"Damn it. Damn it. Damn it...", I groaned as paced back and forth.

I was in my room, regretting what I just did. I tried calling my best friend but she wasn't answering. I changed back into my clothes and grabbed my car keys to drive to her house.

"Susan! Open up!", I knocked frantically at her door.

After minutes of knocking, she finally opened up. She was in her pjs still, not surprised since she sleeps half the day. She scratched her head as she let out a huge yawn.

"What is up with you? Why are you here so early?", she asked, yawning once more.

"It's 2 in the afternoon. Anyways, I need to talk to you. It's urgent", I said.

"Alright, come in", she said.

She told me to sit on the couch but I couldn't due to my nerves acting up.

"What's up?", she asked.

"Okay. So I bought this really cute bikini at the store and I really wanted to show you so I took a picture and wanted to send it to you but my phone was acting stupid and sent it to Joshua", I said.

"And? It's just a bikini. He'll realize you sent it to the wrong person. End of story", she said.

"You don't get it. I was wearing the bikini. I wanted to know if it looked good on me", I said.

"Oh....that is bad. Well you never know what he might be doing on the other side of the phone", she joked.

"That's gross! Susan, how am I gonna face him. We've been close friends for years. What if he thinks I want to...you know", I said.

"Go find out. You have to talk to him and tell him it was a mistake", she said.

"I can't. You know I suck with things like this. I don't even know if he'll want to be my friend anymore", I groaned.

"Trust me. Seeing a pic of you in a bikini will make him think more than that. Anyways, you're gonna have to find out what you're gonna do soon because we got invited to a dinner party at their house", she said.

"What?? Why didn't you tell me??", I paced around the room as I freaked out.

"(Y/n), you already knew. They told you and you told me", she laughed.

"Shi-..I mean, crap!..I have to go. I'll meet up with you later", I said and ran out of her house.

"I have a weird friend", Susan said as she yawned.

I had my dress on, my hair and make up was done, but my heart wasn't ready. My brother Hoshi said he was gonna pick me up soon. I thought about what I was gonna say to Joshua. I held my head up high and kept telling myself I could do it. I heard the doorbell ring so I grabbed my purse and opened the door.

"Ready?", Hoshi asked.

"Yeah let me just-......you didn't come alone?", I asked as I looked over his shoulder to see Woozi, Minghao, Jeonghan, and Joshua in the car.

"We were at the studio. Come on we gotta go", he locked the door and pushed me towards the car.

He opened the car door for me but I noticed there was no room. Hoshi told me to just sit on their lap but Joshua was near the door meaning I would have to sit on his lap.

"Uh...can't I just sit in the front?", I asked, avoiding Joshua's stare.

"We're running late. Just get in and I'll drive fast but carefully", he said, pushing me into the car.

During the ride to their house, it was very awkward....well awkward for me since Joshua wouldn't stop staring at me. I think he had his phone in his pocket because I couldn't sit comfortably so I kept moving around but it was still there. I cleared my throat and tried to avoid him looking down at me. My face must be red as a tomato.

"We're here", Hoshi said.

"Finally", I whispered to myself.

I quickly got out of the car and walked towards their door. Susan was already waiting there so I grabbed her hand and pulled her inside their house.

"Why are you red? Did you tell him??", she whispered.

"No but he kept staring at me. I don't think I can do this. I'm gonna have to leave early", I said.

"Please don't. Just talk to him", she said.

"No I can't. I'm gonna use the restroom", I said.

I turned on the sink and washed my hands. My heart kept racing. I felt like I was gonna throw up. I flinched when I heard a knock on the door.

"It's busy!", I said.

Another knock was heard again so I quickly opened the door.

"I said it's b-...Joshua?", I felt myself blushing.

"Can we talk?", he asked.

"Um..in here? I think we should go somewhere el-"

"Nope here's good", he said as he walked inside the bathroom and closed the door.

I kept stuttering so I turned away from him. He leaned up against the sink and cleared his throat.

"So...that picture you sent...it wasn't for me right?", he asked.

"Um..no..", I mumbled quietly.

"It was for your boyfriend right? Because a picture like that has to be sent to someone you're close to. But then again we're close and you never said it was a mistake. Maybe you wanted to send it to me and pretend it was an accident. Are you embarrassed?", he asked.

"It was a mistake. I wanted to send it to Susan so she could let me know if it looked good or not", I said.

"Well...it did. I'm not saying that because I want to do things that are kinda hard to explain but obvious to figure out what I'm saying or thinking...actually never mind..that made no sense. Forget it. Anyways, I already deleted the picture you sent me so you don't have to worry about me sending it to someone or whatever. I gotta go", he laughed awkwardly as he scratched his head.

"Wait...what were you gonna say?", I asked.

"Nothing just... I thought you sent it to me because you like me..or something. I know it's stupid that I thought that. Let's just forget this whole thing happened", he smiled awkwardly.

"I do like you...but I wouldn't do that to confess to you. Actually confessing to you in a bathroom is really weird also. I would've confessed to you in a different way. Or maybe not because of how nervous I get but I probably make it obvious either way. I never thought you would feel the same. Do you feel the same way or did I just make things more awkward? I don't think you said you feel the same so I'm just gonna shut up and walk out of here", I said and walked passed him.

Before I could get close to the door, I felt Joshua grab my wrist and pull me back. What I least expected was for him to kiss me especially since we're in a bathroom that has marshmallow scented candles....or does that do the opposite?

After he pulled away, I noticed how red his cheeks and ears got. Mine must look the same as his. I was completely stunned and confused.

"Uh...sorry..", he said.

He noticed how speechless I was which made him chuckle quietly.

"When you're out of that trance of yours, I'll be with everyone else outside just in case", he smiled and kissed my cheek before walking out of the bathroom.

My hand hovered over my cheek and I mentally screamed. I got all the excitement out of my system by jumping around. Once I calmed down, I went outside and hung out with Joshua  the whole day.
