You keep turning the magazine you read, There’s nothing interasting there so you close it again. You lay on your bed as you stared at the ceiling of your room. Your parents are working and Suho haven’t come home from his college. There’s only you alone in the house.

You get out of the bed and opened the window. Your eyes widened when you looked into the window across from you. You giggled then planted your chin on your palms, “Hey, Muscle man!”

He turned to you and shocked. He quickly put on his shirt. “You surprised me,” Chanyeol smiled as he sat on the edge of his bed.

From the beginning, you’re neighboring. On the right is Chanyeol’s house and on the left is Baekhyun’s house while Your house in between their house. Your house isn’t too far from each other. Even if you want, You can go to Chanyeol’s home by using the ropes.

“Can you over to my house right now? I was alone and so bored…” You said.

“Where’s Baekhyun? He hasn’t come home?” Chanyeol raised an eyebrow, You shook your head slowly. He grinned, “What a football star..”

You laughed In agreement. Baekhyun was very fond of football.

“Okay, I’ll get there. Wait a minute,” He winked then left his room.

You closed the window and down the stairs to open the locked door. When you opened it, Chanyeol already there as he grinned to you. You shook your head in laughter and let him entered your house. The two of you went to the living room and watch a movie.

“Do you want something to eat?” You asked Chanyeol while walking into the kitchen.

“Anything.” He replied.

You brought some snacks and drinks to the Living room. You rolled your eyes when knew the movie played by Chanyeol is a horror movie. Sometimes, you like horror movies and sometimes you didn’t like it.

“Why did you watch this movie? I don’t like this.” You pouted as you sat beside him.

He turned to you and laughed, “But I like it,”

You pouted and chose to silent but watched it. You take a pillow and covered your face when the ghosts appear. But you’re curious about the movie, and put the pillow back. Suddenly, the ghost appear in the tv’s screen. You screamed and immediately hugged Chanyeol.

He was silent and just look at you who very frightened. He just wanted to put his arm around your shoulder, But you squealed as you pointed to the tv. “TURN IT OFF! I DON’T WANT TO WATCH IT AGAIN!!”

He sighed in frustration as he pulled his hand and pretended to scratch his head, “Yah, You’re a coward at all anyway.” He said and went to the tv as he turn it off.

“I told you I don’t like that movie!” You pouted.

He laughed and sat back down beside you, “What if I just back to my home now?” He teased you.

You gave him a look, “If you go to your house, I’ll go with you.”

He chuckled as he ruffled your hair, “Fine, I’ll stay here until your parents or Suho hyung come home.”

You just smiled and leaned on his shoulder, “Chanyeol, Today Kai was acting very strange…”

“What about him?” He asked as his smile faded on his face but you didn’t realize it.

“He was always afraid that I would leave him. Weird, isn’t it? Why did he think like that?” You looked at the ceiling of your house.

Chanyeol didn’t answer and also looked to the ceiling, *I’m also very scared to lose you…* He cleared his throat and replied, “Maybe it’s because he really loves you.”

You giggled, “I love him too… I also love you guys.”

“Loving us… as what?” He whispered.

“Of course as my bestfriends! What else?” You chuckled while his heart is very hurt by your words. *But I don’t love you as a bestfriend anymore. But as a girl…*

“GUYSSSS!! WHAT DID I MISS?!!” Baekhyun breaks into your house unexpectedly. The two of you are very surprised because of his act.

“BYUN, YOU STARLED ME!” Chanyeol stroked his chest.

Baekhyun just looked to you innocently and sat beside you. He took a snack and eat it, “What are you doing guys?”

“Nothing, Just watch a movie but not until the end…” You laughed.

“Horror movies again? You always be a coward, Jiwoo.” He stuck out his tongue. You hit his arm slowly while he chukled. Suddenly, he remembered when you and Kai hugged each other. His smile on his face faded.

You tilted your face, “What’s going on guys? Why are you silent all of sudden like this?”

They didn’t answer and only soluble in each other’s minds. You sighed and leaned your body on the sofa. *Did I not know about them or.. They’re hiding a secret from me…*

“Jiwoo, Who would you choose? Us, or.. Kai?” Baekhyun suddenly spoke. You and Chanyeol immediately turned to him. “What do you mean?” You gave him a puzzle look.

He was silent, then smiled at you. “…Nevermind,”

“Hey… Is there something you’re hiding from me?” You asked seriously.

They looked each other and shook their head. “Of course not…” Chanyeol mumbled.

“Why do we have to hide something from you?” Baekhyun laughed. “We’re bestfriends, right? So there’s nothing to hide.”

You laughed in agreement, “Yeah, You’re right.”

You both laughed except Chanyeol, He looked at you with a sad eyes, *I love you, Jiwoo. That’s my secret.*
