I walk over to Hoseok's house with Oliver on his new leash while he's wearing his new collar that is blue. He trots along as his little paws hop naturally as his little head bobs. I knock on his door. It takes a while for him to open the door. "I'm so sorry.. I didn't know you were coming at this time.. I would have liked to look decent at least." He says. My eyes widen as I spot his hard toned abs with his pajama pants barely on his hips.

I look away feeling my face heat up to the highest temperature ever. Oliver gladly walks inside without question or demand. "Oh.. I'm sorry.." He says turning his back to me. I walk in and sit on his couch facing my back to him as well. "I'm just going to go put on a shirt real quick.." He says. I nod as if he was looking at me, "okay." Is all I can say. God. You're making this so hard for me to make up my mind. Why!? I can't get his skin out of my mind at the moment.

Sunny walks over to me and puts her head on my lap. I pet her white soft coat what was scattered with black spots. Her piercing hazel eyes look into mine. Oliver was too busy playing with the leash that was still connected to his collar.

"Sorry about that." He says walking out of the hall way as he ruffled his hair out of his eyes. My ass, you knew what you were doing. I smile at him. "It's no problem. I shouldn't have come so early. I just don't know what to do about the date." I confess. He stops in his tracks, his bare feet had stopped making a thumping sound against the rich hard wooded floors. "You gonna wear that? Maybe that'll scare him off." He chuckles before walking into the kitchen.

I look down at what I'm wearing, not remembering what I had dressed myself up in this morning. An over sized hooded sweater with baggy black sweats wearing my hair up in a bun and my flip flops. I chuckle. "No. I'm not wearing this.. I was thinking that it wouldn't be fair if I didn't make an effort." I say. He stops with what he's doing. "I get what you're saying." He says taking out two mugs.

"It would be in a way..." He pauses and squints as be smacks his hands together. "Disrespectful.. And unfair." I nod in agreement. "Yes. That's what I was thinking." I say from the couch. He pats a stool that is at his island in his kitchen. I walk over to sit down. "Do you like your coffee dark or light?" He asks. I think. "Light." I say. He smiles and nods, "good choice."

**

"No. But like... What were they like?" I ask him. He bites his lip. "My friends.. They.." He runs his fingers though his hair. "I'd have to say that they were very crazy.. And very weird. But, I'm happy I had them." He smiles. "They were like brothers to me. And it makes me grateful I had them." I smile. "So where are they now?" I ask. He looks away from me as he sips his coffee.

"I honestly don't know.. After the incident.. We all went our separate ways. And it feels like that all the stuff we went through together, never happened." He says his eyebrows knitting together. I frown, I'm tempted to ask what was the incident was.. But I shant intrude "How long haven't you seen them?" I ask. He looks at me as his eyebrow goes up. "Twelve years?" He asks, unsure himself. I look at him in amazement and in complete shock. "Twelve years?" I ask.

He nods. I look down at my mug, my finger gliding along the rim of the glossy tan clay mug. He's about to answer me when there's a knock at his door.

"Please excuse me." He says, and I nod giving him approval.. I mean not that he needed any because this is his house... You know what? Never mind. "Yah! Nari ah! What brings you here today?" He asks. She doesn't seem to notice my existence. "Um.. I wanted to ask you if you..." I'm totally wrong.. Oh God how I was wrong. "Faith?" She asks peeking into the house. She let's herself in, but Hoseok doesn't seem to mind.

"Ah! Nari! Its such a pleasure to see you again! How have you been?" I ask truly meaning it, even though I know she doesn't like me. She throws me a huge smile. "Oh.. You know the shop and what not.. But I usually open late on Saturdays." I tilt my head. "Oh? I didn't know you owned the shop." I say. She nods. "I do.. How's little Oliver?" She asks. I point to Oliver and Sunny sleeping together, Oliver laying in a little space on top of Sunny as she's snug in a perfect circle.

