Wonho's POV:
Walking back to the dorm, there is only one thought in my mind.
Soonyoung's words repeat themselves constantly, almost like a catchy song that won't get out of your head.

I reach for the key in my pocket and open the door of our small dorm.

Without Hyejin it feels empty.

I quickly head to my room and throw myself on the bed, letting out a sigh.

I feel someone sitting down on the bed right next to me. I turn my face around and instantly freeze.
"Hye- Hyejin?"

"Hyung" she softly smiles

I instantly sit up and reach for her cheek
"Are you- are you really here?"

Her smiles gets a little wider hearing me stutter like that.

"Do I look like a ghost to you?"

My eyes start burning, a thick lump in my throat. I try to swallow but it won't go away.

My eyes still wide opened I try to convince myself that she really is here.
"Are you real? I'm not imagining things, right?"

"I'm pretty sure I'm here and quite real."

"I'm so sorry." The tears start flowing and I let my head sink, not daring to look her in the days.

"It was all my fault. I'm so sorry."

Hyejin's POV:

"Hey, look at me." I gently grab his chin and raise Wonho's head

"It wasn't your fault. It was my own impulsive behavior."

His miserable expression breaks my heart.
"If I hadn't said those things nothing would have happened. I'm sorry."

"Hyung, everything's alright. Please stop apologizing."

"You're right" he tries to wipe his tears away "My emotions aren't important right now. Are you alright? I was so worried."

The sudden change kind of his words overrun me a little, that was definitely not what I was trying to say.

"Are you hurt? What happened? Did he do any-"

"HYUNG" I cut him off "Can't you just give me a hug first?"

Almost like he was waiting for me to say that, Wonho wraps his arm around me and I finally let myself sink.

His warmth comforts me like nothing else in this world can. No, even his presence is enough to cheer me up. To make the worst day, the best one.

I'm not dumb I know very well that I'm falling for him, no point in denying.

He pulls me a little closer and hugs me even harder than before, making my heart jump up and down like a little bird.

"Are you guys done?" Hyungwon leans against the door frame and looks at us, crossing his arms.

Wonho and I quickly back away from each other, as if we had done something unusual. However hugging is one of my favorite things to do and therefore not very uncommon, I internally face palm myself.
