.·:·. '01 .·:·.

Ara couldn't stop smiling, not even when the sweat dripped down her cheeks from her forehead, and her heavy breaths could tell anyone she was exhausted.

But she was happy.

Beomgyu had taken Xylon out on a date a few days ago, and they hadn't disclosed anything but Ara could tell they had fun. And everyone else could notice the small lingering looks and content smiles they flashed one another from time to time.

She wasn't going to lie; she and Taehyun had followed the couple around, with some cheap wigs and sunglasses to not be noticed by the other pair. That's why she knew for a fact they were happy and that they actually had a good time.

Taehyun even had bought Ara a boba tea and they'd sipped on it while they walked home after Beomgyu had taken Xylon to her apartment complex.

To be completely honest with herself, Ara was a little jealous, because ever since she and Yeonjun had kissed... nothing else had happened.

It's not that they were avoiding each other, or that their feelings had faded but they hadn't talked about them as a couple –or even if he wanted them to be a couple, because Ara was sure as hell she wanted him to be her boyfriend.

But he hadn't touched the topic and she was too giddy to do so herself. Every time she had to talk to him, butterflies would erupt in her stomach and she'd be a nerve wreck whenever his eyes landed on hers.

She kinda liked the feeling, but it was also preventing her from having the talk with Yeonjun. Ara knew for a fact that she wasn't crazy, he'd actually confessed he was falling in love with her; those words had left his lips before those same plushy pillowy lips landed on hers in the sweetest kiss she'd ever received.

"You're staring into space again", Beomgyu stated while moving his hands in front of her again.

"Hi", she smiled. He rolled his eyes and she did too, before showing him her middle finger.

"Okay, bitch", he mumbled.

"If it wasn't you, I'd be angry", she shook her head and picked her bag up.

"C'mon, you gotta change because today we're recording", he smiled.

"We're what, now?", she pursed her lips. She was pretty sure there wasn't anything on her schedule for today's evening.

"So I kinda proposed this project...", they started walking towards the changing rooms. "And they allowed us to have a YouTube channel".

"Really?", her eyes were big and he nodded. "That's so cool! See you here in twenty!"

She ran towards the showers.

Ara was excited to finally spend some time with her fellow '01 liner. They had been so busy –and he'd been following Insu like a puppy for a while now– that they hadn't had a proper friendship evening. And this was perfect.

She walked happily towards Beomgyu, already feeling happiness flooding inside her.

As excited as she was, she wasn't paying attention to her surroundings, and bumped into a chest she wished she could lay her cheek on.

"Careful there", he smiled and grabbed each of her arms with his hands. "You okay?"

Nodding, she smiled too. It was as if just seeing Yeonjun made her whole day better.

"You going to record now, right? The YouTube channel?", he asked and it made her heart do swirls. It wasn't as if he was doing anything special, but he looked so good and had his eyes trained on hers.

"Yeah, it's gonna be so nice"

"Let me know when you're finished", he licked his lip unconsciously and Ara almost fainted.

"Yeah, sure", she shrugged. "But why?"

"We're going out on a date", it was now his turn to shrug and Ara's turn to have her insides melt. He really was taking her on a date.

"Lemme just pinch my arm", she joked and her heart felt all warm at the sound of giggles that erupted from his lips.

"I'll be seeing you soon, then", he mumbled and she nodded, taking her lip in between her teeth from anticipation. "Yah, don't do that".

"Do what?"

"Don't tempt me", he came closer so they faces were mere centimeters away. "You make me want to devour your lips, and it's not appropriate to do that at work", his voice sent shivers down her spine.

"I'll see you later", she managed to control her insides, so she smiled and pressed a soft little kiss to his lips, taking the small distance between them to her advantage. He was shocked to say the list, and a permanent smile was carved into her lips as she made her way to the place she'd be meeting Beomgyu.

After turning, making sure she was in another hallway and Yeonjun couldn't ser her, she placer her back to the wall, her eyes fluttering closed and her index finger coming to her lips, enjoying the replay of Yeonjun's shocked face turning into an enormous grin. She'd made him flustered and happy, and she couldn't wait to do that again.

She wanted to make him happy forever.

"And you're zoned out again", Beomgyu snapped his fingers in front of her and she blushed, trying to act normal but the memories from before kept replaying on her brain.

"Let's go", she then grabbed his wrist and let him guide her towards a room that had a small sign on the door.

"TXT sweethearts", she read it out loud and smiled. "It's the perfect name".

"I know, right?", he then pushed the code into the keypad and when it unlocked, they faced a room with a desk, two gamer computers, a small fridge and a couch that looked too comfortable to be real.

The walls were white, but Beomgyu told her they could decorate it as they pleased. There were also a pair of speakers and some microphones so they could set up a karaoke.

She was speechless, so Beomgyu dragged her inside and sat at the desk, a big set up of cameras, lights, and other recording things she didn't know about were placed on the wall she couldn't see from the door, and she smiled widely.

"This is great", she smiled.

"I know", he sighed.

"Thank you"

"Thank you for making me happy", he mumbled back and she gasped.

"Say that again".

"Never in a million years", he shook his head with a small blush and she giggled.

"You're too cute for your own good", she pinched his cheek and he pouted.

"I'm not cute, I'm cool!"

"You can be both, Choi Beomgyu", she ruffled his hair. "I'm sure Xylon likes that about you".

"Shut up, Yeonjun addict!"

"You did not just say that!"

"Oh, but I did!"
