Kim_Yoon.i and MinaLee

Me:
Hey, Sagang invited me to come watch their band practice tomorrow. I asked if I could bring a couple people, so do you two want to join? We can carpool. My mom will be home in time.

MinaLee:
Oooh ;) you're little admirer?

Kim_Yoon.i:
Isn't Eunsung in his band?

MinaLee:
OOH ;D

Me:
So is Seokcheol ;)

Kim_Yoon.i:
OOH, MINA!

  New Message from junw00k_Kim: We just finished practicing.

junw00k_Kim:
Everyone seemed really cool. I think you'll enjoy the song we practiced.

Me:
I'm glad to hear that :) I can't wait.

Hanji's P.O.V

   "Hanji!" Sagang's voice bounced off the hallway walls. "Did you take all the chips?"

   I slowly looked down at my hands. The sound of the chip bag crunched as I began to roll it up and quickly swallow what was in my mouth. "No!" I called to my younger brother, hiding the evidence under my pillow.

   "Do you think mom or dad took them to work?" I could see Sagang walking up the stairs and towards my room.

   "I don't know, Sagang. Maybe they ate them yesterday?"

   "But I just bought them last night with some other snacks for band practice."

   I bit my cheek, trying not to lean against my pillow. "Hey, everyone is showing up in a couple minutes, right? Shouldn't you be waiting for them?" I jumped off my bed and dragged Sagang down the stairs with me.

   "Yeah, and some people are coming to watch. Jae-"

   "Jaehwa, Mina, and Yooni," I finished. "I heard them talking about it at school. Speaking of Jaehwa, what did you get her today?"

   "I picked up a couple of donuts in town not too far from school this morning."

   I grinned and pulled my brother under my arm, despite him being a little taller. "That's the way into a girl's heart."

   Sagang smiled sheepishly and pulled away. "Stop." He brushed it off.

   "Awe, Sagang has a crushy," I cooed. I could tell Sagang really liked her. Even before he signed up for the Cupid Booth, I knew that Sagang had some feelings towards Jaehwa. He would mention her at times and the shine in his eyes gave away the truth.

Which led me to, maybe, tampering with the Cupid Booth results?

I can't tell Sagang, though. He would be upset with me for doing so and even more disappointed that they weren't matched naturally. I thought there could've been a possibility of them being put together, but I wanted Sagang to be as happy as possible. I love my brother.

   A small and airy chuckle left him. "Maybe, but I don't think she feels the same. I'm younger than her."

   "Age doesn't matter. How many times do I have to say this? Plus, she's barely older."

   A knock cut off our conversation. Sagang rushed to the door and revealed Seokcheol and Seunghyun, who were the first to arrive. Eunsung came next.

   I was surprised to open the door for the next set of knocks and not see Woojin.

Junwook looked up at me while flicking his head back to move his bangs away from his eyes. His mouth formed a small smile.

   "Junwook?" I questioned, not sure why he was here. Judging by the guitar case he carried, I'm guessing he's here to play with Sagang and the rest of them.

   "Hi," he greeted quietly. "I'm here to practice." Junwook motioned to the case he was holding.

   "When did you join their band?"

   "Yesterday."

   I nodded slowly. "Ah, I was working yesterday so I didn't see you." I stepped out of the way to let him pass me. "They're in the kitchen. Help yourself to some snacks."

   Jaehwa, Yooni, and Mina were the next ones to arrive. I directed them to the garage, where the boys were starting to get ready and tuning their instruments. However, Woojin still hasn't arrived.

Eunsung had stepped away from the group, since he didn't have to tune anything, and began to talk to Yooni. The way she laughed and looked at him gave me rising suspicions.

   But isn't Eunsung with Deiji?

   I pushed it away and decided to just leave that to them. Instead, I began to make my way to Jaehwa and Mina. "Hey," I greeted, holding it out and sliding a tad. "I'm glad you could make it."

   "Yeah, me too," Jaehwa agreed.

   "If there's anything you need, just ask either me or Sagang." I gave a short eyebrow flash before finding a seat.

   Since our garage is mostly used for storage and instruments, it was also turned into an entertainment area with a TV, stereo, and couch accompanied by a couple chairs. I curled up on a chair with my knees brought up to my chest.

   The door to the garage was opened and suddenly shut. Once again surprised to not see Woojin. Deiji, Eunsung's bratty girlfriend came running over to him. She jumped into his arms, making Yooni stumble back.

   "Sorry for being a little late." Yooni pulled back just enough to look into Eunsung's eyes. Her grin was so wide and cheesy I wanted to barf. It was making me nauseous. 

   Eunsung chuckled, but it seemed forced. I watched as Yooni backed away from the couple and glance around the room awkwardly. We all seemed to be a little uncomfortable by how clingy Deiji was being. She slightly turned to look at Yooni, but kept her arms wrapped around Eunsung's neck.

   "Oh, hey Yooni!" she greeted, cheerfully.

   Yooni gave a small smile. "Hi, Deiji. I didn't know you were going to come today."

   Deiji let out a soft laugh. "Of course. I watch them a lot. Eunsung is my boyfriend." She leaned towards Eunsung and planted a kiss on his cheek.

   Oh, the nauseous feeling is back.
