It would be her second appearance in a drama. However, this time, it's a bit different as she's playing as the second female lead whose character fell in love with the male lead but ended up not getting him. The drama has been a huge hit even before its release when it was announced to the public that Lily is going to be starring the drama.

Her debut acting has been a success that causes many directors to contact her manager just to get her in their dramas with the hope of making it successful but due to her busy schedule, she had to decline most of it and only chose one drama that really caught her eyes. She spent days and nights, whenever she had free time to memorize the script, not wanting to mess up at all.

Just like right now, she's laying at the edge of her bed with her head upside down as she reads through the script while some music is playing in the background. Since she finally has a room to herself, she can do whatever she wants without bothering anyone. Besides, her room is soundproof, something she had wanted since they moved out of their old dorm.

While she is reading through the script, a knock was heard on the door and she hummed. Before she could even say anything, the door opened, revealing Heeseung.

"Baby? Why are you still awake at 2 in the morning?" He closed the door and went to lay beside Lily before pulling her close to him so that her head is trapped between his chest and his arms holding her close. "Oppa~" She whined in annoyance, wanting to memorize more of the script. Heeseung just chuckled lowly as he gently ruffles Lily's hair. "You've worked too hard, take a breather, baby ah. I'm worried you're going to fall ill again."

Lily gently pries Heeseung's arms off of her just to look at him straight in the eyes. "I know my limit now so you can stop worrying. Besides," she huffed and laid back on the bed, her head resting nicely on the elder's arm, "I don't want to disappoint people. People anticipated this drama because of me. I don't want to be a laughing stock."

Heeseung hummed and patted Lily's head gently, a gesture that Lily grew to love. "There's nothing to get so worried over, Lily. You're just overthinking and you know that." Lily pouted and placed the script down before letting herself get closer to Heeseung and engulfing him into a hug before closing her eyes and going to sleep. The eldest grinned happily and turned off the lights in the room using the remote.

"Nightey, my princess."

After lots of sleepless nights and busy days due to the shooting of the drama, it finally is settled and now all of them is sitting in the living room to watch the drama together. Watching the drama has been their routine every Monday and Tuesday. Currently, they are on their 8th episode and for some weird reason, Lily looks like she's on the edge that night.

Sunoo noticed it. "Sunshine? Are you okay? You looked like you're about to pass out." Lily looked at Sunoo with an awkward smile, "it's nothing, I'm just really nervous. I think I'll pass watching tonight's episode." She stood up to leave but Sunghoon stopped her by holding her wrist. "Why are you acting so suspicious?"

"Suspicious? I'm not?" She tried playing it cool but the members all started to feel suspicious of her so she sat back down and let out a loud sigh. The episode is playing in the background where her co-actors are doing their part.

Drama:

Lily is a daughter of a famous businessman and her name is Eun Seolhee. And she has this huge crush on her childhood best friend, Cha Ryujin who is played by Park Solomon. Seolhee and Ryujin had a little bit of a quarrel in the last episode which caused Seolhee to get out of the car in the middle of the rain to run away from him out of anger. Ryujin huffed in disbelief and parked his car to the side before he too got out of his car to chase after Seolhee.

The rain is heavy and it's drenching both of them, especially Seolhee who's wearing a dress. "Eun Seolhee! Stop running away! You'll get sick, idiot!" She stopped running to turn back so that she's facing him. Even though the rain wets her face, he could clearly make out the red eyes she had from crying. Even with all the makeup, her pain is so visible to him, which caused him to approach her slowly and this time she doesn't back away.

"If you're going to just humiliate me even more here, it's best for you to leave. I can't do this anymore," she begs as she cries harder. He steps closer until he is close enough to pull her into a hug while she wails. To have the man you love holds you is something that Seolhee had always dreamt of but this is different. This is the guy who lets another girl talk bad about Seolhee without even defending her.

The thing is, Ryujin was so mad at the girl who talked shit about Seolhee and was about to confront her when Seolhee ran away after eavesdropping on their conversation. That's how they ended up like this. "I feel like a loser for even thinking you would defend me if that situation ever arise. I hate you, Ryujin! I hate you so much!"

She pulled back just to hit him straight in the chest for a few times, "I hate myself even more for loving you when I know we could never be anything more than friends," before he pulled her by the face and planted a soft kiss on her lips. At the moment, all her anger disappeared and was replaced by a melancholy feeling.

End of drama POV.

So this is why Lily was so nervous about it. "There is a kiss scene?" Jake gasped as he looked at Lily in surprise. "Yeah...." Her voice is so slow that it's almost inaudible. The members were obviously shocked, especially knowing it's her very first official kiss and it's with someone she doesn't even like romantically. "It's such a shame!" Sunghoon shouted out, shocking everyone.

"You're supposed to have your first kiss with the person you truly love. Not for a drama. Lily, you've lost one of the best feelings in your life," whined Sunghoon who felt pity for the girl. Instead of feeling guilty, Lily felt a little bit offended now. "What do you mean? You making it out to be so mad. It's just a kiss. So what if my first kiss is not with someone I like romantically? It doesn't mean that much. It's just," the feeling started to sink in, "a kiss."

She stood up and hit the couch in the process. Her eyebrows are furrowed together while the others looked at her with utmost amusement. Some of them even had a playful grin on their faces. "You guys are mean! Hmph!"

With that, she stormed off into her room while Sunghoon smirked in victory. He only said that to tease the girl and it's clearly working. "That's kinda mean tho but her sulky face is cute sooo..." Jay adds on. He's usually not one to make Lily sulk but seeing her pouting once in a while sure is cute. While the other members are pondering on how cute Lily is sulking, one of them is stunned to know that is Lily's first kiss.

"I don't think that was her first kiss."

This gained everyone's attention. "What do you mean by that, Jungwon?" Sunoo looked at the leader in confusion, just like the others are. "I think, I am her first kiss."

"WHAT?!!"
