Yeona wakes to her alarm, and sits up straight in her bed. She stifles a scream as she sees that she is not alone, and watches as Jonghyun rubs his eyes as he sits up too.

"Good morning, Yeona." he smiles

"Good morning to you, too!" she replies

"Taemin is never going to shut up if he finds out I slept here last night." Jonghyun laughs

"I'm already dreading him finding out." Yeona responds

Jonghyun laughs, and Yeona laughs with him, the two of them in a dream-like haze as they stare into the others' eyes. Both of them feeling crazy, for the feelings they are experiencing, nervous, excited, it's all so new.

Yeona stands up, and walks to the bathroom to brush her teeth. She grabs a spare toothbrush and holds it out for Jonghyun to use, it's still in its packet, unopened. They brush their teeth together, and then Yeona picks out some clothes before leaving Jonghyun sitting at her desk as she showers and gets dressed for the day ahead. Yeona exits the bathroom, and sees Jonghyun staring at her.

"Can I kiss you?" Jonghyun asks

Yeona only nods, and without a second to even think about it, Jonghyun is at her side, and they press their lips together. Soft, and gentle, Yeona runs her hands through his hair and pulls their kiss deeper. Jonghyun is breath taken, thinking that Yeona's lips are softer than they already looked. They kiss for what feels like an eternity, until eventually Yeona pulls back to catch her breath.

"I should probably get back to my dorm to shower. I'll meet you at 3?" Jonghyun asks

"I'll be counting down the minutes." Yeona replies

Yeona walks with Jonghyun to the door, and stands to watch him pull his shoes on. He turns to face her once his laces are tied, and she leans forward to kiss him once more. They both blush at the exchange, butterflies flying mad in their stomachs.

"I'll see you in a few hours." Jonghyun repeats

He wraps his arms around her, and Yeona melts into his embrace. Jonghyun kisses her softly on the forehead, before he opens the door and exits her room. Yeona leans back against the wall, exhilarated by the events of the last two days. Kissing someone before a first date is new to her, but everything just feels so right, she couldn't imagine it being any different.

Yeona enters her sociology class, and walks up the back to take the empty seat next to Taemin. She notices him staring at her, and cocks her head to the side in confusion.

"What?" she asks

"You're late, that's not like you." he replies

"I slept in." she states

"You're lying." he says

Yeona doesn't respond, instead opening her textbook and the notebook full of notes made by her and Jonghyun last night. She skim-reads the page, attempting to memorise it all in preparation for the test that they have tomorrow.

"That's Jonghyun-hyung's handwriting." Taemin says

"No it's not." Yeona lies

"It is! I see it every day! You were with him!" Taemin insists

"Fine, I was." she admits

"Tell. Me. Everything!" Taemin shrieks

Yeona covers her face, as she sees half the class turn around to stare at the pair, their teacher silencing them with a point of her finger. Yeona groans in desperation, wishing to have just a little bit of privacy, but knowing Taemin well enough that she knows she won't get any.
