They all sat in the lounging area, and it was AWKWARD.
"Why'd you guys even fight?" Y/n asked.
"Haruto kissed Cheolie's girl." Chaewon replied.
"Stop calling him that!" Haerin yelled, almost being surprised at herself for saying that.
"She's not his girl anymore," Haruto said.
Y/n's POV
"Whatever, it doesn't matter." I said. "Just quit fighting near Danielle."
"He swung first," Haruto added.
"Why aren't we talking about the fact that Haerin left Cheolie like he was nothing?" Chaewon said. "I'm crazy disappointed in you, Haerin."
"Hey hey hey now," Haruto defended. "Don't be mad just because Haerin knew how good of a boyfriend I am."
This caused a lot of commotion.
"Y/n, you realise that you're on the wrong side, right?" Chaewon said. "This is the same guy that tried to hook up with your girlfriend."
"I'm not ditching Haruto, he's my middle school best friend." I answered.
"Cheol and Chaewon were your friends too, no?" Eunchae said.
"Friends that kick Y/n's ass 24/7," Minji muttered.
"Cheolie kicked Haruto and Y/n's ass because they deserved it." Chaewon said.
"How did I deserve it at all?" Haruto said.
"Are you fucking stupid?!" Eunchae yelled.
"Settle down!" I yelled. "Danielle's asleep."
They all looked to see Danielle in my arms, out cold. And they collectively shushed.
I rubbed my cheek onto Danielle's and she relaxed.
Haerin then snuggled into Haruto's arms. She looked rather unhappy.
"Yah! Kang Haerin, let me speak with you in private actually," Chaewon commanded.
"I- I don't wanna," Haerin replied, looking up at Haruto.
"You don't have a choice," Chaewon said.
"I think you better go," Haruto said.
Haerin showed a look of sadness and went with Chaewon.
Haerin's POV
I was extremely afraid to speak to Chaewon. I could barely feel my feet as I walked, and my knees kept trembling. Haruto wasn't of any help either.
"Haerin, what's happened to you?" Chaewon asked in a new tone.
"Wh-what do you mean?" I said.
"You were so in love with Cheolie, now look." She said.
"Cheolie didn't like me, he never talked to me or did things like calling me pretty. I'm not good enough for him...." I said.
Chaewon smacked me over the head.
"You don't need to call somebody pretty to love them!" She scolded. "It's just because he's too shy to say anything, especially around somebody like you."
Shy? That doesn't seem like Cheolie at all. What did she mean by somebody like me? Was I really that special to somebody as good and great as Cheolie?
"W-what does that mean?" I asked quietly.
"He talked about you nonstop, you can see his face change when he thinks about you. If that isn't love, I don't know what is." Chaewon said. "Cheolie's love language isn't words. It's physical touch."
"But Haruto's touch is different to Cheolie's." I said.
"How so?" Chaewon asked.
"Well umm.. Haruto's is cool, but warm at the same time, and Cheolie's is much hotter, and makes me feel lightheaded and dazed. Cheolie's touch makes me feel like I lose strength and all shaky. Sort of pressuring and scary." I described.
Chaewon smacked me over the head again.
"Idiot!! That means you like Cheolie!" She said.
"Really?" I said, rubbing my head.
"Yes," She facepalmed. "When you like somebody, you get fluttery and fuzzy around them, right?"
"Why do Haruto's words make me feel weird though?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" She got intrigued.
"When Haruto talks, it's like he's persuading me." I said.
"Hmmm..." Chaewon thought about it. "I may have an idea, but I'll need to ask Y/n. Just think about our conversation."
"Will you stop calling him Cheolie then?" I asked.
"Deal." Chaewon said, shaking my hand.
We returned to the rest of the group. Chaewon went to whisper something to Cheolie.
"Okay, it's pretty obvious we don't get along here." Minji said.
"Yeah, 'cuz Haerin's new boyfriend is a pervert," Cheolie muttered under his breath.
