New Home for the Holidays!

happy holidays! and merry christmas to whoever celebrates it!! <3

disclaimer: kinda scared ngl, this is my first piece of writing i’m putting on tumblr. i usually use wattpad (my username is the same it is here if you wanna follow me!), so i’m still learning how to do this lmao. hope you like it! any feedback is appreciated!!!

also... i didn’t really proofread this bc i got impatient and wanted to post it before christmas lol :)

warnings: none, just fluff ;)

gf!y/n spends christmas with harry and his family.

You hear the faint chime of the doorbell ringing from inside the house as you nervously pick at your fingers down at your side. Harry notices the small action, quickly taking your hand to intertwine with his, shooting you a small smile in hopes to calm your nerves.

And it does. For a moment. Until the door swings open and Anne appears on the other side. What finally does put your anxiety to rest is the big, warm hug she pulls you into, a splitting grin adorning her face. You chuckle in surprise (mostly at the fact she hugged you first and not her own son), but return the kind action, nonetheless.

"Oh my gosh! Y/N, my dear, you look gorgeous as always!" She says pulling back just enough to look at your face.

"Thank you! You're looking quite good yourself, Mrs. Twist." You return either a kind smile.

"Oh, none of that. I've told you before, call me Anne," She looks at you with a knowing and playful scowl, waving you off.

"Wow, hello to you too mum," Harry mutters from next to you, plastering a fake pout on his lips.

She softly scoffs, releasing her hold on you and moving to embrace her son.

"You look gorgeous too, Harry. Is that what you wanted to hear?" She jokes, the familiar smirk she holds reminds you of the one your boyfriend pulls so frequently.

When they release from their tight squeeze, Anne steps inside and holds the door open before speaking.

"Well... Don't want you two to freeze out there, come in! I was just fixing a cuppa,"

The warmth of her home heats your frozen fingertips as you enter and your glad to be out of the snow. You love the snow, but since growing up not experiencing it often where you lived makes it a little hard to bear in times like these. You couldn't remember many times you've had a white Christmas before (probably could count on one hand, if your honest), but you've always remembered them being the best ones.

You've always loved the holidays. You loved the cold weather and the time with family. You loved you're yearly family tradition of opening one present on Christmas Eve night and taking a picture on the staircase in your childhood home the next morning. You loved making hot chocolate and watching you're family open the presents you got them.

You loved the holidays. But, what you love more than anything, is that this year you get to spend them with Harry.

You've been dating for two years now, but last Christmas, you spent it with your own family, as did he, because it was a bit too soon in y'all's relationship to make that step. However, this year Harry extended the invitation for you to join them and after talking with your parents (and your brother, albeit he didn't care one bit) you accepted the invite. Of course, not without making sure you wouldn't be imposing at all. And with Harry's reassuring words of, wouldn't have asked if we all didn't want you there, and besides, baby, it wouldn't be Christmas without all my loved ones, would it?, you started packing for London.

Harry shrugs off his coat as you both stand in the foyer and you follow suit as a voice shouts from the kitchen.

"Are they here?" A familiar sister calls out excitedly.

You and Harry enter the kitchen and he's immediately pulling Gemma into a bear hug. You look at the sight and smile fondly, noticing her boyfriend, Michal, behind them, but not before worrying for Gemma's breath support as Harry noticeably squeezes tighter.

They let go of each other and she playfully scowls at him, swatting his arm. To which Harry dramatically holds his arm, draining an, ow, that hurt!, receiving an eye roll from Gemma before Harry moves to greet Michal, and his stepdad, Robin.

"Hi, Y/N! It's so great to see you, feels like it's been ages," She greets you in turn, having enough of Harry's antics already. You return the greeting, along with the one to Michal and Robin, and before you know it, you're all deep into conversation.

Harry takes up spot right on your side like a leech. If you were being honest, it took you awhile to become accustomed and comfortable to how openly affectionate Harry is with you in front of his family and friends. At first, it was just small touches and light squeezes when the two of you would go out with Mitch and Sarah. The actions not bold enough for you to scold him, but just enough to make your cheeks turn pink. Not long after, the touches turned into sweet kisses to your cheek and draping a protective arm around you almost every time y'all went out. Which wasn't a problem until you realized how many stares your friends shot you when you started to get too comfortable in his warm embrace, most of the time opting to daze out in Harry's comfort than pay attention to conversation. So then, when the little affections turned into koala-esque cuddling into your side and planting heart-stopping kisses to your lips in front of Gemma and Anne this past summer, you decided to tell him to reign it back just a tad. It wasn't that you didn't like it! Quite the contrary, the sweet scent of his cologne that would flood your senses as he settled so close to you made your head fuzzy, and the pecks along your neck or on your hands or on your cheeks left you incapable of being present.

