our secret

Chaeyeon's POV

I roll over my bed and catch a glimpse of her.

My girlfriend.

The love of my life.

"It's rude to stare." She mumbles with her deep morning voice and I could've sworn I just swooned for a moment there.

"Oh hi," I awkwardly greet her, "Good morning."

"Cuddle me." She whines, holding her arms out for me to jump into.

I lightly chuckle right before getting off my own bed to go to hers and lay beside her.

I don't mind doing this every single morning.

She kisses my chin as I engulf her in a hug, making me heave a sigh of satisfaction. Then, I close my eyes for the second time this morning, allowing myself to be pulled back to my dreams.

A voice interrupts the calmness of the room and so I lower my head to meet her gorgeous sleepy eyes. "Hmm?"

"Do you think we should tell them about... us?"

"Yes," I answer without any hesitation. "Though I think they already know even if we don't say a single word."

She laughs with me and nods, "You're right. But can we tell them after our concert?"

"Whenever you please, my love."

"Oh my gosh." She blurts, her body suddenly tenses up against mine.

"Why? What's the matter?"

Sakura smiles, "It sounds nice hearing that – what you just said back there."

Cute, she even blushed.

She snuggles into the crook of my neck and I chuckle at how adorable she is right now.

She looks back up at me and her eyes were literally glowing, like a happy child on Christmas day. Also, I can clearly see that her pupils were dilating.

"I love you." She says, and before I could even say those words back, she crashes her lips on mine.

3rd Person's POV

"Saku-chan, you stay here." Their leader instructs as she adjusts their blockings for their performance.

Chaeyeon stays on the side of the stage with Wonyoung, Hitomi, Nako, and Yena.

"I wonder who's been making these googly eyes at Kkura-unnie since we got here."

Chaeyeon chokes on her water, earning teasing giggles from the rest.

"Ah Wonyo, I wouldn't blame Chaeyeonie. To be fair, Kkura-chan's been glowing differently lately for some reason." Yena points out, admiring the Japanese from her spot.

Chaeyeon flashes a secretive smirk.

Of course, that's my girl.

"You 5!" Eunbi's voice booms as she calls the other members' attention. "To the center please."

They did what they were instructed to do, and as Chaeyeon walks past Sakura, their fingers brush against each other ever so slightly. The older sneakily (and subtly) flicks Chaeyeon's thumb, getting the latter's attention for a second there. Nonetheless, Chaeyeon proceeds to where she was told to go by their leader.

What a tease.

"I'll go get something to drink, anyone want anything else?" Sakura asks the group as she was about to walk out of the practice room.

Majority answer with either a 'No thanks, I'm good' or 'An energy drink please'. The rest - well - they were preoccupied with other things.

Few minutes after she had gone out, Chaeyeon announces she'd be going to the restroom, not bothering to ask if anyone would want to come with.

She speedwalks out of the room while stealing glances back at the girls to see if one of them was trailing behind.

Thankfully, no one was.

From a distance, she spots the Japanese standing in front of a vending machine, patiently waiting for her drink. She jogs towards the latter and waits with her as well.

"Oh Chaeyeon--" Sakura lightly hits her shoulder in astonishment, her eyes widening after realizing what Chaeyeon had done. "Ya! They might see us."

The younger rolls her eyes, proudly smirking after being able to steal a kiss from her partner. "That was just one kiss!"

"Ya Lee Chaeyeon, you should behave. What if someone sees us, hmm?"

"I highly doubt that."

When Sakura takes hold of the can of soda, Chaeyeon almost immediately drags her with her to the restroom.

"Okay, so we're finally alone. You don't have to worry." The taller one breathes out in relief as she locks the door behind Sakura. "You look so good today, it was so hard not to stare."

The latter simply chuckles and leaves a peck on the other's pouted lips, "You're too cute."

"Yena said you're glowing differently lately."

"Well, that's because I'm being taken care of by the right person now." Sakura says, nearing her face closer to Chaeyeon's. "Don't you agree?"

"Absolutely." The younger confidently answers as she closes the gap between them.

It was short but sweet, and although Chaeyeon wished Sakura hadn't pulled away any sooner, she knew they had to go back otherwise the other members might suspect something.

"We'll tell them soon, okay?"

"Okay."

"Oh and Saku-chan?" Chaeyeon calls out, pulling the latter back after she attempts to unlock the door.

"Yes, love?"

"Would you like to go out with me after rehearsals?" The younger asks with a blush, "I mean it's totally fine if you're tired and--"

Sakura cuts her off with a kiss and laughs, "Chaeyeon, as long as it's with you, I'd always love to."

-

"That's it for today! Well done, girls!" Their choreographer compliments while the girls bow to the staff in gratitude.

"Do you girls want to eat out?" Eunbi asks as she hears her own stomach growl in hunger.

"Noooo." Yena, Wonyoung, Yujin, and Chaewon whine in unison.

"Can we just have some food delivered? I'm kinda tired." Minju suggests and the rest agrees.

Hesitantly, Chaeyeon tries to get their attention. "Um... Saku-chan and I will--"

"Yes, no problem. Go ahead, just don't be out too late, got it?" Eunbi authoritatively tells them. Surprisingly, she knew right away what Chaeyeon was pertaining to, even though she wasn't able to finish her sentence.

"Ahhh these lovebirds." Yujin teases with a singsong tone.

"Got it."

The girls soon leave the venue and only the couple stays. Sakura offers out her hand for Chaeyeon to hold, which she gladly does.

"Where to?"

"Wherever you'd like to take me to."

Before Sakura can walk off, Chaeyeon pulls her back and leaves a short kiss on her lips.

Then, with fingers intertwined together, they happily swing each other's arm as they walk out of the building.

From a distance, flashes from a camera flicker, and a camera shutter was heard following the direction of the young couple.
