The water was so cold it could actually freeze her up like a glacier. As minutes were passing by hot water, like it came out of hell started running down. She fixed her ideal tempreture and poured the water all over her body. Finally, she felt a little refreshed after this exhausting day. 

All these mixed feelings about Minghao could not make her chill, not even in the slightest. Something bitter was in her taste that she could not make disappear. She could not even blame Lisa about what happened.

She could not blame anyone... 

But she knew it was not her fault either. Then... Who is to blame? Someone must be at fault, Right?

She grabbed a towel and wrapped it around her body. Exiting the bathtub her tippy toes stumbled on the fluffy mat. Fortunately she was fast enough to touch the sink and gain some balance.

"Aishhhh..." She whispered staring at her reflection in the mirror. Her eyes were swollen maybe because she was even crying while taking a bath. This situation was so toxic, having a collosus impact over her. Slowly she started getting up, wearing Joshua's oversized hoodie. 

It had his aroma... 

She hugged herself and it felt like she could hug Joshua. What is she doing? 

"Soon-hee wake up..." She whispered and started fixing her messy hair. Finally, she was ready to walk out of the bathroom. Joshua was not somewhere near the beds. He must be in the small kitchen The girl thought right away. 

She entered walking on her tippy toes and saw Jisoo cooking. The boy distinguished the sound right away and titled around. "You are done?" He asked with a loving smile creeped on his face. Soon-hee nodded almost speechless, not even a smirk was on her face. Jisoo was concerned... 

"Your head is wet!" The man announced and took off his apron. 

"Maybe because I took a shower?" She did not lose a chance to tease him. "Let's go... I will dry your hair..." He declared not even asking for her permission. 

"N-No.. You don't have to... I am fine." She said but the guy was already out of the kitchen searching through his stuff. "Sit on the bed..." He almost ordered her. "B-But-" She was about to decline once again. 

"Now Lola..." He ordered her with more confidence this time and the girl had nothing else to do than sit on his bed and shut up. Jisoo approached her with a hairdryer and a towel. "I can do it alone..." The girl whispered trying to get off from tis awkward spot. Joshua stopped whatever he was doing just to approach her face with a sly smirk. 

"I know..." He ignored her once again and gently grabbed her hair up just to put the towed around her shoulders. Once he was down he started taking care of her hair so carefully and gently. The only sound that was audible was that of the hairdryer. 

"We are done..." Joshua announced as soon as her hair were extremely dried. "T-Thank you..." She said and Joshua sat right next to her exposing his cheek righ in front of her head. "W-What?" She asked and Joshua giggled.

"I deserve a kiss... I took good care of you..." He announced and the girl slowly titlied her head ready to lean closer and kiss his cheek. At the same time Joshua titled as well as a result his lips met hers quickly. 

They parted away and Soon-hee's eyes widened. 

"I cooked... Come and eat!" He announced and got up. The girl was just staring at his wholesome back. It feels like her feelings were increasing day by day in a dangerous rate. "Y-You know how to cook?" The girl asked surprised as soon as she entered the kitchen.

"I am the one who cooks at the cafeteria... Remember?" He winked placing the plates on the table. "Yeah... But what can you even cook in a cafeteria? That's why I am asking..." She accidentally teased him and the guy giggled. 

"Just sit... I am sure you will like it..." He winked. 

"Y-You didn't have to cook though..." She said sitting down. "I wanted to!" He smiled and sat on his chair. "I should cook for you... As a way to say Thanks..." She said and the boy had that sly smirk on his face. 

"What about tomorrow?" He winked. 

"I would love to!" The girl genuinly smiled, being genuine about her feelings towards him. "Try it and tell me if you like it!" The boy enthousiastically retorted. Soon-hee grabbed her chop sticks and immediately gave a shot to Jisoo's attempt. 

"Wow It;'s amazingg..." The girl announced realizing how flavourful it was. "I knew you would like it..." He said and the girl nodded, still eating her food mesmrized of how talented Jisoo is, even at cooking. 

"So what are your plans from now on?" Joshua asked chewing his food this time. The girl put her chopsticks onto her plate. "Um... Tomorrow we actually have a really busy schedule in class but after that I plan... To go to the reception and ask for a room..." She announced and Jisoo stared down. 

