While Young Ho was laying on my bed, Ten and I were doing our history project. "What do you mean it's a not B, it's B, and not a," I said to Ten. "You know what? I'm done I can't handle anymore history my brain is going to explode." I said as I threw the book on the bed and walked over to the window. “I mean it's not that hard to understand Emily,” Young Ho said picking the book up and taking a look for himself. I shot him a glare. “Anyways Ten, do you want to have dinner with us?” I asked him while I was putting my notebook away. "No, I don't think I should." Ten was quite an attractive guy if I may say so myself. He was about 5’7 with jet black hair and killer legs.
"Come on, you did 80% of the work the least I can do is treat you," I begged him "You know what, I will." I smiled at him Young Ho looked like he was sleeping, so I brought Ten downstairs and called everyone down. "So are we going to eat sushi tonight?" I said to the Noods. "Yeah sushi sounds good. Hey guys should we invite Jas, my boss? We don't exactly have many friends around our age here." Loren said from the couch “That sounds good, Sophia search up a good sushi place we can go eat and well start going.”
“Oh, so Ems I found this place but it’s a bit far from home.” she showed me her phone “But is the rating high?” Sophia nodded "Okay you guys can go first I'll be there, I need to grab Young Ho," I said running upstairs with the sounds of 'oohs' trailing my back. "Shut up," I said to them.
"Young Ho," I said softly, "Young Ho," I said poking his sides. He flinched and tackled me on to the bed, "Hey, what are you doing?" I asked him in shock. "Let me sleep," he said burying his face into my back. "What the hell Young Ho?" I said. I tried to pry away from his grip. It's useless because he's too strong. "Just tell them to go first, I'll drive you to the sushi place later."
"Young Ho," I whined, "But I'm hungry." "Too bad, I'm tired," he said as he trailed back to his sleep, I grabbed my phone and texted my chat. I put my phone down and gave into his hug, "I swear Young Ho, you are not soft." "Try me." he mumbled, "I wouldn't try you, even if you were a sample."
Five minutes passed
"Alright let's go," Young Ho said releasing his arm from around me. "I'm cold now," I said tiredly. "Come here," he said while opening his arms. "NO! I'm hungry," I ran down the stairs and waited for him. Once he reached the bottom of the stairs, we headed to his bike. He handed me his helmet and we started driving. Somehow during the ride I started to drift asleep, so he had to keep moving me to the centre so I didn't tip the bike over. "We are here," he said turning off his bike. I got off and gave him the helmet. I stretched my arms out. "Aw man, I'm hungry." We walked inside and we saw my gang still waiting for a table. "Hey, guys, you didn't get a table yet?" I asked. "No, apparently you have to wait for everyone to be here first," Sophia answered.
"Who are we missing?" I asked. "Jas said that she is bringing her boyfriend so they are missing." Just as Loren said that Jas walked in with her boyfriend, hand in hand.
"Hey Jas!" Loren said. "Hi Loren, hi guys, this is my boyfriend Haechan!"
"Hi Haechan," we all say in unison. "Sorry I'm late," Renjun said while walking through the door. Loren started blushing. "Right, I hope you don't mind. I brought along Renjun because he is new and wanted to make some friends," Jas said. "From the looks of it, Loren sure doesn't mind," Young Ho responded. I slapped his chest, "Shut the hell up, Young Ho."
"Your table is right this way," the waiter said to the Noods and friends.
"Stop kicking me, Young Ho," I said “make me,” he stuck his tongue out at me, that forced me to kick him in the balls. "Gosh Emily, why do you have to do this to my manhood?" he groaned as he held on his manhood.
30 mins later
A couple of guys walked in, they have a nice slender figure then it hit me! It was Professor Jae and Professor Doyoung. Paige looked down at her fried rice. They must have seemed to notice us because Mr Kim walked over and greeted us. "Oh, hi Emily, I didn’t know you eat here!" Professor Kim said to me. "Oh wait, you have her too?" Mr Jae asked. "Yeah, I have her for Math 101, you have her too?" he placed a hand on Mr Jae’s shoulder. "I have her for Korean history, and I must say her friend Paige was causing trouble in my class today," he answered with a smirk. Paige was still looking at her rice as I continue talking to Mr Jae and Mr Kim. "Do you want to sit with us?" I asked them. Mr Jae looked at Mr Kim and back at me again "I mean sure, why not," Jae replied.
