12:00 AM

We paid and drove back to the hotel. Although Jeonghan was happy with what happened, Seungcheol looked serious? He always looks firm and serious. It's almost impossible to tell his emotions.

"Ling, could I talk to you for a second?" Wonwoo stopped me from going into my room.

"Sure," I smiled

"Alone." he said and looked at Dino and Seungkwan listening by the door.

"Oh, sorry, there was something wrong with the door." They both went into their room, leaving me and Wonwoo all alone in the hallway.

Is this how I die? Of embarrassment?

"I just wanted to thank you for helping Jeonghan with the waiter. His ex cheated on him a year ago, and it's been hard for him ever since." That's why Seungcheol tried to shut me down.

"I'm his friend now, semi friend. I'd do anything to help out a friend. They're both a good fit for each other, and they were so obliviously interested in each other." I looked him deep in the eyes. When did brown eyes become too majestic.

"And also," he stopped, "about what you said on the rollercoaster today." His smile faded

"Oh, that." My smile faded, "that was just, I don't know, to be honest, but let's just forget about it?" I indicated it as a question.

"Well, I just thought that maybe we could get to know each other better?" He offered

This is good, but I don't like taking advantage of him. I don't want to take advantage. That's not my thing.

"Wonwoo, I'd love to, but I can't. Our world is too different, I'm afraid." I declined

"But you were the one who said that if both people want it, then it'll work out for them, and you're saying you'd love too, then why can't we? If it's the distance, I don't mind." He's so sweet

"It's not the distance, I just think it's best if we don't give it too much hope. We're too different, and to not waste time, we should infact not get to know each other in any way." I said asserted

"If that's how you feel, I respect. However, you do not know of my world nor me," he defended himself.

"And I do not wish to know any more than what I know of now." I defended myself

I don't owe him anything.

"If that's how you feel, then I shall let you enjoy the rest of your night. Thank you for being honest, and I hope we're still cool." He turned around and left me all alone in the hallway.

"Of course, don't worry. No awkward feelings. We'll always be cool." I waved as he left.

I went to open my door when I heard footsteps. I could feel the presence behind me. I was nervous and in position until I heard a voice.

"Don't mind him," it was Seungcheol.

"Oh, it's just you," an exhale of relief escaped my lips.

"Did I scare you?" He asked

"No, but it was just a little alarming. It's late, and I'm all alone in a hotel hallway." I smiled

"Right, sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I'm not entirely sure of what happened there with Wonwoo. He's not usually like this." He informed me

"I kind of understood that," I let out a laugh.

"Well, you should go in and get a good night's rest. I heard you're going back to work tomorrow."

"Right, goodnight." I smiled and went into my room.
