Malcolm's POV
"So wait a minute, you two decided to go out?" Hyunjin asks with a face of confusion as we all sat in our usual place.
"Yeah, it's official today!" Chaeyeon giggled as she locked her arms around Han's.
"Did something happen during that 13 hours and 25 minutes you were locked in the storage room? Spill it!" Changbin teased.
"Obviously. A young man and a pretty woman were locked in there alone. You can picture it, huh?" Han smiled.
"Wait, you two? It could've easily turned into a fight" Jeongin says.
"Yeah, you two are always at each other's throats. Now, you're actually dating?" I crossed my arms.
"You see? I told you over and over that you two would make a good couple but you kept giving me crap everytime" Chaewon grumbled.
"I did not. I just told you that sometimes it's awkward for friends to date. Right?" She smiled cutely at Han.
"Of course, my baby is just shy, that's why, right?" He cutely asked her which made Hyunjin, Chaewon, and I look at them with disgust.
"What's wrong with that? I think they're very cute. Not as cute as we are, though, isn't that right, Mallow-ah?" Minju cutely said and I shyly smiled at her before nodding then locking my arm with hers.
This made the others look at us like they were about to vomit and some pretended like they were going to vomit.
"Minju-yah, you realize you're getting more and more annoying?" Chaewon said.
"I personally think Minju was much less annoying when she didn't talk at all" Hyunjin added.
"I agree. She talks way too much now. She's so loud in the room too. I swear it makes my ears bleed" Chaeyeon exaggerated which made Han looked at her worriedly.
"Really? Where?" Han asked as he looked at her ears.
"Over here. It's bleeding" Chaeyeon whined which made the single people groan.
"I bet 100,000 won that they break up in a month" Hyunjin said.
"A month? Oh, I give them a week max" Changbin laughed.
"What? You really think that long, hyung? I think maybe a day" Jeongin added which made us wheeze.
Chaewon suddenly tapped the table to get our attention and we all looked at her.
"Okay. We have to leave early in the morning, so all of you be ready" She said as she all looked at us.
"Are we really going for real? I seriously don't want to. Leave me out of this" Hyunjin whined.
"Why? Your mom invited us over to your house in Jirisan" I retorted.
"Exactly. This is the best season. We can make kimchi in the Korean countryside" Jeongin smiled.
"That's not for tomorrow, is it? I forgot and made plans for tomorrow" Changbin sighed as he looked at his phone.
"What? Are you meeting a girl again? I'll go to your place and you can go to my house for me" Hyunjin suggested in desperation.
"Nope" Changbin waved his finger.
"Shall we go pack? Let's go, baby" Minju said cutely as she stood up from her seat and I looked up at her.
"Baby's coming" I smiled at her and took her hand before leaving the group while they grunted in annoyance.
-Time Skip-
We were now on our way to the province and I was driving since I finally got my license. We all cheered as we left Seoul.
"Who would've guessed it? Han and Chaeyeon, and Minju and Malcolm are all coupled up" Hyunjin said from the back.
"Yeah"
"Han and Chaeyeon is different since they won't last anyway" Changbin teased.
"You wanna die?" Both Chaeyeon and Han asked Changbin as they looked at him.
"But what I don't really get is what does Minju see in someone like Malcolm?" Changbin added and everyone agreed.
"Me too"
"I know, right?"
"I know" Hyunjin said which turned everyone's attention towards him.
"You know what I asked her when they first started going out? Minju likes Malcolm..." He paused and everyone was eager to know, including me.
"Because she thinks he's handsome" He chuckled which made everyone groan but I just looked at her as we smiled at each other.
"Ah, seriously"
"There so many good-looking guys in Korea" Han remarked.
"You need to get your eyes examined" Jeongin added.
"What she needs is to see a psychiatrist" Changbin said.
"Yah! Everyone shut up!" I told the group as I looked at all of them through the rear view mirror.
"Minju's right, I am handsome" I smirked before looking at Minju as she giggled which made everyone groan.
"For real, though, I wanna know. Minju, what made you end up liking Malcolm?" Chaeyeon asked as everyone's eyes are on her now, including mine as I smiled at her.
"Umm...He's the first person in my life who's on my side, other than my mom" She started.
"The day I passed out from exhaustion, it was the first time someone else saw something that was embarrassing" She said.
"After having him see that, I felt very comfortable being around him" She finished and I looked at the road with a smile on my face as I felt my face heat up while she leaned towards me and hugged my side.
"Oh, is that how it happened?" I teased.
"Yeah, that's exactly how it happened and I really liked it" She replied cutely.
"Just stop already! Give it a rest, will you?" Hyunjin complained.
"I'm going to barf from listening to a whole hour of ya'll baby talk" Jeongin added.
"I was right, wasn't I? I told you my ears bleed when she starts talking" Chaeyeon scoffed.
"Oh, so there was the day you took off during the blind date and then you slept together" Han teased.
"We did not! Are you crazy?" I gasped.
"Anyway, what happened was-" I smiled.
"Enough!"
"We've heard enough!"
My smile turned into a glare as I glared at them through the rear view mirror.
