Exactly three hours later, I poked my head into the practice room to find the boys still practising. Seeing them, my eyes teared up. I quickly hid behind the door before anyone could see me.

I couldn't help it. Not after what my father had told me.

Yes, at first I got a long lecture about being irresponsible and sleeping in a house full of boys with no protection. However he promised not to tell mother about this just this once. He also admitted he wasn't planning on keeping me grounded for so long, but with the fanmeeting and concert he was so busy that he forgot all about it.

It was when he forgave me for sleeping with Suga that he said something that really made me fall in love to the boys - no not in a romantic way.

He told me that when BangPD gave Suga permission to personally come return my phone all boys had protested against this. And even when they were threatened with three extra hours of practice, they promised to endure through it if they let them go with Suga.

All just to return my phone and officially let me know I was allowed back in BigHit entertainment.

When I was sure I wouldn't cry the moment I see them, I peeked my head in again. Nope, they were still dancing. Hmm, considering their three hours are over, I wonder if Mr. Son would get mad at me for interrupting.

I mean, I don't really know Mr. Son, other than the fact that he is their choreographer. I have seen him round the building, exchanged greeting in passing or talking to BangPD, but I don't personally know him. Not as much as the stylist unnie's or even the people from costume department or electronics - which is my forte.

This was mainly due to me avoiding their practice room.

Anyways, I'm straying from the point.

Finally the song faded out and the boys were standing in the ending pose for Dope.

Taking this as my chance, I ran into the room. Their back was turned to me so none of them saw me coming. I jumped straight at Jimin's back, my hand outstretched to reach Suga and Jungkook as well. All three of us stumbled startling the other members.

J-Hope actually stumbled a step back in shock, while everyone else laughed

"Awww, you all didn't get bowled down like pin balls." I pouted, taking step back.

"Ha-Ya, don't scare us like that." J-Hope told me, but with a smile, even ruffling my hair. Giggling and ducking my head in apology, I apologised to him.

"But what did you mean by not bowled down?" Jungkook asked me curiously. It was embarrassing to say that I actually stared at him in surprise when he talked to me.

In my defence I had never thought he'd talk to me. I mean, all other times he has talked to me were literally forced on us - the first two times by Suga, then due to certain circumstances. And most of them had been to reassure me things were fine (when it wasn't Suga forcing him to talk).

Suga nudged my side and I blinked, dropping my gaze.

"Well, you all were standing in bowling pin position, so when I slammed into Jimin Oppa, Suga Oppa and you, you all should have been knocked down like bowling pins." I explained. "But it didn't work." I pouted with a shrug.

"Did you want us to get knocked down?" Jimin asked extremely close to my ear. I jumped not having seen him approach me.

Looking over my shoulder at him, I nodded my head.

"Alright then, go to the door." J-Hope laughed, nudging me towards the door. Meanwhile Jimin and Jungkook were pulling Suga to his feet. Not understanding what was happening, I gave J-Hope a puzzled look before complying.

When I went to the door and turned around, I found the boys all standing in position, grinning at me.

Jimin even playfully raised his arms for a hug.

Surprised I looked at Mr. Son, but he was simply enjoying the boys playfulness. Seeing me looking he shrugged his shoulder, motioning me to go ahead.

Grinning widely - all my teeth showing - I raced towards them, my hands held apart on either side.

"I LOVE YOU BOYS!!!" I exclaimed right before jumping on Jimin - who was in the centre. Just like earlier, my hands pulled on Jungkook and Suga.

Except this time the three boys fell on the row of boys in the back, and everyone actually got knocked down. Not having expected it all, I tumbled down with them.

Jimin body cushioned my fall, but everyone of us were to busy laughing to really care that I was on top of all the boys - having fallen down in one big heap. One by one we rolled off the other, but stayed laughing on the floor.

"Alright, up everyone gets." Mr. Son called clapping his hands. Groaning in protest, the boys sat up while I stayed as I was on the floor, tilting my head to see their choreographer.

"Aren't we done?" Suga questioned, he was still on the the floor. Unlike me, he was sitting.

