I rush towards his room and catch the attention of a male nurse.

"What's happening?" I ask and try to look inside of the room, but when a nurse sees me she shuts the curtains.

"He's having an episode, please stand back, miss." He says quickly.

"An episode?" I ask but it's too late, the nurse has already headed back into Wonpil's room.

I stand outside, nervous until I feel a hand on my shoulder. I jump and quickly turn around, seeing Wonwoo standing behind me concerned.

"What's wrong?" He asks and I point to Wonpil's room.

"My friend." I say, not explaining because I know Wonwoo doesn't know who Wonpil is.

"Who?" He frowns but when I'm about to reply, the crowd of nurses walk out of his room.

"Is he OK?" I ask.

"He's fine now but he's resting. You can see him in an hour or so."

"Okay, thank you." I bow, smiling.

"Do you want to get out of here? I'm sick of the sight of this hospital." Wonwoo chuckles and I nod.

"OK."

We decide to go to a cafe down the road. I sit on the chair opposite Wonwoo and sigh tiredly.

"Are you feeling okay? You look a little sick." Wonwoo asks, concerned.

"I'm just exhausted. I feel homesick too, I haven't seen my parents in days."

"I'll take you home, if you'd like." He suggests.

"You'd do that?" I ask, setting the cup of coffee down onto the table.

"Of course."

"Thank you." I smile.

After drinking our coffee, Wonwoo calls for a taxi and we head to my home. I haven't been back since we left for the road trip, and I've missed my parents dearly.

"Home sweet home." I smile happily once we reach Dino and I's house.

I burst through the door, shouting 'I'm home!' and I immediately hear my mum squeal excitedly from the kitchen. Wonwoo follows as I run towards her and hug her tightly.

"I missed you so much, mum." I say quietly and hug her impossibly tighter.

"You're back early, Areum, how is Hansol?"

"He's recovering well." I smile.

"That's excellent news."

"Where's dad?"

"He's working extra hours, sweetie."

"I need to get changed, I haven't changed in over a day." I say, wrinkling my nose.

"Alright. Wonwoo, you can stay here and tell me all about the road trip." My mum grins and I laugh, running upstairs.

I smile when I walk into my bedroom, seeing the familiar furniture I've weirdly missed so much. I change and stand in front of my mirror, seeing the photos stuck onto its edges.

I look at a photo of Vernon and I. We both look so young, it was from their debut days. It's a photo of us sat next to each other, him teaching me English in their practise room. I'm laughing and he's looking at me , grinning. We both look so happy. I'm so glad we're best friends again.

I hear my phone ringing and I pick it up, not looking at the ID.

"Hello?"

"Hey, star." I hear Joshua's voice and I immediately smile.

"What's up?"

"I was just wondering...do you want to go on a date later tonight?" He asks shyly and I smile wider, blushing.

"I'd love that."

"Great. I'll pick you up in an hour. Is that OK?"

"No, that's fine." I assure him and I can practically sense his grin through the phone.

"I'll see you later."

"Bye." I say and hang up the phone, squealing.

I'm going on a date!

"Mum!" I shout and run down the stairs, seeing my mum and Wonwoo sitting in the living room. "I'm going on a date!"

"Who with?" She asks and I glance at Wonwoo, wide eyed.

"You don't know him. He's from school."

"Oh okay, when?"

"In an hour. I need to get dressed. What am I going to wear?" I rush, panicking.

"I'm going to head back to the hospital," Wonwoo says and stands up, "I hope you enjoy your date, Areum."

"Thank you, Woowoo." I grin, using his nickname.

After a stressful hour of choosing and throwing away dresses, endlessly reapplying my makeup and curling my thick hair to perfection, I'm finally ready. I don't know where Joshua is taking me, I just hope I'm not overdressed.

"You look beautiful." My mum compliments me and I smile happily.

"Thank you."

I hear my phone beep and a car pull up outside, indicating Joshua is here.

"He's here. I'll be home by twelve." I say quickly and rush outside.

I climb into the car and check again that my mum didn't see Joshua. I turn to look at him and he's wearing a blue button up shirt and black trousers, his hair styled handsomely.

"Hey." I breathe, just staring at him with a grin on my face.

"You look wonderful, star."

"As do you." I laugh lightly as he begins to drive.

"Dino thinks you're at home and I'm in the studios, by the way." He laughs.

"I think we should tell him, you know..."

"He will literally kill me, star." He says seriously but I know my brother would never do such a thing.

"Don't be so pessimistic. I don't want to be a secret couple forever." I remind him.

"Neither do I, but we should at least wait until your 17th birthday."

"I can do that." I smile, knowing Dino and I's birthday is only in a months time.

"Here we are." Joshua says when we pull up outside of a posh-looking restaurant and I gasp.

"This looks beautiful! Are you sure you want to take me here? It looks really expensive-"

"Stop worrying, star. Of course I don't mind." He assures me and gets out of the car, quickly jogging around and opening the passenger seat door for me.

I thank him and as we're walking towards the restaurant, I see an unmissable crowd of paparazzi and I hear Joshua curse under his breath.

We immediately turn around but it's too late, they've already seen us and begin to rush towards us.

"Joshua, Areum, are you two dating?"

"Does Dino know about this?"

"How long have you been dating?"

"Isn't Areum too young, Joshua?"

We ignore the questions as we rush to the car and climb inside, quickly driving away.

Eventually, we reach an empty road and Joshua parks the car. It's silent until he looks at me, a simultaneously panicked and defeated expression on his face.

"We're screwed."
