Jisoo grabbed Eden by the wrist, slipping bug spray into the girl's bag before she could leave. “Wear your bug spray, I don’t want you coming home with bites.”

“Yes mother.”

The girl smiled seeing Seokmin in his car, waiting for her to come out. She pulled open the door and sat comfortably. She brought a beach bag to put all her stuff in.

“What’s this?” He eyed the bag that seemed to be heavy. She fastened her seatbelt before ever letting her head fall back against the headrest.

“I have a wide variety of snacks, even bug spray that Jisoo gave me. I know how you hate bugs.”

“Ahh, yes the beautiful outdoors.” He chuckled, his elbow resting on the center console with his other hand on the wheel. “You ready?”

“Yup. I have money for popcorn too.”

“So we’re all set?”

“Mhm, what about music?” She looked over at him, raising her eyebrows. Seokmin had playlists for everything. Special occasions, different genres, certain moods, even one made for him and Eden.

He grabbed his phone out of his pocket, handing it to her before he switched gears and backed out of the girls dorm. He let her put her face on as an option to unlock his phone, even giving her his passcode. She knew his and he knew hers. That is how much they trusted each other.

“Which playlist?” She glanced up at him momentarily, before going back to scrolling through his collection of playlists.

“Hmm, what about the one titled ‘e’?”

She had to start from the top, slowly scrolling and searching for the playlist he had. It took her a minute before she eventually found it and played it through his bluetooth. What Eden was oblivious to, the playlist had all of their favorite songs of each other, from his OSTs, seventeen’s music, to blackpink’s songs. It was to their surprise that ‘Hope Not' played first.

“Ooh, such a good song.” He smiled as he peeked over at her. She rolled her eyes, looking at his smug face.

“Ok, sing it then.” She snapped her fingers, pointing at him. She was still hesitant and shy to sing in front of him. She thought her vocals could never amount to how perfect and powerful he was.

She was in absolute awe as he sang the chorus. He sounded so angelic, but she was also shocked how he could sing and drive at the same time. She would hum her lines quietly, just so she could hear him.

Seokmin popped open his trunk where they were going to sit. He had prepared pillows and blankets, as well as a bug zapper.

“I’m gonna go get the popcorn.” She appeared at his side, watching him spread the blankets.

“I can come with you.” He beamed back at her, hurriedly fluffing the pillows and blankets.

“Are you sure? It’s just over there.”

He nodded before turning around and patting the top of her head. “Yeah let’s go.”

He wasn’t about to let her go by herself. There were strangers and it was getting dark. It was also another excuse to enjoy her company.

She kicked a pebble on the gravel with her shoe, walking shoulder to shoulder with him to the concession stand. As she stood up to order, she couldn’t get a word out before he was already asking for popcorn. She raised her eyebrows, looking up at him as he told the employee that was all he needed. He reached into his back pocket and pulled out money to pay for their large popcorn.

“Hey,” Her face crinkled up, slapping his arm as he handed the woman money. “I could’ve paid for that.”

“Don’t worry, I got it.” He put his wallet back and grabbed the big box of popcorn from the counter. Before taking a handful for himself, he lowered it towards her where she grabbed a scoop and shoved it in her mouth.

“I can’t believe you didn’t let me pay for that.” She pouted, crossing her arms and following close behind him.

“Should I say sorry?” He snickered, throwing a piece at her.

She rolled her eyes, letting out a huff before thanking him.

Eden slipped her shoes off, trying to get comfy in the small space in the back of his car. It had been some time since they last saw a movie together, let alone at a drive in. She climbed out of the trunk to grab her bag, remembering the bug spray Jisoo had given to her.

“We almost forgot,” She sat back down in her spot, shaking the bottle and holding out her hand. “Hand?”

Seokmin flopped his arm towards her, letting her spray him and waving her hand to let it dry. She grabbed his other arm that was placed in his lap and repeated.

He took the bottle from her and did just as she did to him. He even tapped on her knee, causing her to sweep her legs out as she was sitting on them. Eden was wearing shorts so Seokmin didn’t even bother with anything other than his arms.

“Where’s the zapper?” Her eyes scanned the little fort they made. He grabbed it from behind him and handed it to her.

“I’ll make sure no one touches my sunshine.” She held the device with both of her hands and acted as if she was swatting a tennis ball. Seokmin could’ve screeched by how she made his heart swoon. His cheeks were obviously a shade of crimson as his eyes smiled, the thing she loved most about making him laugh.

