next morning
miyeon's pov
i'm awakened by a persistent knocking on my door, my head throbbing from a headache. i groan and stumble to the door, finding a confused hajoon. "what?" i ask.
his eyes start searching for hyejin, but she's nowhere to be seen.
"where's hyejin? hasn't she woken up? i need to talk to her," he replies, causing me to widen my eyes at the absence of my friend.
"oh, she's in the bathroom. she just woke up and wanted to take a shower," i inform him. he nods and leaves.
where the hell are you girl??
hyejin's pov
my eyes fluttered open to find myself in an unfamiliar room, and then i noticed sunwoo stirring beside me.
his messy bedhead and dazed expression mirrored my own confusion. as we exchanged puzzled glances, my eyes drifted down, and i couldn't help but chuckle nervously at the unexpected hickeys decorating both our necks.
sunwoo, catching on, grinned. "well...ups. sorry for that" he said, chuckling, and i couldn't decide whether to blush or laugh at the unexpected turn of events.
"i should go to my room now.." i said, without making eye contact with him. was i nervous? absolutely yes.
sunwoo nodded and stared at me from top to bottom. can he just stop?
quickly dressing up, i rushed to my room, only to find an angry miyeon waiting for me. "where did you sleep last night?" she demanded, arms crossed.
"are those... HICKEYS?" she screamed after spotting the marks on my collarbone.
i put my hand on her mouth to quiet her. "quiet! i'll explain everything, okay?" i whispered as we both sat down.
"it wasn't hajoon, right? he was looking for you this morning, and i told him you were taking a shower. where were you?" miyeon anxiously waited for my answer.
sighing, i confessed, "i spoke to sunwoo last night. we started kissing, met in his room, and, you know..." i trailed off, looking down at my feet.
miyeon aggressively put her hand on her mouth, gasping. "NO WAY. YOU FU-"
"SHUT UP, JESUS!" i yelled back.
miyeon startes smiling. "i knew it! and now what?"
"what do you mean?" i asked, confused.
"well... you just slept together. what will you do now?"
"i don't knowww. i have a headache now. i can't think," i said, laying down on my bed.
"you have a headache? my head hurts like hell; it feels like someone's hitting it with a hammer. i don't even remember anything from last night," miyeon groaned.
"eric took care of you. no need to worry," i replied, making my friend's eyes widen.
"e-eric?" she asked.
"mhmm. you should thank him," i winked.
"oh. sure," she said, getting shy.
"why are you blushing?" i teased my red friend.
"i'm not! i'll go take a shower. bye!" she quickly headed to the bathroom.
i sighed and closed my eyes for a bit. miyeon was right. what am i supposed to do now after what happened?
a while later, we all met downstairs and started cooking our lunch, because it was already 12 pm and we were hungry.
i haven't spoken a word to sunwoo since we started cooking. and it was awkward. but i needed some time to think about my feelings. and him staring at me all the time, didn't help.
thank god it was cold and i could wear blouses with collar so i can cover the hickeys he left on me. i should've thought this would happen!!
we all ate while watching a movie. we were tired after last night so we didn't want to play games or anything else so we decided to step outside.
hajoon wanted to talk to me so we stayed in. "you were with sunwoo last night right?" he suddenly asked me.
"i--" i looked into his eyes, "yeah. i was."
he sadly nodded. "hajoon, i love you. so much. but we need to stop this. we're best friends, and i don't want that to ruin us, i swear. it was beautiful while it lasted, but it's got to end, joon." i took his hand in mine.
"is he worth it?" he asked, referring to sunwoo.
"what do you mean?"
"it's nothing. i just hope he'll make you happy." he nodded and smiled.
"joon, we're okay, right?"
"yes, jinny. of course. don't be silly. it's not like i'll go cry in my room because we won't kiss anymore," he laughed, and i joined in.
"come here." we hugged, and returning to our friends, we had a small talk while drinking tea.
"how's your choreography going?" juyeon asked both sunwoo and me.
"it's going great. the choreography is done, and we just need a little more practice. the contest is on friday," sunwoo replied, making me nod in agreement.
"that soon? damn. can we come there to see it?" eric asked.
"i think yes, but we'll ask the professor first and tell you after," i said.
we continued talking until evening, packed our stuff, and prepared to leave after cleaning up the house. we all got in our cars, and as we were driving back, i couldn't help but feel even more tired than before
"hyejin-ah." i heard sunwoo saying after arriving to our houses.
i turned to look at him. "see you on tuesday for practice?" he asked.
"yeah. sure." i couldn't look directly into his eyes.
he caressed my neck. "you don't need to cover them up. they're beautiful." he smirked while staring at the hickeys he made.
"yeah sure i'll tattoo them don't worry." he chuckled at my response.
"not a bad idea."
i stared at him for a few seconds but stopped. "see you on tuesday sunwoo." i left without letting him say anything.
i was so nervous! wake up hyejin please!
arriving in my sweet and comfortable bed, i get a text message on insta.
km.sunwoo
my teacher changed the contest date.
she wants us to come on tuesday..
WHAT
BUT IT'S SO SOON
i know.. it's fucked up
do you think you're ready?
are you?
i think i am. i trust you hyejin
and we practiced a lot
you're doing great and you'll be
doing even greater i'm sure of it
i'm feeling kinda nervous
but there's nothing we can do
we need to participate
i promise i'll try my best
we'll win!!
that's my girl
oh
how about we meet tomorrow too?
for a practice
we can do it in juyeon's dance room
right?
ohh yeah of course
great idea
see you tomorrow then
sleep well princess
yeah..you too sunwoo
nervousness gripped me as the contest approached, and with only one more practice session, the pressure built. our choreography is solid, but the fear of messing up is killing me.
i've never ventured into the world of dance contests; my experience has been confined to the comfort of my room and dancing with juyeon, showcasing it as a mere hobby.
dread set in as the realization hit—i'll be dancing in front of seasoned dancers!! god please don't let me mess up! the thought of disappointing sunwoo haunted me; it's something i couldn't forgive myself for. we have to win; we need to perform at that competition. the recognition sunwoo could receive means the world to him.
"you can do it, hyejin. i know you can," i reassured myself, hoping that my determination will carry me through.
