"Sana, already done?" I asked Sana who's been vomitting inside the comfort room of Seungcheol's house. I guess she had eaten something contaminated.
Caressing her back, while looking at her pale face. She looks so weak, so I made her wait there and went straight to Seungcheol. She needs rest and therefore, we need to go home. She can't settle in here. On my way to the living room, where we planned to do the project, I heard a girl's voice. My brows knotted. Did they invited their girls?
If they did, they're a bunch of assholes.
"Oppa, can I have the desserts? Please! Please?" My eyes widen when I saw Tzuyu hugging Seungcheol. What the— she's his girlfriend? Even though I was still confuse, I stepped in for Sana's sake. All eyes were on me while I was facing Seungcheol with Tzuyu on his side, smiling at me.
"Can we go home already? Sana is not feeling well." I sternly said, face showing seriousness. He raised his brows, before tilting his head on a side.
"We haven't finish the project yet. Do I look like I want you to go home in that case?" He retorted while piercing his round eyes on me. I crossed my arms, rolling my eyes.
"My friend is not doing well! We need to go home—"
"I'm fine already, Nayeon unnie."
I was surprised when Sana stepped in the living room with Jun supporting her to walk properly. She looks comfortable with him for a suspicious and sudden reason. Turning to look at Seungcheol who looked like winning a whole race or a lottery perhaps.
Jun made her sit on a couch while smiling like they're so close. The four of us stared at them with confusion, since when did they got closer? I mean it could be at the dance room incident. Jun took care of her and they've got much better after that.
"So, now Nayeon? Are you still going home?" He asked while stepping nearer towards my spot. I immediately step away and cleared my throat.
I went straight beside Sana and took the laptop where I was working with earlier. I noticed it was a bit different, I was about to press it back to the desktop when he grab it away from me. Startled, I was. Seungcheol looked flustered.
"This is mine, the one beside Jeonghan was yours." He said with his ears flashing red. What the hell is wrong with this man? He acted cool earlier and now a shy guy. Tsk, that's a fast change.
I just nodded, then continued working so I can finish my work here and go home. His presence is making my blood boil.
"Is there something you don't want us to see there, oppa?" Tzuyu asked.
"That's unusual, Cheol." Jeonghan added.
"Just personal matters. Continue your work, guys." He said before sitting on the floor. He took a glimpse of me, I presume before looking away.
I didn't mind his weird act. I kept silent since Sana was talking to Jun. Yeah, I am out of place in here. To my surprise, Tzuyu sat beside me. And oh, I'm still confused about her relationship with Seungcheol. I mean they could be relatives, bestfriends or something.
"Annyeong, unnie." She said while smiling. I smiled back then greeted her back.
"Tzu, don't try disturbing us." Seungcheol scolded her. Tzuyu just rolled her eyes then stood up.
"You're such a lame brother." She mumbled, which just answered my question. They're siblings?! Shoot, I thought they were in a relationship! Nayeon, you should change your perspectives.
"Talk to you later, unnie."
She then went upstairs, maybe inside her room. I shook my head before continuing my work.
"Would you mind getting a room?" Jeonghan muttered and I guess he was referring to the 'I don't know what's with them' who's beside me.
"Shut up, hyung." Jun muttered. He and Sana were working together. Teamwork, I presume.
I'll talk to her later. She and Jun were quite suspicious. They look more like a couple, cuddling and helping each other. Are they just simply flirting or is more like— cringe.
After an hour of typing, my throat became dry and my hands were extremely sweating. I gently stood up while the others were still focus on what they are doing. I wanted to grab some water, so of course I went straight to their kitchen. Filling the glass with water, I noticed someone's presence behind my back. I almost shivered when I heard a deep voice.
"I thought you were trying to escape."
I was startled before looking back at Seungcheol. His arms crossed while looking straight at me with a tilted head. Goodness, is he trying to kill me?
I rolled my eyes, grabbing the glass then drank it straight. Looking back at Seungcheol, he just stood there, gazes were on me. He's getting creepy. His eyes were glinting with authority. As if he can authorize someone like me.
"Then you thought it wrong." I scoff before passing on his side. Surprised when he suddenly grab my wrist, making me step back. We were now facing each other, while my brows were meeting.
"What do you need?"
I sternly muttered. He exhaled an amount of air, licking his lower lip. Can he just get straight to the point.
"About the kiss," he trailed off. He looked away before looking down. "I'm sorry."

"Feeling better?" Jun asked while holding my hands. We were both sitting in the couch while a laptop was on his lap. I nodded my head slightly before smiling at him.
He wasn't that bad, aside from the fact that I saw him kissing a girl yesterday. I was avoiding myself to feel this extraordinary feeling, but everytime my brain would recall that scenario, something sunk and became heavy. He ruffled my hair as he continued working the project.
My thoughts were all mixed up. I'm feeling slightly dizzy but I can still handle and this things I'm feeling right now, aish. And the guy that is secretly helping me.
Jun said I should just let him do my part and that I should take a rest. I just stared at him, he looked so perfect and pure. Though he really isn't. I am afraid that I may fall if he continue acting like this to me. He's a playboy and it will suck if I fall and he won't catch me.
Everytime I look at him, the idea of him as a jerk, vanish.
Everytime he acts concerned and worried about me, made me flutter.
I have a soft heart. I can be happy, and sad at the same time.
"Who was that girl yesterday?"
I almost jump on my own choice of words. It sounded like I am a jealous girlfriend. He turned his head at me before looking away and scratching his nape. He released a soft chuckle before saying,
"She's not important." He simply said, before looking back at the laptop. He looked distracted though.
I nodded before leaning on the couch. His answer made me dissapointed. If she's nothing, then why would he lay his lips on hers. I am not innocent on those kind of things. She may be someone to him, you cannot just kiss anyone without any particular reason.
"Is it true that you always play with girls' hearts?" I asked, curious. He lightly chuckled, his eyes fixed on the screen but unable to type any words.
"Sort of." He answered before looking down. Yes, I am dissapointed for the second time today. I already know and that's the reason why I don't want this sort of chemical to take over my body.
I look away from him.
Why am I even asking him this kind of things? We're not even that close. I don't even know what's going on between the two of us. He stopped bullying me, but I kept seeing him kissing other girls.
"But if you want me to stop doing it, I'll stop."
He muttered that made me look at him with an instant. I look at him in disbelief and confusion. If I'll tell him to stop playing around with girls, he'll stop? For what reason?
Am I superior to him? Psh, probably not.
Am I that important to him? Gosh, I'm not even his friend. We're just constant frenemies— I really don't know.
"W-What do you mean?"
"I don't wanna look bad in your eyes, Sana. If ever I'll stop, my image in your eyes will change, right?"
I was speechless. Why is he even concern with how I think of him? Instead of answering, I remained silent while staring at his eyes. His eyes were tantalizing and splending—splendish— Ugh, what was that word again?
