JEONGWOO POV

As I sighed and complained, "Hyung, do I have to go with you?"

Yedam and Jaehyuk turned around furiously, "You lost the bet! You have to buy us something!"

Haruto chuckled softly, "Thank God I didn't use rock this time~"

My lips curled up and I spat at him, "You played dirty!"

I heard Jihoon say, "I'll pay this time because you guys keep bickering. Don't tease Jeongwoo too much. Next time, play fair and square, okay?"

In disbelief, Jaehyuk exclaimed, "Heol, you're acting too cool today, Jihoon hyung~"

Yedam shook his head, "Right? So uncool~"

The five of us giggled happily and went to a cafe nearby. Haruto suddenly stopped at the front, which caused us to fall silent, and we stared at him confusedly. Jaehyuk wrinkles his eyebrows, "What's wrong, Haruto?"

Haruto blushed and pulled himself behind Jihoon, causing me to snicker at him.

"Did your ears just turned red? Why are you so shy?"

As for Haruto, he shook his head, "Nothing. You guys can go ahead, I'll follow from behind."

We looked at each other and shrugged our shoulders off before going inside the cafe. Little did we know, we were causing a bit of chaos because there were fangirls and fanboys inside the cafe.

It was as if a wave of excitement was washing over my entire body, and I looked at Haruto. He seemed to be looking somewhere else, making me follow his gaze. 

In the end, it was a girl. 

Curiosity filled her eyes as she gazed at us.

However, she showed little interest in us.

"Yah, are you into her?"

He blushed harshly and his finger was placed in his mouth, "Don't say it loudly!"

The cuteness of his face made me giddy softly. Our attention was instantly drawn to the corner table after a loud ruckus. 

Yikes, it's that girl again.

Before we could turn away, a girl walked towards them to rescue her coworker.

As she slammed the money on the table, she asked, "Are you done?"

"What are you doing?"

"You got money for free. Don't you want it? I thought you'd prefer money over a drink."

"Who are you to interfere with our business?"

"I am the manager of this cafe and I have the right to protect my workers. I ask you kindly to leave now since you are disturbing my customers."

"Isn't this waiter at fault for not achieving my needs?"

"I apologize for that, but you should understand that we cannot always please you. These kinds of situations are beyond our control since they tend to sell out quickly."

"What's your point?"

"My advice to you is to order your favorite drink early."

"Yah!"

"I ask that you leave, please."

"You, I'm going to tell my father about you!"

"I don't fear you, since the upper-management is fond of me more than your father."

Haruto couldn't help but hide his smile as we whistled softly at her bold and confident side, making us all smirk at her. 

Then I side-elbowed him, "Stop being so obvious."

The girls became angry when everyone praised her for standing up for what was right and left the café. Haruto didn't want to leave yet, so we decided to stay for a bit. 

I purposely bumped into the girl Haruto had his eyes on when we were going to the table where the girls had sat earlier. In an attempt to apologize, she looked up at me.

"I-I'm sorry-"

Her eyes are beautiful.

My only response was to smile and bow, without saying anything. 

Once again, we gathered around the table, bonded as brothers. Little did I expect, she kept staring directly at me. 

"Was that your intention?"

Then I shook my head and said, "No." 

I saw a thin smile on Haruto's face and he said, "Don't do anything that would complicate things.".

I nodded in agreement and grabbed my spoon without giving it a second thought.

"It looks like you are falling in love deeply, aren't you?" 

I laughed softly.

Haruto could not hide his shy smile and ignored me as he returned to the discussion with the others. The feeling that I was being watched made me shake my head and look in the right direction. 

There she is again. 

We glanced at each other briefly until she got called. When she left to go back to her duty, I bit my lip against the temptation to smile at her cuteness.

So her name is Y/N? 

Once we had finished hanging out at the cafe, we got ready to leave, and I was the last one to leave, not realizing that we had left something behind. The phone had been left behind by Haruto. I was then pulled behind, causing me to become flustered and turn around.

Once again, it's her.

I felt very flustered and awkward with a girl alone. The members had departed ahead of me. Y/N was also flustered when she stopped me abruptly, but I didn't let it bother me.

"Is something wrong?"

As she handed me something, she said, "You forgot your phone."

As I stared at its phone, I raised my eyebrows in confusion. 

This is not mine. It is Haruto.  

Then I smirked evilly and decided to make Haruto a surprise, "This phone belongs to someone else. Could you please give it to him on my behalf?"

"W-What? I don't mind, but is there any reason you can't give it to him?"

"He will find it more meaningful."

Her disappointment went unnoticed by me. 

"I'll give it a go then. Where is he-"

Y/N and I were startled when a hand suddenly appeared and grabbed the phone. As we looked sideways, we saw Haruto. 

He's sweating a lot. Did he really have to run back here?  

"T-This is mine, thank you for returning it." 

A strange feeling came over me when she smiled at someone beside me, "Don't forget next time~" 

I then noticed that Haruto was much happier than he usually is.

Why do I feel so edgy?
