"Woah, the fans liked that so much that they want you to do a full cover!"

I woke to, of course, Sana screaming in my ear. "Wake up, lazyhead. I know what you did last night. So you two are on good terms now?"

"What are you talking about?" I yawned sleepily, stretching my back as I dragged myself off my bed.

"You and Hyunjin, obviously. The live from yesterday. Were you like, acting or were you genuine?" Sana rapidly fired questions towards me.

"Woah, woah. Slow down with the questions there, missy. I just woke up and I am not feeling like answering your questions right now," I sighed. "Give me some rest time." Then I realized something. "Wait, did you stay up watching our live?"

"You're not the only one with insomnia, you know," Sana commented dryly. "I think yours just affects you more often. Mine barely ever even happens. Just last night. So, answer my question."

I attempted to change the topic. "Uh, so what's today's schedule?"

Sana gave me a knowing look. "Don't think I don't know just what you're trying to pull. Might as well just give up and answer my question."

"Okay, fine," I sighed again. "It was genuine."

Sana's eyes lit up almost immediately. "So you did make up."

"Yeah, I guess you could call it that. We're... friends? Now," I clarified. A ding came from my phone and the screen lit up. I grabbed from the small stand and checked my notifications. It was a notification from AnnoyingNotHandsomeBoyHyunjin. After rethinking the contact name for a moment, I took care to remove the 'Not' in front of Handsome.

I'll think about the 'Annoying' part later.

AnnoyingHandsomeBoyHyunjin:

hey! this feels kind of weird considering the last message either of us sent to each other was like, more than a week ago, but whatever. hru?

Me:

i'm okay I guess. i'm really tired.

AnnoyingHandsomeBoyHyunjin:

lol as expected. what activities do you have today?

Me:

not much, we're promoting our b-side more heavily compared to the title now. so we have a performance at Inkigayo and Music Bank today. for 'Right Here'

AnnoyingHandsomeBoyHyunjin:

i like that song a lot. ur voice is so pretty T-T

wish my voice could be pretty like that 😭

Me:

what do u mean? ur voice is the prettiest voice i've ever heard, okay?

As soon as I sent that, I looked up from my phone screen, in utter shock. I couldn't believe I just sent that to him. It was a spontaneous action, mostly because I wanted to make him feel better about his voice. 

Then I smirked. This could be a great opportunity for some fun, I just had to take it.

Me:

just like u

AnnoyingHandsomeBoyHyunjin:

hahaha i hear that a lot, yk. but its the funniest when hearing it from u (bc u don't like to admit that its true but it is)
