~Yoona's POV~

We were out at the mall for my birthday. Shopping was what I wanted to do. We all walked into a store and started to look around. Rin stayed by me while the others separated around the store. Rin and I were looking through a rack when we heard somebody call her name.

"Seorin-ah!" We both looked over to see a trio of boys belonging to the popular boy group, The Boyz.

"Oh! Hyunjae-ah!" Rin exclaimed, hugging her friend.

"You remember Sangyeon and Sunwoo, right?" Hyunjae introduced his members.

"Yes, hello." Rin bowed to them, them doing the same. Rin then put her arm around me. "This is my member, Yoona."

"Nice to meet you, Yoona." Sangyeon said as I hadn't met him or Sunwoo before. The two bowed.

"Nice to meet you too." I bowed back.

Rin and Hyunjae started chatting and I decided it was pointless for me to be there so I turned around and started shopping some more. I shopped around the store when somebody came up to me.

"You dropped this." A pin came into my view. The pin was one I recognized as I had it on my bag. I looked at my bag to see the pin was no longer there. I then followed the hand up to see Sunwoo.

"Thank you." I said, taking the pin back.

He nodded and started to walk away, but of course my curious self couldn't stop my question from blurting out. "How did you know it was mine?"

He stopped walking away and turned to look at me. "I saw it fall."

"You were watching me?" I raised a brow.

He shook his head, implying a no. "I just happened to see it."

I nodded. "Well, thanks again."

He nodded. "Happy Birthday." Then he walked away. I was a little caught off guard but decided to let him go. I'm sure Rin just happened to mention it was my birthday but I still found myself smiling.

~Gaeul's POV~

"Isn't the sunset beautiful?" Sunghyun asked, his arm around me as we watched the sunset from the Pinky Entertainment roof.

"It is." I said, glancing at him. I liked watching his gaze at something he enjoys.

That's when I suddenly felt a shiver down my spine.

"Are you cold?" He asked, already taking off his jacket.

"Nights really do immediately get cold, don't they?" I mention as the sun was officially set.

Sunghyun snickered as he put his jacket around me. I smiled and put my head on his shoulder, him wrapping his arm around me and laying his head on mine.

We sat like that for a while before we decided to go get some street food. We've been doing fancy dinners for a while so we decided to just get some street food this time.

As we made our way to a tteokbokki stall, Sunghyun put his hand in his jacket pocket which was still on me. He took out his wallet and went up to the stall to pay. As I waited for him, I put my cold hands in the pockets only to feel a small piece of paper inside one of them. Curious, I took it out to see it was in the shape of a heart. I examined it to find words written on one side. I read them aloud. "Will you go out with me?"
