The next day I was so nervous I couldn't think straight. I walked into the studio, hesitating to open the door. Looking in, guess who I saw. Yeah, there he was, standing in the middle of the room. His head turned toward me. I wish I didn't have to show up earlier than them.

I quietly stood in the doorway, staring aimlessly at him. A blush began to show on my face as I snapped out of my daze, walking towards the corner to drop my bag.

"Good morning." He smiled at me like he always does. But this time it felt different. It felt more disheartened, like a part of him was missing. Like he was looking at something he wanted with all of his heart, but couldn't have.

I gave him a weak smile back, hoping the boys showed up before something even more awkward happened.

I leaned my back on the wall, facing Hyunjin who was hovered over his bag.

"Hyunjin," I muttered, afraid of speaking. He hummed, diverting his attention to me. "I, um. I just wanted to say that I'm sorry." My gaze was toward the ground.

"Why would you be sorry?" He stood up and started making his was towards me. Slowly.

"Well, I'm sorry that I pushed you away." I looked up at him, he walked closer.

"Are you saying you regret it?" He placed his hand on the wall next to my head, like a cheesy k-drama scene. My heart was racing, and my hands were sweaty. What was he doing? What was he doing to me?

"I... Um.." I stared at his lips, unable to look him in his eyes.

"Eunyoung, I'm not a very forward guy. But something about you does this to me." He gently placed his hand on my cheek. "I don't know how to feel when I'm with you." He lifted my chin to meet his eyes. They were deep pools of emotion, drawing me in as I stared, frozen under his stare.

I tried to speak but all of my words were stuck in my throat. I couldn't think of what to say, let alone say them out loud.

"Just tell me if you feel the same way. Please." He looked longingly into my eyes, and I was completely under his control.

"I do," I whispered hesitantly. I didn't realize what I had said, I wasn't in control of my own body.

Not one second after I said those words, Hyunjin leaned in planting a kiss on my lips. He kissed me like my lips were air and he couldn't breathe. I deepened the kiss, wrapping my arms around his neck, completely unable to think clearly.

He held me in his arms, grasping me like I was going to slip away. His lips felt like sunset clouds, and his touch felt like slow ocean waves. I never wanted to leave his embrace, it felt like home.

It was only a minute later we heard a knock on the door.
