"Your love takes me to paradise."
When Hongjoong falls for a girl he never expected himself to fall for. He never thought love could get any better than it already was until he met her.
"Your love makes me feel like I'm in a Utopia."
Zera didn't kn...

Hongjoong POV
I noticed that it was getting late. I wanted to help Zera with wash day before it was too late and she got tired. "Bunny do you still want to wash your hair today?" I asked her. She nodded her head which was laying in my lap. "You want to do it now?" I asked her softly.
"Sure, let's go." She said standing up holding my hand and pulling me to the bathroom. "Where are you going?" Yeosang asked, making the others turn their attention to us as well. "I'm going to help her wash her hair." I said looking at them. "Aww but I thought it was my turn." Woo said with a pout.
"It's your turn next time. Okay Woo?" Zera said walking over to him and kissing his forehead making him smile. Once she saw he was happy again we continued our way to the bathroom. When we got into the bathroom I sat on the toilet while she sat on the side of the tub. She took her hair out of the bun it was in and then did a little head shake.
She looked amazing. "You should wear your hair out more often." I told her.
(A/N: This is what I'm imagining her looking like but you don't have to imagine it the same way.)

"I can barely see with all this hair in my face so that's a no." She said, rolling her eyes and making me chuckle. "But you could style it." I told her. "I can but it's just too much work sometimes and I'm a lazy soul." She looking at me. "Can you get my container of hair stuff?" She asked me while she went to go get a towel. I opened the cabinet under the sink and pulled out a clear container of hair products.
She walked back in and sat on the floor in front of the toilet which I was sitting on. "Do you want to comb your hair out now or before you put your conditioner in?" I asked her as she put the towel in her lap.
"I'll comb it out before putting in conditioner cause it's easier to do while my hair is wet." She said. "Okay." I said squeezing some shampoo into my hands. Before I put it through her I noticed she didn't wet her hair like usual. "Ze you forgot to wet your hair first." I told her.
"Sorry" She said cutely making me bust all my uwus. She went over to the tub before cutting the water on and wetting her hair a little bit. Once she was done she took her original seat in between my legs while I placed the towel around her shoulders.
I then started to massage the shampoo through her hair. I knew how much she loved her scalp being massaged while it was getting washed so I made sure to do it thoroughly. She couldn't always do it herself so she would ask one of us to help her.
When we first became friends Seonghwa and Yunho had offered to help her with wash day which Ze gratefully accepted. Afterwards, Yunho bragged about how much fun it was helping her because it was such a "bonding experience" which the rest of us didn't believe. We thought it was boring and that he and Seonghwa were just playing with us.
We didn't believe it was an actual bonding experience until they would say stuff only they understood in front of the rest us. The rest of us wanted to have inside jokes with Ze as well so the rest of us started helping her as well. We would take turns helping her since we would secretly fight about who would help her. But we would never tell her that since she would kill us if she knew.
"Alright let's wash this out now." I said once I was done massaging her scalp and making sure the shampoo was evenly distributed throughout her hair. We walked over to the tub and she bent over the side into it while I sat on the side. I unattached the shower hose and turned on the water. I checked the temperature before putting it on her. After making sure it wasn't too hot I started to wash the shampoo out of her hair.
When the shampoo was all washed out I cut the water off and placed the hose back. I then squeezed the ends of her hair to get any extra water out. I grabbed the towel from her and wrapped it around her hair. I didn't want to fully dry it so that it could still be somewhat wet for when she combed her hair out.
I took the towel off of her hair and then handed her a comb. "Thank you." She quietly said before she started combing. "So how was your day today?" Ze asked while she was looking in the mirror and combing out her hair. "It was good. I was glad I didn't have any classes today cause I had time to spend with the guys and it's been a while since we have hung out like old times." I said with a small smile.
"Why don't you do it more often? I wouldn't be offended if you all spent time together without me." She said looking at me through the mirror as I sat on the side of the tub. "Are you sure? We don't want you to feel left out. We know that you don't have a lot of other friends." I said. "Don't worry I won't. I know that you all need your guy time that doesn't involve me. Plus I sometimes need alone time as well so it's fine." She said.
"Okay so I'll tell them what you said." I said. "And don't stress we're all friends so it's not like we all have to always hangout at the same time, we can hang out individually. I do it so it's not like y'all can't either." She said and I nodded in understanding. "How was your day? Other than the encounter with the asshole." I asked her.
"Well I went to the school's district head office this morning and told her what happened with Areum and her father. I showed her the pictures I had and told her about all the things they have been doing. After that I just went to class which was uneventful. Other than that I didn't do anything." She said.
"What did she say?" I asked. "Mrs. Kang said that she had no idea what was going on and that she will look into it." She said. "Can you pass me the conditioner?"
"Sure." I said getting the conditioner out of the clear container before handing it to her. She put the comb down before grabbing the conditioner from me. "I'm surprised she didn't know, like where did she think the money was going?" She said while putting conditioner in her hair. "True, she should've noticed that large sum of money missing."
"Alright let's go watch True Beauty while we wait." I said once I saw she was finished. She washed her hands and put the conditioner back before following me to the front room.
"Where did they go?" Ze asked once we saw the empty living room. I pulled out my phone text the group chat without Ze. I asked them where they were, Yunho responded saying they went to get food and they would be back soon. "They went to get food but they'll be back soon." I told her.
"Okay, hurry up and come sit down I wanna watch my husband." She said which made me do a double take. "HUSBAND!?!" I asked her. "Han Seojun duh." She said grabbing the remote and turning on True Beauty.
"He's not even all that." I said rolling my eyes. "I don't know what the fuck you're talking about. Have you seen him?! I would have picked him if I was in her position." She said leaning back against the couch. "But-" I tried to say but was cut off by Ze.
"Shh! It's starting." She said. I just crossed my arms and decided to be jealous in silence. "Don't worry you'll always be my #1 handsome guy." She looking at me with a little smile. It felt like my heart jumped out of my chest. I couldn't really focus on the show because of what she said.
I only had one thing on my mind right and that was if she could really like me back.
