After they finished eating, Sunghoon and Jake are the one who went out first, to get the cake.
"Sunghoon-ah, I'll just go to the bathroom quick and come after you" Jake requested and Sunghoon just nodded.
As Sunghoon was approaching the car, he can see the lights are on in the back seats, but when he can see everything clearly, there where 3 silhouettes.
"Huh? Did she bring her friends?" He walked faster, annoyed.
"Well, who are you? And why the h*ll did you come out of Encross' private dinner room? If you aren't going to tell us, then atleast bring us in, too. Don't enjoy all by yourself!" One of the girls shouted.
Sunghoon was shocked to see what's happenning. The cake is om the floor, so is Eiah. She was being harrased by these 3 girls.
Eiah saw him standing in the shadow, but he didn't budge.
He is having second thoughts.
Should I help her? But what about my image? If I make a scandal in public, it will ruin the group.
Little did he know, he ran as fast as he can when a girl was about to slap Eiah.
He tightened his grip to the girl's wrist, and frowned at her.
"Don't you ever touch her. Not infront of me!" Sunghoon shouted out of anger.
The girls were scared, maybe not expecting Sunghoon to be like that. They escaped after he let go of the hand.
He turned to Eiah, who was covered in cake, crying.
Never will I ever see a girl getting slapped again! No! He thought.
Sunghoon approached her, and supported her to stand up.
"Thank you." Eiah said, still sobbing.
"I didn't do it for you, it's for me. So don't thank me." Sunghoon replied cold-heartedly.
Eiah was about to say something when the rest of the group, except Hee of course, came.
"Noona! What happened?" Sunoo came running to her as soon as he realized she was crying.
"Nothing, I'm just fine. Go on with the surprise don't mind me." She assured Sunoo.
"B-but how about the cake?" Jungwon did the puppy eye and pouted.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I guess I'll go buy at the nearest shop! I'm sorry." She bowed several times before walking away.
"Is no one going with her? She's alone! In the freaking night!" Jay shouted out of nowhere.
"You go then" Jake said.
"Uhmm, I think I forgot something inside. Gotta go!" Jay swooshed away. 💨
"I'll go with her." Sunoo volunteered. What a good brother he is!
"No! Hyung! I can't hold all these balloons!" Ni-Ki said stomping his cute little feet.
"Hyung, can't you go? You know what cake Hee likes. She might buy something else." Jungwoon did the puppy eyes again. (Why can I imagine afsgshsjsj)
"Ugh, okay fine. Jake-ah, clean this up, then. And inform manager." He just walked away in frustration.
"Take care, hyung! We'll wait for you, here! Take good care of my sister, too. Thank you! Love you" Sunoo said before Sunghoon disappeared in the shadows.
Eiah's POV
It's so cold. I already have Sunoo's jacket but the night is so cold.
I don't even know where I am. I'll just keep walking, i'll see the shop eventually.
Wait, is someone following me? Walk fast walk fast. No, he's coping up. This is getting scary.
"Hey-"
"Ahhhh! Stop following me! Go away! Go away!" I am scared.
"Hey, chill. It's me, Sunghoon. You thought I'm a stalker? Who's gonna stalk you?"
Tsk talk whatever you want. I thanked you, and you didn't even accept it.
"Tss.." I rather not talk. It's better to avoid getting attention from the people around. Oh wait-
"Why are you here? Aren't you scared people will see you out here? And even with me?!"
"Uh? Can't you see? I'm wearing a cap, a mask, a hoodie and even a denim jacket? I'm all covered up. We won't get attention if you don't scream like that. Everybody can hear you."
Did he just said all of that like he's cool about it? Good for you, then. I'm bothered.
We just continued walking, but I can feel the breeze getting colder. I tried hugging myself but it's useless.
"Here. Wear it." HE. JUST. GAVE. ME. HIS. DENIM. JACKET.
"What? No, thank you. I'm fine." I tried taking it off but he forcedly put it for me.
thump thump... thump thump... thump thump..
"No! Stop!" Heart. Stop. Please. Don't.
"Oh. Sorry. But don't take it off. You already dirtied it with those cake stains."
Did I say that out loud? I meant my heart, I told my heart to stop.
Awkward silence. I didn't talk to him until we arrived at the shop, bought two cakes, and went back to the restaurant.
Ah finally. I thought I'm gonna suffocate in that awkwardness.
The surprise went on as if nothing happened. Well, I am fine. It's okay for this will be the first and last I'm gonna be with them, so no worries. As long as my brother is happy, I'm happy.
They are all enjoying Heeseung's mini birthday party. I just watched them play, and laugh. When will I have this kind of fun, too?
They drove me home safely. Of course, I didn't forget to thank them for the food. That was *chef's kiss*. Free food is good food.
I was all happy with the thought of food until I am alone in my room, again. The bad experience I had back there is coming back. I guess I'll just try to sleep.
*beep beep*
-----------
From Sunghoon:
No need to give back the jacket. Keep it.
-----------
Yes, I asked for his number so I could message him after I wash it. If he won't let me give it back, why did he give his number, then?! Tsk tsk.
-----------
To Sunghoon:
ok.
----------
Ahhh. I just wanna sleep.
Sunghoon's POV
Ok? Ok? That's all? How ungrateful! I gave you my jacket my fans can't even have. And you just said ok?
"What okay? Why're you mad at your phone? You're weird. HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAHAH" oh. I said that out loud. Now Jay is teasing me.
"Sunoo! Sunoo!" I called him.
"Yes, hyung?" that was fast.
"Tell your sister to give my jacket back to me asap!"
"O-okay?" He hesitated.
"Huh? Okay? Why are you both saying okay?!" Ok. The word Ok is irritating me now huh. Real weird.
"Then? Goodnight I guess?" He ran away after saying that.
No. I gotta control myself. Why am I even expecting a longer reply?
Whew. Let's just sleep this off.
