"Chan..." she started, not having planned what she was going to say at all she knew it was going to come out as a mess but she didn't really care.

"Thank you for being there for me that night." she whispered softly with a sad smile on her face.

"Kitkat, you know if it was any of the others they would have done the same for you right?" he responded, trying to deflect it.

"It doesn't matter tho Chris because it wasn't the others that helped me, it was you." she said, beginning to tear up. "I am so so sorry if you thought I would have lead you on like that or kissed you for no reason..."

"No, Kat, I'm sorry for not speaking to you about it all and acting like a dick to you, you didn't deserve that." he spoke, "To be honest Kat, I've liked you for a while now, I just know how you feel about these things so I never wanted to tell you because I didn't want to be hurt."

"Chan, I like you, a lot." she admitted, a sinking feeling in her stomach after finally admitting it she realised how vulnerable she felt.

"It took me a while to realise it, but the feelings of jealousy when you speak to other girls, the butterflies I get when you come a little too close, it could only mean one thing..."

"When I eventually realised, I didn't know if I could tell you because I still don't know if anything can happen between us, I'm scared of being hurt and I'm scared to ruin our friendship." she was really holding tears back now.

"Kat, don't be silly," Chan began, pulling her into a hug, "Nothing would ever ruin our friendship, and I never want you to feel pressured to do anything, we can stay as friends if thats what will make you happiest." he spoke softly to her, as much as the words saddened him, they were true, he would rather be friends with her than be nothing at all.

"But Chan..." she whispered and he hummed in response.

"I'm not scared if it's with you." she breathed as she pulled out of the hug to look at him and smile through her tears.

Chan looked her in the eyes and pulled her into a kiss. This time was very different to their first. A million feelings were conveyed and they knew they both needed this.

As they pulled away, Kat had never felt more peaceful. "That wasn't so scary." she affirmed, smiling as she went in to hug him again.

"Not scary at all." Chan agreed, kissing the top of her head.

"How are we going to explain this to the others?" Kat started thinking out loud to herself.

"We could just tell them, I don't think they will care that much to be honest." Chan suggested.

"Nah, I think we should shock them with it." Kat had a mischievous look on her face. "Like just make out in front of them or something." she giggled to herself at the thought of Jisung's reaction.

"That sounds good actually I like that plan" he was smirking at the sheer thought of making out with Kat in the first place, like any teenage boy would.

"Though, Felix mayyyyyy not be surprised..." Chan said quietly.

"Yeah, I don't think Binnie will be either..." Kat murmured.

"But imagine Jisung's reaction!" she almost shouted laughing at his face in her head, making Chan laugh at how much fun she was having with the idea of surprising everyone.

"I say games night round mine tomorrow?" she grinned and Chan nodded his head in agreement.

Through school the whole day, the pair were exchanging looks and smirks to each other, which miraculously nobody noticed. Not even Changbin.

They all began the walk home to Kat's house where they would be having their games night.

For the whole walk Kat had to walk the other side of the group to Chan as she literally would not have been able to keep herself off of him otherwise. But who can blame her to be honest...

Instead she spent the whole walk annoying Minho. Every five seconds all they heard was "KATERINA I SWEAR TO GOD IF YOU DONT STOP TOUCHING ME YOU WILL NOT LIVE TO SEE TOMORROW" from Minho and Kat would just poke her tongue out and do it again.

Eventually they arrive at Kat's house. As soon as they got in Kat ran upstairs while shouting "Just getting changed be there in five!" and the rest of them made themselves at home.

She came down wearing a some baggy grey joggers and a baggy off the shoulder t-shirt, making her look very cute.

The boys had loaded up Mario Kart on the switch and began playing as soon as Kat sat down. Now the plan takes place.

"LETS GOOOOO!" Kat jumped up screaming as she had beat them all again. Seungmin looked pissed as he had been first the whole time then Kat over took him in the last 10 seconds of the race.

Normally, Kat would poke fun at him saying how she's the best but this time she waltzed over to Chan, sat down on his lap and pulled him in for a kiss.

Literally everyone stopped in their tracks. The room was so silent that they must have all stopped breathing or something.

"Umm sorry what the fuck did I just see." Hyunjin said in absolute disgust at watching his best friends kiss.

Kat and Chan looked at each other and burst out laughing, leaving everyone else still more confused.

Amidst the laughter, Changbin and Felix high-fived each other. They knew this would happen after all.

"Okay guys we have a small announcement..." Kat declared like she was on a news channel, "Chan and I are dating!" she squealed, happy to tell all of her friends.

Jisung's jaw was hanging open, he must have been in the most shock of all of them because he had not moved since they just kissed.

"Okay we get it we are single still." Minho rolled his eyes, "Jisungie, close you mouth you're going to catch flies in there in a minute." he exclaimed turning to Jisung who snapped his mouth closed when finally spoken to.

"When did this happen?" Felix asked, smirking knowing they could finally be happy together.

"Last night," Chan told him, "We were at my house and she told me everything and I confessed too."

"You went to his house?" Hyunjin wiggled his eyebrows at them both in a joking manner.

"Hyunjin! First night! Nothing happened you weirdo!" Kat exasperated.

"Boringgggg." Hyunjin bantered.
