"Pose," Harin commanded and I did.

We took almost a billion photos in different poses even though most of mine was smiles. In one photo, Harin demanded that I needed to do duck lips and I only looked at her in confusion so she told me to follow her.

It was unbelievably funny.

"Girls, your ride is here!" Appa shouted from downstairs which broke up our photo session.

Harin's eyes lit up and ran down the stairs in just a millisecond and jumped onto Yeonjun, wrapping her legs around his torso. I wasted no time as I was right behind her, standing next to my dad as he was giving Yeonjun a death glare.

"Bye daddy!" Harin shouted before linking her arms with Yeonjun and headed straight to the black Tesla.

"Where's your date, Aera?" my father asked cautiously.

"Here," a deep angelic voice rung out which caused my dad to furrow his eyebrows even more and tighten his grips on my arm.

I cringed, turning around to see Soobin in all black, black jeans, black t-shirt and a black leather jacket.

No surprise there.

"Choi Soobin," my father said, looking dead serious as if he had seen him before.

"Mr Jang," Soobin replied with no emotion at all.

"Take care of her," my father pointed out seriously before letting my arm go.

"With my life sir," Soobin replied as my stomach started doing back flips and my eyes widening in embarrassment.

"I can take care of myself appa," I whispered, kissing his cheek. "I'll be home soon."

"In one piece young lady," my father whispered back with a wink as I nodded with a smile.

"Shall we?" I questioned with a smile as Soobin looked down at me and nodded.

~*~*~

It was like a double date.

Yeonjun and Harin kept doing lovey-dovey things in the back seat as I was forced to sit in the passenger seat next to Soobin who was the driver. I could feel the side of my face burn with the amount of stares he was giving me when he thought I wasn't looking.

Does he know that I could literally feel his burning gaze?

The car stopped on the other side of the house that hosted the party. I could see the teenagers throw up on the front lawn and couples doing slobbering kisses. I watched Yeonjun and Harin hand in hand, walk towards the party together as I took in a breath before exiting the car to see Soobin leaning against the door.

"Aren't you going to go and enjoy the party?" I asked in confusion.

"Well I made a promise to your father and-"

"It's fine, I can take care of myself," I interrupted which made his eyes widen in shock. "Go, enjoy the night."

I didn't wait for his reply as I started making my way towards the entrance of the house where I found girls grinding on their dates just outside the house along with the blasting music. I muttered 'excuse me' through the crowd before I made it to the kitchen and looked back to see that Soobin didn't follow me. I felt a weird feeling come across my chest as I ignored it and grabbed a red plastic cup , sipping on it until my eyes fell onto a girl who was grinding on Soobin on the dance floor.

Soobin had no emotion whatsoever.

His eyes were wandering off somewhere whilst the girl was grinding on him with all her energy as I chuckled to myself. I sighed and took another cup, actually enjoying the taste as my mind went into a bit of a whirl. I made my way past the dance floor with the cup in my head until a large, unfamiliar hand grabbed my arm and pulled me aside which caused me to groan in irritation.

"Who are you?" I asked with narrowed eyebrows at a blonde haired guy with light brown eyes.

"Your knight in shining armour," he answered with an unattractive smirk.

"You're kidding, right?" I questioned, taking another sip from the cup.

"Nah," he answered, pushing me up against the wall as his lips trailed against my jawline.

My stomach churned and my eyes widened as I tried freeing myself from his strong hold. I would knee him in his junior but unfortunately, he was in between my legs. I looked to my left and realised Soobin was gone from his spot as I tried to call for help through the loud music.

"No one will hear you," the blondie whispered as he rubbed himself against me.

I rolled my eyes and just as I was about to knock my head against his, he was pulled off of me and thrown onto the floor which caused some people to gasp and back away at the figure who had saved my life. The figure threw some mean punches here and there before the blondie begged him to stop which he did after a few more punches.

I gulped in fear as the figure turned around, realising he was 6 ft tall with black hair and dark brown eyes. He wore an all black outfit as if he was part of Soobin's squad and started to approach me with an apologetic, cute smile.

"I'm sorry for the rude introduction but I'm Huening Kai,but just call me Kai" he introduced himself as he offered an arm and I took it gratefully, only wanting to get out of the stuffy hallway. "You must be Aera, Harin's step-sister."

Kai led us towards the front yard, away from the throwing up and grinding teens and to a small bench that was just located on the other side of the dark streets. He patted the seat next to him as I sat down cautiously.

"I am," I replied after clearing my throat. "How did you know?"

"It's all over Harin's Instagram," Kai answered with a light chuckle.

"Oh, it's nice to meet you Kai," I said, not looking at him at all.

"It's nice to meet you too, Aera," he replied softly as I turned around to meet his dark brown eyes. "No wonder you have caught Soobin hyung's eyes."

I frowned in confusion. "What do you mean?"

"I am not going to sing Justin Bieber's songs like Harin does," he answered putting up his hands in the air as I laughed. "I mean, he has ditched the gang night to check up on you and even asked you to a party as his date. Soobin hyung doesn't do that. At first, I thought he was out of his mind but now, I know why."

I was still confused.

"Why?" I asked, curiosity consuming me.

"Just be careful, Aera. Be careful of what you're getting yourself into if you ever fall for Soobin hyung," he dismissed my question.

I tilted my head and scoffed. "I will never fall for him."

Kai smirked and shrugged.

I have never expected the bad boy's best friend, Kai, to be like this.

Will I fall for him? I hoped not.

But then again, I wasn't the person who got to choose who I get to fall for.

My heart did.