Of course, your loving boyfriend pouted a bit at the fact he claims, you don't want my kisses, but quickly got over it when you dropped to your knees before the boy to press kisses somewhere he couldn't complain about.

However, despite all of your protests to PDA, you can't help but relinquish your resolve as you melt into the couch with Harry between your legs, head resting on your tummy. The whole family (which includes you now!) is settled into their comfy spots in Anne's living room as Miracle on 34th Street plays on the TV, everyone having changed into their fuzziest Christmas pajamas. The realization when you saw Harry, Gem, and Anne had matching pajama bottoms made your heart grow tenfold and your eyes glaze over in complete fondness.

The smell of kettle corn popcorn (as Harry made it since he knows it's your favorite) and cinnamon candles fill the room. Anne and Robin are together on the couch perpendicular to yours against the wall opposite of you and Harry as the two of you are laid out taking up the whole space on y'all's blue sofa, while Gemma and Michal have cuddled up on the floor, sharing the big bean bag off to your left since they were the last ones to join the holiday movie marathon.

You love the dynamic of Harry's family. Much different than the chaotic mess of yours, and although you still love your family very much (despite their constant need to be obnoxiously loud for no reason whatsoever, fight over little things, and ignore each other on a daily basis), you admire how calm their presence is. You're family is just so... loud. And that's not necessarily a bad thing! The running joke of your family is that no one in it is capable of whispering...well, except you but you all blame it on the anxiety. But even so, your parents and brother have always argued. Over everything. Very rarely is it about something important, and seldom does it get out of control, but your family's way of showing affection is very...unique? Y'all aren't openly nice and polite all the time. As confusing as it might sound, y'all show your love in bickering. The love is more underlying than it is direct in show.

But that's why you can't get over how quiet this house is right now. Not one fight over someone breathing wrong has broke out and Harry and Gemma actually get along and enjoy each other's company. They're like... friends! The concept is crazy to you and you can't help but get just a tad bummed how your family doesn't just sit around all cuddled up, and how they'll get something for you while their up so you don't have to move from your comfy spot, or how Anne will just hug Harry out of nowhere. But the more you think about it, you realize that it's probably because Harry wasn't around much, always touring and traveling the world. He never got the time to playfully bicker with his family. So, as everyone is quiet in their comfort, you take it all in, happy that you're given the chance to experience their household dynamic.

Your fingers play with Harry's hair, running them through the long brown curls, still as wonderstruck at how soft his hair is as ever. Hearing him softly hum when you gently tug through a thicker curl.

"You're so effortlessly beautiful, ya know that?" You whisper to him, the sound of the movie, thankfully, covering you're affection from everyone else.

You can just spot the smitten little grin that grows on his face, and despite not having the angle to see, you just know his precious dimple is making a showcase right now...and that's enough to put a smile on your own face.

Instead of replying in words, he only turns his head to place a soft, melting kiss upon your thigh. Making heat surge through your entire body, in turn, making your heart warm at his love.

As y'all sit and watch the movie, you start to subconsciously braid your boyfriends hair. Starting by sectioning (albeit, a bit lazily) his hair into two big chunks, then separating three strands from the top of his head, you start braiding the pieces, adding a bit more hair as you go. He eventually caught on to what you were doing and you thought he was going to stop you, truthfully. But to your surprise, he only started rubbing gentle circles into your legs with his hands in a calming manner, causing you to release a content sigh.

When you get to the end, you tie off the finished braid with a hair tie from your wrist before moving to the other side of his sectioned head. It surprised you how long his braids are! They come down about a few inches below his chin, much longer than the only other time you had saw him in braids, which was when Lou did them right before he went on stage to perform. Now, your braiding skills aren't as refined as Lou's are, her skills making yours look rather sad, but you're having a blast doing it and that's all that matters. Not like he's going to go perform after this, right?

After securing the second braid in a hair tie, you lean forward and place a kiss to the top of Harry's head, causing him to tilt his head to look at you with a big smile on his pretty face.