“You know why they’re so attracted to you?” Eden pursed her lips before she cracked her joke.

“Why?” He shifted to a different position, laying on the floor with his elbow holding him up.

“Because you shine so bright.” She snorted, slapping her knee and letting out an inaudible laugh. He tried his best to keep a straight face and not show a reaction, but he failed when air escaped his lips. He pulled the blanket over his head and giggled while she was still cracking herself up.

The two eventually settled down to watch the movie. Occasionally they would criticize and joke about some of the scenes and try to throw popcorn in the air to land in each other’s mouths. Seokmin was most skilled at that while the popcorn would just land on Eden’s eye or fall down her shirt. There was popcorn all over the place and it was gonna be torturous to clean up later.

Eden was finally at a happy spot, back with her best friend doing what they both liked. She would talk about how she hated people who talked a lot during movies, and now she was turning into that person. But it was okay because she and Seokmin would talk about it together, even have a nice debate. Both of their reactions to certain scenes were priceless.

At some point, Seokmin ended up with his head resting on her lap. It was most comfortable given his long legs and the confined space. She didn’t mind either. She could braid his strands and push his hair back so she could flick his forehead every now and then. They’d both stopped paying attention to the movie and more on each other.

She rubbed his temples with her thumbs before poking the mole on his cheek. “I have to go to the bathroom. You’re gonna have to get up.”

He pouted before turning over and using his hands to push himself up. “Let’s go.”

All of a sudden, she looked confused. She was catching onto him, wondering what he was doing. She was sure she made it clear that she could pay for the popcorn, but he ended up doing it anyway. And any other time, she would go to the bathroom by herself and come back to let him catch her up on what she missed. But that was at an actual theater, not a drive-in where there were a bunch of people in the dark, so she understood his concern. She’d be lying if she said it didn’t make her heart flutter just a little bit.

“You don’t have to escort me everywhere, you know.”

He captured his lip between his teeth as he broke their eye contact. “I know. But I will either way.”

It didn’t seem like he was gonna take no for an answer anytime soon, so she let him tag along. As she started walking away, Seokmin gasped, running back to his car.

“Wait,” Eden turned around and watched him waddle to grab something out of the car. It was his bug zapper. Her tongue pressed against the side of her cheek, crossing her arms and watching him skip back to her. “Ready.”

Seokmin waited outside the restrooms, watching all the people entering and leaving. He was extremely paranoid, hearing all the crickets and bugs of the night. When a moth flew past him, he tensed up, ducking his head to stand in another spot. His shoulders squished up, trying to zap them with his tool.

That’s when Eden finished up and came out to see Seokmin, completely unaware of his surroundings, batting the bugs that dared to trespass his bubble. If only she had her phone, it would’ve been a hilarious moment to capture. It was hard for her to understand why he would risk being attacked by bugs to walk her to the bathroom. Did he really think she would get snatched?

Approaching him, she grabbed the zapper from him, fighting off the bugs before dragging him away by his arm. “You didn’t have to come.”

“But I wanted to.” He whined as they got further away from the extremely lighted areas. She dusted off his shirt and messed with his hair to make sure no bugs stuck to him. She didn’t want to have to explain to anyone why he screamed like a little girl when a bug was crawling on him.

Getting back to his car, she realized the mess they made with the popcorn, and because of her cleanliness, she had to pull the blanket out and get rid of all the leftover kernels. “They would’ve hated us for this if we went to an actual theater.”

“It’s my car so it’s okay.” He helped her spread the blanket back down before they climbed in and got comfy. She kept the bug zapper close between them in case anyone needed it. She tried to get comfy, lying on her side as her forearm supported her.

She paid no mind to Seokmin, who was trying to mimic her posture and get in the same position. That is when he started to grow nervous. The night was nearing its end and something was bothering him for weeks now. No matter how many times he would try to force it, nothing would ever come out of his mouth. His schedules were going to pick up in frequency and it was unclear when they could hang out together again.

She finally noticed him looking at her out of her peripheral vision. He could see her eyes turn and he quickly looked away, trying to save himself the embarrassment with a fake cough. She looked over to check up on him. Neither of them knew what was going on in the movie they came here for. Now as he saw her looking at him, he had no choice but to meet her eyes.

