Selin's P.O.V

I was doing my homework while checking Yaxuan's practices when suddenly the song playing on my phone stopped. I looked at it and realized that Yaxuan was calling me. I picked it up, "Yes?"

"Come meet me by the playground down the street."

"Wait, right now?"

"Yes. Right now. I'll be waiting."

"But I'm in my pajamas already!"

"Doesn't matter. This won't take too long."

"Is it urgent?"

"Yeah."

I quickly went out of my room with the phone in my hand. I didn't bother wearing a jacket or anything since my pajamas have long sleeves. "Where are you going, dear?" Mom asked as I passed by the dining room. She was working on her laptop. Another laptop was beside her, I'm guessing Dad is also working this late.

"I'll just go get some fresh air."

"Don't come back too late okay?"

"Yes, Mom."

I went out and ran towards the playground just down the street. 'Eh? No one's here.' I thought as I walked slowly to the swing so I could sit there. I turned on my phone and started typing a message to Yaxuan when a pair of hands covered my eyes. At that very moment I stiffened.

Am I being kidnapped?! Am I being robbed?! Or worse, am I going to be raped?!

"Please, let me go. I don't have money, and I have many malfunctioning organs, and my body's not in good shape." I said while trembling.

There was a total silence, but then someone laughed. Oh, it's Yaxuan's laughter. Then it hit me. These hands are Yaxuan's!

I held his hands to put them down. "Yaxuan?!"

"Please, let me go." He imitated as he laughed.

I flustered and said, "Stop pulling pranks like that at this time of the day! Geez. Why did you even call me this late?"

"Wait." He said and continued laughing. "What were you thinking?!"

"I thought you were a bad guy." I mumbled and glared at him.

He laughed again and patted my head. "You don't have to worry."

"Actually, I should. You're an idol, your fans might see you here." I said as I turned around to look at him since he was behind me.

"People don't bother coming here when it's night time." He said as he bent down and took out two cups of coffee. "Here." He lent one to me and I accepted it. "It's hot chocolate."

I cupped my hands on it, trying to get the warmth of the drink. I actually regret not getting a jacket or a coat with me. These pajamas won't hold back the cold for me. "What's this for?" I asked as he leaned on the pole of the swing.

"Judging by how long the list of homework you wrote down on the notebook, you need it." He said.

"Have you finished them?"

"Not yet. I haven't done any of it. I'll get to it once I get back to the dorm."

"That reminds me, shouldn't you be there practicing?"

"They let us rest earlier today. That's why I went here to meet up with you."

"Oh, I see." I said, blushing hard when he stated why he met up with me. Good thing it's kind of dark here.

I really still feel cold. I slouched back and brought my knees closer to the cup. The cool breeze then started to hug me, making sure I'm all folded up because of the cold.
