As long as he waited for Sunday to arrive, Yuta became anxious. Let's say he wasn't as desperate as a few days ago, though he couldn't stop thinking about Katrina, which was a little worrying, and if taking her to Jaehyun's house would be a good idea; Johnny and Taeyong also knew all about what the girl most wanted to hide, so it would be best to keep her away from the two, just so it doesn't end up in chaos.

According to Jaehyun's messages, Gwiyomi (as Yuta didn't get tired of this nickname) would leave work at 7:30 p.m., and that would give them plenty of time to be able to organize everything and surprise her with the party. Yuta was stuck trying to decide what he would wear until he received a text message from Katrina and gave in to his dark jeans and a white basic t-shirt because he was late. As he pondered how he would react with the girls, Katrina and Charlie, in front of his friends and Gwiyomi, Yuta followed the street feeling certain anxiety and shyness.

It was rather strange even for him, no girl had ever made him that shy, not even his first love. Perhaps it was discomfort to have invited her as an excuse not to tell the truth, but he was excited to spend more time with Katrina. It should be just like the day that he gave her a ride, there was no reason for nervousness, Charlotte would be with them too, the question would be how to keep Johnny and Taeyong's mouths shut; although the two were good at keeping secrets, with a positive thought everything was going to end well.

Yuta waited a few minutes in front of the girls' house to pick them up as arranged. As soon as he had seen them walking to his car, he held his breath and grinned" It'll be all right" "he tried to calm himself.

"Hey! How's our Charlie doing?" Yuta flashed a thin smile at the little girl in the backseat.

"Doing great!" she laughed as Yuta stroked her hair briefly.

"You waited long?"

After making sure Charlotte would be safe in the backseat, Katrina also entered the car sitting next to Yuta.

"No, no, actually I came a little early" he laughed softly "You're used to get dressed quickly?" started the car and went road ahead.

"Honestly, no, but I was anxious."

"Really?" he was surprised, but in the background, Yuta seemed much happier to know that "But why?"

"I guess it's because I'm going to meet your friends" she laughed to see that this wasn't the answer Yuta expected "So, what do you think?"

"You mean your clothes?"

"Yeah, weird or...?"

"No, no, your clothes are fine, you're pretty" one thin smile "It's just a birthday party, don't worry too much about it."

Even with his words, the girl seemed to be still worried.

"I hope we don't have any problems..."

"Why would we?"

"We're not taking any presents to a birthday party."

"I bought a present, don't worry. And being there is what really matters, isn't it?"

Those words made the girl stare at him in silence.

"What?" he laughed.

"You really are nothing like what you appear to be."

"Is it a good thing?"

"I think... Don't know, but I'll find out."

"Wow" that embarrassed him, but he knew how to hide very well "And what did you think I was like?"

"A rich and spoiled narcissist."

"Gosh, what did I do to you?" he snorted at her words, making her laugh.

"Now you look like a gentle narcissist..."

To him that wasn't a very good change.

"Well, that's not something you see every day."

"Of course! I'm limited edition!" just made a joke for being too embarrassed by the things she was saying.

"But you are kind of weird and dumb, too" she laughed, shifting her attention to the window.

They ended up being silent while Charlotte sang children's songs in the backseat. Yuta wanted to bring up some subject, but all he could think about was that guy Katrina had been out with lately, curiosity was strong, but just this question would destroy whatever they had now; a friendship or maybe a little more, even if he denied it. Jaehyun's neighborhood was clearly full of luxurious homes, expensive cars and beautiful gardens. Even if Yuta hadn't noticed, Katrina was wide-eyed until she slapped the boy's shoulder unannounced.

"What have I said about assaulting the driver?!" by the fright he ended up speaking louder, which made Charlotte laugh.

"When were you going to tell me it's a rich people's party?"

"I needed to?"

Yuta lived in that environment, for him it was something almost common, since at the moment he lived a life humbler.

"Of course! If I had known before, I wouldn't have come!"

"I never thought I'd get the chance to meet the iceberg that sank Titanic in person."

"What are you talking about now?"

"You. I thought you came because of me."

"Honey, I came for the food" she scoffed, what made him laugh, but deep inside she felt a throb in her heart with his words.

"Now I know how to make you go on a date with me."

"What?"

This time he regretted what he said.

"Do you want to go out on a date with me?" she laughed.

"Who said that absurd thing?"

"You said it, idiot."

As soon as he parked in front of Jaehyun's house, Katrina sighed taking the right hand against her forehead.

"Oh God."

"You can call me Yuta, too."

"Don't even think that I'll get out of this car now. Your friend is a millionaire by any chance?"

"Come on."

Yuta unlocked the doors and got out of the car helping Charlotte and taking the present in the backseat, but the girl remained inside, arms crossed.

"Katrina, let's go."

She just shook her head forcing Yuta to go to the closed window beside her and knock it lightly.

"Yes?" she opened the window.

"Won't you come out?"

"No."

"Katrina, get out of the car."

"I already said no."

"Why not?"

"Because I'm embarrassed! Your friends are rich, they'll laugh at me."

"Not my friends, they won't."

