Once I opened the door to my home, I was met with a smiling Seungmin, carrying a small bouquet of white roses and a bag of different chips and soda. My eyes widened, but then he only chuckled and entered.

They were used to visiting me anyway, as well, although I visited them more often. He then sat down on the couch, making me blink rapidly.

I followed him to the couch and sat down next to him, so he gave me the roses which surprised me.

"Seungmin, what's this for?" I asked, but he only chuckled and shook his head.

"We just haven't hung out in a while and I thought bringing you flowers and of course, food, would make you happy," said Seungmin, making me smile and hug him.

He chuckled, rubbing my back as I hugged him tight. I then placed the bouquet on the coffee table, and then looked for the remote so I could turn on the tv.

After finding it, I clicked on the power button and it led me to a chill music channel. He then slowly took my hand, intertwining it with his but I could tell that he was kind of nervous about doing it.

"Actually, I came here to tell you something, too," said Seungmin, causing me to look at him. He looked nervous, as he chuckled.

"What is it?" I asked, and then he smiled.

"If one of the members wanted to date you, would you allow them?" Asked Seungmin, surprising me.

Why are they asking me these questions all of a sudden? Is it because of the comments from my posts? Are they bothered about it?

"Um, is this because of the posts-"

"No, this is because one of us likes you. In a genuine way," Seungmin cut me off, causing me to widen my eyes.

"S-Seriously? I don't- I don't know about that," I said, fiddling with our intertwined hands.

I suddenly felt conscious about our hands. Was it right to hold a friend's hand like this? Was it right to hold his hand like this, friend or not?

"Now you know. But I hope this doesn't make things awkward for us," he said, making me look away.

I feel embarrassed. Why would one of them like me? I mean, I'm just me. But why?

"Who?" I asked, making me shut my eyes at the sudden question I asked. I didn't even realize that I said it.

"That doesn't matter now. But the question is... would you date the member? If he sincerely likes you, is there a chance that you would learn to like them back?" Seungmin slowly asked, playing with our intertwined hands.

I thought about it. Even me myself wanted answers to the question he was asking me. What if that happened, right? Will I be able to like that member back?

I mean, all of them are boyfriend material, but would we get past the friendship? To be honest, I imagined dating one of them before, but I just shrugged it off because I thought that it was absurd.

Will I?

"Maybe." I slowly answered, making him breathe out.

"Maybe what? Maybe yes, maybe no? How many percent?" He asked, and I pouted as I thought about it.

"Maybe yes, 60%." I settled for that.

He went silent for a few seconds, before releasing my hand to take some of the food he bought. He started eatinf and gave me some, so we ate quietly.

To be honest, the question he asked made me think. I pushed back that question for so long that I didn't even know how to answer it anymore.

"I'm sorry if I asked too soon," Seungmin said, but I just gave him a smile.

"No, actually, I thought about that before. It's nothing," I replied, making him slowly nod.

"Guess I wasn't the only one," he muttered, and I was sure that I wasn't supposed to hear that but I did anyway.

As I laid down in bed, I kept rethinking. It really was inevitable, I know. Me liking one of them, and one of them liking me. I pushed that thought for so long, that I didn't realize that it could be this soon that something like that would happen.

Sighing, I closed my eyes.

I'll just sleep it away.
