𝙭𝙭.

"thanks for coming along with me." Seungcheol turned to the girl on his left as he spoke to her, simultaneously keeping his main attention on the road ahead.

"Yeah well kinda didn't have a choice. Plus these fries are bomb so it's alright." Aerin was sort of over the craziness of this whole situation. Sure the delicious loaded fries were most definitely helping, but whatever worked, worked. If he was being honest, Seungcheol had started to feel the guilt seeping in. He was so caught up in having the chance of going that he completely disregarded Rin's feelings, pushing them aside and forcing her into something she didn't want to do.

The male idol gripped his wheel with more strength as he tried holding himself from changing personalities again. He knew that Aerin probably already thought he was crazy, so it would do no justice to add to that.

It was now late into the night and it was safe to say that the two were enjoying themselves towards the end--even Aerin who was completely opposed to it a few hours ago. But sadly, they both had schedules in the morning, leading Seungcheol to drive the girl home at midnight before it got any later.

Seungcheol heaved a sigh, "hey um... sorry for dragging you along. I'm so used to just doing whatever I want because i know the company has nothing on me. You, on the other hand, well any small thing could ruin your hard work and i guess i forgot that." Well there went his urge to not switch personalities again.

Instead of somberly accepting his apology though, Aerin found herself chuckling like a psychopath while Seungcheol only was in shock. Her laugh continued on for another whole minute until she finally calmed down and wiped the tears leaving her happy eyes. "Cheol...don't be fucking silly. I can hold my own, i would have done something if I genuinely didn't want to go. Sure it made me worried at first, but i hate to admit i kind of had fun, so it's all good." Seungcheol was surprised to say the least. He had completely expected her to still be mad with him or even avoiding him, but this was surprising to say the least.

"Well...i was not expecting that." Aerin giggled.

"I mean what i said is true, unless anything happens of course. In that case it's all on you." The male idol grinned in satisfaction.

"Of course." As he finished speaking, Aerin could see her dorm appear close ahead and she gathered her belongings.

Seungcheol pulled up to the curb and turned to look at the girl who was opening the door of the expensive car, exiting it swiftly. The moment she was out, the girl turned back to meet Seungcheol's smiling face who was barely visible due to the moonlight being all to illuminate his features.

"Thanks, Cheol" she smiled and he smiled back.

"Anytime."

Aerin's alarm filled up her dorm room and with a few deep breaths of exhaust, the idol was up and out of her bed. It was her third alarm to go off and if she slept through this one she knew her leader position would most definitely be threatened. Being late to their comeback meeting was most positively a no no. To be fair though, she had gotten home later than usual and the thoughts of last night were practically on loop.
