Seungmin's POV

He was so beautiful that I couldn't take my eyes off him. Looking at anything else at the moment would be a waste of eyesight.

I knew he left the front door open. Therefore, we'd probably not have a lot of time together. I didn't want any of his family members to catch us. I had ruined enough for him already.

"Hey, you-"

"Why is it that color?" he cut me off

He was talking about the moon. It did indeed have a special color. It was pretty much orange.

"Oh, uhm" I mumbled, "it must be destiny"

I needed to use every single chance I had to build up to this confession.

"What?" He questioned what I just said

"Ahah" I giggled, accidentally zoning out while looking at his gorgeous face

He tilted his head

"Are you ok?" He slightly laughed

I blinked a couple times to focus

"Yeah" I smiled, "I'm better than okay"

I could see my reflection in his eyes, and noticed my hair looked a little messy. I quickly fixed it trying to be as subtle as possible.

He turned away from me to look at the moon again. Something about his posture told me he was about to go back inside. I really wanted him to stay here. At least until my mom came.

"I like your shoes" I complimented him

He looked down at the slippers he was wearing. I hadn't even seen them yet, but I wanted to say something nice.

"Thanks" he responded, with an unsure look on his face

I felt overwhelmed with thoughts knowing that this was the time. This was the moment. My head hurt. -but in a good way, of course. I had high hopes for this. After all he'd done for me today, we kind of developed a good relationship.

If he told me he didn't feel ready yet I'd be okay with that too. I know how it feels, and he can take all the time he needs.

"You look really good today" I said

An electrifying shock full of love and glitter spread down my body. My hands started shaking, so I hid them behind my back.

"Really?" He turned around to face me again. I couldn't keep eye contact as I noticed a smirk appearing on his face.

"Y-Yeah" I stuttered

He smiled

"You're being very nice to me considering what happened today" he said

I awkwardly giggled

"I'm glad what happened actually happened"

There it was again. The confused look on his face. I wondered if he even took my flirting as flirt, or if he just found it weird. Maybe I should go all out, and just tell him what was going on.

"By the wa-"

"It's getting dark" he cut me off again, "shouldn't you get going?"

I let out a deep exhale

"My mom is actually picking me up" I explained

"Oh, your mom is picking you up?" He asked

Did he not hear what I just said?

"Yeah" I smiled

He nodded slowly

"Alright then, cool" he said.

He started turning around, getting ready to go back inside. I stopped him by holding onto his wrist.

"Wait!" I stopped him

"Hm?" He tilted his head

"I need to tell you something before you go" I said, my voice shaking.

"What's up?" He asked

I opened my mouth in hopes that I'd be able to tell him my real feelings right away. Unfortunately, a message sound from my phone interrupted me. A loud vibration.

I jumped a bit. Jeongin's gaze followed down to my pocket.

It was definitely mom telling me she could come pick me up. Sadly she sent it at the worst possible moment. But she didn't know better. It wasn't her fault.

"Don't worry about that" I told Jeongin, "it's just my mom"

He nodded

"But I really need to get back inside dude" he explained, "I don't want to get caught.

I looked down, trying to make up a fake sad expression.

-"Just tell me what you were going to say" he added

I swallowed

"Uhm.." no words came out my mouth

He kept looking back at his front door to see if anyone would be there. I'd do anything to get more time with him.

"I'm really scared of the dark" I lied, exaggerating the sad expression on my face

"Oh" he responded

I knew that wasn't a valid reason for him to stay, but it was all I had.

"Do you think you could stay until my mom is here?" I begged

He scratched the back of his head, looking at the open door behind him.

"When will she be here?" He asked

"Soon" I replied

He hesitated it for a moment, before shaking off my hand from his wrist and walking up the tiny staircase leading to the door. My heart shattered.

He held onto the doorknob, not even saying a word. I stood there on the verge of breaking down.

He started closing the door while still standing outside. At first I had no idea what he was trying to do until he fully closed it, still standing outside

"I just had to close the door to reduce the chance of someone bearing us" he said quietly while jogging back down the steps

My heart lit up.

Was he really staying here, risking so much just to spend time with me?

I couldn't help but grin. He made me feel so bubbly.

"Thank you so much" I said, looking down to hide my enormous smile.

"No worries" he responded, "but you should probably reply to that message your mom sent you"

Oh right.

"Yeah" I laughed, "I need to tell her she can come get me"

I fished the phone up from my pocket, trying not to shake too much.

Hyunjin😊🏳️‍🌈

I did not expect Hyunjin to have messaged me at this time. I had barely even spoken to him since camp. I quickly left the chat to stop Jeongin from seeing it.

I had to pretend I was texting my mom, and so I opened my chat with her instead only to be met with messages of her asking me if I had come out yet.

I turned the screen away from him.

"Hiding something?" He questioned me

I remembered what happened to Felix at camp for a small moment. Of course I trusted Jeongin, but I couldn't take any chances of that happening to me.

I forced a disgusted look on my face before opening Hyunjin's chat. I turned the phone back towards Jeongin.

"Ew" I mumbled, "Hyunjin messaged me"

I felt awful for lying, but I knew he didn't like Hyunjin, and it was my only option.

His eyes widened, and he came much closer to read the message on the screen in front of us.

"What.." he muttered, obviously very surprised

Over the message he sent was a two-chat dialogue. Luckily all I said was; "alright so I got the right number!"

That wasn't really a dead giveaway.

"Why is he asking about us?" Jeongin asked confused as to what was happening
