"Jisung-ah."

I turned to look at Mark-hyung, who was approaching me. He was holding two cups of bubble tea. He reached out his hand to give the other one to me. I reached for it and thanked him.

"Why are you still here? It's past your bed time." Hyung said, leaning over the railings.

I shrugged and sipped from the drink, "I honestly don't know. I feel sleepy but every time I try to sleep, I always end up staring at the ceiling for no reason." I said and looked at the stars.

"Hmm... maybe you're thinking of something, or maybe someone." Mark-hyung said and grinned mischievously.

I shook my head, finding his theory unbelievable. "Who am I supposed to fall in love with?"

That didn't stop hyung. He came closer, his smirk was still on his face, and I badly want to rub it off his face. "Jisung, did I even say that you're in love?"

That caught me red handed. "I-I... What else could it be then?!" I said, trying to divert the topic.

Mark-hyung leaned on the railings once again and sighed, "You're in love." It wasn't a question. He wasn't asking. He sounded certain. "Who's the lucky girl?"

I sighed, deciding to give in since I can't lie to any of my hyungs. "Rather than saying it, how could you say if you're in love?" I asked him.

Aside from Jaemin-hyung, I know that Mark-hyung knows a lot about love since he was already in a relationship. It's just a pity that they didn't last that long.

Mark-hyung rubbed his chin, as if he was thinking deeply. "If you care about her. If she doesn't seem to leave your mind. If you always think about her. Words aren't enough to describe love, Jisung-ah. You have to feel it yourself."

"Yah, Park Jisung, ireona!" I heard Haechan-hyung yell while barging into my room.

I groaned and threw a pillow at him, full force. "Go away, I want to sleep!"

Haechan-hyung threw the pillow back at me and yelled, "WE HAVE SCHEDULES TODAY!!!!"

"What are you saying?" I groaned. "Jaemin-hyung isn't even here! He followed Haejin in Canada!" I said, pulling my blanket over my head once again.

"Did I even say that it's us NCT? It's for a commercial! It's gonna be you, me and Renjun from NCT, Eunji from GA, Choi Herin from New Melody, and Seulgi-noona!" Haechan-hyung said.

I immediately sat up when I heard her name. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" I smiled and sat up. "Good morning, handsome hyung!" I said and wore my slippers and rushed outside.

"Whipped." I heard him say.

***

"Haechan-oppa!" Though we weren't mentioned, Renjun-hyung and I also turned our heads to wards the girl who was rushing towards us.

It was Herin. She's Haechan's cousin, that's why she also became kinda close to some of us, but not as close as Haejin, of course.

Haechan-hyung hugged his cousin and smiled, "It's a surprise that you came here earlier than us." He said, noticing that her hair was already styled, and she was already wearing the clothes that were meant for the CF.

Herin laughed, "I don't know why. Oh, let's go? Only the four of you are not yet styled." She said.

"Four? But there are only three of us, Herin-ah." I raised a brow.

"Oh, Eunji-unnie too!" She cheered as she pulled Haechan-hyung away from us.

Renjun-hyung looked at me and patted my back, "Good luck, Jisung-ah."

We followed Herin and Haechan-hyung towards the dressing room. My eyes scanned the studio, and heol, what are we gonna do here? It was too big for six people!

"Herin-ah, did you know that Renjun slipped earlier because he was in a rush?" Haechan-hyung grinned at Renjun-hyung who was trailing behind him.

Herin looked at Renjun who was getting pissed, "Jinjja? Why were you in a rush, oppa?" She laughed.

"He thought that we were already late. So he slipped because of the powder that were scattered on the floor." I answered which made everyone, including Renjun-hyung, laughed.

Herin opened the door, and my eyes widened when I saw her beside Seulgi-noona. Her hair was getting done, and she was looking at me. Or was it Renjun-hyung or Haechan-hyung?

At the corner of my eye, I saw Seulgi-noona placed her hand on top of hers, she was mumbling words that I can't understand because they were far from us.

I looked at their hands once again, and silently wished that it was me.

She was the first one that was called by the photographer. She just nodded and stood up, leaving the dressing room. I just watched her left the room. I sighed once she finally left.

"Weak." Haechan-hyung sat beside me and parted my back.

I just glared at him and stared at my shoes. "I don't get... why am I like this?" I sighed, covering my face with my hands.

"Maybe you love her that much, Jisung-oppa." Herin laughed. "Why, what are you feeling right now anyways?" She raised a brow.

Before I could talk, Seulgi-noona stood up and faced the rest of us, "You know, Jisung-ah, just... be mindful of your surroundings, okay?" She smiled. "Just... observe..." She said and left the room because she was also called.

"I don't get it." I groaned and pulled my hair in frustration.

The door opened and the photographer peeked inside. "Renjun-ssi?" He asked, looking for hyung.

Renjun-hyung stood up and patted my back before leaving the dressing room. Haechan-hyung's phone rang, and he stood up. "It's Taeyong-hyung. I have to answer it or else he'll nag at me again." He sighed and left the roomz

"Jisung-ssi?" The photographer opened the door and looked around. "Where's Haechan-sai?" He asked.

