Hoya POV

        A week passed and I was happy because I was able to spend more time with Ariana. While the guys were busy practicing our dance routines, I had to sit out because of my ankle. Instead of just watching them practice, I would work on my vocal training and visit with Ariana. We would bring the guys lunch and run and get them snacks during their breaks. We had so much fun cooking together.

        Finally the day came for my appointment with the specialist. Unfortunately our manager was going to be busy with the guys, so I had to go alone. As I was getting ready to go to the hospital, I saw Ariana rushing around.

        "What's going on?" I asked.

        "Sorry, but I don't have time to talk today. I'm kind of running late."

        "For what? What's happening?"

        "I've got an appointment at the hospital" she replied.

        My eyes widened. "The same hospital from last week?"

        "Yeah, Why?"

        "I've got an appointment too" I smiled. "We can go together!" I was so happy that I got to go with her.

        We arrived at the hospital and were surprised to find that we both had the same doctor. He told me my injury was worse than originally thought and that I would have to refrain from dancing for quite some time. We have our Summer Concert coming up, so the guys aren't going to be too thrilled about this.

        Ariana got a good report from the doctor. He said that she could stop using the boot and just needed a brace. He wanted her to follow up with a physical therapist to work on rebuilding the strength in her leg, but other than that she was golden.

Ariana POV

        As we left the hospital, we decided to go to the corner store and grab some snacks for the guys.

        "Don't forget the drinks" Hoya called out to me.

        "Yeah, yeah!" I shouted back at him.

       We were laughing and joking as we made our way to the practice studio to tell the guys the news, when I suddenly felt my phone vibrate.

        I looked at the screen and saw that it was another text from the unknown number.

                ~I wish I could be the one to make you smile. You look so beautiful with a smile on your face~

        I couldn't help but blush at his text. He was so romantic but he could also be so cheesy too.

        "Who's that?" I heard Hoya ask.

        I quickly put my phone away and said "It's nothing."

        "Doesn't seem like nothing to me" he teased.

        Then, just as he was reaching for my phone, some fans spotted us and mobbed Hoya.

        I grabbed the bags from him and, after earning a few glares from the fans, quickly rushed inside the practice studio.

        "Hey Ariana!" Woohyun greeted me.

        The guys came over and grabbed the bags from me. "Thanks" I sighed in relief as the weight was lifted off my arms. "We got a bit of a problem though."

        "What's wrong?" Sungyeol asked.

        "The fans mobbed Hoya outside. Do you think you guys could go and help him?"

        "Let's go guys!" Sunggyu said and they all went out to help Hoya.

        A few minutes later they all came back inside and collapsed. "Man, those fans can really tire you out!" Myungsoo sighed as he collapsed on the floor. The other guys all did the same as they each came in from signing some autographs.

        I smiled as I walked over and handed each of them a drink. "Here have a drink."

        "Thanks!" Myungsoo said as he sat up. The other guys all looked at me and smiled as well.

        "You really are the best Ariana!" Woohyun smiled.

        Later that night we all returned to the dorm and collapsed.

Hoya POV

        Today had been perfect until the fans mobbed me. I was thankful that they didn't harass Ariana, but they really put a damper in my mood. I was having such a good time with her!

        We got back to the dorm late because the guys had to start readjusting the choreography for our concerts coming up. They all collapsed on their beds and immediately fell asleep. I, on the other hand, wasn't as tired. Ariana had gone to lay down for a nap, but I knew that she would be back up soon so I waited for her.

        When she came out of her room, I greeted her with a smile. "Hi Ariana!"

        "Hey Hoya! Couldn't sleep?"

        "Yeah, I'm not that tired. Ready to go for a walk?"

        "Why not!" she giggled a little.

        As we made our way to the park for our routine midnight walk, Hoya asked "Who was that text from earlier. It looked like it was from someone special."

        "I honestly don't know" she replied.

        "How could you not know who sent you the text?"

        She sighed as she sat on a bench. "He has been texting me since I arrived in Korea, but he won't tell me his name. Truth is, I can't even remember who I gave my number to, so I can't even try to figure out who it is."

        "Can I see?" I asked. I remembered that she had given her number to Myungsoo and I at the same time, so I was curious if it was him.

        She blushed. "I don't know" she hesitated. "The texts are a little......personal."

        "Don't worry, I won't judge."

        She pulled out her phone and nervously handed it over to me. I quickly looked at the number and scrolled through the texts. How the Hell does he have her number? And why would he text her like this?

        She looked at me and asked "Do you recognize the number?"

        "Not sure" I lied. "Most of my contacts are saved under their names, so I don't really look at the numbers much. I'll have to check my phone later. My battery is dead right now." I can't believe I'm lying to her right now.

        I stood up and stretched hoping to relieve the tension I was feeling. She stood up next to me and said "We should probably head back now."

        I panicked. I grabbed her and started hugging her. "Not yet."

Ariana POV

        What is he doing? Why did he start hugging me all of a sudden?

        "Are you okay Hoya?"

        He was silent for what seemed like and eternity. When he finally composed himself, he pulled away and looked me in the eyes. "I love you Ariana."

        I was shocked. Then he did something I really wasn't expecting. He kissed me.

        I quickly broke free and took a step away from him. "What are you doing?" I asked angrily.

        "I love you Ariana" he said again. "I don't know when it started, but I've fallen in love with you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

        I couldn't believe what he was saying. How could Hoya be in love with me?

        I looked in his eyes and I could tell that he was being sincere, which only put more pressure on me. I like Hoya,.....but only as a friend. Why do I have to break his heart?

        I lowered my head and said "I'm sorry Hoya."

        "Why are you sorry?" he looked at me nervously.

        "I like you Hoya, but only as a friend. I can't be your girlfriend. I'm sorry."

        I could see the tears forming in his eyes and it broke my heart. Why is this happening?

Hoya POV

        I tried my best to remain composed, but I could feel the tears forming in my eyes. "Why won't you even try? You did say you liked me" I was practically begging.

        She sighed a little before answering. "Because I'm in love with someone else."

        "Who? Who are you in love with?" I asked angrily.

        "Hoya...." she tried to reason with me.

        "Who?" I screamed as the tears started to fall.

        "It doesn't matter who it is. I'm in love with him and my feelings won't change."

        "It's him, right?" I complained. Even if she didn't say it, I knew who she was in love with. "Why him? He's been nothing but a jerk to you!"

        "I'm sorry" was all she said as she lowered her head.

        I couldn't stand there any longer, so I just ran back to the dorm as fast as I could on my injured foot.
