"Someone took a picture of you guys kissing," Laska explained, while Riley was trying to find the article on the internet.

"Yeah, everyone is going crazy about it," Astran nodded, just watching the situation along with Hana.

"Our manager has been calling Chan nonstop in the past twenty minutes," Seungmin joined the conversation, casually putting his arm around Hana's shoulder. I looked at the two of them, scanning them up and down, chuckling before I went back to thinking about the situation.

"Oh, here it is," Riley said, showing me her phone. There was really a picture of us kissing in the café and an extremely long paragraph talking about how we've been secretly dating.

"Fucking christ," I muttered, turning around to see Chris and Hyunjin. Minho, Changbin and Felix gathered around them too, talking about the best next move.

"I am sure they'll figure something out," Jeongin spoke up, also giving me one worried look. I nodded, not sure if I believed it.

We all knew the best next move. It would be keeping us away so people would stop talking about it. Shutting down the rumors was the best play, but from what I saw, none of us wanted to do that. Not even any of the members suggested that, because they knew if they would make Hyunjin keep his distance from me they would also need to keep distance from their partners.

"Babe, it'll be fine," Amy said, hugging me.

"Yeah," I mumbled, wrapping my hand around her waist. I wanted to believe her.

"Ey, group hug!" Riley exclaimed, joining the hug.

Laska, Hana and Astran joined right away. Seungmin and Jeongin shared one look before doing so, but they came to us too. The rest of the guys got to us too, joining in, everyone being silent for a second.

"I have a plan, don't worry, Izzy," Chris whispered as he stayed the only one hugging me. I smiled, nodding into his shoulder. This one, I really believed. When Chris said it it had to be true.

"Chris," I started, stopping him from letting go. "I actually love him," I whispered and he took a step back, still holding my shoulders as he looked into my eyes.

"I know you do," he nodded. "That's exactly why I have to take care of this. So you can continue loving him."

"You guys all agree, right?" Chris turned around, seeing his friends. "We can do it, right?"

"Yeah," Felix answered, glancing at Alaska with a smile.

"What are we talking about?" Seungmin asked confusedly, still all over Hana.

"Yeah, you kind of forgot to tell us," Jeongin mentioned.

"Right," Chris laughed, rubbing the back of his neck in embarrassment. "The plan we came up with," he looked over at Hyunjin and then back at the others. "Is to make sure he isn't alone in it."

"What do you mean?" Jisung asked.

"Well, because basically all of us are dating, we should all say we're dating. JYP can't disband us, we're the reason he's popular."

I raised my eyebrow at him and I wasn't the only one. Actually all of us did.

"And you're dating who exactly?" Laska asked, her arms crossed over her chest.

"I mean... no one but..." he looked over at Riley, who was obviously waiting for some sort of hint of him wanting them to date. "Riley, I really like you, you know that," he sighed, looking way more calm than before. As if he just got a big stone off his chest. "I just, I am too busy and didn't think you would want to deal with me."

"Are you serious?" Riley asked. "Have you ever heard me say I wouldn't be able to keep up with you working all the time?? I am more than willing to make it work, you're just waiting for something all the time!"

"I'm- I'm sorry," Chris said, surprised by what he just heard. Looks like we were right after all, he was just dumb this whole time. "Do you..." he started, getting cut off by Riley.

"Yes."

"I didn't even-"

"Yes."

Me and Laska had to laugh watching Riley simp for him so much again. They were really perfect for each other.

"Okay, okay," Chris chuckled. "Is everyone okay with it then?" He looked at the other pairs, getting a round of nods from them. "I have to call our manager again. Do you guys want to grab a coffee at our dorm while I try to figure things out?" He suggested, which obviously made Riley's eyes sparkle immediately. Her obsession with coffee was even bigger than mine so it wasn't surprising she agreed first.
