We were both an exhausted, panting mess at the end of it - well, I was, Hyunjin was just sweating a bit.

"Hyunjin, one, you, zero." He laughed, as I stood up straight and punched him lightly, laughing as well.

"Yeah, yeah." I grumbled, as he helped me keep my balance.
My leg was aching a bit, but it was alright.

"You're not too bad, Y/N, truly." Minho said, tilting his head with a smile as he looked at me from his position on the floor.

"Thank you, that means a lot."

"Minho Hyung, your turn." Han said, pulling his friend into him. "She'll thrash you, she almost beat Hyunjin! I reckon if we chose a better song, she'd beat you."

Minho rolled his eyes, as he stared deadpanned at Han.

"Really, man? Come on, you know me."

Han laughed. "Are you scared of the challenge, Minho hyung?"

Minho narrowed his eyes, before standing up.

"Alright, Y/N, any specific song requests?" He asked, as I shook my head, so with a sly smile he wandered over to Seungmin, took his phone, and chose the song 'Criminal' by Taemin.

"Harsh." Hyunjin said, shaking his head.

Minho came and stood beside me, and then we started.


This time, I calmed my breathing as we got to the end, and as the music stopped, I reach a hand out for Minho.

He gave me a high-five, grinning.

"Wow, you are better than you look. I'll keep my eye on you when you become an idol, Y/N." Minho chuckled, passing me a spare water bottle from the fridge, as I thanked him and took a drink.

"Okay, I feel like I should be leaving you guys to it, you've got a concert to prepare for. Many, many concerts, actually." I said, standing up.

"We're already ready, we know what we're doing. It's the second leg of the world tour, so... there was only like, one or two song changes?" Felix said, pouting, "we haven't seen you in ages Y/N!"

A smile twitched on my lips, as I just sat back down.

"Well, 6-to-6 training is a killer, you know." I whined, as they all just laughed.

"Yeah, none of us miss that." Jeongin said, and after that everyone just fell into a comfortable conversation.

My phone just kept buzzing, as I turned it on silent, Felix glanced over.

"Ah Ms Popular I see." He laughed, as I sighed.

"Not at all. I'm just being harassed still, people didn't believe the notice JYP sent out, so." I shrugged, as Felix just sighed, before scooting over to me, and wrapping his arms around my side.

"Ah, imagine that, me and you~ how fun would that be." He whispered, causing my heart to do flips and my stomach to flutter.

"Agh get off you big flirt!" I whined, trying to push him off but he kept his grip around me strong, his head on my shoulder.

"No, I don't wanna." He smiled, as I just rolled my eyes.

The others were all laughing at Felix and I, before Han turned away, his eyes glistening.

Minho went over in an instant, taking his friend outside.
I felt Felix stiffen at my side, before he let go, and then it was silent.

"I'm sorry, I'll get going." I said, standing up awkwardly as I grabbed my things, and went to leave.

Felix grabbed my wrist, as I turned.
I swore in that moment it was my sunshine.

"Y/N, don't go. I've still go so much time."

"I've got to get to work, sunshine. I'll see you later."

I swallowed, looking down at his hand which was cascaded with rings, a scar running along his finger which my sunshine didn't have.

"Stay safe Y/N, please."

I nodded, before walking out, and down the hall.

I could hear Han crying, whilst Minho comforted him from the opposite way I was heading, as I quickly rubbed my eyes, stopping myself from crying.

I felt so bad, I don't know why I did, but he looked miserable seeing me and Felix sitting together.
It was late, so I just went back to my dorm, and fell asleep.





"Han, come on, talk to me." Minho asked, keeping his arm around the younger ones shoulder.
"She reminds me so much of her, Hyung." Han whispered, his voice cracking.

Minho just looked to the floor. He didn't know what to say, really.
"The way Felix is holding her, it's just how I was with Ara. It just, it brings back so much, you know? And then I'm so scared for Y/N, because she is so much like her, and I can't lose another person, I just don't know what I'd do, I-" Minho cut Han off, pulling him into a proper hug.

"Han, we all miss Ara, we really do. She was one of us, and I know you're hurting the most. But Y/N isn't her, so please don't be upset. Y/N will be fine, we'll protect her. Ara wouldn't want you being so sad, would she? She'd tell you to get your act together, and look after this girl like you looked after her, okay? So let's do that." Minho said, as Han moved away from him, laughing as his voice broke, wiping at his tears.

"Yeah, alright, for Ara, and for Y/N."

Minho smiled. "Yeah, for them."
