"Why are you two holding hands?" Haneul repeated.

Sunghoon slowly let go of the girl's hand as everyone stared down at them. Misuk smiled like nothing was happening but her heart was racing for some reason. She felt cornered.

"Why are both of you here?" she questioned, looking at her group's members.

Sunoo, who was scanning the situation from across the room, let out a loud scream once he realized what was going on. They were definitely together.

Misuk just looked at Sunghoon, who was already watching her attentively and she couldn't help but smile after noticing how the tip of his nose was colored red.

"Oh my god, you two!" Jenn yelled and ran towards Misuk. "Unnie, finally!"

Heeseung got close to Sunghoon just so he could whisper something to his ear, "I can't believe you finally did something, man."

Haneul felt like crying for some reason. She wasn't sure if it was because of the relief of not having to deal with carrying both of their secrets or the immense happiness of seeing them together. They deserved to be together.

The smell of food had the newly couple going crazy so they both headed towards a whole ass buffet waiting for them. That's what happens when you have 10 animals who eat like so in the same place.

"Please, someone do a rundown of what happened" Jungwon asked. He loves his gossip more than anything.

"He confessed outside of the club, very romantic."

"He did!?" Jake exclaimed. "There's no way."

Haneul softly smiled, "Well, it was about time."

"You knew?" Misuk questioned. "How come? Why didn't you tell me before?"

Sunghoon furrowed his eyebrows. "She knew about your feelings for me as well?"

Misuk just nodded in response.

"Damn, that must've been hard" Sunghoon patted Haneul's hand while she took a deep breath.

The group quickly changed the subject once they noticed the awkward vibe so the rest of the breakfast went by with lots of gossiping involved. Who did what at the party and who was with who. Very interesting stories.

The whole time Misuk and Sunghoon couldn't stop thinking about how insanely difficult it probably was for Haneul to be such a good friend and not interfere with the promises she made, even if she could fix the miscommunication with just one conversation. They felt awful for dumping their feelings on her.

"Do you wanna stay?" Sunghoon asked his girlfriend, giving her the bag she left behind yesterday. Everyone was already saying bye to each other.

"I need to talk with the girls" she replied, leaving a peck on his lips before heading out. "I'll call you later!"

Jenn and Haneul followed the American and the second they got inside the elevator, the cheers started. It was like a sugar rush.

"Why were you here!?"

"Why do you think?" Haneul playfully said and Misuk made a disgusted face. "You asked!"

Jenn pulled the leader's hair a bit. "Unnie, you are sick. By the way, I didn't do anything."

"Well, I did something..."

"Oh my god! Shut her up!" Misuk shouted, covering her ears.

The maknae starts fighting with Haneul while Misuk stared fondly at them. She was glad they were her members. They were the best friends a girl could ask for.

Misuk doesn't miss a chance to tell a more detailed story of what went down last night and how exactly Sunghoon and her decided to start dating, leaving the other two completely amazed. They thought this was never going to happen.

"Did you tell him about the times you sneaked in during competitions?" Haneul asked, opening the door to the dorm for the girls to come in.

Misuk pouted, "Do I have to do?"

"I think it's cute" Jenn added. "Borderline stalking but cute."

"I was a teenager with a crush, okay!?"

The three girls laugh it off and started doing their own things. Haneul was cleaning the place, Jenn was showering and Misuk was walking around her room, trying to decide when was the perfect time to call Sunghoon.

She missed him already but she didn't want to send him the message that she was needy. she couldn't do that yet, it was their first day together.

She was dying to hear his voice again though. His cute little giggles and baby talk.

Oh, fuck it.

Misuk took her phone out of the bag, plug it to the charger and waited patiently for it to turn on. Too many notifications appeared as her lockscreen is shown but she ignores it all and goes straight to Sunghoon's contact information to call him.

"Mimi! Did you get home fine?" he cheerfully answered.

He was waiting for her call.

Misuk lays back on her bed and closes her eyes before answering. "Yeah, everything is great."

Sunghoon smiled. "I'm glad to hear that."

"Doesn't this feel crazy to you?" she asked giggling. "We are idiots."

"I don't think I've processed what happened."

"Me neither" Misuk muttered. "Do you want to know something funny I used to do in the good old days?"

Sunghoon knew she was smirking at that exact same moment. "Oh god, hold the wheel."

"Me and Jiwon sneaked in to a few of your figure skating competitions."

He started laughing, shaking his head in disbelief, as if Misuk could see him. "There's no way."

"Even to some practices" she remarked. "I was kinda crazy for you."

"Was?" he inquired. "That one hurt."

"Oh, shut up."

The two went on and on as they both told stories that involved the other and the things they did while being secretly in love for such a long time. Their relationship didn't feel any different at the end. Their love was already written in the stars, they were just unaware.
