I stare down at the number on the scale.

I'm almost there. Just one to go...

I plan to meet with Hyunjin later today, but I want to see him now. Is that selfish of me? I stare at my phone in anticipation of his routine text over the past 2 days.
----------------------------------------------------------

Hyunjin:
Good morning!
Min:
Good morning. How did you sleep?
Hyunjin:
I slept alright. You?
Min:
Same.

----------------------------------------------------------
Yes, because I totally WASN'T up most of the night thinking about you...
----------------------------------------------------------

Hyunjin:
I have a salon appointment in a bit.
Min:
Ooh! Any new colors in the works?
Hyunjin:
I think so. We'll see when I get there.
Min:
Now, I'm excited!

----------------------------------------------------------
Three hours of anxiously waiting and dancing later, I get a text from him asking if Chan can come with us. I tell him yes and he says they'll be at my dorm in a minute.

I sit out in the common area on the couch and scroll Instagram, seeing a picture of Hyunjin and Felix modeling and signing autographs from a fan account.

"Guess what!?" Penny suddenly slides into the room on her socks, scaring me and nearly making me drop my phone.

"What?" I ask her once I take a deep breath. She turns her phone around excitedly and I have to take it from her because she's shaking so much I can't see the screen.

"We have a K-Pofile now!" I stand up and hug her happily then step back, "Wait, wait, let's check the info..."

"I already checked mine. It's all right," she laughs. I scroll down past Hana and Young Mi and see mine. The picture is just from the photo shoot when we got our outfits a few days before.

Mun Min-soo... Position, birthday, height, personality type. From what I can see, they're all right...

"It's almost creepy how they know all this stuff about us already, huh?" Penny breaks my thoughts.

"Yeah, it is," I nod and look at the time, "It's almost 2pm. Where are those boys?"

The girl next to me giggles and plops down on the couch backwards, "Aw, you going to the gym with lover-boy again?"

"If you mean Hyunjin, then yes," I sigh, "Chan is going with us today, though."

"Such a shame you won't be able to have him alone..." she looks off into space dreamily and I playfully shove her.

"What!? I'm just saying!" she throws her hands up defensively and I hear a knock at the door.

I head over to answer it, "Yeah, yeah. Whatever..."

"You ready to go?" Chan's cheerful Aussie accent immediately cheers me up and he rubs his hands together, beaming excitedly.

"Yeah," I smile back at him and look around, "Where's-" I stop when I see Hyunjin shyly poke his head out from behind Chan. His hair is bright blue. Like cobalt blue.

"Uhm, hey," I wave, probably looking very stupid.

"Hi," he waves back with a grin. I say goodbye to Penny and step out into the hall. We start walking towards the gym and Chan goes ahead of me and Hyunjin so that we can walk next to each other.

Yeah, he definitely did that on purpose...

"I like the blue," I say to Hyunjin, trying to make small talk.

"Really?" he run his hand through his hair nervously, "Thanks. I wasn't sure about it, to be honest..."

"Either way," I sigh teasingly, "It's done now."

"Yeah... Wait! Hey!" he laughs and playfully shoves me. I dodge when he reaches for me again and run ahead of Chan, reaching the elevator button.

Two hours later...

"I'm gonna take the stairs," Chan nods towards the door, "You guys have fun!" He winks. I'm honestly not sure which of us he was winking to though.

I nervously laugh and push the elevator button, stuffing my hands in my pockets.

"I actually do like your hair," I glance at him, then stare back at the ground when I see him looking down at me.

"Thanks. I think it's growing on me," Hyunjin smiles to me. He looks at his hazy reflection in the shiny metal door just before it opens for us.

"Hey I saw this morning that BLXE's K-Profile was added," he breaks the silence in the elevator.

I nod, "Oh, yeah it was. Penny showed me just before you guys showed up earlier. They got all my info right from what I saw." He suddenly takes a step closer to me and reaches his hand slowly towards my face.

I lean back and he chuckles, "There's something in your hair. Sorry, I should have asked."

Aw, how sweet...

"No, it's ok. You just startled me," I shake my head and he grins back at me. I watch his face carefully as he gently pulls a piece of lint from my hoodie off my bangs. He flicks it away and his eyes catch mine. He leans towards me a little more and I notice him glance down.

Is he going to...

Just then, the elevator door opens and he quickly turns and walks out with his head down and his hands in his sweatpant pockets.

Was he going to kiss me??
