Since getting the tattoos done took a long time, Jisung and Alix arrived before Axel and Duyi did and the girls greeted them alone, explaining why the boys were not at home. Eunae even showed them the whole house -except for Axel's room since it was locked- before they came.

"Have you had dinner?" Heejin asked them as they waited for the boys in the living room.

"Not yet, no," Alix answered.

"We were waiting for the boys and my parents, so you are more than welcome to join us," Eunae told them. "Heejin made lasagne."

"Oh, that's right? Where are your parents?" 

"They are with my aunt. Since Axel's birthday was yesterday, they decided to leave us the house so we could celebrate it together," she explained.

"Shit, I forgot!" she exclaimed. "I can't believe I didn't remember Axel and Mika share the birthday even when they surely have posted a birthday picture online. I feel so bad now!"

"It is all right. You cannot always remember every single birthday. It is impossible," Juiyu assured her. "I am sure he will not mind."

As they spoke, Jisung looked at Heejin and smiled, which confused her until she realised that she was not only texting Axel as they spoke, but she was also wearing one of Axel's hoodies and he recognised it, so she covered herself with her arms and he shook his head as he fought back a laugh.

"How come was Axel's room locked, by the way?" Jisung asked the girls.

"He always locks it and no one else has the key. He does not like anyone going inside his room," Eunae explained. "You can ask him to show it to you once he is back."

When she said that the oven dinged, so she stood up and went to the kitchen with Juiyu, leaving Heejin alone with her seniors.

"Does she really not know still?" Alix asked her, referring to Eunae.

"Not that we know of, no," Heejin answered, looking up from her phone. "Axel said you can go inside his room, by the way. He does not mind."

"We still have to wait for him to open the room," Jisung pointed out.

"Come with me."

Confused, they both stood up and followed Heejin upstairs, going to Axel's room. She then took off the necklace she was wearing under her hoodie and pulled out the key, opening the door to Axel's room while her seniors looked at her shocked.

"Ta-da!" she said as they walked inside. "This is his room. It is really cool, is it not? I was really surprised when I first saw it."

"I don't know if I'm most surprised by how this looks or by you having the key," Alix admitted.

"Eunae and Duyi do not know about it, so, please, do not mention it around them. Just say he told me where he hid the spare key."

Knowing what it was like to hide a relationship, they immediately agreed to it and simply looked around the room, checking out the things he had. Of course, the thing that caught their eye the most was the wall full of pictures he had.

There were pictures from his childhood up until the trip, so it was the story of his life put up on his wall. As they looked through all of them, Heejin suddenly noticed something she had not seen before: there were new pictures on the wall, and she was in some of them.

"Wait, what is this?" she said picking up a picture of her at the beach from the wall. "When did he even take it?"

 "When did he even take it?"
