"ew what the fuck really?" changkyun laughed.
"well it was like a drop or two but still!", minhyuk chimed in, "since when can you just barge-"

"where's hoseok?" she cut to the chase.

"the fuck?" what about us?"
"yeah who cares about him?"
"what we ain't good enough for you?"
the boys erupt in dismay.

she rolled her eyes and took out her phone and pulled up snapchat.

hyungwon sighed, "he's at the gym with shownu." he admit at the same moment she saw the pictures, "i just sent you the address."

she looked up at him with a smile, "thank you." and with that she ran out the door.

"dude does she know that's an all guys gym?" jooheon asked.

"i'm sorry but i can't let you in there, only men are allowed beyond that point." the man at the desk spoke.
"ah! what is that?!" she screamed, pointing behind him. "what?!" he shrieked looking in that direction, she took the opportunity and ran for it. she immediately spotted shownu and he saw her too. he looked at her like a deer in headlights. hoseok was working out in front of him, so he was unaware of aria's presence.

"what?" hoseok withdrew one of his earphones,  curious as to why shownu looked the way he did. "nothing." shownu replied. hoseok bent down and held onto the metal bar of the weight in front of him. aria drew closer, shownu smiled at her before giving up his spot.

finally she stood in front of him, but he was still focused on the weight. hoseok took a deep breath and let it out before lifting the weight up- "ari?!" he gasped and immediately dropped it and fell to the ground.

"hoseok!" she knelt down next to him, "oh my god, are you okay?" he rubbed his knee for a moment before staring at her in disbelief. he blinked innocently. he couldn't believe she was there. "your hair.. it's blonde. i like it." she didn't notice it before whilst looking at his snapchat story. he sat there in silence, a slight smile crept on his face.

she cleared her throat, "can we.. talk? in private?" he nodded slowly before bringing her to the locker room, with a slight limp. she ignored the smell of boi as they sat on a bench together.

he stared at her, "i.. visited your mom today." she smiled.

"oh.. you did? uh-"
"i shouldn't have walked away from you the other day.. i didn't let you explain yourself and that was wrong of me. i hate it when we fight and i just wanted to say-"

"i'm sorry." he cut her off.
"i'm- huh?"

"i'm sorry.. i should've never lied in the group chat and i should've never yelled at you i just i.. i can't bear the thought of..ugh" he groaned. he was becoming frustrated with himself.

"take your time. i'm not going anywhere, i'm listening."

"i.. i don't want to lose you."
"hoseok you're never going to lose me.. why would you think that?"

"i-i don't know it's just- seeing you with
hyungwon i got so.. so", he searched for the right word, he sighed, "jealous."

"you were jealous?"
"yes i know it's childish, but i.. i couldn't shake it off.. i just had this feeling in my heart. it hurt, i just kept thinking that that should be me.."

aria stared at the boy wide eye'd.. did he just confess to me?

"i don't know why i've just been so scared of losing you as a best friend. it's the little things that you do that get to me, when i feel my heart beat racing that's when i pull back and scold myself.. i don't want our friendship to be ruined over stupid feelings." he covered his face with his hands and sighed.

so that's why when i held his hand he turned around and walked away.. it's because his heart was racing.. aria couldn't bite back the smile she had coming on, "they aren't stupid.. the feelings mutual."

her heart beat quickened, she couldn't believe she just said that.

"wait really?", he finally looked at her, "so you don't like hyungwon?"

"no you idiot, i thought it was obvious i like you." she chuckled whilst pinching his cheek.

hoseok blushed, they both giggled, "so-"

"oh shit did i-", they both turned towards shownu who had just walked in, "is this a bad time- um i- i'll just, i'll come back."