Since you're sat up already and hovering over his face with him still in your lap, you press a quick, searing kiss to his lips, watching them curve into a splitting grin. You smile back at him, just admiring his features.

Despite being able to feel the loving stares from Gemma and Anne in the room, your focus is still on Harry.

“I love you,” He whispers, bringing a hand up to gently stroke your cheek.

“I love you too, bubs.” You return, because you do. You love him so much it hurts sometimes.

Looking at him now, surrounded by his family, you think you have never been so happy in your entire life. You’re so lucky to have him in your life, and you know he knows he’s lucky too.

But most of all, you’re so glad you decided to spend this Christmas with him.

Black Nighttime

Genre: college!au, slice of life, slight fluff, slight angst Word Count: 3,987 Summary: The quartet put on another great show for the Dark Love Stage as well as join in on the Speed Date which turns out to include the Nu Chi Theta members!

Day Festival masterlist.

Warning: semi-proofread

hello, hello. i’m back. luckily i got to finish this even though it’s a few days later than the first part. anyways, black day itself should be approaching soon, but i have no idea how it’s actually celebrated as i just looked it up and tweaked it for my own story. lol again, standalone, but i will make an individual post for it to keep it together of sorts once it’s get longer or something like that. anyways, yeah, not really that much going on as the development is underway and the angst bit is just very tiny so i dunno, but i’m sure i’ll be doing some more time skip since i really don’t like to write all that much as i tend to get unmotivated for some reason. anyways, yeah happy reading and kthxbai, Admin Lia~

Black Nighttime was in full swing with the crowd purchasing items with super final prices. Tonight held the speed-dating with three rounds this year and the semi-final jjajangmyeon eating contest. A lounge area to discuss about the lack of intimate relationships or life in general. An arts and crafts booth replaced the shirt design and salon bit. You could also spend time at the solo diner with stuffed animals as a companion, too. The Solo Karaoke was also added to the second part of the Black Day Festival, but of course right after the new addition of the Dark Love Stage with a different name yet same concept.

"Hello, everyone! I'm Holland, and I'll be introducing our dangerous ladies tonight!" Holland greeted the crowd once Nighttime got going.

The crowd cheered as Holland continued to speak.

"If you were here for Daytime, then you must've heard that we added Solo Karaoke and the Black Love Stage today."

The crowd cheered in response.

"Good. Tonight for Nighttime it's no different as we'll do our Dark Love Stage renamed for specifically the night portion first before y'all can sing your to your heart's content with our Solo Karaoke."

Holland looked over at the crowd present for this event as others were also roaming the other area of the gymnasium.

"Anyways, introducing tonight for our Dark Love Stage is the Dark Angels!"

The crowd cheered once more as Holland clapped while looking behind him to see if the quartet were ready to perform.

"Please give a warm welcome to our saviors of the dark night as they lure you in with their luscious voices into darkness!"

Dark Angels stepped onto the makeshift stage with the same outfits from Daytime as Fallen Angels, but had more accessories than before.

"One, two..." Jasmine started as they introduced themselves as a group, "Hello, we're Dark Angels."

Then the quartet introduced themselves with another set of stage names from Katherine, Serena, Melanie, and ending with Jasmine.

"I'm Lady Lilith."

"I'm Lady Hecate."

"I'm Lady Pandora."

"I'm Lady Jezebel."

The crowd tuning in cheered as Jasmine spoke again while shooting Holland a smile.

"Thank you, Holland, for that lovely intro!"

"Great, I expect a lemon cake as a treat, Lady Jezebel."

Holland joked, but nodded firmly.

"Just no carrots whatsoever."

He shot Serena a knowing look as she just smiled at him without responding.

"Okay, will do." Jasmine agreed before looking over the crowd.

"Thank you to those present. Please watch over us kindly. We hope that you enjoy our performances tonight."

The crowd cheered again before Jasmine announced the first song.

"So we're gonna start out a bit strong tonight for the second half of the Black Day Festival and we don't really care if you care about that or not."

Jasmine chuckled before continuing shortly afterwards.

"Despite the title and lyrics this song goes out to anyone that's talking smack about the person they broke up with. Stop. Enjoy, Dirty Boy."

Once again, Kyle cued just as the first note hit did Katherine began singing. When the song came to and end, Katherine spoke.

"Now we're doing a one-eighty and slowing it down with the next song, GHOST."

Katherine introduced the second song.

"For those that wished someone could just disappear from your life like you've never met, this is for you."

