       My aunt said yes. She sounded really excited, which is confusing because she doesn't let my other cousins off to go places so easily. I guess it was important because it's the first time I've ever gone out of the house in about three years.

I still don't know the boy's name so I tug on his sleeve slightly and he turns his face to me, his eyes immediately going to my lips which are literally below his shoulder. He is so close to me because he bends his neck to look at me.

"Y-yes, sunshine?" He finally meets my eyes and they elongate when he smiles beautifully. "Sh-she said for me to be back by 9:30, but I have to call her every uh, 30 minutes." My voice is so nasty but his wonderful smile doesn't flicker. 

"Yay! We're going to have so much fun!" He grabs onto my hands with his mildly cold one and shakes them, squealing slightly. I wish I possessed his happiness. How does that feel?

With one swift movement, we're standing up together and he cackles before running out the doors, pulling me along with him, which should've broke his entire body in half. How can he put up with me?

Wait, where is this boy taking me?

The same van from the other day waits outside, for us, I believe. Haha, this isn't suspicious at all. Bring a girl into a van with other boys, probably. Let's pray before he opens the door.

It's the same boy with slightly blonde hair. The sides of his face glisten with sweat, as he finishes opening the door widely. When his lovely eyes land upon me, he grins brightly and it gives off a childish vibe. I mean, he looks like 5.

The boy pushes his face aside, playfully, and literally throws his butt onto the seat. "Hiiiiii!" The blonde boy squeals and pulls me into the van, his warm hand wrapping around my squishy arm and somehow steering my body right next to the boy.

It's incredibly cold inside the van, like you can hear the air conditioner on full blast or something. My confusion is led onto further internal questioning when the blonde boy shuts the door and I see the other boys seated behind us.

They were the ones who had been shouting my name the other day. Sweet God, why are they so beautiful? This van is like heaven or something. 

I blink a few times and open and shut my mouth a few times before curling my hands into fists at my sides. They give me lovely smiles and my mouth twitches with one, but it merely flickers. We speed off and all of us inside are moving around everywhere. Who is the driver?

"Hello!" The one with blonde hair screeches before everyone repeats him, a few seconds off. Why are they all so excited to meet me? Man, they must have to pretend that they want to. They shouldn't have to pretend that they like me. 

A deep voice from the driver's seat yells out, a little late, "Hi!"

Oh, my God.

I wave my hand slightly at them and find myself bowing my head at them. "Max, hi!" The one, with cheeks as chubby as mine, greets and waves his fingers at me, like a princess. They're all very welcoming. 

The boy next to me places his hand on mine and I internally scream, just like I always do whenever he touches me. This boy really likes touching, I'm guessing. I've never really liked touching but what's odd is that whenever he does, I don't feel discomfort like I usually do. 

"Max likes BTS!" He screeches at them and the one with chubby cheeks squirms around in his seat. "What else do you listen to?" The one with brown and blonde highlights asks and tilts his head around a few times as he just looks at me. He doesn't have an accent.

I'm not sure what to say as the others begin to spout more questions at me, and I feel like the inside of my head is vibrating. And crap, that's a headache. 

The boy next to me raises his hand and screams, "Yah!" I look up at him and nibble on my bottom lip nervously. I don't want these feelings to come at a time like this. Not now. 

He squeezes my hand slightly and I bring my bookbag closer to my chest, afraid if they'll see my chest rising and falling. I'm breathing hard. 

He starts speaking in Korean and I know this because they slightly sound like one of the songs I listen to. His voice is really nice and he's only talking. Oh, my God.

Their faces freeze and some of them have this unsettling expression on their faces, as if they're looking at me with pity. I move my eyes away from them and look down at my lap, before I notice that my legs are much wider than the boy beside me. 

Oh, my God, I'm so gross. I wish I didn't have this body. I wish I didn't have this mind. I wish I didn't exist. Why am I so annoying? Why am I even thinking like this?

"Sunshine," I hear and feel his hand on my shoulder. I take off my glasses and wipe them off quickly before slipping them on so I can look up at his beautiful face.

He tilts his head to the side. "Do you like ice cream?" He asks softly and then gives me that bright smile of his. My stomach no longer feels as if it's in my chest.

I look to the other boys, who are moving around and dancing even, as they're waiting for my answer. The one with the cheeks has this really cute grin on his face as he rubs his palms together. I guess he wants me to say 'yes'.

"Y-yeah, b-but I-I have m-m-money." My voice has trouble getting out of my throat so I look like I'm choking. The pretty one with long, red hair scoffs. "Honey, we all have money, but Seungcheol's still paying. Isn't that right?" He moves his eyes to the driver's seat and I see a head peek out from behind the seat. 

Wow, he's depressingly good looking, too. He gives me a nervous smiles before taking his lip in between his teeth and nodding. 

"Anyway!" The blonde boy screams out and jumps up. "Let's introduce ourselves!" 

And sadly, I realize that there's 6 of them. I just hope that they don't have more boys that they need me to introduce myself to...
