Inseong's P.O.V.
A week has passed and Inseong is in his room, thinking about the day when he had encountered Youngja aboard the bus headed to the FNC Entertainment building.

Flashback

I ran to catch the bus headed towards the FNC Entertainment building. I had been running errands for Youngbin. You know, like getting the groceries and stuff. Apologizing to the bus driver for causing him to step on the brakes suddenly for having run in front of the bus, I suddenly flashed a stare at the back of the bus, noticing Youngja-ssi. "Youngja-ssi?" I stated, in a rather questioning tone. Shyly, she waved back at me.

With a nod, I approached her and held onto the grip beside her. Clearing my throat, I began, "I heard that Chani stayed the night at your place last night," As my voice trailed off, the bus's wheels screeched, and next thing I knew my face was only centimeters away from Youngja-ssi's. I finally let her out of my grasp, as I had prevented her from falling over. I could see her blushing, but I refused to say anything about it, out of fear that she may get uncomfortable with me. "Youngja-ssi," I stated, suddenly putting my arm around her shoulders.

"Y-Yes?" she stated in what would appear to be a questioning tone. "Wh-What is it?"

"Do you like me?"

"H-Huh? Wh-What made you think that?"

"Well, do you?"

"Umm... Well, what if I say 'yes'?"

Flashback end

Sighing, I lay there on my stomach and blew at my bangs. I caught myself thinking about Youngja-ssi again. What is wrong with me? I shouldn't look at her at a romantic way; she's like a younger sister to me. But, why is my heart beating so fast whenever I think about her?

"Hyung, are you alright?" asked Hwiyoung, who lay there on my roommate Ro Woon's bed. While I wondered where Ro Woon could possibly be, Hwiyoung repeated his question, "Hyung, are you alright?"

"H-Huh? Y-Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"

"You've been zoning out way too much lately. Is anything bothering you lately?"

"Hmm...? No, nothing's bothering me,"

"Are you sure? Is it about Youngja-ssi?"

"Hwiyoung, I don't know what I should do. After all, Chani and I like the same girl. All this time, I had thought that Youngja-ssi was nothing more like a sister to me, but now; I'm starting to think differently."

"So, you're saying that you really do like her and that you're worried that if you told her that you liked her, something might get in the way? And not only that, you're worried about your friendship with Chani?"

I could only nod back in response.

"I see," Hwiyoung stated, rubbing his chin. "If you really do like Youngja-ssi, then confess to her and see how things go, okay?" He said the last word in English, of which had caused me to laugh.

"Wh-What's so funny?" he asked of me, raising a brow.

"Oh, it's nothing," I stated back in response, stopping my laughter.

But, I still had no idea about what I should I really do. Should I just confess to Youngja-ssi and get things over with like Hwiyoung said?

I don't know, I guess I'll just wait it out for now.

Chani's P.O.V.
In Chani's room, Chani is having difficulty sleeping as he can't help but think about Youngja. He begins to feel bad about what he had said to Inseong a week earlier, but stays true to his word.

I stared blankly at the digital clock on my bedside table, unable to fall asleep as it seems as I couldn't help myself but think about Youngja-ssi. Day and night, I can't help but think about her. Is that strange? Or am I just a hopeless guy in love? Exhaling, I rolled on to my stomach and listened to the music flowing through my headphones. Humming along, I heard a voice say, "Yah, Kang Chanhee! Why aren't you asleep?! You know we have practice early tomorrow, right?" I could tell that the source of that voice was Taeyang hyung.

He rubbed his eyes, blanket over his head like a hood, and approached me in a rather sleepy fashion. He sat there upon my bed and tapped me gently on the arm. "Hey," he said. "Are you thinking about Youngja-ssi again?"

"Yeah, I mean... I can't help myself but think about her,"

In the dim light, I could see Taeyang give me a smirk. He continued, "You really do like her, huh?"

I could only nod in response.

"Well, no one's stopping you from liking her. So, if you and Inseong hyung both like her; I just hope that it doesn't get in the way of your guys's friendship,"

"I hope so too."

With a smile, Taeyang yawned and walked back to his bed and fell back into slumber. I sat up on my bed, letting my phone drop upon my chest, and I closed my eyes as I heard the music flow.

Just what am I supposed to do? Should I just give up on Youngja-ssi for the sake of my friendship with Inseong hyung? Or should I risk my friendship all for the sake of my liking her?
