The night continued on, Yuna still confused but reassured by Minjung's words. The two girls were asked to keep quiet, not telling anyone about NCT and Luna. Though they had doubts, Minjung and her friend were very grateful as to them for saving them that day.

They stayed overnight as it was a bit late to leave after calling their parents, asking to relieve theirselves from the stress today. Jisung enjoyed it especially, finding it as a chance for him to get closer to Minjung.

Yuna was in her room, opening her laptop to search the news on today's events, wanting to see what the news outlet says. She clicked on an article that was posted 4 hours ago, reading every part attentively.

At 11:34AM, 17th of July, a shooting had taken place at Resonance High. Luckily, none of the students were hurt or injured from the incident. Bodies of the figures whom started the shooting were found dead, however.

Students had ran out before anything had happened so there was no witness of what had happened. Every student was accounted for at the school field, following the words of a student who was able to calmly explain the situation.

The police are working hard on trying to find the origin of the supposed murderers to avoid an event like this happening again. Further news and updates will be posted later on.

Yuna was so focused that she didn't notice Doyoung had just entered her room, shocking her when she finally saw Doyoung who was peeking at her laptop over her shoulder.

"Don't do that!"
"Sorry, just wanted to check up on you. You okay?"

Yuna just nodded slightly before stretching her arms up, her shirt lifting a bit, revealing a sliver of her stomach. Doyoung who accidentally looked, diverted his eyes to other parts if the room, face flushing a light red hue.

"You should rest, it's 10:30"
"Nah.. I'm just gonna watch some Netflix movies, care to join?"
"Nothing better to do, I guess"

That was a straight up lie. He actually needed to finish a report on today's incident before sending it to the police as an anonymous tip off.

Yuna then got up from her desk chair, setting up a mini table on her bed before placing her laptop on it. She opened up her Netflix account before patting the space next to her on the bed for Doyoung to sit.

The two watched one comedic movie before Doyoung suggested to watch a horror movie. Yuna's hand froze, glancing at Doyoung unsure. Noticing it, Doyoung smirked.

"Don't tell me you're still scared of horror movies"
"No, I'm not. Choose one"
"Alright then. Better not scream. Everyone's probably asleep now considering it's 12"

Yuna just nodded as she watched Doyoung choose one. The movie started, both of them focusing on it, making comments from time to time.

The movie started playing eerie music, Yuna pulling up her blanket higher, only leaving her eyes uncovered before grabbing a plushy, hugging it tight. Doyoung, having watched this movie before, knew the exact timing the jump scare would happen.

Just before the jump scare happened, Doyoung slightly touched the back of her neck, causing her to jump and scream into the plushy to muffle them. Doyoung covered his mouth to silence his laughter.

After calming himself from the laughter, he realized Yuna was clinging onto his arm, face buried into his chest. He smiled slightly, closing the movie before prying her off.

"Wah..so you really are still afraid. Infamous Luna is still scared of horror movies"
"Now, I'm never falling asleep"

Yuna said as Doyoung got up, putting the mini table away along with her laptop. "I'll go now, good ni--"

Doyoung was cut off by Yuna running to him, shaking her head with widened eyes. "Don't leave. Just..just until I fall asleep, please"

Doyoung thought about it, considering the report deadline. He decided that he could probably complete it if he woke up at 7:00AM.

"Fine. Let's go"
Yuna jumped as she got back in bed, covering her body with the covers as Doyoung just laid beside her. He wrapped his arm around her waist, lighly humming as he watched Yuna's eyes slowly shut, her falling into deep slumber.

'You went through so much ever since we were teens. Starting with your mom, our friends, entering the wrong side of life and now this. You're so strong and brave. If only I could bring my own courage to just confess. It's like doing this more dangerous than getting shot'

Doyoung felt his eyes getting heavy, letting out a whisper before drifting into slumber.

"I love and care for you, I want you to know that"

"Has anyone seen Doyoung hyung? I want to know how the report is going since I need to send it in at 10"
Lucas asked as he walked into the kitchen where some of the members were eating.

"I don't know. Have you checked his room and the tech room?"
Yangyang answered sarcastically as Lucas always forgets to check the obvious places.

"In fact, I did remember to check and no, he wasn't there"
"Well, that's weird. Last thing I remember was him saying he was going to check up on Yuna"

Yuta said as he walked into the kitchen, getting himself a cup of coffee. "I'll just ask noona then. Thanks guys"

Lucas walked up the stairs before knocking on Yuna's door, receiving no answer. He peeked inside the room, finding Doyoung and Yuna all cuddled up together under the covers. His eyes widened. Holding his breath, he closed the door, running back to the kitchen.

"Are you sure that he said he was checking up on her and not sleeping with her?"
Lucas blurted out, the words coming out slightly wrong. Johnny spat out his coffee, Kun dropping his spoon, Yangyang choking on his sandwich, Yuta stopped stirring his coffee and Taeyong, who was entering the kitchen, tripped over air.

"Wait, wait, that came out wrong. They just slept, nothing more..I think. Anyway, can someone else complete the report for hyung? I don't think we should wake the two up"

Getting up, Taeyong dusted off the nonexistent dust on his pants, clearing his throat. "I'll do it then but someone go and get a picture. I lost all bribes I had on him"

Taeyong left the kitchen and entering the tech room to finish up the report. The ones left in the kitchen looked at each other.

"I'm not missing this chance on seeing Doyoung hyung soft live"
"Let's go!"

Yangyang and Johnny ran up, silently opening the door to Yuna's room. Yangyang was internally screaming at the scene in front of him, Johnny pulling out his phone while laughing to himself silently. He took a picture when the flash suddenly went off.

'Oh fuck..'
The two thought as they saw Yuna squirming, opening her eyes, seeing Johnny and Yangyang in her room, Johnny with a phone in his hand. She was about to sit up when she felt a weight on her left side, seeing Doyoung.

She then remembered what happened the night before, realizing what Johnny and Yangyang were fussing about. The two made a run for it as Yuna looked at Doyoung, shy at the thought he really had stayed with her.

She had a dream where Doyoung had suddenly whispered that he loved her. She shut her eyes, shaking her head, assuming it was just her imaginations but she couldn't help but feel it being real.

'Stop being delusional. You're his friend, of couse he'd care'

Just a filler chapter.
