January 27, 2023, Seoul, South Korea.

"Blah, blah, blah." "Oh you did? That's cool." "Blah, blah, blah." "That's amazing. I wanna try someday too." "Blah, blah, blah." "Oh she didn't."

"And then Yuma sat on the tiger, but the Lion ate him. He's been on the hospital for two days." EJ said. "Great! Wait what?" I took my gaze off my phone to look at him. "Were you even listening?" He asked.

"Yeah... sure. The... sushi you ate... was delicious." I quickly came up with. "I was saying we finally choose our leader." "Oh you did? Who is it?" I quickly asked. "Fuma is the sub-leader and I'm the leader." "No way! That's amazing." I said.

"Anyways what are you doing?" He asked. "Let's hear about you being the new leader." I trailed off. "No, who are you so eagerly texting?" EJ asked. "No one." "Let me see." He grabbed my phone and raised it, so I couldn't get it. Finally he read my conversation with Jungwon.

"Are you dating Jungwon?!" EJ exclaimed. "Shhhh! Keep it down. Answering your question, dating, dating, what you call dating. Yeah pretty much. I guess so." I confessed. "Whoa! Since when?" He asked.

"Yesterday. I did the cover, then I left with Haruto the whole day, and I got to the dorms almost at midnight. He got mad, because according to him I had sung it for him but then left with Haruto. Obviously I did sing it for him. That's not the point. The thing is we finally kissed, and confessed." I told him.

"Oh My God! I have to tell all the Ilanders our prayers have worked." EJ said. "What?" I asked. "We all knew y'all were getting together at some point. And you made us wait 3 fucking years!" EJ told me. "First of all: Hey! Second of all: You can't tell anyone. Actually that's the reason I'm here today." I said.

"Why?" He asked. "I needed to get out of the dorm, so the guys wouldn't be all over us, like you just did. I had to leave so they wouldn't try to investigate, and I could talk calmly with Jungwon. Even if it's just through text." I said. "Wait, you're not telling your members either?" He asked. "Pretty much." I said. "Whoa. I thought y'all shared everything." He said. "Well, sometimes keeping secrets it's okay." I said.

"Who's ready to hear?" Taehyun asked. "Us!" We cheered in unison. "Here it goes." Yeonjun pressed play on the video. We were with TXT watching the video for their latest comeback. 'Sugar Rush Ride'. Honestly I cheated, because Tae showed me the album before. But I had to act like I hadn't heard it, for their sake.

"Sugar Rush Rush, Sugar Rush Rush." We all sung along with the video. As soon as it was done, we all started to clap. "That was incredible!" Everyone cheered.

"Hi everyone!" Ria suddenly entered the room we were. "Hi Ria!" Everyone said hi to her nicely. I just said it in a low volume. "So Ria is here?" I asked in a low voice, but high enough for Jungwon to hear. He got close to my ear and I blushed, because everyone was there, but then he whispered.

"Jealous?" He pulled away smirking, which definitely made it worse. "No. I don't care at all." I mildly stuttered. "Am I making you stutter?" Jungwon asked laughing. "No." I said firmly.

When he made a move, it all seemed to change. Not only the fact that we were now openly talking about the way we felt. But the fact that since a night before, I have been more shy with him, and he has become really confident when talking to me.

"Hi Jungwonie! How are you doing?" Ria immediately went to greet him with a hug. Just him though, because Heeseung was about to greet her the same way, when she kind of ignored the hug.

"Fine and you?" Jungwon answered her. "Great! Hey, I wanted to discuss something with you, can you come?" Ria said and directly dragged him along to another place. I just stood there shocked as Jungwon looked back and looked at me apologetically.

"You okay?" Jake asked approaching me. "Yeah. Why the question though?" I asked back. "You haven't stopped starring at Jungwon and Ria since they left." "I'm okay. I don't care about Ria. She can do whatever she wants." I said. "If you say so."

"Hello Hayley! I have something in the kitchen. Can you come with me? Great! Let's go." Jungwon approached escaping from Ria. He took my hand and led me outside the room so we could go somewhere else. "There's not even a freaking kitchen near here." I said. "Yeah, but I was desperate."

"Why?" "She's kind of all over me. And I'm just exhausted. Pretend laughing and allegedly paying attention when in reality, I just want to be with you." He said, then again I blushed. I mean, we've never really been this expressive. "I also wanted to be with you." I said shyly. "Great, then let's be together for the rest of the night." He said and swung his arm over my shoulder.

"Just you and me?" I asked turning my head to face his neck. "Well, you, me and the other 10+ people outside." He said turning to look at me. Our faces were really close. Then we heard a camera clicking, and immediately pulled apart. We went outside to se what was going on, but it was just Ria taking selfie's with her purse, which seemed expensive.

"Cute purse." I said in the driest way possible. "Thank you." She said not sounding really thankful. Jungwon and I kept on walking.

We enjoyed the rest of the night together, as "friends" tho.
