I help Daehwi's cuts with the first aid kit. I dab on a bit of antiseptic onto his face. He winced in pain but still smiling at me.
"How can you smiling when you're hurt like this?" I ask.
"Cuz you're beautiful. When looking at you, it's not a pain anymore." He answered.
"Shut that up, Lee Daehwi or this kit will fly to your face less than one second." My true self went out.
"Noona ~ don't be like this. I'm just teasing you. It's funny." Daehwi circles his arm with mine, walking away from the room.
"Daehwi.. It's okay I can walk alone. So, goodbye." I put his arm down, freeing myself from him. "... And can you take this back? I feel guilty to take it.."
I walk away leaving him alone at the school gate. You have done a good job, Yena. If I'm just let him do anything he wanted, I'm afraid their friendship broken.
After a few walks, the sky is turning darker and darker, estimating the rain will come soon. As I continue my step, a few drops of rain poured. I quickly find a shade.
I sit under the café roof, waiting for the rain to stop. It's already late. I should be back home before 5 pm, now is 5:30 pm.
The door of the cafe opens up and hit me who's sitting behind the door. "Ouch!" I wince in pain.
"I'm sorry.. I do not intend to... Song Yena?" It's Ong Seungwoo, the newbie.
"It's already late. You might be scold by your mom. Come follow me to go to my house." He pleasures.
"Your house? Why?!" I'm shocked.
"Cuz I wanna do it." He said and tugs on my hand, pulling me to enter his car.
I swear his car so expensive. Sitting inside feels like sitting in VIP places in a restaurant. I can't help but busy looking overall in the car system. Air-conditioning, seats, water services. All complete.
"My car is amazing, right?" Ong nudges me while boasting.
"I know this is not your car. It's your dad's, right?" I question him back.
"Ehem..!" He points on his name printed on the window glasses. "Take those words back please."
"Why should I?" I glare at him.
He moves nearer to my seat and cornering me. "You know what.. That's a special attraction that makes me want you more."
I push him with all might, ignoring him right away. I take out my phone and call my mom.
"Eomma.."
"Song Yena! Where are you?! It's already 6:00 pm."
I look at Ong, trying to think about some reasons. And a simple idea came up.
"Eomma.. It'll be staying at my friend's home for a school project."
"Which friend?! Tell me.."
"Eomma.. They're new students. Can you give me permission? Please.."
"Okay. Just this once. Come back home tomorrow, okay?"
"Gumawo eomma! Saranghae"
I end the call feeling relieved. Ong looks at me with a disgusted face. "What?!" I question him.
"When you said 'please', it's too ughhh not cute." He said while mimicking the way I said before.
"Ahaha.. Lemme give you a punch." I take the small pillow on the seat and hit him.
"Ahhh.. I'm sorry I'm sorry." He apologizes and folds his ears, making me laugh.

"I'm back!" Seungwoo greets while arranging his shoes on the rack.
I stay behind him while looking around in awe. I never get into a house as big as this one.
"You're back, Seungwoo.. And Yena?" Jisung confused.
"This boy dragged me here.." I glare at Ong. "Wait.. Does all of you newbies live here?!"
"Yes we are, gurl ~" Woojin smirks.
"Wahhh finally there's a girl here!!" Jaehwan screams in happiness while hugging me.
"Let go of me. I'm stink now. Where's the bathroom? May I take a shower for a while?" I ask.
"It's upstairs. There are some towels inside, so just use it. Make sure you lock the door." Jisung advises.
"Okay, mom~" I tease him, walking away.
As soon as I reach upstairs, I knock on the door to know whether it's occupied or not. But no answer. I knock on harder like wanna break the door. Luckily the door unlocks. I welcomed with shirtless and wet-haired Daniel.
I look away quickly. Damn, why must I see you here?!