"Cute." She smiles. She then turns to Hoseok who is barely walking into the kitchen. "Can I.. Talk to you.." She peeks over her shoulder at me a bit. "Um.. Sure.." He says sounding unsure of his answer. They leave the room and I'm alone in the kitchen sipping on my coffee. The house is extremely quiet, and I can almost hear them talking.

"I was.. Wondering if you'd..." Her voice trails into a low whisper I can't figure out. "I can't tonight.... I have to..." Is all I hear him say. "Please.. I really... You.. A lot." I hear her say. He let's out a breath. "Only a... And that's it.. Because we're... And.. You're my.." He answers.

I sip loudly on my coffee not wanting to listen any longer. Finally after they're done talking they enter the kitchen. She throws me a smile. "So Faith what do you do?" She asks. I look down at my cup. "I work for Lean Industry." Her smile quickly goes away and she straight up dogs me. Her nose wrinkling and her eyes judging like the first day I met her. "You work for Heon? That piece of shit man that's ruined many lives? Why!?" She asks.

I stand up and smack my hand on the island making Hoseok look at me startled. "Look. NARI." I say her name in the most annoying way I can, making sure to pronounce every letter. Her arms cross like she knows she's pissed me off but she can care less, a smirk plays on her red painted lips that makes me even more mad.

"I've heard enough shit okay? About what I do. I don't need to hear shit from a person I don't know, let alone don't really care about. You can fool Hoseok all you want with your fake smiles but you can't fool me." I say walking towards the door. "Hoseok! You're going to let her talk to me like that!?" She asks in a whine. "Faith!" He runs after me as I exit his house not even caring about her childish pleads. I walk out to the sidewalk and start to head home.

"Faith!" I turn to look at him. "What was that about? Are you okay?.. Look.. I've known Nari for almost my whole life.. And.. She's just one of those people that speaks her mind.. So if you'd forgive her." He pleads. I stare at him for a while, wondering why the hell he'd be defending her. Then I remember.. He hates my father too. And I don't plan on telling him anytime soon. "Fine." I say simply. He tilts his head.

"Look Faith.. I really am sorry if I've said anything that's offended you when I.." I throw a hand up to stop him. "No.. Don't worry about it.. Its nothing. I should go.. Shawn will be picking me up soon." I tell him. His face drops into a flat expression. "Oh.. I understand..." He says. I turn away, looking over my shoulder to talk to him. "Bye.. Hoseok.." I tell him. "Bye.." He says. As I'm walking I feel his gaze burn into my skin.

"You won't forget our deal will you!?" He calls out cutely. I turn as I walk backwards. "Of course not!" I yell back. He smiles and nods.

A/n: the outfit Faith is wearing on her date with Shawn ;) just so you can imagine it :D

**

I smooth my hands along the soft lace of my dress. I had curled my hair and put on some make up. I look at the time. 8:50. I grab my cutest hand bag and heels. Just then there's a knock on the door. I slip on my heels and walk over to the door. I open it. My heart stops. "Hoseok.. What are you doing here?" I ask him. He just stares at me dumb struck. "Huh?" He asks shaking his head and looks me in the eyes.

"What are you doing here? Is Oliver okay?" I ask him, he nods in response. "I came to get his food. He refuses to eat Sunny's.. Which is weird because he eat that food yesterday." He says. "Oh! Yeah." I turn to the kitchen and he follows me. I open the cabinet and hand him the bag. His hands holding onto mine for a couple of seconds, sending chills through my body. He smiles and nods then heads back to my door and stops on my door step.

"You look very beautiful.. Just to tell you.." He says turning to leave. "Thank you.." I tell him. He shoots me a smile and nods.

**

It takes about ten minutes for Shawn to arrive at my house with a knock at the door. I turn off the lights in my house making sure that I have my keys. I open the door. And there he is, in a suit and tie with a pretty rose in his hand. His hair slicked back, the way it looked nicest on him, and that amazing smile. His smile goes away and he just stares at me. I lock the door behind me and I look at him scared that I've done something wrong.

