❝My heart is endlessly confused.❞

CHANGMIN

I was sitting on my bed with my eyes closed when I heard some sounds downstairs by the kitchen. I did not pay any attention to it because I know that it's just Younghoon.

It did not last long until I heard the bedroom door opened.

"Uh, what are you doing?"

"Meditating," I briefly responded with my eyes still closed.

"More like, planning on who to take down next."

I slightly chuckled at Younghoon's remark before I opened my eyes.

"Why are you treating me like I'm sort of a criminal?" I asked as I spared a glance on him.

I saw how he turned his head and looked at me with a quite surprised look.

"Aren't you?"

"Fuck you," I breathed out. "I'm just quite tired."

Younghoon groaned before walking up to his closet and grabbed some clothes. He then threw it on his bed.

"You definitely killed someone last night, did you?"

I heaved a long sigh. "Seriously, I didn't," I told him. "I was only helping a friend earlier. I just freaking buried a dead body, okay? That's the only thing that I did."

I saw how he shrugged his shoulders before dragging himself inside the bathroom.

"Mind telling me something about what you and Juyeon talked about earlier?" I asked Younghoon, loud enough for him to hear.

"Aside from what I told you earlier, he wants you to hang out with us some time."

"If he would bring Sunhee with him, I can't see why not."

I heard him let out a groan from the bathroom.

"Why can't you just leave that girl alone?" he asked, almost shouting.

I laid down on my bed with the back of my head rested onto my palms.

"Because I like her," I quietly whispered while staring at the ceiling above me. "Why can't she be mine at this instant?"

"Why can't you answer my question?" Younghoon asked before I heard the shower running. "You are plotting again, aren't you?"

I huffed before rolling my eyes out of annoyance. "My silence does not mean anything."

"It does," he insisted. "I know you well enough."

"Then why ask me?" I spat, making him silent for a minute.

The water from the shower suddenly stopped, filling the whole room with silence. Younghoon then got out with only a towel wrapped around his waist.

"I'm warning you, Changmin. Don't do anything stupid."

"You ain't my mother."

I heard him let out a sigh before messing up his damp hair.

"Just don't anything that would literally bring you trouble."

JUYEON

I quietly made my way inside the apartment that I share alongside with Kevin and Chanhee.

Kevin is always home since he is an online English tutor. As for Chanhee, he only comes home late at night and the first one to get up in the morning for his different part-time jobs. And here I am, slowly becoming successful as a model and as a dance instructor.

"Hey!" Kevin greeted as he poked his head out from the kitchen. "Have you eaten?"

I quickly shook my head and rubbed my clothed stomach. It made Kevin to let out a small chuckle.

"I just got done cooking our dinner. Let me prepare it real quick while you take a rest for a few minutes."

I gave Kevin a small smile before his head disappeared from the kitchen wall.

"Thanks, Kev. You are one of the best," I told him as I dropped myself on the couch.

I felt my eyelids getting heavy, so I closed my eyes for a bit.

"Has Chanhee called you?" I heard Kevin asked before I felt him passed by.

"Nope," I briefly responded. "I think he won't be home tonight because I suddenly remember that it is Thursday today."

"Ah, you're right. He has an overtime."

After a moment, Kevin was already done on preparing our dinner. I got up from the couch and walked towards the dining table before I sat down on the chair across Kevin.

"Oh my, I almost forgot that I have to ask you something."

I looked at Kevin when he suddenly spoke. He wasn't looking at me because he was busy on bringing the food on his plate.

"What is it?" I asked before taking a spoonful of my food inside my mouth.

"About you," he responded while pointing his spoon towards my chest. "What do you plan about how you feel?"

"Uhm, is this about Sunhee?" I asked, trying to make sure that we are both thinking the same thing.

Kevin only nodded his head before digging on his own food.

"I don't know either," I mumbled quietly, making him to look up at me with his mouth full.

He again pointed his spoon towards my chest. "You freaking confessed to her already and immediately left after because you were too afraid on what would she say."

He drank his glass of water into half before glaring at me.

"You should've waited for her response. It's just either she likes you too or not."

I looked down on my food, avoiding Kevin's deadly glare.

"You better ask her out soon, Juyeon. Someone might have her first if you won't make a move."

With my eyebrows furrowed, I looked up again. "What do you mean?"

"When you walked in last day inside my room, you know what we are doing, right?"

It took me short enough to remember everything at that exact moment. I hate to admit it, but I got pissed a bit.

"She wants to know that Changmin dude more," Kevin stated. "And the incident yesterday on the grocery, when you found her talking with that dude, along with Younghoon."

I just sat there, finishing my plate without uttering a single word.

"Juyeon, just do as I say, okay?" said Kevin. "You'll do great on asking permission from Sunwoo first, then you're good to go."

"I guess I'll ask her out by tomorrow then."
