Haerin's POV
The next day during dance practice, I tried my best to avoid Danielle but it was kind of hard considering that we had to interact during some parts of the dance. It seemed like our dance coach noticed that there was some tension between us. She told all of us to take a 10 minute break to "catch our breath". I took this as a chance to talk to Danielle.

"Uhm im gonna go to the bathroom." I told our coach. She nodded and then I dragged Danielle along with me. "Haerin unnie, why do you need Danielle unnie to go to the bathroom with you." Hyein asked. I froze, not knowing what to say. "Uh... I get scared when I go by myself." "But-" I speed walked out of the room with Danielle to avoid any more questions.

As me and Danielle got to the bathroom I locked the door behind us so no one could walk in on our... conversation. "Haerin, whatever you're going to do to me, get it over with." Danielle told me, looking somewhat annoyed. Ouch. "Danielle, whatever you think you saw yesterday, I swear it wasn't about you." I said. I could tell she didn't believe me from the look on her face. "Oh really? Your hand was down your pants and you were moaning my name." Damn, I was kinda hoping she didn't hear that.

"O-oh... well I was uhm talking about a different person... yknow you're not the only Danielle in my life." At this point she just looked at me in disbelief. "Haerin, I know you're lying, you're avoiding eye contact and stuttering, if you just tell me the truth now it won't have to be a big deal." She sounded calm... too calm. "I don't know what to tell you, I was talking about a different person. You must have heard me wrong." Now she definitely knew I was lying. She scoffed and started to walk towards the door.

"Danielle wait. Can you at least act happy for the dance. Ms Heejin definitely notices the tension between us." I hoped she would say yes and we would never speak of this again. We keep having to restart because of us and I feel bad for the rest of our members. "After you just lied to me, multiple times, you want me to act like everything is all find and dandy?" "Please Dani, Minji, Hanni, and Hyein are probably all tired of having to restart because of us."

I was practically begging at this point. If I needed to get on my knees and beg her, I would.

So we could all rest, not because of any... other reasons.

"Fine, only because I want to go home." I was so happy she finally agreed. "This doesn't mean I forgive you though." Oh. Atleast we can get this over with and all go home. Because that was my goal with this conversation... right? Danielle then went back to the practice room and I realized our ten minutes were almost up. I decided to head back a little after her so it didn't look like we were doing anything... naughty.

Danielle's POV
I tried to act like everything was fine, though it was hard since Haerin had just lied to me, multiple times. When we finally got a good take of the choreo, we all decided to order Tteokbeokki to the dorms. Minji, Hanni, and Hyein invited us to their dorm so we could eat there. It was so much fun there, minus the fact I had to sit next to Haerin.

Sometimes I caught her staring. Not gonna lie, I kinda liked it... wait no im mad at her. And, I dont like her... right? When we finished, me and Haerin went back to our dorm, we both went to our rooms not saying one word to each other. Mostly because I basically ran to my room, not letting her get a word out.

As I got to my room, I closed the door and sat on my bed. I was scrolling on instagram when I found Haerin's account. I went on it and scrolled all the way down. I was looking at her old posts and  I came across one of her in a bikini. I swear I stopped breathing for a minute. She looked so good in it I couldn't believe she was real.

As I was looking at that post, my phone glitched and I accidentally liked her post. I panicked and quickly unliked it but then realized she probably already saw it as she's always on her phone. As I was panicking An idea popped into my head. If she ever asked about it, I could just pretend I don't know what she's talking about. But then I would be lying, just like she did to me.

I just decided to tell the truth if she ever brought it up. But I hoped that she would never bring it up, I hate being confronted.

Haerin's POV
I was in my room watching the secret of us. "Ugh Lada is being so annoying, Earn is literally trying to apologize."  When I got a notification from instagram. *danis.puppies liked your post* I didn't find it that weird even though I knew she was mad. Until I opened it and realized she liked a post from 2 YEARS AGO.

I literally post almost everyday so I did find it a bit suspicious that she liked a post from years ago. "Is she stalking my instagram account or something?" I asked myself. This girl, she's mad at me for lying to her yet stalks my instagram account? These mixed signals will be the death of me. I gotta admit, i'm kind of embarrassed that she saw me like that, considering how tough I acted when I first met her.

All this thinking about her is really hurting my brain. I decided to just sleep it off. Maybe in the morning my brain will hurt a bit less. I really hope she doesn't see those embarrassing baby photos of me.
