Sunghoon's POV

After going to Jake's hospital in an ambulance, we had finally switched to his car in the parking lot in which we were supposed to go back to Thea's house. Jayoung couldn't accompany us, but she sure did left plenty of instructions to me and Thea on how we should take care of Heeseung, with the said male assuring his nurse that he will be fine.

Talk about me getting sick after seeing Heeseung behave like that around his nurse unlike my fellow partner who thought it was really cute.

Like geez, would it kill him to talk so sweetly with me unlike how he just spits insults at me as if I'm a piece of trash bag? 

I swear— life is so unfair, reality shows could never.

"So," Thea spoke up from the front seat, breaking the silence in the car. When we were swapping our vehicles, Thea had called dibs on the front seat beside the driver's, which meant I was stuck in the backseat along with Heeseung. "How did you guys meet?" She asked, turning her head around to look at Jake and then at us.

"We went to high school together." I replied, earning a hum in response from the male driving the car.

"The amount of headache you two used to give me being my juniors was tremendous." Heeseung piped up, earning a yell in protest from me and Jake which made Thea burst out into peals of laughter.

"Please— you were the most absent minded, if you ask me." I retorted, targeting the older. "Remember the time you lent one of your textbooks to someone and then almost ended up yelling at us thinking that we were pulling a prank on you by stealing your textbook?" I reminded him, the scene still fresh in my mind. Jake burst out laughing as he nodded, agreeing with me.

"I thought I was going to get murdered that day." He said, looking at both of us through the rear-view mirror. 

"Seriously?! And I thought Heeseung was quiet." Thea remarked, laughter still pouring out of her mouth uncontrollably.

"He is definitely not." Jake stated, shaking his head while he continued to drive us to Thea's house. Heeseung began saying something in protest when my phone vibrated, indicating I had received a message. I fished out my phone from my pocket and realised Thea was texting me. 

I rolled my eyes and put my phone back down, just to be smacked on my knee by the female. I furrowed my eyebrows and looked at her through the side-view mirror, only to see her glaring at me. Blowing out a puff of air, I unlocked my phone and read her messages.

I kept my phone down and glanced at the side-view mirror to see Thea looking at me curiously.

"Jake, how's your girlfriend?" I asked, still looking at Thea's face for her reaction. Her eyes widened at my question, burying her face in her hand in embarrassment and pretending to massage her forehead to avoid suspicions.

"She's great, thanks for asking." He said, smiling. I nodded, looking down at my phone again while Heeseung started talking about some incident which had taken place in the past.

Me:
so, you were saying?

The person to be ignored:
i hate my luck

The person to be ignored:
why are all handsome men out of reach TT

Thea's POV

I looked at Sunghoon through the side-view mirror, only to see his eyebrows furrowed and type on his phone. I smiled to myself, knowing I had triggered him.

Do not pick up:

istg thea-

"What the hell are you doing on the phone, Sunghoon?" I suddenly heard Heeseung speak up from behind, causing me to turn around and see what was going on.

"Checking the news." He muttered, glancing at me and then looking at Heeseung.

If he had looked at me for a few more seconds, I would have combusted on the spot with the amount of anger in his eyes and the number of daggers he was shooting at my direction.

"Don't lie. I saw you typing something." Heeseung pressed it further, knowing Sunghoon was not being straight with him.

"Perhaps he has a secret girlfriend?" Jake piped up, making me almost choke on my air as I tried really hard not to laugh out loud. Sunghoon's eyes widened while he shook his head furiously.

"Are you both insane?! I don't have a girlfriend!" He yelled in protest, his gaze falling on me and giving me the look which clearly said 'take-my-side-or-face-the-consequences'.

"No guys, he isn't dating. With that personality of his, I wonder which poor girl would even think of dating him." I stated, shaking my head solemnly as if it was really a pitiable fact. Heeseung and Jake burst out laughing, making my fellow associate even more embarrassed than he already was.

━━━━━(🍂)━━━━━

"If you need anything, call me." I heard Jake say from the main door, while I was busy shifting a few things in the room so that it would be easier for the three of us to stay here.

"Thanks, dude. I'll surely call if something happens." Sunghoon said, before bidding his friend goodbye. After organizing the messy room, I placed my hand on my waist and stood there, thinking of the new arrangements we have to make in order to live here for quite a few days.

"What's wrong?" Sunghoon asked from behind, after closing the main door. I sighed, shaking my head and walking towards the boxes kept in the corner, reading the names written on them.

"I have a few extra mattresses with me. It's going to be for both of us." I told him while I pulled the desired box towards me and opened it's flap to see if it was the right one.

"What about the bed?" Sunghoon asked, confused.

"I called dibs on it!" I heard Heeseung yell from the bedroom, followed by the sound of something falling on the ground. "Nothing's broken!" I heard him yell again from the room, followed by a nervous chuckle.

"I hate this." The whiny baby complained while helping me take out the air mattresses out of the box. I chuckled at his response, shaking my head.

"Oh come on, it's going to be fun."
