third pov :: baek eunju
A dissatisfied sigh passed Eunju's lips as she looked at herself in her full length mirror.
She wore a simple, pale green dress that was dotted with white flowers that stopped just above her ankles. She paired it with a white cardigan that went to her waist and white socks with a pair of low top, black Dr. Martens.
She looked more than beautiful, yet the Baek girl struggled to see it. She felt self conscious in the dress as it hugged at her curves and she contemplated on changing the outfit completely.
Though, before she could make a decision, her bedroom door was abruptly opened by her sister, Iseul, walking in on her phone.
Eunju rolled her eyes slightly at her sister's behavior, before she turned her body away from the mirror to face Iseul.
"Seul," She began with slumped shoulders, not having much confidence in herself. "Does this look okay?" Eunju asked, and her sister looked up from her device — Smiling almost instantly once her eyes landed on the older girl.
"You look amazing." Iseul practically gasped. "Oh my gosh, Eunju, have you suddenly gotten stylish overnight?"
Eunju rolled her eyes yet again, but she couldn't help but chuckle at her sisters joke.
"Thanks... I guess." She shook her head slightly and turned back to the mirror to fix her straightened hair.
"But all jokes aside, you do look very pretty, and I'm sure Sunghoon, who's downstairs right now waiting for you, would be blown away." Iseul stated honestly.
Instantly, Eunju's eyes widened and she spun around in shock. "Sunghoon's downstairs?" She questioned and Iseul simply nodded.
"Oh gosh..." Eunju uttered beneath her breath as she rushed to gather her things into her handbag.
Once finished, Eunju was quick to leave her bedroom and hurry down the stairs.
She was worried what her youngest sister, Chaeyoung would try and get Sunghoon to do with her, because knowing Chaeyoung, she probably would've tried to do the boys makeup again, and considering they're going on a double 'date', the doll makeup wouldn't be ideal.
But, once she was downstairs, she couldn't help but have a warm heart at the sight.
There, Chaeyoung sat on the dining room table as Sunghoon attempted to brush and braid her hair.
It was a cute view and Eunju smiled widely as she approached them, clearing her throat slightly to grasp their attention.
The two turned around in unison, and Sunghoon couldn't help but allow his mouth to open ever so slightly at the sight of the girl, and Chaeyoung grinned from ear to ear with excitement as she stood up on the table.
"You look so pretty, Eunju." Chaeyoung complimented as she wrapped her arms around Sunghoon's neck for him to hold her — Which he did.
"I agree." Sunghoon nodded, looking her up and down.
"Thank you." Eunju smiled. "You look good also."
She wasn't lying.
He was clad in a pair of simple, black trousers and a white t-shirt that he'd tucked into his bottoms, with a denim jacket on top, and a pair of converse that went almost perfectly with his outfit. His black hair was done neatly, yet casually as it parted in the center, revealing his forehead.
Eunju couldn't help but stare for a moment as Sunghoon placed Chaeyoung back down to the floor. He looked way too attractive for Eunju to even comprehend, and now she was beginning question why she thought he looked this good.
Was it because of his outfit? Or was it just because it was Sunghoon?
She didn't know, and she didn't want to find out.
Eventually, after Sunghoon had teared himself away from Chaeyoung, the two left the house and began to make their way down the path to the bus stop.
It was silent at first, but it was comfortable. The two enjoyed one another's company and if a conversation didn't strike, then they didn't mind.
"Sunghoon..." Eunju called out just above a whisper, easily capturing the boys attention.
He looked down at her with furrowed brows of confusion.
Why was she whispering?
"Yeah?" He whispered back, on the verge of chuckling, but as Sunghoon examined the girls face more, he couldn't help but notice a glint of fear.
"I think someone is following us." She told him, glancing behind her to look at the person dressed in black that had followed the couples every move.
Sunghoon silently copied Eunju, but before he could get a good enough look, he was lightly hit on the arm.
"Don't look at the same time as me, they'll tell we're catching onto what they're doing." Eunju explained quickly in a hushed tone.
The girls heartbeat quickened at the sound of the strangers footsteps speeding up and so, without another doubt, Eunju swiftly linked her arm with Sunghoon's one and walked closely with him.
All Sunghoon could do was softly chuckle at her behavior and allow her to hold onto him for dear life as he tucked his hands into his pockets.

Eunju sat in silence as she waited for the bus to arrive. Embarrassment filled her veins as Sunghoon's laughter filled her ears.
"You looked so silly." Sunghoon pointed out and Eunju rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest.
"He looked sketchy, how else was I meant to feel?" Eunju huffed out.
It turns out that the stranger that Eunju thought was following them was simply just a jogger that was enjoying the sunset. He'd jogged right past the duo, sending them warming smiles before getting on with his day, leaving Eunju embarrassed with her behavior.
Not long after Eunju and Sunghoon had been sat at the bus stop, it eventually arrived and they stepped on, Sunghoon paying their fee after Eunju insisted she could pay for her own.
Though, as they began to walk down the isle, they soon came to the realization that sitting wouldn't be an option for them because every seat had been taken.
"Looks like we'll have to stand." Sunghoon announced, reaching his hand up to hold onto the handle above him.
But, before Eunju had the chance to hold onto anything, the driver had already began the journey, jolting the bus as he began to drive, causing Eunju to quickly lose her balance and stumble backwards.
However, before the Baek girl could stumble into anyone or onto the floor, Park Sunghoon was quick enough to wrap his arm around her waist and pull her close to him; preventing her fall.
Eunju stood close to Sunghoon as a blush creeped onto her cheeks. Her face was almost touching his white t-shirt and if she was to look up, then her lips would graze against his exposed neck.
"Thanks..." She breathed out, refusing to look up at him.
Sunghoon nodded his head, remaining silent as he bit down on his bottom lip ever so slightly and looked out of the large window to try and distract himself from the close proximity.

Neither Sunghoon or Eunju had noticed that the boy kept his hand wrapped tightly around her waist until they were due to get off of the vehicle; Nevertheless, none of them seemed to mind the physical contact.
"Sunghoon! Eunju!" The two heard the yells of Sarang as they approached the lit up arcade.
Sarang stood waving to grab their attention in a white skirt and a pretty, pink crop top, with white, low top converse. She looked as beautiful as ever and Eunju couldn't help but feel self conscious as they got closer.
Standing not too far away from Sarang was Heeseung, leaning against the wall with his hands shoved into his green bomber jacket pockets. He had on a pair of denim jeans and a white top, along with white Air Force and it had Eunju almost drooling.
Her eyes had 'Amazement' written in them as she looked the boy up and down in awe, but she was quickly burst from her awestruck bubble by Sarang, who excitedly linked her arm with her own while the two best friends dabbed one another up.
The four soon headed inside, where the sound of many machines swarmed their hearing and children and other couples rushing around came into their eye sight.
"This is going to be such a great night." Sarang stated, unlinking her arm from Eunju, and moving back to hold onto Heeseung's arm, before dragging him further into the building.
Eunju sighed as she watched the couple disappear down an isle. Oh, how she wished to be Sarang...
The girl was cut from her trail of thoughts by Sunghoon taking a step forward beside her.
The two shared eye contact and a smile, before he reached for her hand and linked their fingers, then leading her into the arcade and after Heeseung and Sarang.
