➪WINTER IS HOT || WINRINA

𝚃𝚠𝚎𝚗𝚝𝚢

"we came here as fast as we could" yeonjun gasped out, pushing the ajar door with the plastic bag that hung on his arm. inside were their favorite ice cream. he didn't even get to go inside as hyunjin pushed him out of the way, speed-walking to where a group of teens was huddled up at the center of the room with a large blanket wrapped around them. 

"I'm here" hyunjin announced, joining the huddle. he grimaced as he noticed the person in the middle of the huddle. Tears stains on their cheeks, eyes puffy with snot running down their nose. But despite that, hyunjin can't help but be in awe as to how gorgeous the person still was. "Life isn't fair—ouch!"

Sunoo hissed at him, raising the same clenched fist, and motioned toward hitting hyunjin again. "Don't listen to him rina. He's an idiot" he agreed to his statement with a nod. "And please don't listen to what winter said. She can't hate you. She's—youch!" Sunoo yelped, glaring at jaemin who pinched him.

It wasn't their place to tell karina that winter liked her. It was winter's. But given what karina recently told them, they wondered if it really was.

But what karina said confused them. It was clear that winter liked karina, and based on what the silly girl told them of the description of the girl winter likes, it matched her. So why won't karina believe it?

"I-i don't know sunoo" karina sniffed, wiping the snot on her nose on the tissue jaemin gave. Again, he was the first one to arrive after her call. "It's just. It kinda sucks knowing that the person who you like hates you"

"Oh brother" beomgyu grumbled, slouching. He was leaning against the door frame. "That's actually sad. I mean, taehyun somewhat hates my guts and we can't have any decent conversation without him cursing at my name"

"I believe we all have our own enemies-to-lovers story" jungwon gently mused, looking away from the huddle to beomgyu. "And it's something that we would end up looking back to in the future. But rina, I don't winter meant that way. She can't—wouldn't hate you. You're too cool for that. And, I know we aren't in the position to say this but, what if you misinterpreted things?"

"Or better, what if she misinterpreted things" jaemin gave the rest a knowing look. He heard from shotaro, the otter pulling him to the side to tell him this. He suddenly clapped his hands, taking out his phone from his back pocket right after. "Why don't we try being honest here? Like, all fax no printer" he turned on the gadget, clicking the camera app immediately. He changed the mode from phot to video, switching the camera to the back camera. "Want to confess to her?"

"What's the point jaems?" Hyunjin asked the bunny. "It's not like—" his speech was interrupted by sunoo who nudged his stomach, motioning him to keep quiet. He understood. They got a plan. He nodded his head. "Yeah rina. Be honest with us for her. Let it all out"
