and wore his helmet before starting the engine of his bike.

"Sunghoon, you should take a rest. It's okay. I will help you."

Sunghoon finally followed her words. He grabbed the key, took off his helmet, and went into the house with her.

Haesoo fixed the couch for him and helped him to lay his back against the couch before she was heading to the kitchen to serve a small meal for him.

"Sunghoon, do you like strawberry milk?"

Sunghoon smiled, "I like it."

Haesoo pour the strawberry milk into the huge glass and made a sandwich for him. Without wasting any time, she served the meal on the small table in front of the couch and waited for him to taste it. Sunghoon proudly smiled at her work. He took out his phone, snap a picture of the meal that she made and taste them.

"Why did you take a picture of the meal?"

Sunghoon chuckled, "I always keep the precious moments in my phone as memory."

Haesoo shut her mouth, trying hard not to smile at his words causing him to laugh at her cute behavior.

"It's delicious." He was impressed at her cooking skills and showed a thumbs up to her making her smile. He finished the meal in less than 5 minutes and chuckled at Haesoo because she seems so proud of herself.

"Haesoo, can you bring medicine for me?"

Haesoo immediately nodded and went to the kitchen to take some medicine for him. Without wasting any time, she approached him and hand him the medicine before going to the kitchen again.

Sunghoon carefully stood up and looked at himself through the huge mirror of Haesoo's house. He reached his hand to his back, trying to put the medicine by himself but he failed when his arm wasn't long enough to reach the pain part on his back. He took a glance at Haesoo who was at the kitchen, trying to make dinner for herself.

"Haesoo."

"Yes?" Haesoo replied from the kitchen.

"I think, I need your help."

Haesoo immediately rushed towards Sunghoon and stood in front of him with curiosity. She raised her eyebrows, waiting for Sunghoon to speak.

"I'm sorry, Haesoo."

"Why, Sunghoon?"

"I'm sorry if this sounds so uncomfortable. I just need your help to clean the bruise on my back."
Sunghoon said while massaging his neck as a habit of him when he was shy or nervous.

Haesoo cleared her throat and stood behind him. She sneaked her hand into his clothes with cotton on her hand. She parted her lips as she laid her hand on his bare skin, looking for the bruise.

"Did you find it?" Sunghoon asked her curiously. She shook her head, "It's hard because I can't see it without lifting your t-shirt."

Sunghoon hummed, "It's okay."

He looked at her through the mirror, "You can lift it."

"Can you lift it for me?" Haesoo asked him nervously as she was so nervous to lift it by herself.

She held her breath when Sunghoon followed her words. He lifted his t-shirt, exposing his bare skin slowly.

Haesoo remained cool, pretending like she was good even though she wasn't. She reached her hand to his back and cleared her throat before speaking up.

"I think you need to lift it higher." Haesoo gasped when Sunghoon took off his t-shirt and tossed it away.

"Don't look at me through the mirror. I will
not turn around. You just need to focus on my back." He said and she nodded in response.

Haesoo carefully cleaned the bruise on his back.

"You shouldn't move a lot after this. You fell on the floor so hard. That's why it hurts you."

Sunghoon hummed in response, pinching his shoulder. "I can't move my arm often because of my shoulder too."

"I'm sorry for ruining your day."

Sunghoon raised his eyebrows in confusion,
"Why do you need to be sorry, Haesoo?"

"You helped me when I was about to slip on the floor. You end up hurting yourself too."

"So, I'm so sorry."

"It's okay, Haesoo."

"If I didn't help you, we will not end up this way."

He continued, "I will not end up tasting your delicious sandwich. I will not be able to see you this close again, just both of us. No one else."

"I'm happy, Nam Haesoo. I didn't regret anything."

"I'm truly happy." He chuckled.

Haesoo couldn't help but laugh at his words.
"Sunghoon, you're always covering your pain."

"No, Haesoo. I'm being so honest with you."

"I'm so comfortable to be around you."

"Like I wish I could know you earlier."

"And spend most of my time with you."

"Haesoo, I think--"

Haesoo stopped cleaning the wound when she suddenly received a call from Jay. Without Sunghoon could stop her, she was already answered to Jay.

"Where are you, dummy? Have you arrived home?"

Haesoo hummed in response.

"I already have my answer to your question."

"What is it?"

Sunghoon raised his eyebrows, trying to eavesdrop on their conversation. As he was too focused on the call, he accidentally turned his body facing her without him realizing it.

Haesoo didn't realize it because she kept lowering her head.

"I want--"

As soon as Haesoo lifted her head to face Sunghoon, she suddenly screamed. Sunghoon gasped, finally realized what he was doing, and immediately wore his t-shirt.

"I'm sorry, Haesoo! I'm sorry! I should be aware."

Jay shut his mouth as soon as he heard Sunghoon on the phone.

"Sunghoon, you should tell me when you turn around. It surprises me."

"I didn't mean to scare you. I'm so sorry."

Haesoo nodded, "It's okay. I should tell you that I have done helping you. It's my fault."

"No. It's my fault for showing my body to you."

"I should be more consent about you," He said and smiled

"I will leave first. Thank you for tonight."

"Goodnight, Haesoo."

Haesoo nodded and waved at him before continuing talking on the phone with Jay.

"Jay, what did you just say? Can you say it again?" Haesoo spoke up and waited for Jay to respond.

Jay didn't give any response.

"Jay?"

"Jay, are you asleep--"

"What the fuck are you doing with Sunghoon at this time?"

"He asked me to clean his---"

"Clean what?"

"Why did he show his body to you?"

"Don't talk to me anymore."