The quartet rotated positions as Melanie began singing with the other girls following with their assigned parts after. After GHOST ended it was Serena that spoke next.

"Oh, wow. That got me in the feels."

Serena chuckled at her words as she got back on track.

"Despite the lyrics and the title of the next song, Another Boy, don't keep someone around if you don't love them anymore while still pursuing another person. You'll cause that person to not believe and just leaving them in tears."

As the song began Dark Angels got into formation as they had rearranged the original dance routine to fit their own while Katherine sang first followed by the rest in their assigned lines. When the last note ended did Jasmine speak.

"Alright, the next song is 1,2,3. This is dedicated those to forget the person you're hung up on. Y'all are strangers now. Forget them and go live your life."

The original choreography was rearrange to fit the quartet as Dark Angels again enjoyed themselves. Melanie introduced the next song after taking a slight break.

"Keeping up with this pace, Domino Game is next! It's towards those to quit playing games as people can get hurt and tired from them."

Dark Angels once again got into formation. Katherine started the song and followed by the rest. When the song ended did Katherine speak.

"Hope everyone has enjoyed our performances so far!"

The let out loud cheers before Katherine introduced the third to last song.

"Alright, this sixth song, The Reason I Became A Witch, is dedicated to those that became spiteful because of someone. Enjoy!"

Dark Angels got into formation with Jasmine and Serena doing the narration before Melanie actually started out the song. After that, Serena spoke to informed them of their second to last song.

"Seriously though, thank you guys so much for watching us perform for you. Unfortunately, we have two more songs to perform for you.

The crowded booed in response as the four chuckled before Serena spoke again once it quieted down.

"Yeah, I know, but that's life. Anyways, our second to last song, THANK U VERY MUCH, is dedicated to anyone who was grateful for the other person upon leaving their life without a hassle. Please enjoy!"

Dark Angels had fun with this performance as they were more playful with the choreography. Melanie sang first followed by the rest. Jasmine announced their last song as Dark Angels.

"It's the last song now, but don't worry, I'm sure you'll hear from us again Anyways, please give a big applause to Holland who also solo this Black Nighttime event himself. As well as Kyle and Haru like always. Also to the rest of those that helped make Black Day Festival a hit!"

The crowded clapped loudly and cheered while Jasmine looked at the three as they nodded. She returned her attention back to the audience.

"One, two..." Jasmine began with the other three joining in to finish the rest, "This was Dark Angels! Thank you!"

"Alright," Jasmine spoke one last time, "We're ending this differently than our last song! It's Over! This just goes out to those that just stopped having feelings and erased the other person from their life without a care."

Serena sang first followed by everyone else in their assigned parts. When the song ended Holland came onto the stage shortly afterwards.

"Please give Dark Angels a round of applause for their magnificent stages." He said excitedly while clapping heartily.

Holland cast the quartet an appreciated look as he motioned for them that they could leave. The girls bowed again as Holland resumed to the Solo Karaoke. The quartet hurriedly left to change outfits so that they could be ready for the second round of the Speed Date.

"Good evening, everyone. Sorin and I are proud to announce that our second round of the Speed Date is actually a very special one unlike our previous one." Liyin announced with Sorin continuing afterwards.

"Yes, just like Liyin mentioned, the second round is special because we have the lovely Nu Chi Theta members joining us."

A majority of the crowd cheered upon hearing one of the popular fraternity joining in as participants.

"Should I be worried?" Serena commented to the other three.

"No idea." Melanie responded just as confused.

"Oh, I'm excited." Jasmine exclaimed as Katherine rolled her eyes in good-nature.

"I wonder why. But seriously, the girls didn't tell us this."

"Neither did Seoljun." Serena remarked with a frown.

Katherine then chuckled.

"Sooner or later we were bound to run into them."

"Shut up."

Melanie nudged her sister.

"Stop running away."

"I'll do whatever I want. By the way, I'm giving out a fake name since I've been quite a lot so far."

"Ohh, I'm going to do that, too." Katherine agreed with an excited face. "That's a great idea."

"Why would you two wanna do that for?" Jasmine asked while giving them a weird look. "What if y'all make a connection?"

"I don't want to though." Serena answered as Katherine shrugged.

"I just think it'll be fun."

Melanie laughed with a nod.

"I think so, too."

Jasmine cast her friend a look.

"So you're gonna go with a fake name, too?"

"Might as well. You?"

"I dunno. What if Johnny's there?"