"We just have to go through your last dance routine and we're done for the day."  Mr Son said earning more groans and protests from the boys.

"I guess that's my que to leave." I said with a laugh as I got to my feet.

"You can stay miss Soo, just not in the boys way." Mr Son told, a hand on my head.

Honestly what was with everyone always petting me? I hadn't thought of it much when it was just Suga doing it. But I suddenly realised almost everyone in BigHit pats my hair. Is it because I was short? Strange.

"Eun-Ha." I corrected out of habit, smiling at the choreographer. "But I can do something more productive elsewhere than loligag here." I added before starting towards the door.

I was almost to the door when someone caught my hand. I looked back to find Suga frowning at me.

"Do you know what time it is?" He asked me. Glancing over his shoulder to see everyone taking position, I shook my head. "It's almost 2 a.m. Go home Eun-Ha." He sighed rubbing his forehead.

I chuckled, shaking my head.

"It's 'kay Oppa. I can't go home yet. You're my ride." I told. Then giving a quick peck on his cheek, I left the room. This time no one stopped me.

Asking around no one wanted my help. In fact, they did need help, they just didn't want to overwork me. I still had school in the morning. I guess everyone also heard about me finally having met and befriended all the guys, because they were insistent I stayed in the practice room so I could catch a ride back with them.

Not really happy with this arrangement, but too tired to complain, I made my way back. They were busy dancing, so creeping into the room, I sat on a corner. Pulling my phone out, now that I finally had permission to go online, I did exactly that.

My need for background music was being fulfilled by seven boys shouting the songs and they song playing for them to practice.

The practice didn't extend past ten minutes but their choreography was quite tiring - not to mention hard. Which was why all boys groaned and went looking for water bottles/towels or laid down exactly where they were. Suga plopped down next to me and used my lap as a cushion, lying down on the floor beside me.

He seemed to have fallen asleep the moment his head laid on my lap. Shaking my head, I grabbed a nearby towel and started dabbing the sweat from his face and neck.

"No fair Yoongi Hyung! I want an Eun-Ha pillow too!" J-Hope suddenly exclaimed. Only, he was ignored by Suga, who didn't even crack his eyes open. I think he really fell asleep.

I laughed, thinking he was joking. Until he decided to squeeze himself between the wall and me. I would have moved, but Suga was heavy. Still, I shifted about so he would have some space to sit. Then he wrapped his arms around me and squeezed me, laying his cheek on top of my head.

"Ah, comfortable." He sighed nuzzling my hair.

Chuckling - yes, I wasn't bothered that two men dripping wet with sweat was drenching me in their sweat. Even if I minded, I couldn't push them off. Not after first-hand witnessing how hard they worked for their A.R.M.Y.

Instead I grabbed a different towel - they were stacked close to where I was sitting - I wiped J-Hope's sweaty face as well. He stayed still, letting me do as I pleased, not complaining even when I wiped his hair - which was messing the style up.

"Thankx Eun-Ha." He said once I was done. Giving me a smile he got up, and walked off. I couldn't see where he went because when I turned I found Jimin kneeling in front of me.

I cocked my head, wondering what he wanted.

He sheepishly held his towel out for me. "Do you mind?"

Laughing - how could any girl resist that cute smile? - I patted the space J-Hope had left. Grin widening - and he went from cute to sexy in the blink of an eyes (I wasn't fazed only because of all those videos I watch of exactly this happening) - he settled down beside me.

Like J-Hope he had to squeeze, but his tinier frame gave him a tad bit more room than for J-Hope.

"Me too!" V exclaimed as he bounced over to us. Wow, this boy had energy. He settled down in the place Jimin had abandoned, and awaited while I wiped Jimin's hair.

Once I was done with both, everyone was ready to leave. The boys were standing around debating who should wake Suga.

I watched them debate for a while with amusement, but they never seem to come to a conclusion.

"Shall I wake Oppa?" I questioned deciding to help them out. Also they were killing time by doing this.

Six headed turned my way.

"Eun-Ha, we could never ask you to do that." Jin said walking over to me, even kneeling down. "Suga is scary when he wakes up." He added widening his eyes in emphasis.

