-Soomi-

I sighed as Hyungseo and I left the classroom.

We were in there for an hour and a half, and the sun was slowly setting. My stomach made a sound as we stepped out of the school gate, and Hyungseo seemed to notice since he let out a chuckle.

"Where do you want to eat?"

"What?" I asked. "No, no, Hyungseo, it's okay."

"No, I told hyung that I'd treat you to dinner. I'm sticking by my word, Soomi." Hyungseo said as he stopped walking.

"But - " I breathed as I looked into his eyes. 

He looked so serious about it.

"Fine." I gave in. "But just this once."

He gave me a victorious smile as he started skipping, not waiting for me.

"Yah! Hyungseo!"

🔥❄️❄️🔥

I locked the door, then took my shoes off. I headed to the living room to find Sangyeon lazing on the couch.

"Hi, oppa." I greeted.

He turned around, and smiled at me.

"Hey, little sister. Did Hyungseo really take you out for dinner?"

"Yeah, he did."

"Good."

He patted the space beside him, and I sat down with a confused look on my face.

"Do you think Hyungseo likes you by any chance?"

I laughed out loud.

"No, I'm sure he doesn't." I said after gathering my breath. "We see each other as friends, maybe even siblings. But there's no way I'd see him to be more than that."

"But who do you see as more than a friend?"

"W-what?" Was taken aback by his sudden question.

"Who do you like, Soomi? In that way."

My lips formed a thin line as I avoided eye contact with him. So many things ran through my mind; why was he asking me this? Why now? Why did it matter? Did I even like anyone?

"Soomi?"

"I don't know." I said softly, still avoiding eye contact. "I don't know if I like anyone."

He sighed as he nodded. "Alright, I'm sorry for pushing it onto you."

"Why were you pushing it anyway?"

"I was worried about you."

"Huh?"

"The guys... they seem to finally be realizing how they feel about you."

I let out a laugh. "Oppa, none of them feel like that towards me."

"No one except Jaehyun."

"No way. He bullies me."

"That's why he bullies you, Soomi. It's because he likes you."

"Okay, you can stop joking around."

"I'm not!"

I sighed deeply as I rolled my eyes at him. "Look, it's been a long day I want to sleep."

"Alright, alright." Sangyeon said as he stood up. "I'm sorry, little sis."

"It's fine." I said as I gave him a small smile. "Nothing to worry about, really."
