A/N POV~

Chris and Emma were in their own world as they stood beside each other holding hands and their shy smiles lightening up their faces. Their heartbeats were loud enough to be heard by both. They both were very much aware that Chris was happy being with Emma just like how Emma was happy being with Chris. 

"I can already see Lee Know breaking my neck. I know how much he protects you." Chris said chuckling. Emma let out a chuckle too.

"But sometimes he gets too protective. Like, I'm not a baby." She whined. Chris smiled at her as his eyes disappeared when he did. She flinched a little when his thumb began caressing her hand. 

With her cheeks all pink, she simply looked around and saw Halmeoni giving her a teasing smile making her cheeks blush harder. Halmeoni pointed at their intertwined hands and gave a thumbs up following a wink. 

Chris noticed it and he looked at Emma to see her reaction and he couldn't be happier. He stared at her as she looked at her feet with red cheeks and her lips pursed to hold in her smile. He crouched a little to her level and looked at her face. She saw how he was standing now and she pushed him by his shoulder making him laugh at her shyness. 

He removed his hand from hers and put his arm around her shoulder pulling her closer. He laughed seeing how much effect he has on her. He was rather proud. She laughed along with him. And they kept flirting with each other. 

Their friends being their nosy self would obviously use this opportunity to tease the new 'couple'. Jeongin was the first to notice them.

He was taken aback but then he smiled as he was happy for his hyung and noona. He looked around to see the others busy talking with each other or doing other stuff.

He immediately rushed to where Hyunjin and Changbin were standing and poked their shoulders to gain their attention. Both turned around to him as he pointed towards Chris and Emma. They followed their gaze to the direction where the younger was pointing at and Hyunjin scrunched his face cringing at the two people who were practically flirting with each other. Changbin found it cute as he knows how it felt like to be in love. Even if Hyunjin found it cringing he low-key found it cute making him smile but then he shook his head looking away.

Changbin stood there staring at the couple as they reminded him of Ryunjin and him. He chuckled as he immediately took out his phone and clicked a photo of them before moving to a corner to give his girlfriend a call.

While that, Hyunjin and Jeongin went to tell the others. The others gave the same reaction as Hyunjin but were happy for their hyung.

They have never seen Chris in that state. He was always this dad-like friend who took care of them. But now he was looking at Emma with heart eyes. He was happy. And that of course was a good thing.

They all knew that this was bound to happen someday but didn't know that it was today. They were so tempted to go tease them but they knew how happy Chris would be. So they let the couple be. For now.

"Guys just because we held hands it doesn't mean we're dating!" Emma screamed at the boys who were now teasing her and Chris. They were on their way back home. 

They were seated just like how they were when they were going to the senior center. But this time Chris was stuck with Felix who was teasing him pretending to be Emma. Or like a girl. 

"Oh, Chris oppa you are so cute. I love you~" He said twirling a few strands of his hair on his finger and puckering his lips making Chris look at him in pure disgust. Jeongin laughed as he clapped his hands at how funny his hyungs' are.
