What if one day, you'll wake up, realizing that you have these feelings for a certain person? All you can see every time you close your eyes is his smile— his adorable eye smile. Heck, I even find his fake laugh cute.

I sighed, realizing that I've been thinking about him for the nth time today. Is love really like this? Another thing I realized is that I've been staring at nothingness for like... I don't know, maybe 30 minutes?

"Earth to Park Eunji!" Soeun snapped her hand in front of my face, causing me to blink several times before answering her.

"W-What?" I wanted to kill myself for stuttering, but it wasn't my fault that my throat was also dry at that moment.

Xiurong sighed, "Unnie, we've been talking here non-stop for about an hour already. Only to find out that you weren't listening." She sat on the couch in front of me.

I tried to laugh, just to lighten up the mood, but it didn't work. I coughed awkwardly, noticing their stares. "I'm sorry..."

"What could you be possibly thinking? Is it more important than your own schedule tomorrow?" Yui sat beside me.

Heck, they're younger than me and here they are, acting like they're the bosses once again! "Why are you guys like this? Have you forgotten than I'm older than all of you?" I raised a brow and stood up, throwing glares at them.

Junghee laughed and made a peace sign. "Hehe... unnie mian~" She giggled sheepishly.

I could only roll my eyes at them. "But seriously though, what were you thinking earlier? You seem to he in deep thoughts..." Yui said.

I sighed, "I... don't know."

"She's probably thinking about the other Park." Soeun smirked, and I just glared at her.

"Wait, who?" Junghee asked.

Soeun, Yui and Xiurong stood up and imitated his part in Black on Black.

They all laughed when they failed miserably. Well of course you can't imitate him. Try and you will fail. My Ji's one of a kind. Wait, hold up Eunji! What do you mean 'my'?!

"Park Jisung!!" The three exclaimed.

Junghee laughed, "You're lucky that Haejin-unnie isn't here."

***

The next morning, I woke up early. I went downstairs and cooked breakfast for everyone, even for our manager-unnie. I can't even believe that I, myself, woke up at 5:30 am, to cook breakfast for them.

I just cooked waffles and pancakes. I grabbed the butter, and the syrup from the fridge and placed them on the table. I also didn't forget to place plates, forks, and knives on it so that they would just eat when they wake up.

"Eunji-yah?" I looked at the staircase to see our manager still squinting her eyes. "Why are you already up this early? Plus, I should be the one doing the work and not you." She said, patting my shoulder.

I giggled, "I honestly don't know why I woke up this early." Oh come on, Park Eunji. You know yourself better than anyone. "Besides, you always cook for us, unnie. Time for me to repay you."

She smiled and ruffled my hair, "It's a bit unfortunate that Haejin isn't here." She laughed.

I scoffed, "Well, she's in Canada and I hope she never come back." I said in a joking way. How could I wish that girl to disappear? She's like my sister.

***

"Hi, Eunji-sshi! I will be your make up artist for today." A girl, which looked like in her early 20's, greeted me as soon as I entered the dressing room.

All of the artists that were included in the CF were already inside— well, except for the members in a certain group. I can't see Haechan-oppa and Renjun-oppa here. My heart dropped, Ji's still not here.

I let out a smile and started to think of happy thoughts.  I faced the make up artist. "Hello! Nice to meet you, Park Eunji imnida!" I greeted.

Seulgi-unnie turned her head towards me and waved. I waved back before skipping happily towards her. "Hi unnie!" I greeted, still smiling.

"Wow, you seem to be in a good mood today? Did something happen?" She asked, chuckling.

I shrugged, "Not really..."

"Oh, by the way, what happened to Haejin? I heard that she's in Canada right now..." She said.

I nodded, "Yeah, to move on from Jaemin."

Her eyes widened, "What?! You mean they broke up?!" She exclaimed, finally facing me.

I slowly nodded, "But we still believe that she still loves him, though. I never saw her throw everything he gave her." I shrugged.

"And about Jaemin?" Unnie raised a brow.

"He followed Haejin in Canada as soon as the press conference held was finished." I said.

The door opened. I turned to look at the person, or maybe people, who entered. It was Jisung, with his hyungs, but they weren't alone. They were with New Melody's Herin, and they were laughing heartily.

I looked back at the mirror, and the make up artist continued to style me. I just sighed, trying to ignore everyone else's presence.

Seulgi-unnie placed her hand on top of mine, with a worried look plastered on her face. "Are you okay? You aren't smiling anymore." She knows that I like him.

