Weeks go by, I found myself growing more attracted to Sunghoon. The more days gone by that we were together, the more I felt confident that I was fully ready to get into a relationship with him. We both made it clear we wanted to be together, but wanted to be fully ready, and, by now; I think I am 100% ready.

He was understanding when I told him it would take me a little bit to be comfortable enough to date anyone, yet he still waited for me all of these weeks. Sunghoon really is the best, he's been so supportive of me and he's been making sure I'm comfortable with the things we've been doing and saying. He's such an amazing person and I can 100% see myself being with him, in a happy and healthy relationship.

I knew I could trust him from the start. He has nothing to hide from me. We've gotten so comfortable and close with each other that we shared our whole life stories. Romantic interests then and now, our pet peeves, personal trust issues, and so on. He confessed to me that his first ever girl friend cheated on him, so he was quite heart broken from it, but he told me that I helped him get over it and helped him to fully trust again. He's truly a trustworthy person and I am confident he wouldn't hurt me.

As for Sunwoo, well; I haven't been paying much attention to him. We're practically strangers at this point, we have only interacted for the sole purpose of our project together and if the whole group hung out. Other than that, what I've heard and seen was that he's been doing okay. We gradually decided to forget about our bad past together so that things weren't awkward between us.. though, we still decide not to be friends as our past just blocked us from doing so. It doesn't make sense, but that's how things have been going on between us and we have both accepted it.

He ended up breaking things off with Soyeon. The more days that they were together, I could tell he was getting really sick of her and her personality, which was what I expected. Sunwoo truly deserves happiness, and I hope he finds it eventually. Soyeon was never going to give it to him. She's just a snobby, fake, and spiteful individual. The total opposite of Sunwoo. Sunwoo has done hurtful things to me and others, but he's still a good person. I can say without a doubt that he learned from his mistakes.

Things felt like they weren't ever going to get better, but with the support and help from Sunghoon and the other guys, I was finally truly happy again. I couldn't be more grateful for them.

It was a Friday evening. Sunghoon, the guys and I were all sitting at the park after school eating some snacks and ice cream.

"Jihyun, we're having a sleep over at Jake's house, do you want to come over tonight?" Heeseung asks me, munching on a potato chip.

"Hmm... I don't know." I furrow my eyebrows, thinking of whether or not I should.

"You should, noona! It'll be so fun. You'll make everything even better." Sunoo smiles at me brightly.

"Thanks, Sunoo." I chuckle.

Sunoo's personality is so bubbly and bright that it could cheer anyone up in seconds.

"You should definitely come, noona. You won't regret it." Jungwon nods his head at me, trying to convince me.

"I GUESS you can come." Jake rolls his eyes sarcastically, teasing me.

"Shut up, Jake. You always try your best to hide the fact that you actually fancy me being around. Don't lie to yourself." I stick my tongue out at him.

"Ew! That's disgusting. I would rather cry myself to sleep than to have you around, Jihyun!" He jokes.

"You wish." I retort.
