~ time skip, a month.

Dating Soyeon feels even better than being friends with her. Expected, honestly. Nothing could make me not love her. Not even the weird phone calls I hear her having, and the words I hear in them running constantly through my mind.

She's so gorgeous. She's so sweet. She's adorable. She's fun to be around. Soyeon is just perfect. I went to her studio a few more times, and Soyeon actually made the song with those lines I sang once. It obviously turned out amazing, and surprisingly, I liked how my voice sounded in it. Soyeon seems to really like my voice, so we recorded more songs together. She hasn't shown them to me yet, but she said she's working on something, so I'm waiting with anticipation.

We still leave the house at night if Soojin and Shuhua are doing their usual thing, and we usually go to the same place where we exchanged our first kiss and just sit there, stare at the city, and talk. It's really therapeutic and relaxing, and I'm pretty glad we get to do it pretty often. If we feel too lazy to go out, we either just get a little spicy ourselves or just cuddle and try to sleep.

Shuhua has started talking to me more, obviously. Soojin has too. They're both really nice, but I still lowkey feel like Shuhua has something against me sometimes. I feel like she wants to keep Soyeon away from me from time to time. But I haven't said anything about it, I just pretend like I don't notice.

~~•~~

It was midnight, and Soyeon once again ran to the bathroom to talk to Minnie, I assumed, and told me to lie to Shuhua. She doesn't do this that often, but it has become a habit for me now to eavesdrop on these secret phone calls. Most of the time it's not Minnie, but when it is, it's just her crying to Soyeon, basically.

Shuhua and Soojin were in Shuhua's room, but no moaning or anything could be heard. I walked quietly over to the bathroom door and leaned against it to listen. Soyeon seemed really annoyed with whoever was calling her. Probably Minnie. But Soyeon didn't put it on speaker this time, so I could only hear her and not the other person.

"I told you not to ever contact me again." I heard Soyeon say. I also heard indistinct crying and shouting from the phone, then Soyeon yelled back. "Don't fucking talk to me like that! You're the one who wanted me involved in this, you little bitch!"

My eyes widened. I had never heard Soyeon be so angry before, and this only led me even more to think that she was talking to Minnie.

"You have to be fucking kidding me." She continued, now more calmly. "Fuck you and do not call me again."

I ran back to the bedroom. Shuhua was already in there, surprisingly.

"Where's Soyeon?" She asked.

"In the bathroom." I replied.

"Did you two argue?"

"What?! No."

"Oh. Then why do you seem upset?"

"I'm just tired and wanna sleep." I said. Soyeon came back to the bedroom shortly after, and Shuhua looked at both of us weirdly.

"What are you doing here? Weren't you and Soojin making out?" Soyeon asked.

"Soojin is asleep. Why were you yelling at someone in the bathroom?!" Shuhua replied, again with a question. Soyeon pretended to ignore her question.

"I didn't hear anything...?" I jumped in. Soyeon glanced at me for a second.

"I did. Answer me." Shuhua demanded.
