I woke up around 5am. I looked up to see his sleeping figure. I go to get up only to be pulled back down.

"5 more minuets." He mumbles.

I then again try to slip from his grasp. I finally successfully stand up.

"Maybe later." I say and kiss his forehead.

"So your dating?" I hear a voice from behind me.

"Mia." I say turning around to face the older girl.

"Its fine I won't tell anyone." She says and I breathe out.

"Well we confessed to each other. So we're not officially dating, yet." I finish and she smiles.

"Can I tell you something?" She says and I nod.

"I'm dating someone." She says and I run and hug her.

"Omg. Really? Why didn't I know about this?" I ask breaking the hug.

"Now if I tell you this next part you can't tell anyone else." She says.

"Promise." I say and she smiles.

"Her name is Andy. We've been dating ever since I was a trainee." She says and I smile even more.

"I'm mad your just telling me this but I'm happy for you." I say and hug her again.

"I won't tell anyone if you don't." She says and I nod.

"I promised didn't I." I say and she yawns.

"I should be heading to bed. See you later for practice." She says and I nod.

I walk back to see Chan sitting up rubbing his eyes.

"Wanna go get coffee?" I ask.

"Let me get my shoes." He says standing up.

I wait for him to get his shoes on before leaving to get coffee.

"So Mia saw us this morning. But she won't say anything." I say and he looks at me.

"Your sure?" He asks.

"I know Mia, I'm sure." I say.

"But can I tell at least 2 people. Bare minimum." I plead.

"Seungmin and who else?" He asks.

"Ava." I say and he looks away before looking back at me.

"Are you sure? It's our careers on the line if you tell people." He says and I nod.

"They won't tell anyone. Besides if they do I have something to ruin there careers as well." I say and he smiles.

"What I get myself into?" He asks and I giggle.

We walk into the convenience store. We go to make our coffees before paying and walking out.

We walk home.

We enter the front door and walk into our separate rooms.

"Where were you last night?" Ava asks putting her uniform on.

"I was working, why?" I ask.

"No reason I just thought that it was weird that you broke your promise." She says.

"What promise did I break." I ask again looking at her.

"Well assuming you just got home from the company, your promise to Chan about coming home at 3 and sleeping more." She says and I sigh.

"I was home by 1 for your information." I say.

"Then where were you?" She asks again.

"I was asleep on the couch." I say walking over to my bed.

"And not your bed. You had to either been really tired or lying." She says and I smile.

"Ask Mia or Chan. They saw me asleep on the couch this morning." I say and she nods.

"Okay, I believe you." She says grabbing her new bag.

"I have school so don't wait up." She says and I just shoo her away.

I sit on my bed and drink my coffee trying to wake up. I grab my phone and check the time. It 7. I slept for once in my life.

I go through my notifications and see some missed texted from my mom and Amber. I text them both back.

Then my mom calls me.

"Yeah hold on mom I have to go outside." I say as I stand up and walk out the front door.

"Hey mom." I say.

"Hi darling, how is being an idol treating you?" She asks.

"You know long nights, having to produce and stuff. What about you and dad, how's the bakery?" I ask.

"Oh honey... We haven't told you yet haven't we." She says.

"What? What happened to the bakery?" I question.

"We had to sell it. We're getting old and not enough people were coming in so we sold it and retired." She says.

"But what about passing it down to me or Devin? Or how will you afford your medication now?" I ask.

"We will be just fine darling. Devin is working as an engineer and makes enough money to keep us stable." She says and I breathe a sigh of relief.

"Oh yeah, did Devin and his fiancé get married?" I ask.

"They did. And your going to be an aunt." She says and I smile.

"Really? She pregnant! Do we know the gender yet or names?" I ask.

"No it's still to soon to tell." She say and I smile even more.

"Well you'll be happy to hear that I might not be single anymore." I say.

"Finally found yourself a man? Took long enough." She says and I smile.

"Mom... Anyways I think he's a keeper. Tall, blonde, funny, dimples, and the biggest heart in the world." I say.

"Well keep him. You never know when another one will come by." She says and I giggle a little more.

"He's an idol too. He's in Stray Kids, as the leader. His name is Chan. Search him up and be proud of me." I say.

"I'm all ready proud of you dear." She says.

"Thanks mom." I smile.

"Hold on I have my laptop right here. Let's see. Stray Kids, Chan." She says and I hear her type.

"Wow. I'm impressed with you. Got yourself a looker." She says and I giggle.

"He's perfect." I say.

After about another hour goes by we hang up.

"Bye mom love you..." I say.

"By dear and get some sleep would ya." She says.

"I will, love you, bye." I hang up. I turn around and walk back inside.

"There you are. Where'd you go, the company?" Chan asks sitting on the couch.

"No I was just talking to my mom outside." I say and he nods.

"So what ya watching." I ask going to sit by him.
