I woke up a little too early today. I thought it was my phone's alarm but instead it's something far better.

A text.

From Park Jihoon.

I really missed him. So much.

I quickly opened my phone and checked it. It's been a while since he actually replied my message, due to the restrictions there. I smiled widely, as I tapped the message.

Jihoonie ❤️ : wake up u lazyhead!!!!

I quickly replied.

(yn) : i'm up tho 😉

Jihoon read in an instant and replied back. It's been a while since we actually had an actual chat. And I'm super happy right now.

Jihoonie ❤️ : impossible!! unless if u really miss me that much? ❤️😉

(yn) : what if i do? 😜

Jihoonie ❤️ : good then. cuz i missed u moreee ❤️❤️❤️

I grinned. He could be really cheesy sometimes.

(yn) : then come here asap :'((

Jihoonie ❤️ : okay princess! see u in a while 😉

Princess. The word sent butterflies flying in my stomach. I screamed internally from happiness, as I turned off my phone, and went back to sleep again with bliss.

I woke up again several hours later, and prepared myself for the day. I choose a simple dress since it's off practice today, and applied some light makeup.

At last, it's time to meet Jihoon. I missed him so much.

"Come on, let's go!" Mina shouted, as she opened the door, looking prepared too.

I swiftly took all my belongings and headed to the door too.

"Where's Joo Woon?" I asked, while walking with Mina out of the dorms. She didn't answer because she's too focused on pouting from a text in her phone.

"Mina?" I asked again.

"Oh, yeah! Joo Woon said he'll be at the training center. And apparently Jihoon is already there too." She answered and sighed. "I should've worn something more casual. I seriously think we're going out after a week full of classes!" She continued complaining.

I only smiled even at the thought of seeing Jihoon again. It's like he's very far away from us now. Well, maybe he really is now.

"Hey, at least we got to meet the celeb now." I joked and she rolled her eyes and smiled back.

We went inside the building and searched for the class. After a while, we found Joo Woon in one of the empty classes, which is now talking to Jihoon.

My eyes met Jihoon's from through the glass walls of the class. He instantly flashed his signature smile, which delivered those fluttering feelings down my body.

He looks too damn good. The show surely made him even better.

We did not stop our eye contact, even until I and Mina had entered the room.

"Hi, you both." I greeted, and Mina did as well.

"(yn)." Jihoon said softly, as his gaze getting more intense on me. It was sending me shivers down my spine, and I couldn't escape from it.

"Ahem." Both Joo Woon and Mina coughed. I directly averted my gaze and blushed so hard.

"Are you going to keep staring at her?" Joo Woon raised an eyebrow at Jihoon.

"Oh, I could look at her all day. She looks so beautiful." Jihoon said, and I could literally feel Jihoon smirking to my overly tomatoed cheeks.

Joo Woon nudged him playfully. "Way to go man!"  And we all laughed together.

We talked and joked for a few minutes together, and we learned that the show was really demanding and sometimes very subjective. The contestants should be working extra hard there and sometimes still got little screen time.

After quiet a while, Mina and Joo Woon gave me some time to have some private time to talk with Jihoon.

I observed at Jihoon. He's wearing a long black T-shirt, with his brown hair unstyled today. And he's looking really tired somehow.

"How's things for you, oppa? Are things going good there?" I asked and he only pat my shoulders in reply.

"Don't worry about me too much. After all, I'm too cute for them to resist." He winked and do his signature agyeos that made me laugh.

"No, you don't look cute to me." I denied, though he does really look cute and handsome at the same time.

"Of course. I'm not cute, because I must be handsome and sexy to you." And he smiled.

He actually looks too handsome and sexy, to the point that my hormones almost explode.

I erupted a laugh. I really loved his sassy side. And anytime with him would be fun and enjoyable.

"Ah, I really missed you, Park Jihoon-oppa." I sighed loudly.

"So at last you admit that you actually missed me?" He asked me with a smug look on his face.

"Fine, I do." I raised my hand in defeat.

He ruffled my hair, and suddenly pulled me into a hug. My eyes only widened in shock. I know we always do things like this but this time it sent me shivers. The good one.

"I really miss you too, baby boo." He whispered and hugged me tightly. I hugged him back as tight also.

I'm too comfortable with him, and soon it would only be a bad thing to feel this way.

But I love him too much. And the sad part is, we'll only stuck being bestfriends.

"I love you, Park Jihoon." I suddenly said, out of nowhere. I only mentally slapped myself for being stupid, but at the same time, we always say this kind of things all the times. But in the friendly meaning.

"I love you more, (yn). You know that you'll always be my bestfriend, don't you?" He chuckled.

"Ne." I replied and pulled back.

And the sad part is, he won't ever recognize how much I've fallen for him.
