After realizing that Hyunjin was in love with someone else, Y/n went MIA. She hasn't talked with the group for a while because she wasn't comfortable with Hyunjin just yet.
Finally, after 4 months of running away from it all, she made it her mission to go see them. "Here goes.." she placed her ID on the scanner, opening the door to the building.
Their song 'Back Door' was playing and she couldn't help but do the choreography.
"Yah!" she jumped, stopping in place. "You think you can go missing for months and pop up out of nowhere like everything is okay, huh?"
'Fuck I'm screwed... "she mumbled, eyes closing for a brief moment.
" Where have you been? I really missed you, you know?" Looking up, she realized who was lecturing her.

"Chris..."
Bang Chan jogged up to her, hands on his hips. "And you're doing the dance wrong? You're very bold there, Y/n." He shakes his head in disbelief, pulling her in for a hug right after.
"I would have come visit more but..." "You needed time... I understand that. Some people can't pretend they're okay. Especially in this line of work." he read her mind. She nodded, taking in the scent of his cologne. It was a bit strong.
"Come on.." he grabs her hand and he takes her into the dance studio. She removes her jacket, revealing a ripped army green shirt that matched her camp joggers.
"You got a tattoo?" he pointed to skin that was exposed. It was on her hip. "It was painful. But it's beautiful. Now show me where I was messing up." she challenged.
Christopher rolled his eyes, getting into position.
"Your arms are supposed to be a bit lower," he instructed, walking behind her and pulling them downwards.
"There you go." she smiled as she repeated the move again. "Now when jumping, move the heels of your feet side to side." he smiled as she followed his lead.
Meanwhile, Hyunjin was talking with Jisung. "I just don't understand. It's been four months and she has yet to talk to me." He was heartbroken that his best friend disappeared from him.
"Maybe she's busy." Jisung suggests. "she is a trainee after all. You and I both know what that's like. Maybe she needed a break." Hyunjin wanted to believe it but something about it didn't feel right.
"Who's playing music?" Jisung soon asked, getting up with Hyunjin hot on his tail. "We just finished practice," Hyunjin replied.
"Alright now move your hips. Just like... There we go! You got it." Christopher cheered, making Y/n jump for joy.
"Now from the top." he replayed part of the song before they broke out in dance. As the next verse played, he cheered for her overall progress. "Thank you so much." she gave him a high five and pulled him in for a quick hug.
Turning off the music, they decided to celebrate. "You want lunch? I'll pay." she offered. "No need, I want to pay for you." she looked into his eyes to protest but words couldn't be formed.
It was a moment. A very sentimental moment. Chris suddenly held her face, wanting to take in her features. "You know how this will look right?" she questioned. "You are over him, aren't you?" it was his turn to question her.
"I am." she spoke truthfully. "Then there is no issue." He pressed his lips against hers, it was a sweet kiss. Gentle and subtle. He pulled away, massaging her cheeks with his thumbs.
"Heh," she chuckled shyly, playing with her locs. "You're pretty, you know?" Bang Chan suddenly said. "T-Thank you." She replied, her eyes never leaving his.
"Let's go get that lunch, yeah?" he grabbed her hand and as they began walking, they were stopped. "Y/n. Long time no see." Jisung gave a small smile, crossing his arms.
She bowed to the two men, pulling Chris by the arm as a way of saying 'get me out of here.'
"Hey boys. Y/n and I were going to head for lunch." Chris replied, normally. "Before that, can I have her for a minute?" Hyunjin grabbed her arm, pulling her back into the dance studio. "Uh-" "Let them talk. It was long overdue." Chris replied.
"Where in the HELL were you? Huh? You went four months without saying anything to any of us. Do you know how that made us feel? How it made me feel?" he pointed to himself.
"I will formally apologize to them. It's what they deserve. What I did was wrong. But honestly..." she paused, Hyunjin watching her movements. "I needed that time for myself. To get over some feelings and other things."
"Feelings?" Hyunjin questioned, confused. "My feelings for you, Hyunjin. I had to get over you," she confessed, not wanting to hide.
"I had feelings for you for a long time. The day I went to see you... That was when I was going to confess. But you have a girlfriend. So to respect me and your relationship, I didn't come around so much. And when I did, it was when I was sure you were gone." Hyunjin put his back to the wall, processing the information he just received.
"The only person who's caught me was Felix. But he promised not to say a word. And he kept his word. He was the only one that I kept in contact with. Damn... I hurt him and the boys pretty bad." she laughs a little, tearing up.
"..... I..." he didn't even know what to do.
"Don't worry. I don't like you in that way anymore. It took a while, but I finally got over you." she laughs awkwardly, wiping her face.
"Why didn't you tell me?" He turned his face towards Y/n, who was looking at the ceiling. "Regardless, we're still friends at the end of the day."
"I can't confess to my best friend that I am- was in love with him when he has a girlfriend. That's pretty fucked up and it's offensive to your girlfriend." she explained.
"That's... That's true, I guess." he agreed nonetheless. "Welp." I'll see you later." Moving away from the wall, she headed to the door.
"Wait!" She paused. "We're still friends, aren't we?" she turned around, smiling. "Best friends."
Hyunjin put up a smile as she left the room.
"You ready to go?" Chris said, interlocking their fingers. "Absolutely." She smiled, bidding them fairwell.
