[ DAYTIME ] [ Yeong POV ]

I was sitting by the pool watching others playing & having fun. I smiled looking at them enjoying their vacation. My eyes travelled around & stop at the one person who makes me shy without any effort. I remember what happened on kicthen & how i was imagining things. Once again, my cheeks became red. I shrugged off the thought, just then i got a call from Wonyoung.

"Hey girl, how are you?" I answered the call.

"Hey, Are you okay?" She asked in worried tone.

"Yeah whats wrong?" I got curious as usually she's always loud & cheerful but today she kinda sounded worried.

"Have you not seen it yet?" She asked worriedly.

"What have i not seen?" I got confused.

"Did you & Sunghoon-sii went somewhere together?" She asked.

"H-how did you know? D-don't tell me." I could only think of one way she found out. Wishing it wasn't true but luck wasn't on my side. Next word was enough for me to know that i messed up.

"Dispatch" Wonyoung said.

"Sh*t" i mumbled.

I went to the dispatch news & yes, i saw it. The thing i never wanted to see.

Dating rumors

"How did i not notice?" I said clearly tensed.

"Girl, calm down. I'm sure company will handle it well. Don't worry too much okay?" She said in soft voice.

"How can i not?" I told her.

"Girl, don't worry. I need to go as i'm in middle of practice so i'll call you later just don't worry okay?" She said & hung up the call.

I sighs & looked at the news once again. I looked at Sunghoon who was playing volleyball with the boys.

Should i tell him?or Should i let him find out by himself?

As i was arguing within myself. I felt soft tap on my shoulder. I saw it was Jungwon.

"Whats wrong? You seems lost alot today" Jungwon said & sat down beside me.

"Nothing, just- maybe i'll go & rest. I don't feel well" i said & stood up.

"Huh? Whats wrong? Do you have fever?" Jungwon put his hand on my forehead.

Obviously i was trying hard not to blush by the sudden touch.

"I'm fine. Its just i feel alittle weird today. I'll rest for a while & i'll be okay" I smiled at him.

"Lemme bring you a hot water & medicines" Jungwon said & started walking inside without letting me answer.

"Jung- " Just like that he was gone.

I sighs.

I sat down again, waiting for him to come.

I got the notifications on my phone & seems like it wasn't just me who got notifications. Sunghoon took out his phone as well. I started panicking.

I saw it was Niki who texted me. That means they have known, now Sunghoon will know too. Then Jungwon will know too. I faceplamed myself remembering how he reacted when he found out about the dating rumors with Niki. I looked at Sunghoon who's expression went serious. Just then he looked up & our eyes met. He started walking towards me while i was probably shaking. I don't even know why was i shaking but i was.

"Yeong, did you see the news?" Sunghoon asked.

"Yeah i just found out as well. What should we do now?" I told him without looking at him. As i couldn't bring myself to look at him.

"We need to talk with our company" Sunghoon said & started calling someone.

Just then, Jungwon came outside but his expression was changed from before. He had phone in his hand so i figured it out. He found out too. I sighs.

Jungwon came towards me & hold my hand then said.

"We need to talk"

Before i could react, he pulled me inside & dragged me towards the room & closed the door behind.

"Yeong, why are you making things hard for me?" His voice sounded like he is hurt.

"What did i do?" I whispered.

"Before it was with Niki, now its with Sunghoon hyung. Can't you see i can't see your name attached with someone else. It hurts to see people shipping you with someone else. I can't stand this" Jungwon said while looking deep in my eyes.

I was stunned. I was speechless.

"I can't take this anymore. I don't know what'll happen after this but i wanna confess" Jungwon said & came closer to me.

I stood there speechless.

"I LOVE YOU"

He said & pecked me on my lips. My eyes widen. I was shocked & stunned. It felt like a imagination again. But no, it wasn't an imagination. It was happening in real.

"He loves me?? He really loves me?"

I thought to myself wanting to jump around but at the moment his lips were still on mine & i was still processing what just happened.......
