Caught

First Person POV

I didn't know the time when I woke up but it was clearly in the middle of the night because of how dark it was. I don't even know why I woke up since I didn't have a bad dream or anything but I realized I felt quite thirsty.

I turned over to look at Sana and noticed she wasn't next to me anymore. Alarmed, I sat up and looked around the room but there were no signs of her. As I glanced at the door, I observed that it was slightly ajar and a blue light was coming from outside.

I got off the bed and rubbed my eyes as I made my way into the kitchen. This light was probably coming from the fridge's screen, but that meant someone must have just used it.

I stepped into the kitchen and saw the light highlighting two silhouettes, pressed up against each other with one pinned against the counter. They were in a heated and passionate make-out session and didn't seem to notice me. The light was quite faint, so I couldn't make out who it was.

I squinted my eyes as I stared at the one who was pinned against the counter. One moan. That's all it took to recognize Sana. Even though I've never heard her make such noises before, it took only one such noise in complete darkness to identify her.

The other girl was a bit easier to identify because of how pale her skin was and how much it was glowing in the dark, it was Dahyun. Since when did these two become a thing?! I've been a fan and I saw their shipping videos and all but I never thought it was real.

I almost let out a loud gasp and slapped my mouth close in order to prevent it from escaping and ultimately getting caught, but that was a stupid idea because the slap made an even louder sound. The two girls flinched upon hearing the sharp noise and broke the kiss. They turned to the direction from where the sound originated and made eye contact with me.

I just stood there, completely still, hand not covering my mouth anymore.

"Uh... W-We can e-explain!" Exclaimed Dahyun, desperation visible in her voice.

It was pretty obvious that I was visibly taken aback by this revelation but I had to act maturely. They did not have any reason to explain themselves since they hadn't done anything wrong, and even a fool would figure out that they were a thing, so there was no reason to ask either.

"There's nothing to explain, Dahyun. The two of you are in a relationship, right? I don't have any problem with that and it's none of my business. I promise I won't tell anyone. Sorry for interrupting." I said with a hint of guilt in my voice.

Sana just stood there, still, looking at me with an unreadable expression on her face.

Without saying anything further, I turned around and walked back into the bedroom, closing the door shut and laying down on the bed. For some reason, I felt somewhat sad. Is it because Sana is with someone else? Come on, no, that's stupid. She can be with whoever the hell she wants to be and it shouldn't affect me. But I really like her, like so much and I always have. She always stood out to me from among all the members. Though she has someone, and that's ok. I'm happy for her.

My eyes suddenly welled up with tears, I don't know why I felt so emotional. Did I really think I had a chance with her? Of course not. But it still hurts to see her with someone else... Gosh, I'm just being overdramatic, aren't I? I'm acting as if I've known her for so long and technically I have, although only as a fan, we only met each other properly today. I need to stop feeling this way, it's wrong. And it's game over if her or anyone else finds out.

As these thoughts ran through my head, I once again slowly drifted off to sleep.

Feeling the warmth of the morning sunlight caressing my face, my eyes fluttered open. I rubbed my eyes and yawned, looking at the white curtains flowing in the breeze and just how peaceful everything seemed. As I turned around, I was greeted with Sana's beautiful face. She was fast asleep yet she looked absolutely lovely.
