"Can you fix it for me?" his voice was soft, I could honestly fall asleep everyday listening to his voice.

"Why don't I fix it for you when we get to the restaurant," I replied as I grabbed his hand to catch up to everybody else.

As we walked behind Jake and Zoe, Sunghoon wiggled his hand out of my grip. I realized I've been holding onto it this whole time.

I retreated my hands to the jacket pocket, stuffing them to warm them up. Sunghoon grabbed the hem of the sleeve as he pulled my hand out of the pocket.

I looked up at his face, wondering why he was doing that. Though I didn't need to question for long, Sunghoon's hand slipped into mine, locking our fingers together.

This guy was making me feel butterflies, shit I'm getting butterflies. HELL NAH.

"Your hands are cold," Sunghoon said as he pulled me closer to him.

I pulled my left hand out of my pocket, touching my hand. Geez my hand was freezing, I didn't realize it.

"Shit, it is," I said as I stuffed my left hand back in my pocket.

Sunghoon smiled at me as he stuffed out intertwined hands into his jacket pocket. Now it felt like I had a fucking zoo in my stomache.

It felt nice and warm, bringing me comfort.

We walked like that the rest of the way to the restaurant.

7:14 pm

The restaurant was filled with the smell of fried chicken, and honestly it made me realize how hungry I was.

The waiter led us to a table, all of us taking our seats as Jihyun grabbed the menu from the waiter. He was baffled, probably never met anyone who snatched the menu out of his hands. He was pretty tall, looked around our age, maybe older?

He gave us two more menus as he left us to let us decide.

"Damn you snatched that menu so fast, he looked flabbergasted," I said as I laughed.

"I'm starving, I need something down my throat," Jihyun said as she was thoroughly reading the menu.

"Woah, repeat that," Sunghoon said.

"I'm starving and I need something down my throat?" Jihyun repeated the exact words as she side eyed Sunghoon.

"You need something down your throat?" I said as I suspiciously looked at her.

She rolled her eyes the moment she realized what she said. The others bursted into laughter as she threw her hands up in defeat.

"Can yall get your shit together, I'm starving, you can laugh all you want after we order," Jihyun said as she swung the menu in the air. Hangry Jihyun was a sight to see.

"Why, you desperate to have something down your throat?" Mia chimed in, making me laugh harder.

Jihyun gave up as she bursted into laughter as well. We probably looked like we collectively escaped a mental hospital or something.

We calmed down in a few minutes, I wiped tears off my eyes, I laughed way too hard.

Jihyun quickly called for the waiter, not waiting another second before she started ordering food. He frantically started writing it down, Jihyun speaking too fast for him to catch everything.

"Are you cold?" Sunghoon was seated on the left side of me, looking at me with soft eyes. He looked like a cute puppy.

I shook my head gently, this place was pretty warm and I had his jersey jacket so it wasn't freezing.

Sunghoon scooted his chair closer to mine and I could smell the familiar cologne of his. I don't know since when, but smelling his cologne would bring me comfort.

I looked up at him, his hair still falling onto his face messily.

"Fix my hair," he said, pouting a bit as he leaned in. How could someone look this good effortlessly?

I lifted my hands to his hair, softly placing strands of hair in their places. He stood still under my touches, letting me do my job. His hair was soft and comforting to run my hands through.

"Can yall not be so lovey dovey in front of these poor single souls?" Mia said as she pointed at the said "poor single souls".

Sunghoon chuckled and I just glared at her, retreating my hands after completing my job.

"I'm single too, you know," I said as I gently pushed her. She dramatically swung her body back and forth, acting as if I had pushed her harshly.

"Single my ass," Mia said as she dramatically rolled her eyes at me, snapping her head to look at me up and down.

"At this rate yall are dating," Jihyun said as she impatiently looked over at the kitchen, waiting for her food.

"Gotta say, never seen Sunghoon be this nice to someone before," Jake said as he looked at Sunghoon amusingly.

"Oh shut up," Sunghoon said as he rolled up tissue to throw at him. Though it was too light to fly all the way to Jake.

"Here's the plain fried chicken, and here are the spicy ones," the same waiter said as he placed the food onto the table. Jihyun didn't waste a second and started digging into the chicken.

We all followed, thanking Jake before stuffing our faces with the chicken.

The rest of the meal was just us eating and joking around, laughing till we cried or choked on our food. Zoe and Jake seemed to grow closer.