"You okay? What's wrong?" I ask him as I take a step closer to him. "You're so gorgeous." He says mindlessly as I walk up to him. I feel my face heat up. "Th-thank you Shawn.. You look very handsome." He smiles. "For you." He says handing me the rose. I smile and gladly take it from him. "Thank you." I say. He offers a hand and I take it. So far this is going very well. He leads me to a black car that seems to be escorting us to where ever Shawn has planned.

He opens the door for me to go in first, once I sit he joins me and closes the door behind him and looks at the driver and nods. Then we're off to God knows where. I find myself smelling the rose that smelt like something you'd only smell in dreams. I find myself falling into the path I had promised Hoseok I wouldn't..

**

"So tell me more about you.. What do you like to do besides painting and being beautiful?" He asks. My face heats up for the hundredth time today. "Well I got a dog.. That's something new in my life so far." I tell him as we walk through a small garden in the dark with our stomachs full with very rich and expensive food Shawn paid for. His eyebrows go up. "Oh really? What's it's name? Breed?" He asks peering down at me as the light makes his eyes sparkle.

I nod. "His name is Oliver and he's a beagle. Only a few months old." I tell him. He smiles. "How about you? Any pets?" He looks up to the sky revealing his sharp jaw line as he shakes his head. "I'm allergic to some kinds of animals." He says. I frown. "Oh.." And it makes me wonder if he'd be allergic to my little Oliver. He looks at me sad. "Dogs happen to be one of them.." He frowns. Should this be a turn off for me? But I'm starting to really like him.

"I hope that doesn't make you want to not be around me.. I really like you Faith.." He says. I look back at him with a small smile, I shake my head. "No. You can't help it." I tell him. He then smiles. A cold breeze runs though the atmosphere making me wish I brought a jacket. "Here.." He says taking his off and wrapping it around my body. "You didn't have to." I tell him. He chuckles.

"Do you know the real reason guys wear jackets on late night dates?" I shake my head, I have to clue. "Because we hope our date gets cold so we can see them in our clothes." He steps closer to me. "Because.. It makes them look extremely cute... More than they already are..." He says. I smile and look up at the stars. "Thank you.." I say looking back down at him. "For the jacket." I add. He smiles. "Shall I take you home?" He asks.

And for some reason when he asks this.. I think of Hoseok. I nod slightly. "Please?" I ask a bit unsure. He chuckles. "Okay."

**

I look at him, my cheeks burning. "Good night Faith." He says as he inches closer to me. I close my eyes ready for his lips to make contact with mine, but they don't. Instead, he kisses my cheek. Which is just as sweet, and makes my heart flutter. He pulls away and looks into my eyes. He nods and touches my chin with his thumb. "Have sweet dreams." He says. "Good night.." Is all I'm able to peep out. He smiles and turns to the car and waits for me to go inside before he leaves.

I lean against my door for a little bit, thinking about tonight.. Just then. I think about Hoseok. I run to my closet and grab a coat.

My heart still screams his name after an amazing date like that, I like Shawn but not as much as I like Hoseok.

**

I turn the corner to his house with a smile on my face and my pounding heart. I stop in my tracks, my smile instantly goes away and my heart stops. Its Nari and Hoseok, his back is to me and Nari facing me. I can't seem to move. "Hoseok.. You know how I feel for you.. Right?" She asks as she inches closer to him, and he doesn't move. He just nods in response. She then catches a glimpse of me and throws me the ugliest smirk ever.

"What?" He asks curious about to turn and look my way but her hand catches his cheek forcing him to continue to look at her. Her expression becomes sentimental once again, like she's rubbing it in my face. "Hoseok.." She says in a low plead as she inches closer to him. And I'm completely surprised when he meets her half way. My eyes water uncontrollably and I walk back to my house, pulling my coat close to my body feeling completely broken.

**

I lay in bed. My tears still falling out of my stupid cry baby eyes. "He thinks of her as a sister my ass." I say in a low murmer as I talk to myself. I pull my blanket over my face and cry more. "Have sweet dreams." Echoes in my head. My tears suddenly stop to the thought of Shawn. And I'm happy that the date went well. I wipe my tears and slowly fall asleep.
