"Hyuck can you pass the salt?" Mark asked, sipping on his water as the group gathered in their common room to eat a simple dinner that Jaemin had cooked for them

"Get it yourself" Haechan replied bluntly

"The fuck dude?" Mark scoffed, rolling his eyes and nothing thinking too much about it before reaching for it himself

"Don't mind him. He's just pissy because he met Eunbi yesterday" Chenle stated from the couch, sunglasses on even though they were inside and it was pitch black outside as he browsed through netflix movies

"You saw Eunbi? Why didn't you tell me?" Mark asked and Haechan kept his eyes lowered to his food

"Who's Eunbi" Arin perked up, looking at the boys to see the reason for such a dull reaction

"She was our senior—"

"She's nobody." Haechan quickly cut Chenle off and she looked towards him, seeing him avoid her eyes

"Oh...I see you guys aren't that close yet" Chenle chuckled from the couch and Arin rolled her eyes

"Is Eunbi the girl from the supermarket?" Arin asked, nudging him and he stood up abruptly with irritation laced on his face, ignoring Jaemin's calls to come back to the table before leaving the common room

"I guess its a touchy subject" Arin said, raising her eyebrows with slight shock and Jisung nodded, urging her to not talk about it any further. She listened to Mark change the topic onto something else quickly, racing to finish her food before the others to avoid cleaning up the table.

She opened her dorm door to see Haechan folding laundry on his bed, packing it into a duffel bag. Arin narrowed her eyes at him and closed the door loud enough to get his attention. He turned his head to graze his eyes over her before turning back to the mundane tasks. She let out a sigh and approached her bed, throwing herself on top before turning back to watch his figure moved around.

"Damn Hyuck, thought you kept your enemies close. Why dont you want to tell me about this Eunbi?" She asked with a chuckle, throwing one of her plushies at him

"Because its none of your business" Haechan retorted, squeezing his eyes shut tight before picking up the plushie and tossing it back over to her

"Well apparently I'm your girlfriend so it is my business" she teased, throwing it again and making sure it hit the back of his head this time

"Arin seriously, just fuck off!" Haechan snapped, turning around and throwing the plushie back with a lot more force than the first time. The plushie aiming straight towards her face made Arin flinch, immediately hitting the wall behind her with her head. Haechan's eyes widened the second he heard her painful groan, all thoughts of irritation leaving his head as he was more concerned to her wellbeing

"Fuck! Are you okay?!" He exclaimed, hurrying towards her and she hissed, moving further away from him as she rubbed the sore s pot on her head

"Im so sorry, I didn't think you would hit your head" Haechan sighed, eyes dropping by the sides immediately as his shoulders slumped in guilt, sitting down on her bed infront of her

"Its fine" she muttered, slapping his reaching hands away

"Here, just let me help" he hissed, ignoring her piercing eyes before reaching out to feel the spot where she hit her head

"Ow fuck! Are you trying to call a fucking genie?!" She groaned as he rubbed against her head to help with the pain but only making it worse. His eyes widened and met hers, both staring at each other with barely any thoughts in their head before bursting out into a laugh at each other's expressions.

"Stop looking at me like that" Arin said, dragging her eyes away from his as she smiled down at her, his hands still gripping the sides of her head

"Like what?" Haechan asked with a taken back chuckle, shaking her head playfully making her groan. She looked back up at him and narrowed her eyes making him roll his.

"What? I can't even look at you?" He asked with a chuckle and she sighed, reaching her arms out to hold his head as well

"What's wrong with me looking at you? You're pretty when you smile" Haechan said honestly with a shrug, eyes looking at her with hearts in them almost.

"Don't say stuff like that either" she whined with a laugh, shaking his head this time to hide the blush staining on her cheeks

"We're not friends remember?" She asked, cocking a brow up at him with a smirk and he smiled, blinking slowly before looking into her eyes again, feeling a magnetic pull stronger than ever between them

"Good." He said, making her smirk falter a little

"I don't look at my friends like that." He said, and while the statement made her stomach do backflips, it was the genuine tone of his voice that made her even more nervous under his gaze

"...what are you..." she trailed off, taking her hands away from the sides of his head, bringing it back down to her sides. He bit the inside of his lower lip before his eyes flickered down towards her plump pink ones, and she caught it before he could even deny it.

His adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed nothing, pulling her face closer towards his before smashing his lips against hers making her squeal off guard. Her eyes widened before closing slowly, allowing herself to melt into the unforeseen kiss, letting him have control. Getting a kiss from Haechan randomly without having to initiate a sexual encounter was something out of the ordinary, yet it felt so comforting she had no other option but to oblige.

He pulled back quickly before she could even savour the taste of his lips, blinking quickly as his mind raced with guilt, asking him how he could've done such a thing with his best friend's ex. He's done much worse, but a sudden kiss solely based on attraction was far more of a betrayal than the meaningless and rushed sex.

"Did you just ki—" her statement was cut off with a loud bang from the common room, causing them both to flinch and pull away from each other. They didn't spare each other another glance before getting up to their feet to check what the noise was.

"Sorry" Jisung smiled sheepishly, stopping another cymbal that was rolling on the ground away from him

"You ordered a drum set?" Arin asked, looking at him sitting beside a big sheet of paper while the carcass of an unfinished drum set sat infront of him

"Yeah but the instructions are so weird" Jisung muttered

"Here uh...let me help" Haechan said quickly, clearing his throat to approach the boy and Arin bit her lower lip, turning back around to the hallway to enter her dorm.

Her eyes scanned her bed with her plushie lying innocently on her messed up sheets. A blush quickly creeped up to her cheeks making her giggle out of the blue. She widened her eyes and furrowed her brows at her own reaction

"Jesus Arin, have you gone crazy?" She asked herself, shaking her head before digging herself into the covers, but she would be lying if she said she didn't spend the rest of the time waiting up for him to return by thinking about the kiss over and over again.
