Hyunjae groaned as she woke up. Her head and body were killing her. It felt like she had slept on a rock. She opened her eyes as confusion struck her. Why was Yuta sleeping across from her in a bathtub? Her mind instantly recalled last night.

"I'm tired," Hyunjae mumbled laying her head against the wall of the tub.

"Why don't you leave then?" Yuta asked gazing up at the ceiling.

"My friends are probably in the dorm with their hookup or something. Plus I'm too lazy to actually walk back," She said honestly.

After drinking and smoking she just wanted to sleep.

"That makes two of us. My friends are probably still partying their asses off down there."

"Oh by the way. When's your next soccer game?" She asked out of the blue.

"Two weeks. Why? You wanna come support your favorite player?" He asked teasingly.

She scoffed, "Nope. I wanted to know so I could specifically make plans that day."

He faked a hurt look while putting a hand over his heart, "Ouch."

"I'm joking. I do kind of wanna see you play again. You're good, too good if you ask me," she says praising him.

"Too good? What's that supposed to mean?" He asked confused.

"Too good for a college soccer team," she responded, "Do you wanna be a professional soccer player?"

Yuta raised his brow taken aback by the question. A question even he didn't have an answer to.

"Shit I honestly don't know. I'd love to but I think about the possibilities of getting a nasty injury and having my career end so abruptly."

"That's true but you could always have a back up in case that ever happened," She suggested.

Most athletes had a back up plan in case they got a career ending injury. It was scary to think that it could happen but it was better to be prepared for it.

"Yeah you're right. I'll think about it."

"Good."

"By the way I like your outfit," Yuta smiled, "You really have an eye for style."

"Seriously?" Hyunjae asked looking down at her outfit.

She thought it was kind of plain if she was being honest, but the compliment still overwhelmed her.

"You're cute when you blush too!" He said teasing her.

"I am not cute!" She groaned narrowing her eyes at him.

"Yes you are," He said without hesitation.

He wasn't sure if he was purposely flirting because of the alcohol or because he wanted to but it sure was fun.

"Whoa I didn't know you were cute and a flirt," Hyunjae spoke with a chuckle, "if you wanted to flirt with me you could have just said so."

Yuta laughed, "Trust me you haven't seen me become flirty. This is nothing."

"Suddenly I'm intrigued to see you become a flirt," she admitted.

He smirked, "Maybe one day."

"Geez what a tease," she sighed.

The duo laughed at their conversation. Neither of them thought they would have ended up here tonight, but it was by far one of their best nights yet.
