❝I smile for you every day,
I pray for you
With thoughts of you, I fall asleep,
I open my eyes as I call for you
You protect me by my side
and you embrace me
You are my heaven.❞

"Bumzu hyung?" Jihoon was quite shocked. It has been a while since he saw his teacher.
"Jihoon! How's the new school?"
Kye Bumju, or widely known as Bumzu, graduated from Pledis Academy as an S class student. He was a dear friend of Jihoon's, they met after a competition. Bumzu himself suggested Pledis Academy to the boys.
"Great. Thanks for the suggestion, I like it a lot," Jihoon smiled sweetly.
Eunbyul sat there smiling to herself, staring her old music teacher.
Ever since Eunbyul got into high school, Bumzu was one of her first friends, besides the three girls. They met in the music room.
At that time, Eunbyul wasn't known widely as a composer, even if she was in an S class. Bumzu saw her talent and taught her carefully how to play the right notes, write the appropriate lyrics and so on.
After talking to Jihoon for awhile, Bumzu finally realized Jihoon wasn't sitting there alone.
Looking at Eunbyul for a short while, Bumzu smiled and recognized her, "How have you been, Little Star?"
Little Star was a nickname Bumzu gave to her back in the days.
Jihoon was shocked obviously. He didn't know those two knew each other longer than he had known Bumzu.
"You two know each other?" He asked.
"You're not my only student, Jihoon," Bumzu laughed.
Eunbyul eye smiled cutely while Bumzu explained the whole situation.
They invited Bumzu for a treat but he said he was busy and had to go any minute, so he only sat next to them.
Then, there was a minute of silence before Bumzu spoke up with a loud laugh, "In all boys, why did you choose Jihoon?"
Eunbyul widen her eyes and blushed before shaking her hands rapidly, she used sign language to speak with Bumzu as he too knows sign language, We're not dating! We're just really close friends having ice cream!
Jihoon obviously understood, he pouted and placed his hand on his chest playful hugging his heart, "No not the friend zone!"
Bumzu was having a blast with the two, but he had to leave when his phone rang.
Before he left, he whispered softly into Eunbyul's ears, "Jihoon really likes you, he never does aegyos to anyone else. Take care of him for me, okay?"
Though blushed, Eunbyul nodded slightly. Jihoon was sitting there dumbfounded.
Bumzu soon left. Not long after, Jihoon and Eunbyul walked home. Today, they decided to go to the boy's dormitory to finish their work in Jihoon's private studio.
- Eunbyul's POV -
It was already 8 pm. Damn time flies when you're having fun.
Jihoon suggested we should go to his place to get all the work done, he didn't want to bother me even if I insisted.
When we arrive at their dorm, I could already hear noises from inside.
"YAH! IDIOT GIVE ME BACK THE TOOTHPASTE!"
"Hell no, it's our last tube!"
Jihoon tapped on my shoulder and whispered a sorry. I giggled and waved my hands, saying it's fine.
He knocked on the door and the noises stopped.
Wow, he sure is powerful.
"COMING!" I heard one of them shout.
The door opened up and a smiling Seokmin stood in front of us.
"Oh hey there Eunbyul!" He smiled, ruffling his hair.
And with that sentence, I saw the boys inside looking outside, towards me. They had shocked expressions on.
I waved at them awkwardly.
They waved back and rushed back inside, running wildly.
"Sorry, we were having karaoke night," Seokmin smiled awkwardly, scratching his head.
"Isn't that Friday? It's only Wednesday," Jihoon had a disapproved and confused face on.
"Yeah, but we would be busy this Friday, so we changed the dates," he smiled then let us in.
I was keeping my laughter in. Things were hilarious.
The dorm was a mess, expected from boys.
"Eunbyul!" Mingyu, who came from nowhere, rushed in and gave me a welcoming hug.
I moved my hands while giggling, You guys were having fun, huh?
"Yup, hope you don't mind."
No, not at all, just afraid I ruined it for you guys though.
"Ah no not at all haha," he scratched his head.
These guys are really suspicious.
From the corner of my eye, I could see Seokmin whispering something to Jihoon.
ARE THEY PLANNING SOMETHING??
"Soooooo why are you here?" Mingyu asked, bringing me back to reality.
For school work, I hope you don't mind.
"Of course not! Jihoon's studio is in the second room from the stairs on the first floor," Mingyu smiled and showed me the way.
Jeonghan jumped in from nowhere, "Now dear, we trust you two, as we did the past week, but only do your work and if I hear a single weird noise in there I'll burn his studio."
Geez, he's scary sometimes. And as if we'll do anything in there.
I nodded and pinky promised him.
I went inside the studio before Jihoon did. It was freaking beautiful.
From the outside, it seemed pretty lame, but once you step inside it's like a new universe.
There was a dim purple light across the room, small lava lamps around the place and, of course, a bunch of little toys here and there.
I sat on his comfy couch, playing with my phone.
But after a while, I got bored and decided to go around the dorm.
