Please Don't Get Too Friendly

I felt my face become hotter as the time went by. Unfortunately for me, the ride had been longer than I would have thought. On one hand, I wanted it to stop as quickly as possible so my heart wouldn't beat so fast anymore... I didn't want to risk having a heart attack in front of them. I mean, the irony. I bet one guy would start singing Heart Attack during that situation. On the other hand, htough, I wanted it to continue forever, so I would be able to keep feeling the warm hand that was around my waist, keeping me safe from falling. While my mind and my heart were still in a breathtaking debate about that situation, the car finally stopped, the manager telling us we had arrived. All the guys in the front row came out first, so they could fold the seats to let us pass. After that, I tried to gain back my seat after getting up to let the rest get up, but the arm that was retaining me forced my to stay on the lap of its owner. I froze, confused, as D.O. and Sehun went out. Baekhyun, next to us, got up. Before going out, he turned around, stared at us for a moment, glanced at his arms, my face and our position and smirked. He winked at me then got out. I tried to get up again, but Chanyeol kept me in place once again. I felt shivers go down my spine as I felt his breath go through my hair and reach my neck.

"I think we should get out," I murmured breathlessly.

I heard him sigh, then he released me. I got out quickly, hopping down the van and going through the large, imposing gate in front of their house. I stopped in my tracks, amazed at how it looked. It was a modern-looking whitehouse, with a big window on the front, next to the door, sadly hiding the interior by a dark red curtain. I took a deep breath bfore going up the small stairs and into the house of my new friends.I gaped in awe as I stared at the hallway, also modern-looking and frankly gorgeous decoration. Everything was clean and shiny, so much that my eyes hurt for a few moments. As expected of EXO. I quickly took off my shoes and followed the Noisy guy voices I heard in another room. The scene I found before me was completely ridiculous. Seven guys were beating up another one with pillows, for a reason I didn't quite get. I tried to see who exactly was being beaten up but they moved so fast that I couldn't see.

"Don't worry, they should be finished pretty soon," suddenly called a deep, entrancing voice behind me.

I glanced behind to see Chanyeol staring at them, obviously amused.

"Who are they beating up, though? And why?" I asked, confused,

My first question was quickly answered when a person emerged on the ground from the group.

"Hyung! Amy! Help meee!" pleaded a crawling Sehun to us.

I couldn't help but laugh out loud at the scene. Who would have thought that I would see the great Oh Sehun crawl at me, pleading for my help one day? Although I wished to help, Kai quickly got up and grabbed one of the maknae's legs, pulling him towards them again. The beating continued for a few minutes, while Chanyeol stared at them like a proud dad watching his son winning a soccer game. In the end, after about 10 minutes, they were all on the ground, breathing heavily and tired. The giant beside me and I joined them on the ground and we all talked together for a long time, the guys cracking up jokes at every occasion. Sehun kept on nagging his members for them to buy him bubble tea as compensation. For a while, we just became silent, all deep in our own thoughts. I suddenly felt my stomach growl slightly. I got up quickly, trying to think of a way not to repeat what happened at the company some days before.

"I'm going to go make something to eat, what would you like?" I called out to them as I walked towards the corridor.

"Something cooling!" demanded Baekhyun. "Why am I always so goddamn hot?"

"I'm getting hungry! Ignore Baekhyun and make something to eat please," laughed Chen.

I giggled as I saw D.O. beginning to get up as well.

"Let me help you," he suggested.

I shook my head and told him to go relax again.

"I won't be long!" I said before going into the kitchen, at the others side of the corridor.

As expected of the house, the kitchen was also clean, shiny and expensive-looking. The counters were made of marble and the fridge was a shiny metallic color. I went behind the counter, placing my hands on it, wondering what to do. Something refreshing, huh. And we're all kind of hungry now. What on earth could I make? I said I wouldn't take long, but making ten drinks and a portion of food for all ouf us to eat would take too much time. Ugh... I really don't know. I suddenly gasped, clasping my hands. Yes, I got it! Of course! Why didn't I think of that before? I quickly got to work, ideas bubbling in my head.

"I hope I remember all of their preferences as well," I told to myself as I got everything I need on the counter.

After about 20 minutes, I was all done with my confections. I looked at everything proudly, smiling.

"Guys, you can come now!" I said loudly, calling out to the tired idols.

They all came in slowly, obviously still asleepy from their nap. But when their eyes landed on what I made, they ran to me, all happy and awake.

"You actually made bubble tea?" exclaimed Sehun, overjoyed.

"And you knew our preferences too! Amazing," added Lay.

We all sipped on the straws I had found and put in the glasses, appreciating the nicely tasting drinks. What luck I practiced making those for almost three years! We continued speaking for a couple more minutes, until it was 8:30 PM.

"Hey, people!" called out Chanyeol loudly, all of a sudden. "Since it's already 8:30 and Amy is going to have to leave soon, how about we go play truth and dare?"

We all agreed readily and went quickly to take place in the spacious livingroom. We all sat on the ground to make it more cozy and started asking each other nice, relaxed questions. But at some point, I would say after 5 minutes, the tension grew steadily as we all knew that someone would break the relaxed atmosphere to ask direct, impactful questions. And of course, I was the first one asked, by no one else but Baekhyun.

"So, Amy... We all knew it would come to this one day," he started darkly, a weird grin on his cute face. "Let me ask you... Truth or dare?"

I could see he wanted to ask me something, so out of my good heart I answered 'truth'. He chuckled and continued.

"You chose the good answer, my child." We all laughed at him.

"Yah! Just ask the question, will you?" urged Xiumin, poking him.

"Alright, alright," conceded the younger boy. "Well, my question is basically: who did you prefer before you met us, and if it changed, who do you prefer now?"

I stayed silent for a moment while everyone exclaimed shouts of agreements. I tried to control my blush and my voice as I began.

"Well... Be-before I met you, I preferred Chanyeol," I said quickly, "and I guess it hasn't changed since then."

Exclamations once again exploded from everywhere.

"But I'm the second one, right? Aren't I your second favorite? Like, by close?" kept asking Kai.

"Well, you made us bubble tea, so I'll let it pass this time," winked Sehun.

On the other side, though, the person in question stayed silent. I looked at him, wondering why the King of Reactions didn't have any this time around. We made eye contact for a long time. In his dark and deep eyes, I could see that he was trying to communicate me something, but I couldn't grasp what. Wait, no. Correction: I didn't want to grasp it. I couldn't. If I did, that would have meant that the balance I had told myself to keep was going to shatter. My heart beat rose quickly, followed by a blush, and I looked somewhere else before he could see what I wanted, needed to hide now.

My mind wanted to stop it, but my heart didn't listen.What else could I have done?
