Y/N got back home after her little 'hangout' with Yunho, only to find her dad at the door, a disappointed look on his face. He let her in quietly, slamming the door loudly which made her jump.

"Huh?" She gasped.

"Where were you?" Her dad questioned.

"I was at the convenience store, I texted you." She half-lied.

"Sure yeah, and who was with you?" He put an emphasis of his question.

 Y/N gulped loudly and answered hesitantly, "No one."

Her dad then pulls out his phone and shows a photo that made her heart drop. It was a photo of her and Yunho at the park, holding each other's hands at the tree and leaning onto each other's shoulder.

"You have 5 minutes to explain this photo." He said calmly.

"Well, uhh.." She started, unsure of how to begin, "Um.."

"Well?" A snarky voice replied, Miae.

"Oh, shut up." Y/N barked back.

"Don't talk to her like that, she's your little sister." Her dad defended, "Answer the question."

"He's just a friend, we were just hanging out." Y/N mumbled.

"So my daughter's a player now," He replied, mostly to himself.

"Huh?"

"Look Y/N, I don't mind you dating, but you can't be cheating on your boyfriend. You disappointed me." He lectured.

"What? No, I'm not with-"

"I didn't raise a cheater, to your room." Her dad pointed to the direction of her room.

"But-" She tried to protest.

"No buts, your room."

Y/N went to her room grumpily, the floor thumping at each step. She was careful not to slam he door, which would get her in more trouble. Anger bubbled in her blood as she plopped down onto her bed. She didn't even do anything to get into trouble, she wasn't with Wooyoung anymore and she isn't even dating Yunho.

Not yet.

Y/N pulled out her phone to see two notification from Yunho, opening it to reveal the messages:

YH: "Hey I was wondering if we could hang out again later?" - 6:40 PM

YH: "It was really nice to hang out with you today" - 6:40 PM

She smiled at his request, replying with a 'sure <3'. Her phone buzzed almost immediately after she sent her message.

YH: "Do you wanna chat for a bit? I'm bored" - 6:41 PM

Y/N: "yea i'm also bored asf" - 6:41 PM

They then start chatting about the most random things, from their plans to meet up the next weekend to the school's hottest gossip about a new couple in their year. Minutes then hours passed as their conversation became longer and deeper, both of them grinning like idiots as they continued to talk.

After a while, they switched to a facetime. They talked for hours as Y/N was getting ready for bed and Yunho was cramming for the English finals coming up. Both of them eventually stopped what they were doing and focused on each other, their words music to their ears. Midnight passed when they then started to close off the call.

Butterflies erupted in her stomach as she looked through her phone, eyeing the messages between her and Yunho. She had never felt this way before. All the times she spent with Wooyoung could not compare to the simple interaction she just had, Wooyoung never made her feel butterflies or make her heart beat crazy. They were both just two toys, using each other for their own reputation, occasionally having a moment of love every blue moon. 

A soft knock came from just outside Y/N's room, followed by the sweet voice of her mother on the other side of the door.

"Sweetie, can I come in?" She asked.

Y/N got up and opened the door, the serotonin still present on her face. Her mother chuckled and sat down on her bed, patting the spot next to her, signalling to Y/N to sit down as well. She sat down next to her mother, already knowing she's going to receive a lecture.

"Well, you have something to explain, don't you?" Her mother smiled, "I won't get mad, I promise."

Y/N sighed and explained, "We're just friends, mom. Plus, I'm not with Wooyoung anymore. I'm not dating a criminal."

Her mother smiled weakly, "Yeah, I've heard the news." She put a hand on Y/N's shoulder, "But.. Are you sure that guy is just a friend?"

"Mom.." Y/N plopped back down on the bed, covering her face in embarrassment, "Not now."

"I'm just kidding," Her mother chuckled, "But, who were you calling?"

"You heard that?" Y/N sat straight back up.

"Yeah, you were giggling and all that-"

"MOM!" Y/N shouted, clearly flustered.

"Okay, okay I'll stop." Hey mother smiled, "Go get some sleep, your finals are tomorrow."

"Fine, but get out." She pouted and pointed to the room's door.

As her mother left her room, she sighed and punched a pillow in frustration. Her mother heard her talking with Yunho, practically gushing with him. She buried herself in the bed to try to get some sleep, taking her mind off of today's events.

Her eyes then bolt right awake as she remembers her mother's words. Shit. The finals. Y/N got up to her desk and opened her laptop, revising material for the exams tomorrow. She tried to memorize every word on the screen, but it went away as soon as she looked past it. She gave up trying to study by herself and called Yunho again, figuring since that he's smart, he could help her. Yunho picked up right away and answered with a sleepy voice.

"Yeah?" Y/N felt bad for waking him up.

"Sorry, but I was wondering if you could help me study for the exams? I'm stuck."

Yunho cleared his throat over the phone and answered, "Yeah sure, I'll help."

"Thank you."

Yunho then opened up his notes and started to explain them to Y/N over the phone, making sure that she understands each chapter. She could feel herself slowly but surely starting to understand the material. After confirming with Yunho that she understands now and that he can go back to sleep, the call ended and Yunho went back to bed.

It wasn't until a couple minutes later that his phone rang again, this time it was San. Yunho opened the message in surprise and read the message:

SN: "go to the training center after the exams, we have a match in 2 weeks." - 11:45 PM

Yunho's eyes widened slightly in surprise.

YH: "Match?" - 11:46 PM

SN: "yea we're competing with junior national boxers." - 11:46 PM

SN: "we're so done for." - 11:47 PM
