I walk out of the restroom and walk down the hall, walking into my room to see Dylan sitting on the edge of my bed.

I close my door behind me and lean on it. I only wore shorts and my chest was exposed due to the warm temperature of the night—I couldn't sleep with any more layers or else I would have heatstroke... not really but close to it.

"How did you get in?"

"Your mom let me in," Dylan says, his eyes roaming my body. I swallow harshly and his eyes go to mine "I was looking for you at the bonfire but you weren't there"

"Funny because I was looking for you as well" I didn't move from the door and just stood there.

"We probably just missed each other. I was gonna ask Hyunjin and Felix but I know they don't really like me"

I roll my eyes and look down "Yeah, they aren't fond of you"

"Maybe you can talk to them again, we can arrange a hangout. Both of our friend groups"

I look up "I don't think that's a good idea"

Dylan stands up and walks closer to me, making me tense up "Why not? I want our friends to get along" His hands go to my waist, his thumb smoothing over my skin.

"Because I don't think it's necessary. Not anymore"

He furrows his brows "Why not? You always told me you would like it if they did"

I pry his hands off me "That was before I found out you were cheating"

He froze and I stare at him. Waiting for him to deny it but he just stood there and I grab the door knob, opening the door which happen to be right on time as Chan and his friends walk past my room and stare at us.

"Dylan, mate, you look a bit pale," Chan says, making his friends laugh. Chan was also one that didn't like Dylan so this wasn't unusual.

Dylan looks at me "Jisung, please let's talk about this" He whispers.

"No, I don't have time. Just leave"

"Is everything okay?" I look to Chan and nod.

"Fine, everything's fine. Dylan was just leaving" I look at him and he stares at me before walking out of my room and soon the door was heard closing.

I sigh and look at the group "That was, interesting" Seungmin said before walking away and into Chan's room which was across from mine. Chan looks at me and says "Good night little bro" before walking away too. I noticed Changbin wasn't there so this left Minho standing there with a smirk.

I roll my eyes and close the door, turning off my light and going straight to lie in bed. We lived in a small house close to the water, so I had the habit of leaving my window cracked open to hear the waves crash along the shore.

I stare up at the ceiling, not bothering to cover myself as the warmth of my room was already enough. The moon reflected light off the water which cast up on my ceiling, lulling me to sleep on quiet nights but not tonight.

Hearing Chan and his friends laugh and the shooting of his video game plays loudly through the house.

I tried to sleep but I couldn't. I lay here for maybe an hour and my eyes refused to get heavy. I sigh, sitting up and getting off the bed.

I walk out of my room and go to the kitchen, turning on the light and going to the cupboard. I grab a glass and walk to the sink, filling it up with water and taking a sip. I put it on the counter and let my head fall as I look at the counter.

"Shouldn't you be sleeping?"

I turn around, my hand in my heart as I stare widely at Minho. "You scared the living shit out of me!" I whisper-yelled at the boy.