“Are you okay tonight?” She asked him, her voice cracking during her whisper. He clenched his jaw, swallowing in complete nervousness. They both knew each other so well, she knew when something was agitating him. He gazed at her dark brown eyes while one half of her face was shadowed by the projector screen. He could feel his pulse pumping in his ears, just as she could feel her entire body being clouded with heat. They had completely drowned out their surroundings.

He used his wrist to gently push her hair behind her shoulder, his hand creeping its way behind her neck. He cupped her cheek with his palm, feeling the warmth of her skin against his icy fingers. He inched closer and closer to her, their noses just touching before he turned his head and planted his lips onto hers. Her eyes subconsciously fluttered shut, melting into his touch. He was expecting her to push him away at this point.

As they both pulled away for air, Eden’s eyes scanned his and eventually fell to his lips. She could tell he was trying to play it as seriously as possible, but she saw his nervousness and uncertainty in his features. He was scared to take a breath or anything that would throw her off.

“I’m-” She knew exactly what he was going to say. Before he even had the chance to apologize, she quickly shushed him by pressing her lips against his, Eden taking initiation this time. Sure, she’s had many kisses before, but Seokmin felt particularly different. A good difference.

It was genuine. None of the kisses she’s ever had felt like the way he did. It made her feel warm and wanted, but also the fear of getting hurt crept into her mind. Her past relationship with Jimin only made her stronger, but she felt closer to Seokmin. There was trust and stable ground to work with. They were friends first before lovers.

Her hand had landed on his chest in the midst of it all. She gripped his shirt as they separated, dropping her head and biting her lip. He retrieved his hand from her cheek, sliding down her shoulder.

“Seok?” She whispered from under him. Worry surfaced in him, afraid she would reject him.

“Yeah?”

“I like you, and you mean the world to me,” Her head now pressed against his chest, sinking into his warmth. “I don’t think I could bear it if I lost you.”

“You’re not gonna lose me.” He frowned as he reassured her, massaging her knuckles with his thumb.

“Do you want to give this a shot?” Eden had to know he was sure before they jumped into anything.

He nodded, pressing his lips to the top of her head. “I do.”

“Then let’s take it slow. I can’t mess this up. I wanna do this right.”

“It’s okay. Let’s just take it slow. I’ll be patient for as long as you need.” His voice was soft and silky which calmed her nerves and was a sign that everything was going to be okay.

“Thank you.” She didn’t need to explain it all to him. He understood how she felt. She didn’t want to rush into another relationship like she did with Jimin. She was so tangled up with him that she mistaken lust and desire for love. There was no room for love in their toxic relationship. She and Seokmin had something pure and special. There was mutual trust and respect.

“C-can I kiss you again?” He stuttered on his words for the first time. Eden chuckled, looking up at him and nodding with a gleam in her eyes.

His hand came up to guide her chin, his fingers running along her jaw. There was no hesitance or uncertainty, so he went for it. He brushed her bottom lip gently before kissing her delicately. It all came naturally from there. She smiled against him, her hand sneaking behind his neck and into his hair.

His thumb stroked her cheek, hoping it would show her that he had good intentions. Seokmin was a smiling, blushing, giggly mess as he pulled away.

“You’re so cute.” She let the compliment slip right out, widening her eyes when she realized what she said.

“I don’t think I’ve ever told you how beautiful you are.”

She rolled her eyes, bringing the weight off her hand as it was starting to fall asleep and sitting up straight. He took this opportunity to lay his head back down on her lap, looking up at her eyes and smiling brightly.

“My sun.” She whispered, booping his nose before her chilly fingertips rested on the perimeter of his face.

Eden glanced back at the movie, trying to follow what was going on. She had no clue what they were watching or what it was even about. But what she did know is that she liked Seokmin, and he liked her.

“You know,” He mumbled, closing his eyes knowing she was going to look down at him. “I’ve been trying to do this for a month now. I could never do it. I wouldn’t be able to forgive myself if I stayed quiet before being away from you for so long. I feel better now that you know my heart, and I can do well in my activities without it sitting in the back of my mind.”

She pouted her lips, being swept off her feet by how sincere he was. She knew how hard he tried to spend time with her before the boys kicked off their world tour. She smiled endearingly, poking that favorite mole of hers. “Am I really that intimidating?”

“I just wasn’t sure if you felt the same.”

“You don’t have to worry about that anymore.” She shook her head, massaging his cheekbones and tapping her finger pads along his face.