I weakly smiled at her, "Yeah, unnie... I'm fine, I guess?" I tried to force a laugh. Key word, tried.

I got called by one of the photographers for the photoshoot. I stood up and took a bow as a sign of respect and followed him outside. I saw him looking at me, but I couldn't care less. Why don't you just talk to your Herin?

I sat on the bench and did some sort of poses while holding the product that we were all endorsing. Seulgi-unnie came rushing towards me and sat on my left. I don't know if it's just me, or she was really smirking at me.

"You okay?" I asked, since she was really starting to creep the hell out of me.

She nodded and laughed, "Yeah, I just remembered something funny." Then suddenly, she burst out laughing. So she wasn't smirking. She was just trying to keep her laugh inside.

Renjun-oppa went outside the dressing room and went to the other photographer, since we were doing some different shots now, and later, we will be doing a group shot.

I noticed that Haechan-oppa left the dressing room with his phone in his hands. He was talking to someone, but I have no idea who. So that leaves Jisung and Herin alone inside the dressing room. Oh...

Luckily, the other photographer went inside the dressing room to call the two. Jisung went outside, trailing behind Herin, and I was too quick to avert my gaze even if he doesn't even know that I have feelings for him.

I smiled in front of the camera as the photographer clicked the shutter button countless times. I heard the photographer call Jisung's name and he apologized. What could he possibly be thinking?

Once our (Seulgi-unnie and I) shoot were done, Haechan-oppa returned to the studio and apologized to the photographers. He went to their station and stood beside Renjun-oppa to start their group shot.

Jisung and Herin were seated on the bench while Renjun-oppa anr Haechan-oppa were standing behind the bench, doing some wacky poses.

The two who were seated were laughing and smiling heartily, and I could only feel my heart clench. I hope it was me.

I was snapped back to reality when the photographer ordered us to go with him towards Jisung's station. Wait... hold up.... what?!

We just followed their orders and did what they told us to do.

Haechan-oppa was instructed to sit on the far left side of the bench, and Seulgi-unnie was told to sit on the other side. Renjun-oppa was seated next to Seulgi-unnie, and Herin sat beside Haechan-oppa.

Which makes me and Jisung, the only two who were left standing. He sat beside Herin and I sat beside Renjun-oppa. We were seated next to each other and I feel afraid. Afraid that he might hear my heartbeat getting louder and louder every second.

How am I supposed to pose comfortably if he's next to me?! I actually want to smack the person who planned this in the head, well if it's our CEO, then nah... I might lose my job. Jisung is love, but I love our fans more.

The photographer told us to do some poses and we did it, but I guess they weren't really satisfied with the outcomes since they kept on making us do the same things over and over again.

Come on, Park Eunji! You're GA's leader, you can do this! For G-Angels!

I smiled and sat comfortably. Which, I think, made the picture look good since the photographers who were frowning earlier, were now having smiles on their faces.

They clapped and we all took a bow, but it isn't done yet.

"Others can proceed to the other station. Park Eunji and Park Jisung, please stay."

And now, I badly want to bury myself alive.

He told us to pose. Just. the. two. of. us.

What's the best part is that we weren't endorsing, it was just for fun!

Jisung stood at the middle and I just followed him, wondering what pose we'll do.

"Just be comfortable with each other!" Manager Do, GA's manager, yelled.

I took a deep breath and was taken aback when he snaked his arm around my waist. I looked at him, "J-Jisung—"

"Shh, noona... just... let me..." He smiled weakly and faced the camera.

I inhaled and smiled, secretly loving the moment. If only this wasn't scripted...

I noticed that NCT's manager was also taking a picture of the two of us secretly. I wanna die.

The next pose, he placed his arm around my shoulder. His hand was hanging, so, I decided to hold it and smiled sheepishly, while he was looking at me weirdly. I heard the camera clicked, and it was done.

"Can you two do a sweet pose?"

Can I just bury myself alive? I badly wanted to beat the hell out of the photographers, but I also can't do it since I'm such a good person. O...kay?

Jisung went behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, placing his chin on my shoulder while pouting. I tensed up and placed my hand on top of his while smiling.

His warm breath landed on my skin, which sent thousand of electric bolts to my body. Can we stay like this... forever?

Finally, break time came and we decided to play a game of truth or dare to kill time.

Their manager approached him and whispered something in his ear which made him smack his manager's shoulder playfully.

The game started, and yet Jisung wasn't even paying attention. He was to engrossed in his phone that he didn't even noticed that the bottle was pointing at his direction.

Once they already explained the game to him, he shrugged. "I feel risky today. So... dare..."

