You walked down the hallway to your class for the day. History class. On this day, you would be joining Ryujin home, a class thing. You signed as the tiredness after working all night caught up with you. You had these work hours before, and every time they got to you in the end. "you look tired," A voice called softly from behind, and you stopped mid-step. "pitty though, after all. I thought we would hang out today as you and your friend come every day," Seonghwa. Why was he following you? "what is it?" you asked, turning around to face him. he had his usual smile whenever he saw you on his face.

"nothing Y/n. I'm just wondering why you might be tried. The school week isn't over yet." he then stepped closer to you and stroked your chin, moving away from a tendril of hair that had fallen out of place. "I will see you then," he said and walked away, leaving the lingering feeling of his hand on your cheek. You shook your head, snapping out of it, and made your way to the history class.

Going into the classroom, you saw only a few students there, and the teacher was nowhere to be seen. "ah Y/n," Lisa called from her seat and beckoned you over. You walked to her, glancing over at Seonghwa, him smiling as your eyes met. "what took you so long?" Lisa snickered. "uh, I was delayed," you said, and Lisa nodded, but you saw the suspiciousness glint in her eyes. Why did you lie to her more and more often now? You were best friends and usually told each other everything. But now you felt like you didn't want to do that. Something held you back. "meet me outside of school" Ryujin's voice came from beside you, and you twisted your head to face her.

She gave you a small smile and then turned back to whatever she was doing. "weird that she's so polite to you now..." Lisa trailed off in a whisper, and you nodded. "want to talk after you've come home today?" she then said, and the two of you engaged in a small talk until the teacher came. I hope everything will go well today... you thought.

"OK, let's start," you said as you sat down on teh couch. "OK, I will fix us some drinks," Ryujin said, walking into the kitchen. Suddenly two arms wrapped around your waist, and you whipped your head to see Soobin looking at you with a small smile. "hey, im sorry if I'm invading your personal space," he said and pulled away, leaving you to roll your eyes. "it's OK don't do it again." you said, and Soobin nodded. Ryujin then came in with two drinks in her hands. "hey, what about mine?" Soobin pouted, and Ryujin rolled her eyes. "no, you're not even welcome here," she hissed, and you flinched at her tone. Soobin only sighed and moved away from the couch to another place. "OK, let's start," Ryujin said, sitting beside you.

You nodded, and together, you two started on the project.

-1-2 hrs later-

"well, we used half of my day, but we're done," Ryujin said. You nodded. "yeah, but maybe we could do more things..." you trailed off then glanced at Ryujin, who raised a brow, amused. "you and your working. Take a break; sometimes it's not healthy to work all the time to perfection, you know," she said and patted your shoulder. you sighed and saved the work and closed the computer. "well, what are we going to do now?" Soobin said and walked over to you two, plopping down beside you. Ryujin sighed and shrugged. "it's late, and if you want, you can stay here," she offered to you, making you look at her with surprise. she raised her hands "what? I'm not that bad if you get to know me you know" you chuckled . "yeah you're right. I'm sorry, I'm just not used to people asking or doing kind things to me. I'm... a nerd, as you call it, and we don't get much attention. Or the good kind," you sighed, and Soobin placed his head on your shoulder for comfort. Oddly enough, it helped, and you didn't feel sad anymore.

"I'll get some sleeping clothes and a mattress," Ryujin said and walked away, leaving you and Soobin. "do you feel better?" he asked, moving his head away from your shoulder and looking into your eyes. You nodded but didn't say anything. what is this feeling? Do I like him? no, I want Yeonjun. You shook your head to get the thoughts out of your head, and at that moment, Ryujin came back with a duvet, pillows, and a mattress. You stifled a chuckle at her bearing so many things. "shall I help" you stood up. She only huffed and handed you the pillows and duvet. "wow, you don't have to do this for me, you know," you said as you placed the things onto the floor. "why not? If you want to hang with us, we have to treat you as one of us now," she said, looking at Soobin.

He smiled and nodded. "let's talk before we go to bed, though," Ryujin said, and the 3 of you talked until you ll felt sleepy.
