"Chae, just ask her." "No, I will not."

Tzuyu and Sana were following me around The House, trying to convince me to ask Dahyun on a proper date.

"But why? What if she feels the same way you do? I mean, she did kiss you after all."

She did kiss me. But maybe it's always been in the heat of the moment, maybe she doesn't mean anything by it when we kiss.

"No, I will not ask her. That's final."

"Ask who what?" All our heads turned towards the staircase where a sleepy Dahyun was standing, a stuffed bear clutched to her chest.

"Did we wake you, Dahyun?" Tzuyu pouted, going to hug the barely awake girl.

"No, it's okay." Dahyun smiled gently at Tzuyu before looking towards Sana and I.

She looks so adorable in her beige bear printed pajamas with her stuffed animal clutched to her chest. God, why is she so precious?

"Is everything okay?" She questioned, her worry filled eyes gazing into mine.

"Everything is just fine, Dahyun. How about we all get dressed and go out for breakfast?" Sana suggested.

"Can we invite Momo and Nayeon?" Tzuyu questioned, only causing Dahyun to scrunch her nose up at the mention of Momo.

"If they want to tag along they can, but don't force them, Tzuyu."

The latter nodded, smiling widely as she ran up the stairs toward the two girls' rooms.

My attention was brought towards Dahyun as she questioned in a soft tone, "What occasion do I dress for?"

Sana smiled gently at the girl, but I was just standing there, starstruck, by how innocent and precious she is.

"Just dress in something casual and comfortable, okay?"

The brunette nodded before ascending back up the stairs.

"Come on, Chae. Let's go get ready."

-

Momo and Nayeon decided to tag along, Nayeon was excited to get to know Dahyun.

Momo, on the other hand, just wanted to get with the brunette.

I'm sure if Dahyun didn't brush off every word she said, her flirting would work on the girl.

"Dahyun," Nayeon started as the waitress walked off with our orders. "How'd you get to know our girls?"

"They're regulars at the convenience store I work at." Nayeon nodded, glancing toward me before asking another question.

"You and Chae seem rather close, have you guys known each other for a while?"

The brunette blushed, shaking her head softly. "No, we recently just met."

Nayeon nodded once more, a smile tugging at her lips.

"Dahyun is really sweet and kind and we're really glad to have made friends with her. Right girls?" Sana questioned the table, everyone nodding in agreement.

Dahyun blushed harder, mumbling a thank you as she hung her head.

We continued to make small talk, discussing trivial things like dream vacations, favorite actors and actresses, and foods we like.

The food finally arrived, and once it did, the table fell into a comfortable silence while everyone ate their breakfast.

"So, Dahyun." Nayeon began, earning everyone's attention. "How does your boyfriend feel about you staying with a house full of girls?"

"Oh, well, I...I don't have a boyfriend." Nayeon plastered a shocked expression onto her face, only seeming to fool Dahyun.

"Really?" Dahyun shyly nodded her head, not looking at anyone at the table.

"Girlfriend?" Nayeon pried, earning a glare from Sana.

"I don't have a girlfriend, either." Dahyun spoke softly.

"Well, I'm sure you'll find someone amazing soon." Dahyun mumbled a thank you before going back to her food, clearly embarrassed.

Tzuyu kicked Nayeon under the table, mouthing 'stop it' to the leader.

Nayeon just shrugged with a grin before going back to her meal as well.

After we all finished eating, we paid our tabs, Nayeon insisting that Dahyun not pay for hers since she's a guest.

"Let me pay, you're a guest. Guests don't pay."

"But I don't mind." The brunette pouted, holding her card in her hand in wait for the debate to be over.

I sighed at the two before placing my card on the counter, interrupting the debate.

"Hey." Dahyun whined while Nayeon smiled in triumph.

As we were all leaving, Sana whispered something to Dahyun, who only shook her head rapidly.

Dahyun tried to stop the older before she announced, "Girls, let's go swimming. It's a nice day out and we hardly have the whole gang together."

Everyone cheered in excitement, except for Dahyun, who seemed nervous.

"I'll call the gang and tell them to get ready and we'll all meet at the pool."

The pool was like an aquatic center but purely for ONCE. They bought it. They bought a whole ass aquatic center.

"Dahyun, you have a swimsuit, right?" Nayeon questioned the pouting girl, who just shook her head.

"Do you know how to swim?" Momo further inquired, earning a nod from the girl.

"Well, let's go buy you a suit then."

Before Dahyun could protest, Tzuyu had her arm linked with the girl's and was dragging her to the car with excitement.

Sana rested her arm on my shoulder, sighing in triumph. "You'll thank me later."