"Then use your real name with Johnny and a fake name with the others you're not interested in." Serena suggested.

"Oh, I can, can't I?"

"Yes."

They continued to listen as Sorin and Liyin explained that the second round would have the Nu Chi Theta members sitting and the participants rotating this time around.

"Hi. I'm Park Sieun." Serena introduced herself with the intended fake name while not paying attention to the person after rotating.

"I'm pretty sure you're name is Serena."

Serena heard the male corrected as she looked at him and was surprised to see Johnny in front of her.

"Oh, Johnny. Hi."

"Hello to you, too. Surprised?" Johnny greeted with a laugh.

"Um, yeah."

She looked about their surrounding wondering if Jasmine had taken notice before focusing on Johnny again when she remembered that she couldn't see any of the other three from where she sat since they ended up being separated by different numbers.

"So what brings you to the Speed Date?"

Johnny began the small talk.

"The Student Council President."

"Oh?"

Johnny was intrigued as he leaned closer.

"Tell me more, Serena."

"Um," Serena stalled not sure what to tell him.

"I had nothing really to do and Gina thought I could help out as a last resort kind of thing."

Serena shrugged nonchalantly before questioning him.

"What about you?

"Just here to meet new people and some fraternity duties."

"I see. Is that why Nu Chi Theta is participating?"

"Yeah, something like that. By the way, since I got you here..."

Serena's eyebrow quirked up as she awaited for what Johnny wanted to ask.

"It's about your friend, Jasmine."

Serena eyed him suspiciously causing Johnny to laugh.

"Whoa, whoa. I just wanna know some things about her."

"She's participating in this so you could just find out when you're paired up with her later."

"Yeah, but it's a wait and why not learn some things about her from her friends before I reach her."

Serena regarded the male and thought she'll help out her friend even though she tried not to meddle in other people's personal life.

"Okay. What do you wanna know?"

Johnny shot her the giddiest look and wondered if she should worry or not. Instead she chuckled as Johnny asked questions in regards to Jasmine while giving him vague answers. Serena wasn't sure how to answer and hoped that Jasmine would clarify everything later. Liyin soon announced that their two minutes were up and for the participants to rotate to their next table.

"I guess I'll have to ask the other two or herself whenever I reach them." Johnny commented as Serena agreed. "I guess so. Good luck."

"Thanks."

Serena waved goodbye as she watched him moving on and silently let out a breath wondering if she could even handle the rest of the second round as they were all Nu Chi Theta members, but so far she only spoke with those she didn't know.

"Oh, Shotaro, hi. You're in this, too?" Melanie asked when he plopped himself into the seat across from her a moment later.

Shotaro cast her a shy smile with a nod.

"Yeah."

"How is it going for you so far?"

"It's a little overwhelming, but it's fun. I'm learning a lot although I still get a bit nervous"

"Aww, glad to know and yeah that happens a lot. If it makes you feel better, I get nervous, too."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

"So," Shotaro began with a sheepish look, "Are you nervous about speaking with a certain someone later down the line?."

"Who told you that?""

Melanie eyed him suspiciously as he laughed sheepishly.

"Ten mentioned something before this whole thing started."

"Wow. He really has a big mouth. Anyways, ignore what he told you, okay?"

Shotarto nodded with laugh as Melanie asked him a question.

"So what are you doing after this?"

"I wanted to try out the food. I heard you can pick out whatever stuffed animal to dine with."

"Oh yes, you can. There's different sizes! I want to sit with the biggest one."

Shotaro's eyes widened with excitment.

"Really? Wouldn't it take up to much space?"

"Nah. I'm sure you can just stuff it in since it's fluffy."

The two continued to talk until the alarm rang for the participants to rotate.

"Thank you, ladies and gentlemen!" Sorin and Liyin announced once the last rotation ended.

"You'll find out your results in the next day or two." Liyin informed the group. "We'll e-mail your match and hope that all of y'all work out!"

"And if not," Sorin interjected with a smile, "Then we hope that you guys can be friends or try again next time."

"So thank you for participating." Liyin thanked them once more as Sorin announced the third round.

"We hope everyone for the third round are here and that we can get it started soon. And no, it's not a special round. Sorry."

Meanwhile the quartet finally met up with one another as they discussed their time during the Speed Date.

"I think this year is looking out for me or something, but I had a great conversation with Johnny." Jasmine stated with an excited tone.

