3. PART FOUR: FALLING FOR U

After helping the sober ones get the drunk ones inside their cars, Mingyu and I headed to where his scooter was parked. I then realised he came alone, so he probably would have only taken one helmet with him, but I was surprised to see him raise the padding on the seat of the scooter and pull out one. I also noticed it was a brand new one and not the one I was used to wearing before.

"As we almost always go together I bought you one," he told me as he handed it to him. "I didn't know which colour you wanted it to be, so I just went with white."

"How much was it? I will pay you," I said trying to take out my wallet but he grabbed my hand to stop me.

"It's a gift. You don't need to pay me anything," he said before hopping onto the motorcycle and putting his helmet on. "Are you going to stay there or will you come?"

I then joined him and, since I was a little funny from the shots I had had -although I was still very aware of my surroundings-, wrapped my arms around his waist and laid my head on his back. I was really sleepy from all the work we had done, so I couldn't help but want to shut my eyes from time to time. Hugging him was the only option I could find so I didn't fall off the scooter.

"You are a really comfy pillow," I told him. "The helmet is in the way but it is still comfortable."

"Let's just go..." Mingyu said before speeding away.

The ride back to the university was an hour long and I couldn't help but be uncomfortable sitting there. Mingyu seemed to notice it and kept asking me if I wanted us to stop for a few minutes before continuing the ride but I told him it was okay and to keep going. Still, he asked every now and then if I was okay.

Neither of us were the chatter type when he drove since Mingyu wanted to make sure all of his attention was set on the road, so after about fifteen minutes of me being in silence and taking the opportunity since he had to stop on a red light, he turned around to check if I was still awake, which I was.

"I thought you had fallen asleep," he told me. "Are you tired?"

"Very," I answered and yawned. "I really need to sleep before we continue recording tomorrow. I need to leave work as soon as possible to be on the set on time. It's half an hour away by train."

"I will take you there, don't worry," Mingyu told me. "You finish at four, right?"

"Yes," I answered. "But you don't need to take me there. I can go alone."

"It's not like I didn't need to go there too. Besides, picking you up only adds five minutes to the ride," he said before speeding off once again. "Wonwoo said he needs to be there by three to start preparing everything."

"Did he manage to rent that expensive house in the end?" I asked him.

"Yes, he did. Didn't he tell you?" 

"We haven't really had the chance to talk since he began preparing all of the recordings. I don't think we have had a proper date in months. We only seem to talk about is school and the film," I said leaning again on Mingyu's back. 

The rest of the ride was fairly quiet and, when we reached the school, we saw that the ones coming by car hadn't yet arrived so we waited for them on a nearby bench. We had already told our seniors that we would arrive late, so we weren't in a hurry.

"I don't want to be invasive but... are you both okay? Wonwoo and you, I mean," Mingyu suddenly said. "You used to be really clingy around each other but it isn't like that anymore."

"Nothing is wrong, don't worry," I assured him. "It's just... we are busy. There is not really much time for us to spend together. I think I even spend more time with you nowadays than with him."

"I hope at least you have fun with me," he said grinning, making me laugh. "I will try to hint it to him that he should take you on a date or something. Don't worry about it."

The car then arrived and we both stood up to help Minghao with Yeonyoo and Wonwoo, who couldn't stand straight for more than three seconds. Yeonyoo immediately approached me and hugged my arm like a koala, which was definitely cute.

"He gave me his number!" She said with a grin. "Mr handsome boy gave me his number!"

"Who is Mr handso-?"

"You were with him again!" Wonwoo suddenly exclaimed towards me while pointing towards Mingyu. "Why are you always with him? You are my girlfriend not his'!"

"He's just too drunk, don't mind him," Minghao told me with an awkward smile. "Come on, Wonwoo, let's get you to your room."

"No!" He said freeing himself from Minghao's grip. "Eunji, you haven't said it back!"

"Said back what?" I asked him. "Wonwoo, you are way too drunk. You need to go to sleep."

"You didn't say you love me back!" He blurted out startling us. "I keep trying but you don't love me back! Why don't you? Am I not good enough?"

"Wonwoo, I-" I tried to reply but no words came out of my mouth.

"Eunji, we will take him to the dorms. You do the same with Yeonyoo," Minghao told me. "Don't think too much about it."

It was true that I hadn't said I loved him back because for me it was still too early. I wasn't sure what love was supposed to feel like but I surely knew that what I felt for Wonwoo wasn't still that intense. Sure, I liked him a lot and loved to spend time with him but I still didn't think I was ready to take that step.

"Eunji, really, don't think about it. He is just drunk. He doesn't mean it," Mingyu said and gave me a tight hug while rubbing my back. "Go to sleep and, if you want to, we can have breakfast together tomorrow to talk about it."
