"I wanna go back home" Jia murmured as she flopped herself on the soft bed

"9 months, how much have I been going trough therapies?" The girl took her phone and checked her calendar

"Just 5! What the duck! I miss my idol's life" Jia pouted and sighed

"I need to eat something, but they didn't said where" she smiled at her own thought and grabbed her hoodie and her phone

*ding dong!*

The younger pulled her hood up and shoved her hands inside her pocket

"Wait Sunoo-hyung I'm going!" The footsteps got louder and louder until the door opened

"Hello Ni-ki-kun" Jia hugged Ni-ki who was already smiling after just a second she was there

She was really bright in his life

"Hi angel~" he buried his face in the crook of her neck

"I missed you~ did you missed me too?" Jia nodded as her adorable smile never left her coral lips "of course I did, that's why I'm here!"

"Guys! We're third-wheeling again!" Sunghoon shouted after passing by the door

"Don't worry Sunghoon-hyung! We're going out!" Ni-ki closed the door behind himself and intertwined her hand with his before shoving their hands in his pocket

"Where are we going though?" Jia asked looking at him with her hood on her head making her look cute because of how confused she was

"Somewhere" he answered and pulled his hood up just like her

"Before going in," the boy pulled up her mask before doing the same

Pushing the door of the restaurant, Ni-ki dragged her inside as she covered her mouth even if the mask made it hard to show

"You bought me to my favorite restaurant!" Jia jumped in happiness

"Not only your favorite, it's also the restaurant where we always ate dinner when we were trainees"

"Why did you bringed me here...." slapping her forehead for forgetting the important day,  Jia covered her face in embarassement

"Hey hey it's ok love, you're stressed and it's normal"

The two finally sat down and ordered their dinner

"Taiyaki!" Jia exclaimed as soon as she saw her favorite food

"Happy nine months together love~" Ni-ki couldn't help but smile after the hug she gave him while cutely munching on the food

They were really couple goals

"Happy nine months together Ni-ki-kun~"

I can't believe just ten months ago we couldn't even think of becoming what we are now

"Aren't you gonna eat too?" Riki snapped back to reality and started eating

*ding! ding! ding!*

Jia opened one of her eyes to check her phone who was flooding with notifications

"What the...." the girl rubbed her eyes and layed back on her bed with Ni-ki still peacefully sleeping in it

He decided to stay there for the night

*ding dong!*

Too much after just a minute she woke up

"What the hell is happening..." Jia opened the door still in her pajamas just to find three her teammates

"Jiyeon-unnie what are you doing here—" Jiyeon immediately closed the door behind herself and shushed her

"You were caught by dispatch!" Byeol handed her the phone with the article

"They saw you going out for dinner and then coming here"

"Wait so Ni-ki is here!!?" Heejin covered her mouth after finding out the boy might have heard the conversation

"Yeah, he's still sleeping" a sigh of relief left the elders' lips

"This time, talk to him about this ok? It's just a matter of hours before our company asks you both to clear things"

Jia was confused, both because she just woke up and because of all the mess she witnessed just some minutes after getting out of her comfy bed

What should she do now? Reveal it to the public? They'll be ask to break up. Keep it a secret? Both are tired of it

They know it's impossible to have the chance to reveal their relationships to the world

"Ni-ki-kun..." she shook him a little to wake him up. Ni-ki just groaned and pulled her back inside the warm blankets "five more minutes love"

"We need to talk, it's important" Riki hummed in response

"We got caught by dispatch last night" the japanese boy stopped playing with her fingers

"Dispatch?" Jia nodded as she snuggled in her lover's arms. In situations like this all she needed was her boyfriend's warmth

"Now, before anything else happens between us, let's decide what to tell our company" the boy nodded, agreeing with what she told him

"What do you want to say?"

"I...." Ni-ki licked his chapped lips "I want to reveal our relationship"

A sigh escaped her lips "I want that too but... we can't because it will just lead us to a break up"

"we have a dating ban, fans and a reputation. We'll only get hated if we do that"

She was right, they'll only get hate and will bring bad reputation to their groups

"So we're denying it?" Riki nodded and hugged her tigher "we're denying it"