"I know." I said with a smile. It wasn't like I had never been cussed out by him for waking him up before. It had happened enough to no longer faze me.

I looked round for agreement. They were reluctant but finally agreed - as none of them wanted to do it.

Poking his cheek, I whispered "Oppa, time to go home. You can take a wash and sleep."

He smacked my hand away, grumbling incoherently. Turning around he snuggled into my tummy and went on sleeping.

Chuckling I poked his other cheek.

"Oppa, I have school tomorrow, so we really need to go."

"#5*#&#*%*#&, Eun-Ha." He grumbled as he sat up, eyes still closed. The rest of the boys looked shocked that he told that to me, but I only rolled my eyes.

"Yes, yes. Now up you get." I said, giving his back a push, nudging him to stand up. Shooting me a glare, he finally got to his feet and walked straight out of the room.

"Done." I said springing to my feet and facing the boys. "Let's go."

Grabbing both mine and Oppa's bag, I raced out after him.

The others quickly caught up with me. With Suga's sluggish pace it wasn't exactly hard.

"I'm surprised Eun-Ha didn't slap him for what he said. But I'll apologise for him." Jimin said, slinging his arm around me. What was up with this boy and always slinging his arm around my shoulder? He did it whenever he talked to me.

I wouldn't be complaining - he was hot and cute as hell - except it was seriously distracting.

"You don't have to, I already knew Oppa would say that." I told my docks. I was red enough in the face. No need to resemble more of a tomato by looking at him. "He'll apologise in a moment anyway." I added smiling - still at my own shoes.

And just like I said he would, he did. We had settled into the van, and he had hugged me tightly before apologising softly in my ear. Jimin who heard him grinned at me over his shoulder.

Dropping me off at my dorm, they stayed until I was securely inside.

Slumping my shoulders, I sneaked upstairs, trying not to make noise. Carefully closing the room door behind me, I blindly grabbed my nightdress and sneaked to the washroom.

Taking a shower, blow drying my half-long hair and changing into my nightdress I snuck back to my room.

Except the moment I opened the door I froze. The light was on and Ha-neul was sitting on my bed. Dropping my gaze, I closed the door after me and stalked over to the dresser.

"Eun-Ha." Her voice startled me. Looking at her through the mirror I waited for her to continue. "I'm sorry."

This made me turn around to face her. Yes, I was hurt by her actions. She should know better than anyone that Suga wasn't someone I'd mess around with. We respected each other for some fling like that. Also, she knows very well what Suga means to me.

The fact that she had jumped to conclusions, much less believed those videos hurt.

"I shouldn't have..." she started before shaking her head. "No, I should have believed you, not what I saw and what everyone was telling. I mean I knew that you and Yoongi are nothing like that. He wouldn't sleep around with you or you with him. But my heart didn't want to accept it. Especially when everyone was talking about his girlfriend and they were meaning you.

I just... I'm so sorry Eun-Ha. It just hurt Okay. My best friend sleeping with the guy I love. Even if I knew you wouldn't, all evidence proved that you did and I couldn't get around it."

"I explained what happened right in front of you. Not only me, even Suga and Jungkook told you." I said, turning away to hide the tears gathering in my eyes.

"Everyone was teasing about your date with Yoongi before you two stayed over. What did you expect me to think?" She asked, her voice raising slightly.

"Ha-neul, what could possibly have happened between me and Oppa after we went home. Didn't Jungkook already say that I was passed out when they took me home?" I asked, turning around sharply.

Was she really trying to apologise? Or just blame me for everything?

"I know! It was stupid of me, that's why I'm asking for forgiveness from you. I behaved like an idiot." She told me, sounding sincere. "I'm sorry Eun-Ha."

I sighed deeply, before laying my comb on the vanity and walking to my bed. Sitting down beside her I wrapped my arms around her, forgiving.

"It's okay Ha-neul. It's in the past now." I whispered.

She was my best friend, and a stupid decision and seven boys are not going to change that. I don't want the rift in our friendship to be because of a boy. Any boy. Even Suga. Which is why forgiving her was easy.