"Y-You can live here... If you want!" His eyes fixated to hers although his agony was rising higher. "B-But... What about Mingyu?" She asked and the boy stared at how beautiful her face was when she was anxious. 

"We can... all live together..." He smiled. 

"But there are only two beds..." She announced quite perplexed. "We are a couple... I-i mean... We can sleep in the same bed..." He announced and her heart almost melted. "Joshie that could be super incovinient for you... Look... I have an idea..." She said and the boy prepared himself for it. 

"I will ask for a room and as soon as I have my personal space you... could maybe... spend some nights... w-with me... I-if you want to of course..." The girl said and the boy giggled at how cute she is. He got up from his sit and bent over to his table so his thumb would rub her butttom lip, who happened to have some sauce.

"I would love to spend every night with you..." He said and slowly sat on the chair once again. The girl slowly touched the spot Jisoo touched a while ago and took a heavy breath. He gave her goosebumps all over her body. 

"I will take you to the reception tomorrow after college..." He announced, continuing with his food. 

"N-No you don't hav-" 

"For the last time... I know I don't but I will... So stop feeling like you are a burden... I am freaking doing everything because I love you!" He said was shocked hearing his confession like it was the first time. 

"I-I..." She wanted to say it but still something was blocking her of doing so. Joshua noticed and giggled. He forced some food inside her mouth with his fork.

"Just eat!" He scoffed and the girl just continued with her food although Joshua's words were playing on repeat in her head. 

~I love you

"Aiiiiiishhhhhh" She accidentally said out loud and Joshua was staring at her confused. "Are you okay?" He asked while his mouth was full of food. The girl realized she talked out loud and swallowed her food awkwardly. 

"Y-Yes... Haha... Let's eat..." She announced and tried to hide her reddish face, hiding behind her hand. 

_________________________________________

Soon-hee was sitting on Joshua's bed as her back was laying against the wall. She was browsing through the pages of a photo album she owned. Most of the pictures had Minghao in them, a fact that could only make her tear up with a smile on her face.

"What are you doing?" Jisoo walked out of the bathroom, scooting right next to her on the bed. "I am looking at a photo album..." She announced staring at the same picure for over ten minutes now. Jisoo noticed her actions and focused on the same pic. 

"Is that you and Minghao?" He asked perplexedd maybe because that picture was taken ten years ago. "Yes... It was from our first sleep over together at my birthday...He bought me the most amazing birthday gift!" She announced remenishing this wonderful day. 

"And what was this?" Joshua asked. 

"A big canvas, some paints and three brushes I could use..." She announced with a massive smile on her face. "You know how to draw Soonie?" He asked surprised. "I-I used to draw at high school, I even had a sketchbook... Not anymore..." She announced. Joshua was shook not knowing about this talent. 

"Why did you stop?" He asked and the girl started staring at the pictures again. "After the death of my parents I just didn't have time to continue..." She announced and Joshua tried not to seem shocked once again. Soonie rarely talked about her parents, not even to Minghao... She was always avoiding that certain topic. It was a strange fact she actually confessed that to Jisoo.

"I-i see..." He said staring at the pictured. He started browsing through the pages along with her, staring at the occusions. "What about this picture?" He asked staring at a little girl crying and a boy snapping a picture. 

"Oh... It was when Minghao was trying to taught me how to ride a bike... I failed at first and Minghao was making fun of me... That rescal..." She started laughing starring at Hao's face on the  picture. 

"You didn't know how to ride a bike until then...? Such a baby!" He teased her and the girl snorted. "It's not my fault that my feet couldn't rwach the pedals..." She hissed. "Wait... Then why didn't you lower the seat?" He asked narrowing his eyebrows. 

Her eyes widened in shock. "I will kill Hao..." She hissed in the realization. He was teasing her all these years and she never thought baout it cause she was completely trusting him. But then... she remembered... He is not her friend anymore... 

"What's with that face now?" Joshua asked distinguising the emotions behind that sorrowful glimpse.

"I miss him..." She whispered realizing how hurt she is inside that she doesn't have him around anymore. "I know... Let's eat Ice cream and cry" He announced and got up from the bed. "Where are you going?" Soonie asked. 