The entire time we were at dinner, Young Ho was trying to feed me the shrimp. "Young Ho, stop I don't want to eat the shrimp." I pushed the fork away from my mouth. “ come on why don't you like shrimp” he said eating the shrimp himself. “I do like shrimp but I don't feel like eating it right now,” I said as I popped another piece of my sushi in my mouth.
An hour later
After we finished eating I saw ten pulling out his wallet "Hey Ten, you know you don't have to pay right?" I said grabbing the check from him. "Yeah I know, but I insist," he said grabbing the bill back. "But you said that I would pay," pulling the bill back. "Stop it, Emily, I said I'll pay," Ten said pulling the bill back.
"You know what I'll pay," Young Ho says, grabbing the bill from both our hands. "Young Ho, you can't pay. You already paid for our ramen and the chicken you bought for us yesterday," I said trying to grab the bill form Young Ho, but he stood up and raised the bill over my head. "Young Ho stop! I want to pay," I said jumping for the bill,
"Young Ho, please."
"Kiss me."
I stopped jumping and looked at him. "What did you just say?" my eyes widen in shock. "If you want to pay, then kiss me." he was firm with his words and that could seriously make a girl melt. "Seo Young Ho, what is wrong with you?"
"A lot of things, now are you going to kiss me or sit down?" he asked.
“Listen here, Young Ho. Do you want to die?"
"I think about it from time to time."
"Here is your check. Sign here and here and you are all set to go!"
Once we all thanked Young Ho for paying for dinner, we headed back to our homes. "Do you want me to take you home?" "Why so you can SEXUALLY HARASS ME again?" I asked turning my head the other way. "Don't act like you don't like it. Come on you hugged me back," he said, "Come on Emily just let me take you home, that's it, maybe if there is the time we can stop by the candy store?" the fact that I had to think about it for a second make me a b***h. "Fine, but I'm doing it for the candy, and I swear to f*****g jesus, if you pay I'm going to kick you in the balls again"
"Noted."
I turned around to Ten as he was looking around clueless as ever. "Ten, do you have a ride?" I asked him "Nah, I can order a cab," he said pulling out his phone. "Where do you live?" I asked, "I live near a laundromat and a candy store." My eyes lit up, "A candy store? Like candy plaza?"
"Yeah! That place!"
"Young Ho can we give Ten a ride home?"
"No."
"Come on Young Ho, Loren and everyone else has school tomorrow and he lives near the candy store."
"So, you have school tomorrow."
"Yeah, but you want to drive me home," I crossed my hand "Besides he's not fat, In fact he's he is skinnier than me."
He huffed is defeat "Fine."
"Here Ten, sit behind me. I don't think Young Ho has another helmet so here, take mine," I said while handing him my helmet. As soon as I handed him my helmet Young Ho put his helmet on my head. "Young Ho, you are driving. You have a to wear a helmet," I said taking the helmet off and he pushed it back on.
"It's fine, I have glasses that protect my eyes. Now hang on," he said as he got on to his bike.
He started off fast and I wrapped my arms around Young Ho. Then Ten wrapped his arms around me. "Oh my gosh Ten, that tickles," I said trying to not move the bike as much. "Oh sorry, this is new for me," he said and proceed to hang on by holding the metal bars on the side.
5 minutes later
We got to the candy shop.
"Here we are," Young Ho said, "Bye, Ten."
I waved at him. "Come on Ems let's go in the candy store."
We walked into the candy store and I saw my favourite candy of all time.
Banana candy
"Oh my gosh, Young Ho, I love this type of candy!"
It was weighed by the pound, but I really didn't care, I just placed it all in one bag. Once I tied the bag, I went to the cashier. "It will be $19.98," the cashier said. Young Ho grabbed out his card when I was looking for my cash, "Young Ho, what the hell? Do you want me to kick you in balls?!" I yelled at him. The cashier looks at us and smiled and then said
"Are you two dating? Because argue like a married couple."