"What's up? What're you tryna do?" Haruto stood up.
"Haven't you learned your lesson yet?" Eunchae shook her head.
"H-Haruto, stop it." I said.
"Hey, we're back at it already!" Minji yelled. "If you can't get along, I'm going to force you all to get along. You're all coming back with us. NO QUESTIONS ASKED!"
We all grunted and groaned, getting up.
We went in separate cars, and fatigue hit me in the car. I started drifting off to sleep.
I woke up in the living room in Haruto's arms. Everybody was awkwardly sitting around, sharing sharp looks and tapping their feet.
"Hey, you're awake," Haruto whispered.
"Hello," I opened my eyes.
He started caressing my face.
"Cheol over there, he's quite an ass, huh?" He whispered.
I looked over and Cheolie was sat on his own with his elbow holding him up, death staring at us and clenching his fists.
Minji, Y/n and Danielle walked into the room.
"Look! The stage incident has already gone viral." Minji showed us her phone. "We're trending at #1."
"So? What does that mean?" Eunchae asked.
"This boosted us greatly, in many ways." Minji explained. "We've gained many new listeners, and lots of acknowledgment. Well done, Haerin. Your relationship is now public."
"See that? You're getting popular," Haruto whispered, staring back at Cheolie. "I'm so proud, Jagi,"
He then leaned down and kissed me. I cringed a little.
Cheolie then pounced up from his seat, and so did Haruto, as if he was expecting it.
The two stand there, facing each other off.
"Hey! NO." Minji stopped them, dividing them with her arms. "What did I say?"
"I don't give a shit, what's stopping me from killing this guy right now?" Cheolie said aggressively.
"All of us." Y/n chirped in.
Cheolie scoffed.
"I could wipe out every single one of you." He said.
"Oh yeah? Wanna put that to the test?" Y/n took their jacket off.
"Guys! Guys," Chaewon stepped in. "Just sit down, everyone."
"Sit down right now!" She ordered, and Cheolie sat down.
"Look, I know we hate each other, but we don't need to fight all the time." She said.
Haruto sat back down, and picked me up again. Is he just using me to make Cheolie mad now?
Cheol's POV
I sit and watch the two. My leg is tensing up, and it keeps tapping on the floor. I just want to kick the shit outta that guy.
"Hey," Hyein walked over and placed her hand on my lap. "Relax."
Hyein's been acting a little different lately. I don't know if it's because they haven't been including her as much, because I'm definitely seeing it happen, or if it's because of the kiss we had.
"I can't," I said. "Just look over there."
She looked over at them, and sat down with me.
"Don't show it, he's just trying to piss you off." She said.
I usually hide it, but I can't this time. My blood is boiling, and I feel like I'm about to explode.
She then pushed me back on my seat, and climbed on top of me.
"Seriously. Chill out," she said. "Here, does this make you feel better?"
It kinda did.
"No, it doesn't. Move." I lied.
"Your face doesn't say that." She teased. "Just kidding... I'm going to my dorm room."
She climbed off of me and left.
"Hey," Minji whispered to me. "Danielle's birthday is coming soon, but keep it a secret. We're going to surprise her, she thinks that everyone's forgotten."
"So? What's it got to do with me?" I said.
"If you help us surprise her, it would be great and mean a lot to her and Y/n." She said. "No party poppers, also."
"Yeah whatever." I said.
"I'm serious. Things haven't been easy for her these days." Minji said.
"Okay okay, I will." I said.
She thanked me and went back to talking with Chaewon.
Chaewon and Minji are awesome as a duo. They're like two mothers. The parents.
I redirect my attention to Haerin, and the two of them are making out.
"Eww, seriously get a room." Hanni commented.
This was it. I'm done. I'm fucking done. I can't stand it anymore.
I stand up and Haruto braces for impact, but I just leave, and they continue making out.
I hear a tiny bit of fuss, and walk upstairs to find Hyein.
