~~The Next Morning, Hyun’s POV~~~

I slowly awaken from my deep sleep to the sound of banging on my door. My eyes slowly flutter open and I look over at the door to my room. I sit up and stretch my body, my limbs letting out popping and cracking sounds. “Who is it?” I yell to the person behind the door as the banging stops and the door opens slightly. Taehyung’s head peeks out from behind the door and he smiles gently at me. “Morning Hyun. It’s time for you to wake up. Your other friends are down stairs waiting for you.” He says with his smile not leaving his face as he closes the door. I sit in my bed dumbfounded for a few minutes while looking at my phone. ‘10:37 am’ My face contorts in confusion. “Why are they here so early?” I ask myself as I take the blanket off of me and swing my legs over the side of my bed. “Ohhhh wait..” I mumble to myself as I remember what happened. I woke up at around 2 in the morning because of a nightmare and the boys were still talking in the group chat. Since I couldn’t sleep, I joined in on the conversation and decided they could come to get me before 11.

I sigh and run my hand through my hair before throwing my phone down on my bed and standing up. I walk over to my closet to pick my outfit and eventually am able to decide.

^^Hyun's Outfit^^
(Ignore the glasses and bag)

After I change my clothes I walk back over to my bed and grab my phone. “Hyun hurry up!” I hear Namjoon yell at me from downstairs to get me to pick up the pace. “I’m comin’, I’m comin’! Hold your Hoseoks!” I yell back to him and walk out of my room and down the stairs. As soon as I reach the bottom step I see nine smiling boys waiting for me and I smile back at them. “You ready to go now noona?” Jeongin asks me as he jumps in his place, excitement obvious in his voice. “Yep! Let’s get going, yeah?” I say back and hear footsteps come closer to me. I look in the direction of the sound and see none other than Seokjin. Everyone in the room fall into silence as a slight tension builds in the air as Jin stares at me for a second. Once a smile laces his lips and he pulls me into a hug the breath I was holding escapes through my nose and hug him back.

Jin pulls back at ruffles my hair, making me whine and fix it. “You go and have fun, okay Hyunmi?” He says, his signature smile still on his face. I giggle and nod, turning back to my 9 new best friends and run in between Felix and Jisung, flinging my arms around their shoulders and pulling them closer to me. They laugh as well and wrap their arms behind me back as we start walking out the door. “Bye Hyunmi!” I hear my brother and the others yell as the door closes. We walk down the sidewalk and around to the same park as yesterday. I take my arms off Felix and Jisung’s shoulders, walking ahead and sitting down on the riverbank, looking into the crystal clear water just near my feet. The boys take their places along the riverbank, Felix and Jisung once again taking their places next to me. We sit in a comfortable silence just staring at the water until Chris breaks it.

“Hyunmi, huh?” Chan asks in a somewhat mocking tone. “Christopher, huh?” I retaliate at him, using the same tone he did. He instantly shuts his mouth as the others burst out laughing. I giggle with them but notice the absence of one voice in particular. I look amongst the boys and to my surprise he was nowhere to been seen in my line of vision. “Guys I’ll be right back..” I say and stand up, starting to look around for him, wherever he went. I sigh, running my hand through my hair all the way to my purple tips. I pull out my phone, needing to figure out exactly where he is.

Text Message-
Hyun: Where did you go?

I blow my hair out of my face and turn my phone off, waiting for his message back. I lean my back against a tree, my eyes closing as I let out another breath. My phone vibrates in my hand and my eyes shoot open again. I turn on the screen and to my delight it’s from him.

Text Message-
Minho the Cutie😘: Why do you care? Just go stay with the other boys.

My heart hurts at his text and I immediately start typing.

Text Conversation-
Hyun: Minho please… I’m worried..
Minho the Cutie😘: You didn’t look so worried when you were all touchy touchy with Jisung and Felix😒
Hyun: That’s because they’re my friends?? You were still there then too..
Hyun: Oppa please.. where are you?

~~Minho’s POV~~

Text Message-
Potential Other Half💕: Oppa please.. where are you?

My heart skips a beat at the use of the word. I feel my face heating up as a red hue dusts over my cheeks. I run my hand through my hair and drag it back down my face, trying to cover my blush even though I fail since my hair is too short. I let out a big huff of air trying to calm myself down as I text her back.

Text Conversation-
Minho: Just tell me where you are, I’ll be there soon.
Potential Other Half💕: I’m near the entrance of the forest at the park. Oppa please hurry I’m boredddd the other boys are wondering where you are now too

I feel my blood slightly boil at her mention of the others but I blow out another huff of air. “Calm down Minho.. She isn’t even your girlfriend so why are you mad? Those boys are your best friends too..” I say myself as I make my way back near the forest. I continue to walk in silence, caught up on my thoughts from the past few days.

As I approach the forest I see the silhouette of none other than the beauty herself, Hyunmi. She's sitting down, leaning against the tree behind her. As I step closer I notice that her eyes are closed, probably tired from looking around for me. I smile and crouch down next to her, looking at her beautiful face for a while.

She slowly starts to stir so I put my smile back on my face as her beautiful brown eyes meet my gaze. “Oppa!” Hyun yelled in relief with tears forming in her eyes as she throws her arms around my neck, pulling me into a tight hug. A red blush erupts on my face as I hug her back, resting one of my hands on her head and running my fingers through her hair to calm her down. “Shh Hyun it's okay, I'm okay..” I whisper in her ear and continue running my fingers through her hair. “I was scared something happened to you oppa..” She cries into my chest and my heart aches, knowing I'm pretty much the reason she's crying. “I'm sorry..” I mumble to her as we stay in our position. She somehow wound up on my lap, but I didn't pay much mind to it.

“There you two are!” I hear a voice ahead of me and look up to see none other than the other boys. They all have worried expressions on their faces, Woojin-hyung and Chan-hyung looking the most worried. “Sorry guys…” I say and look down, not wanting to see their faces at the current point in time. “It's okay but.. I think noona fell asleep.” Seungmin says with a chuckle as he points to Hyun, who is still on my lap. I look down at her to see her eyes closed and breathing steady. I look at the others and smile saying, “I guess we should take her home then, huh?” The other boys nod and help me get her up without waking her up.

I stand up and turn my back to the boys, motioning for them to put her on my back. Once I feel her weight, which wasn't much, on my back, I hold her thighs to not drop her. Jisung comes around in front of me and gently grabs Hyun’s arms, wrapping them around my neck and we start walking.

~~~Time Skip to the Kim Residence; Hyun’s POV~~~

I've been awake for a few minutes now, still on Minho’s back though. Yes I'm fit and skinny, but I'm still lazy as hell. I look up at my house lazily as I get off his back. I turn to look at all 9 boys, feeling slightly bad. I mean, at least we were able to hang out for at least two hours.. “Well, this is my stop. Bye guysssss” I say and open my arms, ready for the big group hug that's about to come in. “Bye Hyun!/Bye Hyunmi!/Bye noona!” Came the chorus of voices as they closed in on me, nine pairs of arms slowly wrapping around me.

I giggle as they let me go, still smiling as I walk up to the door and open it. I look back at them one last time with a final wave as I close the door behind me, welcoming the day to come with my brother and the other six boys.
