Kim Sunhee
The night was young and so were we. We danced together for the entire night, and not only did we grind, but we also jumped and moved around. At one point, the dj played two of EXO's songs, Call Me Baby and Love Me Right, and Chan did the whole choreography for me while I laughed uncontrollably. We were weird kids.
"Sun, I'll go to the bathroom, and then grab a drink. Don't move, alright?"
"Okay," I said over the loud music.
Once he left with a smile on his lips, I kept on moving around and doing random stuff with my arms. I had my eyes shut, in order to somehow feel the music. Don't judge me.
Suddenly, I felt someone's front press against my back. I knew it was Chanyeol, or so I thought, so I kept on dancing. It got a bit heated up, when the person's hands began roaming around my body. For some reason, I was paralyzed and didn't do anything to stop them. Then, out of the blue, there were lips pressed onto my neck.
"Chan," I managed to choke out, but couldn't speak much because I felt somewhat ticklish and was frozen. Still, there was a dirty sensation behind this. I grabbed the person's hands, trying to pry them off my body, but they resisted and only held me tighter. I tried to move, but I couldn't. "Chanyeol, what are you doing?" It wasn't until I finally looked up that I realized that this wasn't Chanyeol, but some pervert instead.
"Get away fro-" I couldn't even finish my sentence because the dude was pulled back and pushed to the floor. By Chan.
"What do you think you're doing?" Chanyeol screamed at the guy. "Don't you know when to stop? This girl," he stopped mid-sentence, grabbed ahold of my wrist and pulled me to his side, "She's with me. For your own safety, I suggest you stay away."
The guy looked afraid, and he just nodded. We had drawn some attention upon us, but we just shrugged it off. I still felt dirty, but I was glad that 1) it wasn't Chanyeol who was forcing himself on me, and 2) he was the one who saved me.
"Let's go, yes?"
I nodded and wrapped my hand around his. He smiled and pulled me out of the club. We took a cab back to the hotel. The ride wasn't long.
"I'm so tired," Chan whispered as we got into the elevator.
"So am I," I said, resting my head on his chest.
He wrapped an arm around my shoulders for the rest of the elevator trip. I felt safe in his arms. We weren't lovers, not even close to being, but we had gotten so close in, what, five days? He was like an older brother to me.
We stepped out of the elevator and walked up to my room. I opened the door and ambled inside.
"Can I stay here tonight?" Chan asked, scratching the back of his neck.
I only nodded, allowing him to stroll inside. Once he did, I closed the door. "I'll just warn you, if we're taking a bus back to Seoul, we have to wake up before nine. It's four now, so we'll only get about four hours of sleep."
"Gosh, so controlling." He rolled his eyes playfully.
"You can go sleep in your own room. I'll call my driver when I feel like leaving Busan."
He shook his head rather aggressively. "No, I'm only kidding. I'll sleep until you allow me to." He bowed like ten thousand times, and I only laughed.
"Let's go to bed," I said with a smile on my lips.
Well, I didn't exactly sleep around on this trip, but I made a new friend, a person who I thought was worthwhile, and we shared a bed more than once. All this within five days.
"Sunhee," Chanyeol whispered a few minutes after I turned the lights off.
"Mhm?"
"I had a great time with you," he said. "Even after that guy did what he did, I still think tonight was great."
I smiled as I faced the wall. "I had a great time, too."
"Promise me one thing."
"What?"
"Well, actually two. The first one is, promise that you'll go with me to any place I ask you to go." I knew there was an evil grin on his lips. I could only imagine it.
I chuckled silently. "As long as it does not get in the way with college, I promise. What's the second thing?"
"Promise that you won't stop being my friend."
I was taken aback, but quickly found myself smiling. "I promise."

Park Chanyeol
We woke up at exactly 8:05 in the morning. My head hurt, but I'd had worse headaches. Sunhee bossed me around, telling me to gather all my stuff, to be ready before nine, and to brush my teeth. What a girl.
Ten minutes before nine, we were already awaiting the bus. This time, I decided to not wear my face mask, it drew too much attention. We were sitting by a nearby bench, drinking coffee and joking around.
In all honesty, I've always been a very reserved person. I mean, I can mess around with you, but it's not as if I trust you. I don't really like sharing details about my personal life with people. It takes really special people, who I believe are worthwhile and trustworthy, for me to let them in my thoughts and issues.
That was the case with Sunhee. Although I had only known her for no more than a week, I still felt as though I could trust her. She just had that vibe. She irradiated positivity and trustiness, and that was exactly what I needed.
We got into the bus, which immediately took off once it was full of passengers. We took a seat in the middle section, and I sat beside the window, while she sat on the aisle seat. I'm sure you know why.
The bus ride was supposed to be five hours and 58 minutes long. We were both listening to music on our own headphones. I turned to look at her and noticed that her eyes were closing and opening in a fluttery manner. She was sleepy.
Suddenly, I felt a weight on my shoulders.
She had fallen asleep.
I rested my head over hers and fell asleep for the rest of the trip, as well.
