~Chewy's POV~

I was slow dancing with Gyutae to upbeat party music. We liked to do that when we were together. We would hold each other and sway to the imaginary slow song that was playing in our heads. As I rested my head on his shoulder, I noticed Pop and A.D kiss and I looked away just to see Gohn and Zeke sitting together, Zeke's arm around Gohn. I smiled at the couples but then noticed my brother playing games with Hanwoo, Soeun, and Changbin, the latters obviously flirting with each other. I couldn't help but sigh as I saw Barae look down after noticing their flirting incident.

"What's wrong, babe?" Gyutae said, pulling me from his embrace.

I looked up at him. "How is it that Barae has been in Royal Colors since 2018, five years, and still hasn't found anyone? He's only promoted in one group; he's had a lot of free time. How has he not found a girlfriend yet?"

Gyutae sighed and rubbed my shoulders in comfort. "Maybe he's just not interested in dating."

"I doubt that." I shook my head. "I'm just worried about him. He's so awkward and he has trouble with people but his RC friends bring out the best in him; how come a girl can't realize how special he is?"

"It'll happen, don't worry. Most of our members aren't in relationships."

"Yeah, but almost everyone has someone they're bound to date. All the members that have been around a while are all flirting with someone."

"Daehyun isn't."

I glared at Gyutae. "Daehyun is barely an adult. It's been okay for him to not date. Barae on the other hand-"

"Yeojin." Gyutae grabbed my shoulders and squeezed them. He also used my real name which he only does when he's serious or passionate about something. "You're stressing too much about it. If you're so worried, just talk to him. He's your younger brother, he'll understand why you're concerned."

I took a deep breath, realizing Gyutae was right. "Okay, I'll go talk to him."

"Wait," Gyutae shook his head, his eyes wide. "I didn't mean right now."

"Why not right now?" I shrugged.

He rolled his shoulder. "I guess nothing."

I nodded in determination and made my way over to Barae and our other members.

"Hey guys, can I steal my brother for a second?" I asked my members, my fingers pinching my brother's shirt prepared to take him away.

"Of course noona." Hanwoo nodded.

"Thanks." I said and pulled my brother away.

"What's up, noona?" Barae asked.

"You enjoying our birthday party?" I asked him while I started walking, hopefully to make it a casual stroll.

"Yeah..." He had a suspicious infliction in his voice. "Noona, what are you doing?"

"Just taking a walk with my brother, catching up." I replied.

"Noona," He stopped us by grabbing my arm to stop me from walking. "We can't exactly take a walk in a filled practice room. There's something you want to say to me, I can tell. Just say it."
