☾ 7

What if I don't show up? What will he do then? He can't blame me for not going since he just brought that up without notice or without me even agreeing. Why is he even like this? Ah, forget all of this I only have 9 weeks left until the competition! I need to keep up with my lessons.

"Yang Ji-eun?" I was pulled back to reality when I heard clicking sounds in front of my face. Hearing my full name sent shivers down my spine. Sana and Sunoo were both looking at me deeply making me feel like I did something wrong.

"Y-yes..?"

"What were you thinking about?"

"No one-" I bit my lip as I tightly shut my eyes, mentally facepalming myself as I realized what I said.

"Oh? So you were thinking about someone.." she replied with a sly grin plastered on her face. I effed up. Yep.

"No! No I wasn't!" I mumbled quickly, shaking my head to persuade them to stop talking about this.

"Who was it? Who were you so deeply immersed in thought about?" She continued to pry with a devilish grin on her face. I can't stop her now. She's going to ask again until she forces it out of me!

"Tell me..."

I shook my head, signaling no.

"Was it a guy?"

I aggressively shook my head, trying my best to not fumble in front of her or her boyfriend.

"You're lying. I can tell. Hey, though I met you only recently, I can already tell if you're lying or not so don't try telling me off now." Her tone was laced with confidence but indeed she wasn't lying. Damnit! She's too good at reading me!

We were already outside, sitting on a nice comfy bench as she continued to interrogate me.

"Now, was it a guy?" She asked once again, trying to get me to look at her in the face. I simply shook my head, saying 'yes' in a forced voice that I struggled to muster up. Just by my answer she perked up, boxing me in between her arms.

"It's about Sunghoon isn't it?" There was no ounce of uncertainty in her voice which made me look at her in shock.

"How did you know?" I finally gave in, curious about how she managed to come to that conclusion so fast.

"He seems—" she was unfortunately cut off my the buzzing of my phone. She paused, watching me take out my phone from my pocket to answer it. Chaerin? Why is she calling in the middle of a school day?

Chaerin: "HEY WHY ARE YOU HARDLY CONTACTING US?? WE'RE YOUR BEST FRIENDS! WHAT'S SO HARD ABOUT PICKING YOUR PHONE UP TO CALL US??"

She was so loud that both Sunoo and Sana overheard looking at me like if they were about to break out into laughter.

Ryuza: "YEAH! WE KEEP THINKING YOU DITCHED US OR YOU'RE DEAD!"

Ryuza's voice roared in the background, louder than Chaerin. I looked at Sana with an apologetic look of embarrassment but she only returned a face that was trying not to laugh.

Sana: "HER MIND HAS BEEN OVERTHROWN WITH THE THOUGHTS OF A GUY!"

Sana came closer to me, excitedly exclaiming into the phone, exposing the very thing I didn't want them to know about because they'd go crazy over it, more than I would.

Chaerin: "who— WHAT??"
Ryuza: "WHAT WAS THAT? WHO IS SHE? IS IT TRUE?"

Shuffling and girly screams were heard on the other end as they processed what Sana said. I was just holding the phone up, taking deep breaths to calm myself. Sunoo on the other hand was laughing at us. I glared at Sana and mouthed 'you're dead' before turning my attention back to the two on the phone.

Me: "calm down guys, she's my friend. Her name is Sana."

Chaerin: "oh, cool. Hey Sana! I hope our Eun isn't causing trouble over there but anyway that's not exactly important right now."

Ryuza: "the important thing is what she said. NOW, IS IT TRUE? IS OUR BABY FINALLY THINKING ABOUT A GUY?"

Ryuza continued Chaerin's sentence with excitement coursing through her voice. I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose to compose myself.

Me: "it's not like that. I swear. He's just bothering me, that's all. It's nothing important so calm yourselves and I'm sorry for not calling, okay? I've just been caught up in moving and you know-"

Chaerin: "nothing important, eh?"

In the background I heard both of them whispering but couldn't understand because it came out muffled.

Ryuza: "whatever you say..Princess."

Hearing her call me Princess reminded me of him and I couldn't help but curse myself for thinking of him.

Ryuza: "we'll see about it all. Get ready Princess, we're visiting."

My eyes widened when I heard what Ryuza said. They're visiting? What? How?

Me: "what? What's that supposed to me? You guys are coming? When? How? Don't you have school??"

Too many questions were plaguing my mind as I was left struck in confusion. I couldn't bring myself to say another word as I held the phone in my shaky hands.

Chaerin: "we'll tell you when we get there. See you in a couple of days Eun."

After Chaerin stated that, the call ended. I was left blinking into space as I pulled myself together. Ahahaha, they're kidding right? They must be. If they come here and see him they'll not let it go! They'll seriously think something's up between the two of us but he's the one initiating all of the moments we have together.

I snapped back to reality, slowly and robotically turning my neck in Sana'a direction with a grin of revenge on my face.

"You're dead meat." I said aloud, running after the girl who took off, pulling Sunoo along with her.

I kept up my pace as I ran behind her, of course, I'd just use this as a way for her to buy tteokbokki or ice cream for me as payment.

I had stopped in my tracks for a second to catch my breath, bending down holding my knees as I took deep breaths. As I got up, taking off with a speedy start I accidentally bumped into someone.

"Hey! Watch where you're goin—oh." I paused, looking up at him with widened eyes.

"You..", I breathed out heavily, looking up at him.