"Oh no, we are not dating. I would never date him."
"Offended."
"Oh, what a shame...here's your change, and have a good day!"
We walked out of the store, and then to his bike. "Here you are," Young Ho said placing the helmet on my head.
"Thank you, wear your helmet."
"Gee, I didn't think you cared for me."
"Shut up."
"You know you love me."
"Don't make me puke on you."
Once we arrived home, I hopped off Young Ho's bike. "Thank you for the ride," I said while taking off my helmet. "If you need a ride, just call me," he said pulling my arm. "Even if it's at 4 am just to grab a burger?" He chuckled, "Even if it's at 4 am to grab a burger." My smile widens. "Alright, I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked "I don't know, maybe, I have the same classes I had today," I answered. "Okay, do you need me to pick you up tomorrow?"
"Oh, I don't know if you can or not, because my class ends at 3."
"Oh yeah, no problem. My class ends at 3 too."
"You know, it's almost like you planned it," I said while handing him his helmet.
He pulled the helmet which made me fumble and takes a step closer to him.
"Whoa there, trying to make a move on me already?"
"Shut the hell up," I said and smacked his head.
"Ow, why do you have to be so dam aggressive” I shrugged “Alright then, I'll see you tomorrow," he said.
"Bye"
"Bye."
I turned around and walk towards to front of the door. I opened it and walked inside. "I think I might have feelings for Seo Young Ho." "Yeah, I know you do," Sophia said revealing herself from the kitchen, holding a bucket of ice cream. "That is so like you," I told her squinting my eyes and tilting my head.
"Shut up and go to sleep," she said.
"Will do," I said and walked upstairs, and go ready for bed.
BEEP BEEP
Aw man. Where has the time gone, it's felt like three minutes since I've closed my eyes. I reached over to check my phone, but something didn't feel right. Young Ho wasn't by my side. I guess I've gotten used to him, and it was cold. It was 6:12 am. Proves my point right, I do wake up earlier without people by my side. I got out of bed and into the bathroom. After I brushed my teeth, I walked downstairs to see everyone with their books out.
"So what are we studying?"
"You are joking right Emily?" Paige asking. "No, why?" I asked in confusion. "Dude, we have a quiz in Mr Jae's class."
"s**t, WHY DIDN'T ANYONE TELL ME?" I ran upstairs to change into my uniform, I grabbed my backpack and headed back downstairs. I set my books down and proceeded to study.
"Paige, hurry up and get in the car!" Loren said to dodo and she hurried and rushed into the car.
"So Emily?" Sophia asked. "Yeah?"
"What's up with you and Young Ho?"
"Psh, what do you mean?" I stepping into the car.
"You know what I mean," she wiggled her eyebrows.
"Nothing is going on with us," and with that, I’ve said only truths
We go to the Uni and Paige parked the car next to the handicap sign.. We were lucky enough to get there early and get a good parking lot.
“Guys do you want to get some drinks?” Loren asked us “Sure” we all really in unison. We were still in a rush so we had to order the drinks quickly and rush to Mr Jae’s room
We got into Mr Jae's class and sat at our seats.
"Okay class, I hope you studied for our quiz."' You could hear half the class gasp. "Alright you have the 2 hours for the quiz, you may start now." There was a white paper on the desk I pulled out my pencil and began the test.
Around 2 hours later
"Alright class did everyone turn in their papers?” he looked the room to see if anyone had their paper in their hands. “Alright class hang out for a while, and I'll grade your papers."
"I think I failed that test," Sophia said. "Me too," everyone said in unison.
30 minutes later
"Alright, you guys you did well. Good jobs to Emily, she got a 95%. Not 100%, but I'll take it. Oh, and thank you, Paige, for getting 36% the lowest out of everyone. Meet me in my office after class," he said setting down the tests.
I turn to look at the Noods, "Wtf, the only thing I have ever passed in my life is I will not to live." After we got out of the class, Loren went to work.