"I would hope so because he can actually tell you and I apart." Katherine mused with a knowing look. "I can't believe he participated."

"Me either, but I hope we match."

"I think you guys should." Melanie assured. "He did ask about you when he was with me."

"Oh, me too." Serena confirmed. "It was kinda weird, but if you guys don't match then what's gonna happen?"

"To give up and move on." Jasmine said with a defeated tone before brightening up a moment later. "If not, then we can I guess be friends first and maybe work from there, yeah?"

"True." The three chorused before Serena looked over at Katherine.

"What about you? Did you have a nice conversation with Taeil?"

"Yes. It was quite pleasant, but two minutes is pretty short and we were into our conversation that we didn't notice until one of his members told us. Although like speaking with any Nu Chi Theta member could be nerve-wracking as everyone wants to associate themselves with them."

"Very true." Melanie agreed before nudging her sister.

"Too bad you're crush wasn't there."

"Thank goodness and crush is a store word." Serena said in a relieved tone. "Anyways, y'all can't tease me anymore."

"Neither was yours." Jasmine commented a moment later. "I really wanted to discreetly tell the both of them about y'all."

"I'm pretty sure Ten did that already." Melanie remarked. "Shotaro said so during our talk."

The quartet continued talking and started discussing what they wanted to do or to split up again like they did earlier in the day.

"And there we go." Serena spoke to herself as she tied the ends of the elastic strings of the beaded bracelet she had just made.

"Ooh, that's pretty. Is it for the little girl that you tutor?" Jasmine asked once she had completed her own bracelet.

"Yeah. She really loves rainbow-like things."

Serena admired the colorful shapes along with the name she had spelt within it. Serena wore the bracelet and slightly frown with a chuckle.

"It's a bit bigger than I thought, but she should grow into it. She has time for that."

"True. C'mon, let's go check out the merch booth and see what they have left over.

"Oh, good idea. Maybe I could buy, Yeojin, some other things."

The pair left the area after bidding goodbye to Seoljun and Seolhwa. While wandering the pair ran into another set of friends, but unfortunately, Serena had made the other person spill food onto themselves.

"I am so sorry." Serena apologized and realized it was Ten and Johnny she and Jasmine had ran into.

Jasmine squeezed Serena's arm upon acknowledging who the other pair was and Serena had to pat her friend to calm down. Then she realized that the bracelet she had wore and made for Yeojin was missing.

"Oh, no. I lost the bracelet."

"I'll help you look for it, Serena! Jasmine can help Johnny clean himself up." Ten offered as he ushered himself and Serena away leaving the other two behind.

Jasmine slightly panicked, but relaxed when she heard Johnny speak to her.

"Hey, it's not a big deal. I wasn't looking where I was going either."

The pair slowly conversed not even minding that the other two had rushed off.

"Good bluff. That should help those two out better." Ten commented as Serena shot him a confused look.

"What bluff?"

"About the bracelet going missing."

"It wasn't a bluff."

"What do you mean?"

"Ten. I really lost the bracelet."

"Oh. Um, I'll help you find it for real then."

Serena sighed, but she backtracked with an unhelpful Ten.

Melanie happily sat across from a giant mint green hippopotamus with Katherine sitting at another table across from a two-tone brown lion with both of them eating a strawberry brick toast and drinking a large dragon-fruit milk tea.

"This is so good." Katherine commented while looking over at Melanie. "Jiyoon and Jihan were right to go with this."

"I know right. It's a lot better than I thought it would be."

"How are y'all liking it?"

The pair looked up to see a familiar face.

"Oh, Soeun, it's delicious." Katherine responded with a thumbs up. "Jihan and Jiyoon were right about it."

"And the dragon-fruit?" Soeun probed further

"Delicious. You were right about the taste, too." Melanie replied with an O.K. sign. "It's gonna be my new fave when y'all start selling it."

"Of course I am. Anyways, I'm here about something else."

"About what?" The duo chorused as they continued eating their dessert.

Soeun glanced over shoulder before focusing on the pair again.

"Someone wants to join you, Melanie."

"This is a solo diner. Besides, Hank the Hippo is already dining with me."

Melanie motioned to the plush doll as Soeun laughed.

"You named him?"

"Of course. Can't enjoy my meal if I don't know the other person's name."

Melanie looked over at Katherine.

"Right?"

"Yup."

Katherine motioned at the plushie before her.

"Leon the Lion."

"Wow. And I thought only Serena named things."

