hina woke up to a flash in her face. rubbing her eyes, she looked up to see all the girls holding a polaroid in her face. she watched as a piece of film slowly came out of the slot of the camera.

"how cute!!" lami exclaimed as she looked at the photo admiringly. hina wanted to leap out of her seat to strangle lami for taking unauthorized pictures of her. however, she was violently held down my pair of arms wrapped around her waist.

"what the hell!" she yelled as she was gracelessly brought down to her seat. turning to her left, she saw the one and only jaemin, unconscious in the seat next to her. the members giggled upon her realization. koeun, covering her mouth to hide her amusement, started to explain the situation to hina.

"you guys knocked out thirty minutes into the movie!" koeun laughed out loud, no longer able to contain her amusement. however, hina looked down to where jaemin's hands were placed. huffing in annoyance, she glared at the poor koleader.

"that doesn't explain THIS!" hina whisper yelled as she gestured towards jaemin's arms, careful not to wake him up. even though she found the entire situation beyond irking, doesn't mean she should be inconsiderate. however, lami could not take the scene anymore. walking closer to the couch, she put the polaroid picture in hina's face, making sure she saw it clearly.

"koeun didn't give us an explanation on why you were snuggled so close to him, but you don't see us complaining." lami interjected. hina was shocked to her lami's words, but sure enough, hina was snuggled awfully close to jaemin in the photos. his arms were wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer to him while her nose rested in the crook of his neck and his head rested on top of hers. it was an intimate position, an extremely intimate position for people who just became acquaintances not so long ago. this was very unlike hina. hitting lami's arms in panic, she tried to give an excuse for her actions.

"y-yah lami you know my sleeping habits!" she stuttered, "why do you think I have an extra pillow in my bed?"  hina rubbed her hands nervously as she was put on the spot.

"i know your sleeping habits, but i didn't think it would be an issue this soon." lami cooly replied.

"hEY SHUT UP!!" hina yelled a little to disruptively, since jaemin tossed to the other side, unhooking his arms from hina's waist. now frozen in her place, hina waited till jaemin stopped moving once again. "we never let him know about this, okay? id rather die than have anyone else other than you guys know this happened." the girls nodded agreeingly; they didn't need a borderline stranger knowing hina snuggled up against him and vice versa.

"ay ay captain!" herin exclaimed enthusiastically. satisfied with the situation, hina got up from the couch to join the other girls.

"let's just let him sleep for a bit, it's still early." all the girls retired to the kitchen to chit chat about lord knows what as jaemin dozed away.

—

it was jaemin's turn to wake up in an unpleasant situation. before he could flutter his eyes open, he listened to giggles of several girls.

"haha he looks so pretty!" ningning giggled as lami yelled excitedly.

"quick! get a video!" as the girls had a blast, jaemin opened his eyes to see a smart phone waving around in his face.

"you're awake jaemin!! you're so beautiful.." herin cooed.

"beautiful? shouldn't you be calling me handsome?" then jaemin's eyes widened in realization. snatching herin's smartphone from her, he checked his reflection the camera. oh god, what did they do to me!? jaemin felt an instant ping of regret. his hair was pulled back with a pink polka dot headband that had a huge bow in the middle and his face was caked in exaggerated makeup that would look horrible on even a girl. he cringed internally as the girls bursted out laughing.

"like i said, you look beautiful !" herin exclaimed with hands folded to her face. jaemin checked out his reflection more throughly, it was now his turn to laugh.

"don't i look prettier than hina?" he proudly questioned the rest of the girls who nodded enthusiastically.

"totally!" yiyang interjected.

"okay okay funs over," hina approached jaemin with a wet wipe, "im taking this off!" she put her thumb on his chin as she aggressively rubbed the wipe against his skin.

"what are we going to do next?" jaemin asked with shut eyes.

"it's 7, don't you have to get home? your parents might worried." hina answered as she furthered the distance between them, finished with cleaning up with his face.

jaemin instantly frowned as he broke eye contact with hina. "but, i don't want to go home." he mumbled barely audibly. however, hina heard it, and decided not to pry any further.

"okay, stay here with me then." she responded, hoping he would receive the hint of support she tried to give him. jaemin slightly nodded.

he received her support, quite graciously in fact.

even if she didn't realize it.
