Falling For You - ENHYPEN FF

24

Day three on Jeju Island.

Jungwon stood right in front of the mirror, blow-drying his hair that was still kinda damp after his morning shower.

"What's your plan for today?" Jay asked, still lounging on the bed.

"I'm thinking of going for a morning walk, maybe explore the area around here."

"Alone?"

"Uhm—" Jungwon paused, glancing at the clock on his left wrist.

"—I plan on inviting Jeena."

Jungwon's words made Jay instantly raise his head and adjust his sitting position.

"Why didn't you invite me?"

"You're not even ready and just lying there, I thought you'd just be lazy as usual, right?"

"Who said?"

Jay quickly got up from his bed and rushed to the bathroom.

"Don't go anywhere! Wait for me. 10 minutes!!"

Meanwhile, Jungwon just sighed and rolled his eyes.

"Get out of my way!"

"No, you get out of my way!!" Sunghoon said, giving his roommate a push with his body as they both fought over the exit door.

"Park Sunghoon!!! Eergghh—"

Sunghoon quickly left his cottage room and ran away, with Heeseung not wanting to lose, chasing after him. Their goal was the same, to meet Jeena.

"Sunghoon, wait!!"

"No way!"

Heeseung ran faster and finally managed to overtake Sunghoon, surprising him as he found himself now in the back.

Yes, since last night after finding out each other's secrets, they've been competing to see who can win Jeena's heart. And today, they're both trying to be the first to ask Jeena out.

"I woke up earlier than you, so I should be the one to ask her out first, you have to wait your turn!" Sunghoon said, picking up his pace again.

"Not happening, if I can run faster than you, then I'll be the one to successfully go out with her first! Look at you, so slow! Haha—"

"Wait— what?!! You— you confess your love to Heeseung?! I thought you like Sunghoon?" Leeseo was shocked when she heard her bestfriend's story that happened yesterday.

"Shhh!! Can you lower your voice?! Yes, I confessed to Heeseung. But— it's because I was frustrated! Sunghoon rejected me, and I was sad at that time. So I thought I needed someone else, and— I guess I got carried away by people saying that Heeseung and I would make a great couple. So, I wanted to make it real.."

"But, Wonyoung.. are you silly? You're not even close to Heeseung, how could he accept you? You should have approached him slowly and genuinely. If it's like that, it's like you're treating Heeseung as your backup option just because you got turned down by Sunghoon,"

Knock knock

Both girls were startled by the knocking sound on their cottage door.

"I will open it," Leeseo said as she got up and quickly opened the door.

She found two boys with sweat pouring down their foreheads and gasping for breath.

"What are you doing here? And— why are you out of breath?" Leeseo asked with a confused expression as she saw Heeseung and Sunghoon right in front of her cottage door.
