The next morning was extremely awkward.

I stretched my arms out while sitting up on my bed. Haechan was already awake and scrolling through his phone while sitting in the corner. His hood was up and covering most of his face. Johnny woke up not much later, and death stares were already burning in each other's direction.

Why such a fuss over my sister? Is she really that special?

Breakfast wasn't any better. Haechan and Johnny sat at opposite ends of the table. All the seats were filled up before Hyunji came out. The only free space was next to Haechan. She awkwardly slid onto the chair, giving a couple of fake coughs.

"You might want to get that cold checked on," Jaemin said, buttering his toast.

Our parents were already headed off to work, but had breakfast laid out on the kitchen counter for us to pick through. We all silently munched on our food. This awkward tension made me nervous and uncomfortable. It's scary, but I guess that fits the Halloween mood?

Hana leaned over. "This is weird," she whispered almost silently to me. Mi-Cha, who sat across from us, nodded in agreement, just catching what she said.

Chenle scooted out his chair, accidentally knocking the back against Jueun's elbow as she was taking a sip of orange juice. The liquid spilled all the way down her light gray shirt.

"Goddammit, Lele," Jueun muttered as she abruptly stood up while slamming the cup onto the table. Her fork was then knocked onto the floor. Chenle bent down to pick it up, but Jueun was doing the same. When coming back up, the back of Chenle's head collided with Jueun's chin.

They both looked at each other in shock, clamping a hand over the spot that was hit. All of our eyes wandered to their hands, both clutching the fork.

Jaemin was already back with a roll of paper towels. He stopped walking, seeing Jueun and Chenle's eye contact and hands holding the same fork. "Oh, well, I'll just leave these towels right here for when you two finish your little moment."

Chenle dropped his hand from the fork, looking down. His cheeks were a vibrant pink and he looked incredibly embarrassed. Even Jueun was speechless.

Hyunji's P.O.V

"Oh God, I'm such an idiot!" Jueun grunted after all the guys retreated to Jisung's room, and us girls went back to mine. "I should've just let him grab the fork. Why did I have to have my elbow sticking out so much while drinking orange juice? WHY COULDN'T I HAVE BEEN LADY LIKE AND KEPT MY ELBOW CLOSE!"

"Sh," I hushed Jueun. She huffed, falling backward onto my bed. "Don't get upset. Hey, didn't you see his cheeks turn red when you both held eye contact?"

Jueun's hands covered her face. "He probably saw mine."

"Awe." Hana plopped down onto the bed next to the fallen Jueun, stroking her head like a cat. "You and Chenle are going to be a really cute couple like Mi-Cha and Jaemin, or Hyunji and-" Hana cut off, seeing my disappointed face. She bit the inside of her cheek unable to finish.

"Yeah, you probably shouldn't add the whole Hyunji and Haechan one in there." I let out a weak and breathy laugh, but it didn't sound fine at all.

"Hyunji, he'll come around," Mi-Cha told me, rubbing my arm comfortingly. I didn't make eye contact with her. I just watched Jueun as she started hitting her own face with a pillow.

"Maybe," Mi-Cha continued, "you can try to explain it more to him at the Halloween party tonight. We can find a better guy for Johnny, too. Once Haechan sees Johnny flirting with guys, it'll put sense back in him. 'Operation Get-Johnny-A-Better-Guy-While-Restoring-Hyunji-And-Haechan's-Relationship'. Then everyone can be happy. We can throw in 'Push-Jueun-And-Chenle-Closer' too."

A weird, distraught noise came from under the pillow over Jueun's face.

Jeno's P.O.V

Never in my life with this group have I seen behavior quite like what was happening. Chenle was speechless and his face was flushed. Haechan wasn't cracking jokes and has had his hood up all morning. Johnny won't say anything either. Morning Renjun has never looked so fresh-

I mean, morning Renjun has never looked so agitated? I don't even remember where I was going with that. I can't think straight with the way his brown hair falls over his forehead in a messy way from not doing anything with it after sleeping-

Wait, I meant I'm distracted by the way the atmosphere is so thick with tension you could slice it with a butter knife. If I were to be honest, I think Haechan is overreacting.

Chenle let out a heavy sigh. A couple silent seconds passed before he let another one loose, changing his sitting position to lying down on the floor. Still, no one answered.

"Uhh!" Chenle's sigh was so loud, it was almost considered a yell.

"What's wrong Chenle?" Jisung reluctantly asked.

Chenle looked out the window at the bright blue sky. "Oh, nothing."

Jisung shrugged, pulling out his phone.

"It's just," Chenle started, sitting back up. "I have this intense feeling in my heart."

"Probably some heart disease from all the sugar you eat," Renjun muttered from where he sat.

"She does make me feel like I'm on a sugar rush every time I look at her." Chenle leaned his head against the wall, his face slightly tilted up towards to ceiling. "Is this love?"

"Chenle," I started with a stern tone. "We all know you like Jueun. Just go for it. Just ask her out." I looked up to Jisung, who was hiding behind his phone. "And you Jisung. What's stopping you from asking out Hana?"

"Why would I ask out Hana?" he questioned in a monotone way.

"She likes you, and you seem pretty talkative with her. I see you two at dance practice. You always hang out with her by the water machine, away from the rest of us."

"Hey, she gets thirsty easily," Jisung defended.

"Yeah," Jaemin chuckled. "For you."

Jisung only rolled his eyes.