Everyone in the Noods was at the coffee store after Mr Jae’s class watching Loren get flustered over Renjun. Loren was messing everything up. She was spilling coffee left and right and messing up on the orders. "Hey Loren, can you bring me the coffee pot?" Renjun asked her. "S-sure." She found it hard to find her words around Renjun, she didn't know what it was that made her feel this way. She walked towards him and almost fell, but it was Renjun that caught her. Her face heat up to the colour of the rose, she was bright pink and there was no denying it.
Two hours later
"Hey guys, are we going to dinner tonight?" Paige asked the Nood Gang as they sat in a circle. "Yeah I'm in, If Young Ho is paying," Sophia said playing on her phone. "I kinda feel bad, because he has literally paid for everything since we've gotten here." Emily was braiding Loren's hair. "Ha, not the gas money," Loren said. "Well yeah, food-wise," Emily said. They all walked into the science hallway and went their separate ways.
As soon as the Noods Gang left to go their separate ways, Loren walked into her science class and sat near the guy that was wearing too much cologne. "So class, I know today is only the second day, but I want you to find a partner and talk about the periodic table." Everyone in the class was about to partner up but the teacher opens her mouth and said, "Plot twist I'm picking the partners."
A crowd of 'awes' came out.
"Alight kids, when I call your name, please find your partner."
"Rick, Nick
Dan, Phil
John, Johnson
Peter, Bob
Kimchi, Soju
.
.
.
Loren and Renjun,"
Her heart stopped. She turned to look over at Renjun, he was looking down at his book, but once she heard his name, his turned his over and his eyes met with Loren's, it was almost like he knew where she was sitting.
Emily pov
As soon as I finished science class, I walked out to see where Young Ho was.
Ring ring
I looked at my phone, it was Young Ho who called me.
"Hello?" I asked looking around "Hey, go over to the coffee shop."
"Okay," I hung up the phone and walked over to the coffee shop, this will be my third time at the coffee shop. Once I got there, I could see Young Ho picking up his drink, he lifted his head up and saw me and smiled. "Hey Young Ho," I said walking over to him. "Here you go, one matcha green tea," he said handing over my cup. I looked at him in awe. "How did you know?" I asked, picking my cup up out of his hands. "Loren told me," he said while shrugging. "You asked her?" He looked around for a bit and changed the topic. "So, you want to go home now?"
I nodded.
We walked for 5 mins to find his bike. "Here we are," he said while giving me his extra helmet. "I swear Seo Young Ho, you are going to kill me one day." "With that face? I'd never."
It took a total of 7 minutes to arrive home.
"Home sweet home," I said while taking off my helmet, "Thanks for the ride, Young Ho." "Anytime. So uh, can I come in?" he asked. "You? Come in? You've practically been in this house the same amount of time I have." "So is that a yes or no?"
"Yes, silly." I used my keys to open the front door "Hey Young Ho, do you want to go eat dinner tonight?"
"Oh, are you asking me on a date?"
"No, all the gucci gang is coming too," I answered.
"Oh, am I paying?"
"To hell, if you are paying, I'm paying."
"We'll see about that," he said while winking.
"Whatever, I'm going to take a nap now," I said while running up the stairs.
"Oo let me join," he said following behind me.
"Pervert."
"Not if you say yes."
Gosh, he is such a flirt.
"Hold on, I'll be right back," I said while grabbing my shorts. "I'll wait as long as you want," he said while plopping on to the bed. I came back all changed and Young Ho was already passed out. I put my uniform into the uniform laundry basket and walked over to my bed.
"Gosh Young Ho, scoot over," I said trying to make room for myself.
"I don't want to," he mumbled

Knock knock (knock knock knock knock)
There was a knock on the door. The Noods Gang had just come home from school.
Out of the blue, Loren said, "Wait why are we knocking on the door. We live here?"
Everyone realized that they did live there.
Young Ho and Emily were still sleeping soundly.
Sophia ran upstairs to see if Emily is awake. She opened Emily door.
