I stepped out of the shower and heard my phone beeping. I checked and it was a text from JB.

Unknown

"I had a great weekend, thanks for the good memories – JB"

I opened my eyes widely as I left my phone back on the bed and stood there in the middle of my room, with a towel wrapped around my body, dripping water on the carpet from my wet hair. I sat on the bed and thought about last night. It was chaotic but I admit I couldn't help but smile at the thought of spending it with JB. A few weeks ago I'd have hated being again with him trapped in a place like it happened to us yesterday, but now the feeling is different.

I grabbed the phone and saved his number to texted him back.

To: JB

"Thanks to you for inviting me, I truly had a great time." 

I hit send and went to grab some clothes to wear. I had the rest of Sunday free so I decided to bake some cookies.

I heard someone knocking at my door, I opened to find Yugyeom standing there looking nervous."Can I come in?" He was moving slightly his legs around, I could see he was uneasy. I stepped aside to let him in and closed the door after he walked to my living room. I followed him, he turned around to face me.

What could possibly he would like to talk to me? What is he doing here? I thought he hated me.

"Manager-nim was talking to JB in the dorm, I heard what happened. Are you okay?" He asked.

I froze in my spot. Does he knows I had a weekend trip with JB?

I cleared my throat. "I – I am fine, sure." I said nodding. He looked at me and blinked a couple of times, his eyes looked a bit glassy.

"It was nothing... Really, I am fine." I reassured him. He sighed heavily and looked down to the floor. I could see the disappointment all over his face.

"So you and JB..." He started shaking his head slightly. "No. Yugyeom is not like that – " I started but he looked at me with sadness on his face.

"You don't need to give me any explanations Hazel. I get it." His voice sounded hurt. I felt my heart breaking in thousands of pieces.

"There's nothing going on between JB and I, we're friends-

"What happened back there Hazel?" His voice was sweet but he was definitely serious about the question.

"JB looks different... Something must have happened." He insisted as he took a step closer to me. I didn't want to hurt him but lying to him is not the solution.

"JB confessed to me." My voice was barely audible. Yugyeom stood straight and swallowed hard.

"Did he kiss you?" He asked looking straight into my eyes. I froze as my heart was pumping blood faster than ever. I can't keep lying to him... I've done it more than once before and I always end up feeling worse.

I looked down and he understood my answer. He nodded a couple of times and breathed out.

"How do you feel about it?" His eyes looked a bit expectant, he bit his lip. I shrugged.
