*Your Perspective*

     The sunlight gets in your eyes and you finally decide to wake up. You rub your eyes, looking around. It then occurs to you that this wasn't your room. You search around immediately for any sign of life and spot Hongbin next to you. His arm was wrapped around your waist and you feel butterflies erupt in your stomach. Not only did your head begin throbbing, but your heart did as well. Carefully and gently, you place his arm aside. You sit up and find Hyuk across the room, sleeping soundly. The annoying ringtone of your phone fills the air and you quickly pick it up, not wanting any of the guys to wake up.

    "Hello?" you answer, whispering.

    "Where are you?" it was none other than Cody. You roll your eyes.

    "With Hongbin," you respond. It was the first name that came into mind even though Hyuk was there as well.

    "I'm coming over," he states.

    "No, stay where you are," you order. "And please tell me why I'm in their dorm."

    "I don't know. It could've been an accident or something. I dropped you off and left. That's all I did. Don't ask me," he says.

    "How the hell would I end up here though?" you ask. "Check the security footage. You were supposed to be on duty. You would know."

     "Alright, I'm checking now..." he says and you hear his keyboard clacking away busily. "You entered the wrong room."

     "How? I don't even know the password to this dump," you say.

     "Hongbin let you in after you kept ringing their doorbell," he responds.

     "Damn, I must've been high," you slowly massage your head, wanting the hangover to just vanish. That's when you hear a groan from beside you. "Don't come here."

     You hang up the call and place your phone down. You watch as Hongbin sits up, rubbing his face. He then sees you and smiles. Your heart skips a beat and you try your best to keep a straight face. You then get up grumpily, wanting to search for some painkillers.

    "Did you sleep well?" he asks.

     You don't respond and run out of there. You couldn't stand to see him while you were still in the same clothes as the night before, looking like a hot mess. Quickly, you rush to the nearest washroom and lock the door. Opening the cabinets, you realize that you can't read anything. Instead, you look at yourself in the mirror.

Since when did I care about looks?

     Calming down, you take a deep breath and ignore the feelings caused by the headache, the bullet wound and Hongbin. You focus on washing your face. Then, you leave the bathroom and almost bump into Hyuk. You notice that almost all of the members were already awake.

    "How was your sleep last night?" Hyuk asks. "Was it comfortable?"

    "In all honesty, I don't even remember what happened," you state truthfully.

    "Want me to tell you?" he asks politely.

    "Nah, it's okay. Cody already told me," you say.

    "Cody? Ah! The one who came in yesterday night!" he exclaims. You send him a confused expression.

Huh? His story doesn't match Cody's. There's definitely a discrepancy.

*Hongbin's Perspective*

     I watch as she scurries away hurriedly. She never even answered my question. I sigh and was immediately in a bad mood. I stand up and begin to clean up the place with a heavy heart. I quickly tidy everything up.

     "Hyung," I turn around and spot Hyuk. "That guy who dropped by yesterday night...he lied to her."

     "Meo? (What?)" I say with my eyes wide open.

    "I heard them talking on the phone," he responds and looks at me. "I'm going to tell her."

    "Do you think she'll believe you?" I ask.

    "I'll take my chances," he says and I could hear a cell phone begin to ring. I find the phone and check the caller.

    "It's him," I tell Hyuk.

    "I'll take care of her. You talk to him," he says and leaves. I stare at the screen for a while before finally sliding the green answer button.

    "Agent! I'm going to move over to your apartment. After last night, it's just not safe," Cody says.

    "What gives you the right to decide that?" I respond.

    "Hongbin? For real? You answered her phone?" he scoffs.

    "You lied to her," I say, getting straight to the point.

    "So? She may look strong, but she isn't. I'm here to protect her, Hongbin. It's my job as her partner," he says.

    "That doesn't give you the right to lie to her," I say, defending her. "Hyuk has already gone to tell her."

    "You think she'll believe him over me? Wrong. We've been together for two years now. Do you know how painful it is to stand by her side, taking care of her with all your heart only to be rejected?" he responds angrily. "I saw you leave her apartment yesterday morning. You can't date her, only I can. You can't afford to have a scandal, it'll ruin your career so only I am right for her."

    "That's where you're wrong," I spit.

    "Hongbin?" I hear her voice call out. I turn around.  She sends a questioning look and then sees her phone in my hand. "It's Cody, isn't it?"

    I nod my head and she comes over. Just then, she takes the phone and hangs up. The girl turns my way and hugs me. She fits perfectly under my chin and I softly stroke her back. We stay like this for a while until I hear footsteps approaching my room. I quickly let go of her and her phone goes off again. She groans.

     "Hello?" she answers it. Hyuk enters the room.

     "Hyung, is she okay?" he mouths.

     "Ye," I respond and he inhales deeply and then exhales, smiling.

     "We have to head to dance practice now," he says. "Quickly eat so that we could leave."

     "Arassuh," I respond and was about to leave when I hear something I wish I hadn't.

     "Alright, Cody. I'll let you stay in my apartment," the girl says.

She ended up trusting him over Hyuk?
