You scrolled through your phone for almost an hour looking for a dessert that is easy to make so you can bake it for Joshua but apparently having a problem not knowing what to do.

You sit up on the bed and sighed.

Should you make brownies? It's pretty easy.

You look at the recipe once again and nodded, confirming to make brownies for him. You then remembered there are no ingredients in the kitchen and decided to go buy the things needed.

You didn't bother to change your clothes and just grab your purse to go to the supermarket.

Once you get down everyone was in the living room and they turn to look at you.

"Where are you going?" Hoshi asked you.

"To the supermarket, I have a few things to buy,"

"Great, we're actually discussing on groceries for our home. You can go with Joshua because he'll be buying everything we listed,"

Fuck.

You cleared your throat and looked away avoiding his eyes.

"Let's go," he said as he walked past you grabbing the car keys and went to the front door.

Your parents bought three cars for all of you to use but since you can't drive, you already thought about calling a taxi.

You put on my sneakers real quick and went inside the car with Joshua.

He's wearing a white oversize sweatshirt with jeans and a white cap. You swear he looks a thousand times hotter when driving. You stared at him while he focuses on driving.

"Why are you staring at me?" He asked without looking at you.

"Sorry," You mumbled and looked down.

"I'm not mad, but why are you staring?" He asks you again and you look down.

"Nothing,"

He didn't respond and both of you arrived at the supermarket right after.

When you entered, you wanted to go to the left but he held your wrist, stopping you immediately.

"Where are you going?"

"I wanted to take my stuff," what's wrong with him?

"We're going in the same direction, let's go,"

He pulled you and grab a trolley at the entrance.

Both of you then went to every aisle and take all the stuff that he needed on the list and also took the ingredients that you saw for your brownies.

The last thing you need is flour and after finally founding where the flour is, you tiptoed trying to get it since it's high up on the shelve.

As soon as you get it, you started to lose your balance and the next thing you knew, you were falling.

You opened my closed eyes noticing that you didn't reach the floor.

Joshua saved you again.

"What will you do if I'm not around? You're so clumsy," he said as you stand up straight again.

"Am not," You scoffed.

"This is the second time you're falling and I caught you," You blushed and stayed silent because you know you won't win against him.

"Got everything you needed?" He asked you and you nodded.

"Okay let's go back home,"

Both of you paid for everything that you've bought and he pushed the trolley to the car.

After putting all the groceries in the car, he started driving while you played with your phone and after quite some time, you look up to the front and noticed an unfamiliar road.

"Where are we going?"

"I'm thirsty, going for a Starbucks drive-thru,"

You nodded not responding. Who are you to stop him since he's the one driving?

The car was completely silent and only filled with the song playing from the radio.

You arrived at the drive-thru and he ordered Iced Americano.

"What do you want?"

"Huh? Oh umm, Chocolate Cream Chip Frappuccino," you didn't expect he'll order for you too so you just chose your usual favourite.

You opened your purse to take your money.

"It's okay, my treat," he gave his credit card to the cashier.

"Thanks," You said to him and smiled.

He then drives to pick up your drinks. On the way home, You only look at the road while drinking.

"Can I ask you something?" He slowed down the radio and you nodded.

"Are you scared of me?" Your eyes widened to his question.

"What? N-no,"

He stopped the car at the side of the road.

"Then why are you like this? You always looked down while talking to me and can properly look at my face, you're not like that to the others,"

"It's not like that,"

"Then what is it?" He asks and waited for your answer.

"Well, I know you hated me, and currently I've been causing trouble to you so I thou-" he cuts you off.

"Okay wait, why would I hate you? Who told you that?"

"Nobody, but you always gave me a cold shoulder so I thought you never liked me around you,"

"You're thinking too far," he rested his head on the headrest.

"No, I'm not, you never laughed when you're with me, you barely talked to me!" You defended yourself because it seems like he is only blaming you.

He stayed quiet and sit back up and faced you.

"I'm sorry if you felt that way, I just don't know how to talk to girls,"

You suddenly felt guilty for making him like this. Without saying anything, he continued driving, and the whole way until both of you reached home was filled again with silence.

The other guys helped to bring the groceries inside and you both just entered the house bringing your drinks.

"You guys bought Starbucks for yourselves? What about us?" Neither of you replied what they said and went straight to your rooms.

"What's with them?" Hoshi asked Woozi and he just shrugged. All of them didn't ask anything further.

You just laid in your room thinking about what just happened between you and Joshua. He never opened up to you like that, even precise, talk to you as much as that.

You sighed and went to the kitchen to bake him brownies.

You need to settle this problem with him.