Haechan-oppa rubbed his chin, as if he was thinking a dare that would ruin Jisung's life. " I dare you to do a 3 set aegyo to..." He looked around, and his eyes stopped on the girl that was seated beside me. "Herin!" He cheered.

What if it was me?

He took a deep breath and faced Herin.

"One."

Renjun-oppa and Haechan-oppa looked like they were the ones who's really having fun while watching Jisung suffer.

"Two."

Renjun-oppa and Haechan-oppa were smacking each other's head. Damn, don't they get hurt?

Jisung was already making a fan out of his hands, and he was already turning red, probably embarrassed.

"Three."

At this point, Renjun-oppa and Haechan-oppa were already smacking the floor. Jisung stood up while shaking his hand and jumping up and down. Cute.

Seulgi-unnie spun the bottle and it pointed at Herin.

Haechan-oppa smirked, "Herin, truth or dare..."

"Dare." Herin said.

"I dare you..." Haechan-oppa started. "To... have a staring contest with Jisungie!" He cheered.

For the nth time today, my heart sank. What am I doing still hoping that maybe, he also likes me back. It's clear. He likes Herin.

The said guy turned around and faced Herin. I stood up and excused myself, "Uh... I-I'll just... go to the washroom for a while." I took a bow and rushed outside.

I closed the door and covered my mouth. Tears immediately fell from my eyes. I ran towards the washroom and locked the door. I opened the faucet and washed my face, not caring if the make up I'm wearing would wear off.

"Love sucks..." I chuckled bitterly and wiped my face. I stared at my reflection and looked at my face that wasn't wearing any make up.

My eyes were a bit swollen, but I don't care at the moment since the photoshoot was already finished. I sighed and went back to the studio.

They were still playing, but I could clearly see Jisung looking at me. Probably because I'm bare faced now.

"Did you cry?" He asked out of the blue.

I didn't mind him and smiled at everyone. "Sorry if I took long.... I removed my make up because my face was itchy already..." I said.

They nodded.

"Noona, answer me... did you cry?"

I looked at him, giving him a blank face on. "What is it to you if I did?" I rolled my eyes.

The bottle stopped and it was pointing my direction.

"Truth or dare." Renjun-oppa asked.

"Truth." I sighed. I'm not stupid, I want to play it safe.

"You guys can ask her questions, I can't think of anything..." Renjun-oppa said.

Jisung stood up, his foot hitting the floor hard. It made us all flinch. "Noona, answer my question then. Did you cry."

"Yes I did! Why, do you have a problem with that?!" I asked, my tears were threatening to fall once again.

"But why?!" Jisung shouted back.

His voice made me flinch from my seat. "None of your business!" I yelled back.

"Guys... hey... what's going on?" Seulgi-unnie asked, trying to stand between the two of us.

I averted my gaze away and sighed. Why am I like this.

"Is there something that we should know?" Seulgi-unnie asked once Jisung sat down. She looked at Jisung. "Jisung-ah?" She looked at me. "Eunji-yah?"

The two of us shook our heads and it made Seulgi-unnie sigh.

She stood up, gesturing the others to follow her. They all stood up, leaving me and Jisung the only ones who are seated.

"You two should talk. It seems like you have something to say to each other. We'll leave you two alone." Seulgi-unnie said, leaving the room, with the others trailing behind her.

The door closed and I looked at him awkwardly. How am I supposed to look at him after everything that happened? The pose! And the argument!

"N-Noona..." He was the first one to talk. He moved his chair closer to me. "I'm sorry for earlier... I-I... didn't mean to yell at you."

I didn't look at him and just let him talk.

"I... I just wanted to know... i-if you cried and—"

"Jisung, tell me." I faced him. "Why does it matter to you if I cried or not?"

His face softened, "Because I... I care for you..." He looked down, avoiding my gaze.

My heart started to beat fast. "Why? Why are you saying these things? You like Herin, right..?"

"What—"

"Jisung, just stop. Don't make my heart break even more..."

"Noona..." He stood up and hugged me. "I-I... didn't know... Believe me when I say that Herin and I are just friends... please... d-don't cry.."

I looked at him. "W-Why are you saying these things to me? Not like—"

He knelt down so that he could be the same level as me.

I felt my heart was beating so fast. I was so afraid that it would burst out any moment.

He kissed me on the cheek. "Park Eunji. I love you, and only you." He smiled, showing his adorable eye smile.

My mind can't function well.

I just find myself smiling, my tears were long gone.

"I..."

I looked at him and smiled.

"I like you too."