"That's where we got it from because she has a similar, but smaller one at home." Melanie answered.

"I see, but are you sure you don't want to know who it is that wants to join you."

Melanie shook her head, but Katherine shot Soeun an amused look.

"Sure because I know that you're dying to tell her who it is."

Soeun happily leaned closer to the two while gazing at Melanie.

"Do you wanna guess before telling you?"

"No."

"Oh, you're no fun."

Soeun glanced over her shoulder again and Melanie looked over, but wasn't sure who it could be.

"Well, he said his name is Jimmy."

Melanie' frowned upon hearing the familiar name.

"Yeah, no thanks, Soeun."

"Oh. He said he's a good friend of yours."

"He's not."

"Oh, really? He seemed pretty persistent, but I'll let him know that you're not interested."

"Thanks."

"You're welcome."

Soeun walked away as Katherine looked over at her friend.

"Isn't that the guy that dumped you for another person that he was already cheating with?"

"Yup."

"The nerve of that guy."

"I know."

The pair were about to get back to their respective meal when another hand slapped Melanie's table to get her attention.

"You got some nerve rejecting me." Jimmy stated with a harsh tone.

Melanie glanced at him indifferently while Katherine watched for now.

"And you got some nerve talking to me again after what you did."

Melanie motioned with her head for him to leave her alone.

"The exit is that way and I don't have to converse with you."

Just then Jimmy wiped Melanie's table clean as the items shattered to the floor. Melanie pushed back her chair, stood up, and backed away from the male when suddenly two other people appearing in front of her to protect her. Katherine immediately moved to stand besides Melanie when Jimmy pushed the dishes off the table as the pair watched Taeil, Shotaro, and Sungchan come to Melanie's aid.

"I don't think that was necessary now, don't you think?" Taeil asked with a firm tone towards Jimmy.

"That's such a waste for you to have done that." Sungchan added before motioning towards the exit.

"I believe you were on your way out. Correct?"

It was not a suggestion that Sungchan was giving him as his tone wasn't nice sounding as Taeil did the same.

"Yeah, weren't you just leaving now?"

Shotaro also gave the male a once over while glancing at Melanie before returning his gaze onto Jimmy.

"I'm sure Melanie would be most comfortable without your presence as well."

Jimmy's jaw tightened as he glanced at the three males before sweeping his eyes over to Melanie. He huffed and stormed off.

"Are you okay?" The trio asked Melanie a moment after.

"Yeah, just a little shaky now. Thank you though." She thanked before looking at the mess which was quickly taken care of by Soeun.

"I'm so sorry, Melanie." Soeun apologized after cleaning up. "I thought he was fine when I told him you didn't want to see him, but I guess he got around another way."

"It's fine, Soeun. It's not your fault. Thank you though."

"No worries. I'll be back with another set for you."

"No, it's fine. I'm not that hungry anymore."

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. Thanks again."

"You're welcome. Katherine?"

"I'm good, too. Thanks, Soeun."

Soeun cast them another apologetic look before walking off as Katherine comforted her friend.

"I swear, this month is not a good month for you or Serena."

"I know right."

"So, do you wanna get food afterwards?"

"Probably."

"Actually you could have some of ours." Sungchan offered as Shortaro smiled.

"Yeah, we haven't touched it yet."

"Oh, yeah. We actually ordered more than the two of us could eat."

Taeil shot them a friendly smile with Shotaro nodding.

"The fluffy animals can't help us either."

Melanie chuckled.

"I'm pretty sure this is supposed to be a solo dining and not a get-together of sorts."

Melanie reminded them although she knew that Katherine low-key wanted to sit together. Melanie then pointed at the hippopotamus and lion.

"Besides, Hank the Hippo and Leon the Lion may get jealous if we sat with another."

The males chuckled as they immediately moved a plate and glass over to Melanie's table.

"We wouldn't want that now. So how about this instead?"

"That's fine."

"Well, the two of you enjoy your night."

The males cast the females a polite smile as they returned to their table while Melanie shot Katherine a look. Katherine shot her a knowing look, but the two went back to their own respective table. Melanie enjoyed her now honey brick toast and a cotton candy milk tea with Hank the Hippo as Katherine did the same with Leon the Lion. Later that night the quartet helped cleaned up after the Black Nighttime while telling one another about their night. Serena eventually found the bracelet after clean-up and still deny the fact to Katherine that their lives were a drama series awaiting to happen.