"They will for sure, if there are girls inside too it will be even worse!"

"I swear that I'll punch whoever laugh at you."

She stared at him for a few seconds.

"And the only girl you'll see there is the birthday girl."

"Are you sure...?"

"Katrina, you're beautiful."

His gaze was serious as well as serene and calm, which made the girl wince, and if it weren't for the dim lighting, her cheeks would obviously be flushed.

"It's ok, trust me" he smiled warmly.

The canadian girl didn't know how Yuta managed to make her give in so quickly, though his words indeed made her feel good, she wanted to know more about the boy she meet a few days ago. They rang the bell, Katrina still embarrassed, Charlotte excited for the party, and Yuta laughed at the expression on the girls' faces beside him. Wanted to say something, but he knew it would make them even more nervous.

As Doyoung opened the door, a huge smile flashed across the face of the japanese. They two greeted each other with hugs in a relaxed manner and entered the house already full of testosterone" How many boys in one place" "Katrina wanted to laugh at that thought, but breathed with relief at seeing everyone dressed simply and comfortably, just like her.

"See" Yuta whispered to Katrina leaving the gift box with the others "Ordinary people" with a grin, he lightly touched her shoulder.

"Hey, Nakamoto, you're not going to introduce us to your new friends?" Ten inquired, what caused in laughter and looks of curiosity on the other boys who were in the Jung mansion.

"These are Charlotte and Katrina. She..." he was interrupted.

"Girlfriend?" Ten, again, spoke but now to the Katrina.

"No..." Katrina replied, laughing a bit uneasily.

"She rejected you in front of everyone, things are bad for you my friend" Johnny took his hand in front of his lips with a wicked grin trying to hold back the laughter.

"Idiots, she's a friend from college, and she's new so I wanted to help her make friends" Yuta rolled his eyes with hands on his hips.

"Whatever, now excuse me. Hi, I'm Ten! These are Johnny, Taeyong, Taeil, Doyoung, Sicheng, he's addicted to games so we call him Winwin" he pointed to each one who waved as soon as their names were called "And in the kitchen you'll find the house owner, Jaehyun" with a lively smile, the boy went on "Pleased to meet you!"

"It's my pleasure!" she bowed briefly in the form of respect, soon smiling.

"Hello to you too, little princess!" with a caring look Ten stared at Charlotte, who soon hid behind Katrina after briefly waving to the boys who were staring at her.

"Oh, you're here" Jaehyun came out of the kitchen with a black apron around his waist and greeted the three of them "I was worried already. I was almost sure you wouldn't come."

"I've been threatened through text messages," they stared at each other as the room fell into complete silence "remember?"

For a moment, Katrina thought they were going to throw punches at one another, but a laugh of pure animation escaped Jaehyun lips and both he and Yuta hugged each other like old friends do.

"It's not a party if the Osaka Prince isn't there!"

"Well, now I just need to pick up the birthday girl" Jaehyun smiled broadly getting rid of the apron "I'll take a brief shower, please make yourself at home" this last sentence was directed to the two girls.

"Hey, Charlie" Yuta crouched beside the little girl who was a bit shy "I want you to meet someone."

In the corner of the room, next to Winwin sitting on the couch, playing with his new toys was Bogum. Yuta took the little girl to him.

"Bogummie!" the youngest smiled at the Japanese "I brought a friend with me today, why don't you show your toys to her?"

While Katrina was approached by the other boys, Yuta had a little fun with the children.

The party was going much better than Yuta thought. Taeyong was acting as usual, yet avoiding him and Johnny a few times, he was still upset, but Yuta knew he would forgive them given the right time. Katrina managed to loosen up when Gayeon arrived at the party and the whole surprise was revealed with shouts, applause, cake, candy, chips with guacamole and drinks. It was fun, Yuta managed to get back that feeling of having his friends always around. Didn't feel lonely but full of life.

He didn't deny too that seeing Jaehyun kissing Gayeon was uncomfortable, it hurt, but it would be okay, he missed his best friend and didn't want to avoid him anymore. Everyone was having a good time together and for the first time Yuta saw Katrina look extremely beautiful as she smiled. He stopped to analyze the girl carefully without even noticing the presence of someone sitting beside his on the couch.

"You're drooling" he pronounced.

"GOD!" Yuta widened his eyes as he noticed Winwin eating chips with a disinterested look.

"Just Winwin is fine."

"When did you get here?"

"I was here long before you sat down, suffer from amorous disillusionment with those two making out" he pointed at Jaehyun and his girlfriend "and then drool at the other girl. Aren't you ashamed to do such a thing in my presence?" he ended up laughing alone with Yuta's indignant grimace.

"But what are you talking about?"

"Oh, you know what I'm talking about, my friend. But if I were you, I'd do something about it."

"What do you mean?"

"You've been rejected by one, it will be sad if the other doesn't want you either."

"Winwin, who taught you these things?"

"My mom."

"Jesus Christ..."

"Keep on belittling me, go ahead, do whatever you want" he got silent just to continue eating.

"Alright then, enlighten me with your teachings, oh wise Winwin. What do you want me to know?"

"That Seo Johnny is winning over your girl."