When I opened the door, I was startled when I saw Seungcheol.
"Oh hi, Eunbyul. Jihoon's taking a shower, by the way," he smiled softly at me.
I nodded and wrote a small note on my phone, Is it okay if I tour around your dorm?
He read it and smiled, "Of course! I'll show you around. But uh... I'm sorry if the place is messy haha."
I giggled and followed him downstairs to the living room.
There I saw Minghao eating some chips watching Seokmin and Soonyoung arm wrestle.
"GIVE UP YOU HORSE I'M ALREADY WINNING!"
"HEY, THAT'S RUDE, HAMSTER HYUNG!"
I was trying my best to hold my laughter in. It was hilarious, their faces were both so serious and that made it even funnier.
"Aish you guys are so bad at these games," Minghao continued eating his chips watching the two.
Seungcheol whispered in my ear, "I'm sorry you had to see that."
I giggled and nodded.
He then walked me to the kitchen, where I saw Junhui and Seungkwan making snacks while Vernon and Chan did a weird dance behind them.
"Hey noona~" Chan greeted me with his adorable little gummy smile.
I smiled back and waved at him.
"Ugh, kids. I'll be in the living room if you need me," Seungcheol yawned and waved goodbye. Chan stuck out his tongue playfully at Seungcheol making me giggle.
Seungkwan walked to me and gave me a cheese sandwich, "Try this noona, Hansol made it."
I took a bite on the sandwich, a little too much cheese but I liked it. I gave them a thumbs up. And I swear I saw Veron's face light up.
"See I told you it's a masterpiece!" He squealed. And yet I thought he was the quiet mysterious one.
"I and Vernon are having a cook-off. Seungkwan's on my team while Chan is on Vernon's. Please try my dish as well, Byul!" Junhui handed me a plate of sausages and eggs, it looked more like breakfast but who cares, it's still food.
I took the fork and tried it, to be honest, I liked both of the dishes but the sandwich is a tiny bit better.
"Tell us the results noona! You're our judge!" Chan looked at me curiously. Since when did I become their judge??
Taking a deep breath while hesitating, I finally pointed on the sandwich.
Vernon and Chan's faces lit up as they hugged each other and jumped around as if they won the lottery or something.
Junhui pouted slightly while Seungkwan held on my arm and whined, "Noona~ why didn't you choose our dish!"
I patted his head, mouthing a sorry. I took another bite of their sausages and gave it two thumbs up. It was really good but I couldn't tell them!
When I was still distracted by the four of them, I heard Jihoon's voice from behind.
"Anything to eat? I'm starving," he opened the fridge and took out some precooked cold noodles and...rice???
"Hyung, we're almost out of rice, buy some tomorrow," Seungkwan said chewing on his sausages.
"Tell Mingyu to do the groceries, one step of his long ass legs is like five of mine," did he just diss his own height just to avoid the choirs?
That's so... me.
"Fine, I'll tell him," Seungkwan walked lazily to the living room.
I tapped Jihoon's shoulder lightly, Why are you eating cold noodles with rice?
He chuckled softly and continued to pour out the noodle soup, "Just a habit of mine."
I was still confused but shrugged anyway.
After he prepped his meal, he walked to the studio with me following from behind.
"So where should we start?" He turned on all his electronic instruments and computer.
I shrugged while eating the sandwich the boys gave me earlier.
He ate his noodles and started pressing his keyboards, trying new melodies.
It's gonna be a long night.

"Ughhhhh I'm tired!!!" Jihoon said while laying down on his bed. Weird huh? A studio with a bed inside, so convenient though.
I smiled at him and moved my hands, Then go to sleep. It's already 3 am now! I'll work on it.
But from the look on his face, I could tell he wasn't satisfied.
He laid down with his face on his chin, looking at me.
After a minute, he spoke up while patting on his bed, "Sleep with me."
WHAT THE HELL LEE JIHOON??!?
My face flushed bright red, I could feel my cheeks all hot.
Guess that little devil saw my reaction, he laughed and teasingly joked, "It's just so you could sleep geez. Not like I'm doing anything to you."
I furrowed my eyebrows while crossing my arms, pouting a little.
"Haha cute," he suddenly spat out.
Stop making my heart go boombayah, Lee Jihoon!
"No seriously, get some sleep, we'll finish it tomorrow. Sleep on the bed, I'll sleep on the couch," he stopped playing around and smiled sweetly at me.
I thought about it for a while but then agreed.
I got to admit his bed was really comfortable.
"Goodnight Byul," he smiled and reached for the light switch.
But for some reason, I stopped him.
He raised his eyebrow, "What's wrong?"
My 3 am brain wasn't working well, I moved my hands, Can you... sleep next to me?
He was shocked.
Even I was shocked.
But after a moment, he sighed and sat on the bed, "Sleep. It's late now and we got school tomorrow. I'll put some pillows in between us as a borderline, okay?"
I smiled satisfied and laid down.
"Good night, Eunbyul" he turned off the lights.