"To bring the Ice cream?" He giggled. "Are you gonna cry too?" She asked and the boy shrugged his shoulders. "Maybe... It depends on you mostly..." He giggled and without a single word he entered the kitchen to find the Ice cream Mingyu was talking about.

Soon-hee continued searching through the book until Jisoo walked out of the room with two big spoons and a package full of Ice cream. "Come here..." He said and sat on his bed. Soonie took the one spoon from his hand and stabbed it onto the ice cream. They both started eating while Soon-hee was literally sorrowful.

"Do you like it?" Joshua asked.

"It's Ice cream... How can I not?" She announced while eating. Joshua wanted to light up her mood. "What's this?" He pointed at her cheek and Soonie narrowed her eyebrows. "What?" She asked not knowing. 

"This?"He said and touched her cheek with a spoon full of ice cream. The girl gasped. "You didn't!" She said shocked. The boy started nodding while loud sobs of laughter were getting out of his lips. "You are dead..." She said and started stinking his face with more ice cream. After this Ice cream war Joshua left the ice cream onto the bedside table and climbed on top of her. "I am gonna kill you..." He said obvously shocked that his face was brown, yellow, green and white... His fingers started tickling her and the girl was literally laughing out loud. 

"Joshua stop stop..." She was crying because of the laughter escaping from her mouth. For a holy second she literally forgot everything... All the things that were inside her mind was Joshua Joshua.. and Oh! Joshua... 

"No... You have to get punished..." He declared, without stopping his turture towards her. Seeing the girl laughing like that could actually make her so happy. "I am sorry...." She said along with loud laughter. Joshua stopped although he was still on top of her and their eyes meet. His smile was big although hers was fading away as soon as he noticed how close his face was to hers. 

"Joshua?" She mumbled and the boy smiled. 

"I love you..." She finally said and the boy slowly stopped smiling, staring at her eyes. Did he heard right? He was obviously shook although he was trying to hide it. 

"Why aren't you saying anything? I-I just said I love you..." She announced and Joshua tried to assert all these new information in his head. Why did it feel like it was in his imagination. "I shouldn't say it... i am sorry I didn't w-" She was trying to trail down a big apology but Joshua cut her mid way when his lips crushed hers. He placed his hand onto her cheek and gave his whole energy to this moment. 

The girl was doing nothing at first being completely shocked and Joshua slowly stopped to look at her.

"Kiss me..." He whispered.

She nodded in agreement and slowly his lips claimed hers once again. Both of hid hands cupped her porcelain skin and he gave 100% of his power to make her to remember this moment even after 30 years. 

Her body was weak but still she closely shattered her eyes and surrendered to the powerful boy. Although the time might stopped as their lips agressively came in contact, but the passion only intestified along of the flutter.

Her heart was pounding tremendously as her body was only getting weaker against Jisoo's. She could only focus on how soft she fell against his mouth and how addictevely he was claiming all her senses one by one.

He wasn't sure if nature rooted for this moment or if his mind tricked him into a perfect present, but every breath he took smelled like jasmine and for the first time since he'd known himself, he didn't feel shy. 

 If anything, the warm feeling of her breath, although destabilizing, was inviting. 

He gently paced her in the middle of his bed while his hands traveled around her. His lips didn't leave hers as he was creating more passion each minute.

 She parted her lips and felt him washing over like a wave of warmth, curling her toes, unfurling all her senses as the taste of him nearly silenced all thoughts. "I want you..." He whispered this time as Her whole body tingled. The feel of his frame leaning on hers as his arms wrapped around her felt nearly forbidden but still she desired it as well.

He pulled her in, claiming her mouth again, hungry and intense, until her knees gave in. By the time Soonie became aware of her fingers, they had already slipped under his shirt, his skin smooth and radiating heat. It came out naturally without her giving it some thought by Joshua liked that.

She moaned accidentally cause she couldn't keep this pleasure to herself and Joshua smirked as his lips slowly trailed down to her neck. Butterflies invaded her stomach but still it was so fluttering she gave him full access. He marked all of her chest with love marks as his lips could not stop from kissing her every spot.

His hands traveled on the edges of his shirt and he was ready to take it off...