"Hey Emily, are you awake?" Sophia asked.
"No, she's not awake," Sophia said to the Noods downstairs.
"I mean it is only 4:13, let them sleep," Loren said.
"Guys I had the craziest day ever," Loren said to her friends who were sitting on the couch.
Then she proceeded to tell them about her incident with Renjun.
Three hours later
Emily pov
Gosh, I am so warm right now. s**t, I'm lucid dreaming again. Wait, what is Young Ho doing here? Why is he bring his head closer?
Is he trying to kiss me? Oh my god, aha. "Ah haha," I shot up from the bed. "Hey, hey, hey, are you are okay?" Young Ho asked in a panicked tone. "Yeah, I'm fine," I responded trying to collect all my thoughts together. "No you're not, you are breaking into a cold sweat," he said pouting his hand to my forehead.
"It was just a bad dream," I told him.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Psh is he crazy? If anything, it might have been my best dream yet.
"No I'm fine, we should get ready to go out for dinner."
Once I got up, I changed my clothes.
After changing, Young Ho and I walked down stairs to see everyone sleeping.
"Hey guys, aren't we going to dinner?" I asked them.
"Yeah you guys go ahead and get a reservation, we will be with you there shortly," Loren said letting out a small yawn.
I nodded and young Ho opened the front door for me.
"Thank you."
"Any day," he smiled.
15mis
"How many people?" the waiter asked us.
"7 people-" I got cut off by Young Ho.
‘8 people," he told the waiter .
"I invited Renjun."
Oo this is going to be quite a dinner.
15 minutes later
Everyone arrived.
"Your table is right this way," the waiter said as she walked us to the table.
We all sat down and ordered our food.
This was our table.
"Hey guys, sorry I'm late. I was having trouble with the car," Renjun said taking a seat next to Loren.
Loren blushed hard.
"Let's get this dinner on," Imi said.
Two hours later
It was around 9:35 by the time we finished dinner.
"Here's the check," the waiter said.
Young Ho grabbed it so fast.
"Hey! I said I was paying today!"
"Hey, first come first serve."
"Young Ho stop this. Let me pay for once."
"Okay if you want to pay so bad here you go," he handed me the check.
I looked at it.
"Holy f*****g crap."
"What? How much is it?" Ton asked me.
I showed her the check.
"What the hell, let Young Ho pay."
"No, I'm paying," I said proudly. "Guess my life's savings are gone."
I place my card on top of the check and handed it back to the waiter.
"I'll be right back I have to use the bathroom," Young Ho said.
I nodded.

Little did Emily know that Young Ho was planning to go to the waiter and pay for the meal for Emily. He didn't know why he would do this so easily. Before Emily, he would never spend a dime on anyone. He went and paid and told them to hand the card back to Emily. "Okay I'm back," Young Ho said while sitting down again. They sat there for an extra 5 minutes to talk.
"Alright, I think it's time to go home now," Paige said to everyone. We all agreed and walked outside and drove home. Of course, Emily got on the bike with Young Ho. Once the Noods and Young Ho got home, Young Ho asked if he could sleep over thinking Emily say no, but to his surprise, she said yes.
Emily pov
Once we had finished dinner we all went home, and of course, Young Ho asked me to ride with him.
It was a fast fifteen-minute ride.
"Hey Emily, do you mind if I sleep over tonight, it's late and my house is kind of far," he asked. "Sure, but don't touch me"
"How can I not? You are irresistible," he said slinging an arm over me.
"Hey, Young Ho do you need me to keep a toothbrush for you because you are always here?" I asked him out of the blue.
"I-I mean you might as well because you are going to be seeing a whole lot of me," he said
"Turn off the lights Young Ho, and close the door."
"Ooo, why do we need to close the door?"
"Oh stop acting like a child, and close it."
"Alright, should I lock it too?"
"Yeah lock it," I told him.
"Ooo what are you planning tonight Emily?"
"Shut up, I can't sleep if the door isn't locked."
"Well, that sucks."
"Yeah, go to sleep."
"I love you," Young Ho said.
"What the f**k did you just say to me?"