His eyebrows softened, opening his eyes and looking up at her. He brought his hand to touch her fingertips. She leaned down to place a kiss on his forehead, feeling warm and bubbly by the way he looked at her. It’s as if all her cares could just float away when looking at him.

“Do you understand the plot of this movie?” He muttered, his eyes shifting to the projection screen, tracing circles on her wrist.

“No clue.”

He sighed, exhaling deeply through his nostrils. “I’d say we could go if you’re not interested, but I just wanna stay like this.” His voice faded by the end of his sentence, pouting innocently.

“Or we can just drive and you can sing to me.” She added, knowing he knew how much she loved to hear his singing, especially to her. “I told Jisoo we’d be home by two.”

He brought his watch to his face, checking the time and humming in approval. “Three hours then,” He pushed himself up from the bed of the trunk, hopping out to land in the gravel. He offered his hand to her, smiling brightly, “I expect you to sing with me though.”

“Fine.” She rolled her eyes, grabbing his hand as he helped her out of the car. She stood level with his chin, looking up at him. He stood frozen in place, gazing at her eyes that sparkled in the moonlight. Entangling their hands, he brought his free hand to grasp her chin, guiding her face with his. He left a chaste kiss on her lips, squeezing her hand tighter like they didn’t have enough contact already.

Pulling away, he couldn’t hide the shy grin that formed on his face. “I wanted to see how I could kiss you standing tall like this. You’re so small it’s precious.”

― PARK JAENA

Jaena is like Hayun's lowkey partner in crime. They like planning evil, innocent schemes and messing with the members. Hayun gets super flustered when she gets caught and will blame it on the unnies. She tries not to let the older members influence her actions, because she likes to be seen as the good, calm, and collected child of the group. Jaena would be considered the cool mom.

Hayun was a bit intimidated at first but adjusted well to meeting Jaena. Something about Jaena was very inviting and comforting. Hayun has three moms, her biological mother, Eunji, and Jaena. Jaena is affectionate with her members which means she always has to lock arms with Hayun when they're out and about, like someone would take the young one away from her. Jaena is someone that Hayun looks up to, she wants to be mature with a sense of humor.

― SI YAHEE

Hayun always thought Yahee was so pretty and talented. She approached Yahee first and made small talk. It wasn't awkward how little they conversed, instead it was completely comfortable. 

They can go long in each other's company without speaking to each other and it's normal. They get along really well which is rare for someone like Yahee. Hayun likes to cling to her, which she doesn't mind at all. She wishes she had more confidence because it would be a shame for Yahee’s talent to go to waste. She sees her as an older sister that is supposed to protect the young one and be a good role model, but the roles are reversed. Yahee wants to be more like Hayun. She’s not too guarded but also knows she is still young and can have fun too.

― MOON HYEMI

Eunji and Jaena warned her about Faye before they first met. Hayun imagined her to be a punk princess with a very intimidating aura, but was quite surprised to see how comfortable and inviting she was. She had no idea what the two were talking about until Faye let a curse word slip from her mouth. The new member realized her mistake and told the young one not to tell the older girls. Hayun snickered quietly, already feeling appreciative of her.

Hayun thinks of Faye as the older sister that can and will beat someone up that ever hurts her. But because of this, it is the reason why Hayun avoids talking about other people to her. Faye is insistent on defending Hayun, even if she tells her not to. She remembers everything. Hayun sees Faye as someone very strong even when the odds are against her. Hayun doesn’t hold anything against her because she believes ones past is not something that should be definitive of a person.

― CHO MIYOUNG

These two together are dumb and dumber. Hayun was glad to find herself in another person. When they first met, they had no trouble getting along and becoming best friends. They spent the entirety of their youth together, all day every day. When Hayun would go back home for the holidays, she would develop some separation anxiety when not seeing Mia for a day.

“Trespass” Dance Practice:

TIDBITS:

The album itself along with the dance practice for trespass was recorded a year before their debut.

They were meant to debut in 2017 but there were some financial and personal issues with some members so the company decided to wait.

‘Honestly’ was written and produced by D-LOW. It is about his ex-girlfriend, Jihye of ROZIE whom he dated as a trainee but the two broke up not long after HEROES debut. It features backing vocals and narration from pre-debut Mila also of ROZIE.

Trespass was produced by CRAYDLE and the company CEOs, Digital Cat.

Jai became an instant hit after a video of him tripping going down stairs during their first fan meet went viral. He wasn’t injured and instead laughed because he was so embarrassed and fans just found him super cute.
