The whole night Jisung is unable to sleep. His thoughts kept returning to the piece of paper he had read.

Someone likes him?

No, loves him?

Impossible. It had to be impossible and fake. He hated to think that maybe his friends purposely wrote that just to fool around with him...But yet, he felt that it was unlikely. Those were his friends, they wouldn't ever do something like that to him. That was also impossible to think about. His friends playing tricks on him. It'd be the worst and horrible joke they could ever do to him.

He hoped he was wrong. That it wasn't some sort of joke, and yet...he also hoped he was wrong about whatever was written on paper true.

It was hard to believe anyone could love him. Love. Not like, but love.

How was that even possible?

After hours of overthinking what had happened to him, Jisung began to list all of his friends that could've possibly written it.

Obviously, Felix and Seungmin were out of the list. They had partners who they loved very dearly, he knew that. Then, Enjoo? Was Hyunjin possible too? No, unlikely, he's always chasing after Enjoo...Which only came down to three people. Enjoo, Chan, and...Minho.

Lee Minho, could he have written it?

Jisung thought for a moment, his eagernessand anxiety shut off for just a quick minute. Before they return back because that'd be foolish to think. Lee Minho? The popular most definitely straightest friend he has? No...Jisung was two thousand percent sure that was the most impossible thing of all.

For a moment, he had hopes, excitement and thrill. But that pure feeling was out of the window the minute he realized who he was talking about.

Impossible, and foolish.

The following day, everyone is getting ready for the beach when Jisung decides to catch up with Enjoo. "Hey, Enjoo," Jisung begins, awkwardly.

Enjoo is surprised to see Jisung talking to her. "Oh! Hey!" she says, excited having a chance to talk to him as they rarely have much conversations together.

Jisung nervously clears his throat loudly in hopes to ease away his nerves. "Um...I-I was gonna ask...have you...have you um...ever felt...ever felt something towards me...?" Jisung very hesitantly and slowly asks her, embarrassed about having to ask her something she'll probably think is uncomfortable.

Or so, that's what he expected from her. But, Enjoo instead smiles brightly and shakes her head with a smile on her face. "Um, if you mean by having feelings for you that will be a no. Why? Do you...have feelings for me...?" she has a very sad expression when she says this, and Jisung is quick to shake his head.

"No! N-no...! I-I don't. I promise, we're just friends," he implies.

Enjoo's smile is back on. "Oh thank god~! I thought you were asking me to be your girlfriend or something..."

Jisung heaves out chuckles awkwardly. "Ha...No..." Does she even know he likes boys? Or, a boy?

Jisung swiftly begins another conversation with her, checking her out his list.

Jisung is being thrown into the water by a pair of strong grips. Minho and Changbin swing him into the water and Jisung is quick to react by the cold water, standing up and immediately chasing after the two. He splashes as much water onto their faces knowing how annoying it is.