"Oh, hyung answered his phone." I answered politely.

He nodded, "It should be your turn with Herin and Haechan, but I guess you two do it first since Haechan isn't here yet." He said, gesturing us to go outside.

We went outside and saw the others posing in front of the camera. I turned to the left, and she was there, seated on the bench while wearing a light blue dress that was up to her knees. Her hair was tied up to a bun, and she was smiling brightly. She's beautiful— even more beautiful with make up on.

"Jisung-ssi?" I turned towards our photographer and shook my head as I went back to reality. Damn, I didn't notice that I was already zoning out.

I took a bow and went towards our station. "I'm sorry." I laughed and sat beside Herin, because the director told me so.

Haechan-hyung returned after a few minutes and I noticed that the other station was already done with their thing. Hyung apologized and ran beside Renjun-hyung.

The photographer counted to three and we all did our respective poses. Renjun-hyung looking like he's gonna hit Haechan-hyung. Haechan-hyung looking like he was trying to avoid Renjun-hyung. While Herin and I were just laughing at the two.

But it would be better if she was in Herin's place. Not like she knows what I feel about her anyways. Besides, she's a year older than me. I still have to call her noona.

Our station's shoot ended and our photographer called the other station's photographer. He also called Eunji-noona and Seulgi-noona. The two followed the photographer who was walking towards our place.

He made us stand up and leave the place. I wonder what's gonna happen next.

"Since it's a long bench, all of you are gonna sit down and do some poses, okay?" He smiled at is and we all nodded, replying a 'yes'.

Haechan-hyung was instructed to seat at the far left side of the bench, and Seulgi-noona was instructed to sit on the other side. Herin was told to sit next to Haechan-hyung, and Renjun-hyung was instructed to sit next to Seulgi-noona.

Oh boy, I don't like where this is heading...

I took a deep breath when Eunji-noona and I were the only ones who were left standing. I sat beside Herin and she sat beside Renjun-hyung. How am I supposed to smile comfortably if she's seated next to me?!

Although my hyungs aren't seated next to me, I could clearly hear their chuckles, which makes me even more uncomfortable than I already am.

They told us to do some poses and we did, but it seems like they weren't happy with the results. They sighed and removed the cameras that were hanging on their necks. "One more." One of them said.

I took a deep breath and tried to imagine that my other hyungs were here. I tried to imagine that we were just in front of our fans.

"Okay, good." They finally smiled and clapped their hands. We stood up and took a bow.

Finally, it's over— "Others can prcoeed to the other station. Park Eunji and Park Jisung, please stay." JUST WHEN I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS FINALLY OVER.

I sighed and watched my hyungs leave this side of the studio. Noona and I went towards the photographer and asked what was the problem with the two of us.

"There isn't a problem." He chuckled. "I just need you two to pose there, okay? You need not to hold ajy of the products anymore."

Noona and I just looked at each other, but at most, we were both confused.

I just stood there and she followed.

"Just... be comfortable with each other."

BUT HOW?!???

I took a deep breath and let everything sink in. You can do this, Jisung Park.

***

Break time came and we all grabbed our own chairs and formed a circle. They were thinking of a game or some sort to kill time.

I will he honest, I really like how our pictures earlier turned out. I turned to look at my right when someone poked my shoulder. It was our manager.

"Hyung?" I asked.

He grinned mischievously, "Enable your phone's air drop... I'll send the pictures to you." He whispered.

I playfully smacked his shoulder and laughed. Our hyung is really that supportive. I grabbed my phone that was in my pocket and turned he WiFi and Bluetooth on anyways.

He sent the three pictures to me and I smiled when I saw them.

"Jisung-ah." Renjun-hyung nudged my foot using his to get my attention.

I kept my phone and tried to hide my smile.

"What is it, hyung?" I asked.

"It's your turn." Seulgi-noona said.

I was beyond confused at the moment. "What?" I noticed that they were all waiting for me to answer. Oh right, we were about to play something. "Wait... what are we playing?" I asked.

"Truth or dare, Jisung-ah." Haechan-hyung asked me.

I shrugged, "I feel risky today. So... dare..."

Hyung rubbed his chin. He's probably thinking of a dare that would ruin my reputation. "I dare you to do a 3 set aegyo to..." He looked around to look for his next victim. "Herin!"

Why aegyo though?! Of all things, and it has to be aegyo!

I took a deep breath and faced Herin.

Come on, Jisung-ah.

"One."

They laughed, but Renjun-hyung and Haechan-hyung were obviously cringing. Herin was laughing so hard. Haechan-hyung knows that his cousin hates people who do aegyo.

I'm not doing it cutely though?

"Two."

At this point, Haechan-hyung and Renjun-hyung were already smacking each other's head. Eunji-noona was covering her mouth, obviously hiding her laugh.

"Three."

Haechan-hyung dripped down and was punching the floor, but not too hard.

I took a deep breath and started to rethink my life decisions. Why did I choose dare in the first place?

The game went on and the hyungs were really giving each other silly dares. Like, run around and scream someone's name like a total maniac or like... do a formal bow 50 times.

The bottle stopped at Eunji-noona's direction. My heart started to beat fast.
