Once I finished my duty and washed my hands, I walk out again, being taken aback and frozen in place at the sight in front of me.

There he stands, the boy who all my friends ship me with, kissing another girl.

Well, getting kissed by another girl. He tries to get out of her grip, but failing terribly. Once the girl notices my precense, she pushes the boy off of her, acting like he kissed her instead. She turns her head towards me, giving me a mischievous smile.

I'm even more taken aback of the girl standing in front of me than the kissing. Hyunjin turns to look at me, seeing it's me. He immediately becomes anxious, thinking I think he kissed her.

"N-Nikki. I swear to god, It's not what it looks like-" I cut him off by turning my attention to the girl next to him, who clearly has been enjoying the kiss. "Della?" I ask, furiously. Hyunjin seems to be very confused that I know the girl's name who he just has been making out with, unwanted.

"I'm back! I missed you so much!" Della tries to hug me, but before she can, Millie pushes her away. "Stay away from her. You don't have a reason to interact with her and her loved ones ever again, so leave."

Della scoffs, shaking her head. "I do whatever I want. But, lucky for you, I have to go. See you around~" She turns to Hyunjin and shoots a flirty smile at him before walking off. I sigh loudly.

Hyunjin turns to me, still confused. "Who the hell was that?" he asks, looking at me. I sigh once again, looking at Della walking away. "Della, my ex best friend. There's a reason why she is."

"I'm so sorry for kissing her, but I had no choice. She didn't let me go and I kind of froze of the action. I couldn't really functionate. I'm so sorry..." I chuckle at his worried face. "Don't worry about it, you don't have to apologize to me. And I know she kissed you and forced you, I could see at you trying to escape her grip." Hyunjin exhales loudly, releasing some stress that was building inside of him.

"So, you're Hyunjin, I assume?" Millie asks the boy. He nods, smiling at her. "I am. And you're Millie. I'm a huge fan, together with my members. It's a pleasure to meet you," Hyunjin exclaims happily. I look down, trying to hide my smile at how cute he is.

"Likewise. I heard a lot about you and your members. Thank you for making my best friend here already happier. Trust me, she likes being around you guys a lot." I see Hyunjin becoming a little shy at that, and I'm not blaming him.

"Are you here alone?" I ask the guy in front of me, trying to change the subject. "No, I'm here with Jeongin. He's waiting for me at a cafe, so I should get back to him. It was nice talking to you two. See you later, Nikki." He smiles at me and walks away, back to the little maknae.

Millie squeals a little, locking our arms together and pulling my arm down a little in excitement. "What are you up to now?" I ask her, finding her somewhat annoying at the moment.

"You never told me he was this good looking! And how he was worried of you because he kissed someone else, that screams 'I'm in love with you'. If he isn't, he wouldn't apologize to you."

She has a point there, but I'm not letting myself believe he likes me. I might get false hope.

False hope? Am I saying now that I like him?

Ugh, feelings. Don't get them, and never will.

"You okay there?" the girl next to me says, getting me out of my trance. I look at her, nodding my head. Millie starts pulling me along with her through the mall again. "So, tell me all about the Hyunjin guy, clearly I haven't heard everything."

[Hyunjin's POV]

I walk back to the table Jeongin is sitting. I see him on his phone. He turns to me once he sees me, putting his phone away. I sit back in the seat I sat in before I went to the restroom and take a sip of my drink.

"Where the hell were you? It doesn't take more than 5 minutes to go to the restroom, do your thing, and come back here," the maknae sitting opposite of me says, crossing his arms. He raises his eyebrows, signalling for me to talk.

"I went to the restroom and once I came out, there was this girl waiting for someone I guess. When she turned to me, her face lighting up. One thing went to another and she kissed me. I couldn't escape her until Nikki came and saw us. She knew the girl, she said she is her ex best friend. And after that I thanked her for stepping in and stuff. Millie was with her," I explain, simply summarizing the situation.

"Wow wow, too much information all at once. One, someone kissed you, and Nikki saw that? Two, she wasn't mad or anything? Three, I hate that girl. Four, MILLIE?!" I chuckle a little at his confused face, trying to take in all the information.

"One, yes and yes. Two, no, I apologized but she said it was okay since she knows she kissed me and I didn't want to kiss her. Three, me too. Four, yes, the one and only," I answer, getting a little annoyed by the several topics we're talking about at once.

"Was she nice? Is she still here? Should we go to them and ask to hang out?" Jeongin exclaims happily. He, together with Felix, is the biggest fan of Millie out of the group, so I already knew he would react something like that.

"She's nice and they just walked away to somewhere. We should go back to the hotel, though, I don't think Chan would be happy for us being late at the restaurant."

I finish my drink and we walk out of the mall, to the subway. Once we arrive at the hotel, we walk to the restaurant and see everyone sitting at a long table. Jeongin and I walk up to them, taking place in the two empty chairs.

"Where were you guys?" Chan asks me and Jeongin. They clearly have been waiting for us for some time. "We were at the mall. A little accident happened with Hyunjin," Jeongin explains. All the six remaining guys at the table turn their gazes towards me.

"Spill."
