STARBOY | 41

"Kai..." She whispered, far too shocked to say it loud enough for him to hear. What was he doing here? And why was he bothering her?

A huff fell from his parted lips and he shoved both hands in his jean pockets, rocking back and forth in the balls of his feet awkwardly.

"Are you here alone?" He asked, and Miso silently shook her head. She didn't want to speak to him — not after their last interaction. She had nothing to say to him.

Huening Kai nodded his head, licking his lips before sitting down on (Niki's) the empty seat beside her.

"Are you here alone?" She turned the question, taking a glimpse at him and watching as he copied her actions, though he had a smirk on his lips instead of a frown like she did.

"My friends and I are here with our broads." He explained, nodding his head over in the direction they were all sat in on top of one of their trucks, and Miso couldn't help but smile at the thought of her ex-best friend finally having a girl.

Despite everything, she still loved and cared for him. He was in her life for years, and so it wouldn't be possible for her to have no feelings towards him. He was once like a second brother.

"You've got a girl?" Miso wondered, a breathy chuckle escaping her mouth as her brows raised in surprise and a smile tugged at her lips and Kai nodded his head. "Wow... I'm happy for you, Kai."

"Thanks..." He smiled, a long sigh coming from him as the atmosphere soon turned awkward. Miso bit down on her bottom lip, wanting nothing more than to escape to awkwardness and she looked away from him and down at her lap. She really hoped Niki would hurry up.

"Listen," Kai began, sitting up properly. "I shouldn't be have reacted the way I did — it was a dick move — but you can't blame me,"

And just when Choi Miso thought the boy she was once best friends with was returning and looking to redeem their friendship, he quickly messed it up, and the girl quickly realized he was just like all the other Socs. Selfish and narcissistic.

"I just found out my best friend was hanging with the enemy." Kai explained, causing Miso to scoff and shake her head slightly in disappointment as she rolled her eyes and turned to look at him.

"Did you just come here to finish the argument you walked out on? Or what? Because if it is, I don't —"

She was cut short by Kai sitting up straight and shaking his head. "No, you're right, I'm sorry. I just came over here to tell you that I don't want to lose you as a friend."

As much as Choi Miso wanted for forgive Huening Kai, she knew she couldn't.

"You lost me when you walked out on me, Kai..." She sadly spoke, her voice soft and she couldn't help but feel her heart strings tug at the sight of his upset eyes.

Kai's lips formed a tight line and he slowly stood up, awkwardly running his hand through his hair. He didn't know what to do with himself.

"Move it, old man." The two heard Nishimura Niki scoff, nudging past the stuck up boy with his hands filled with their drinks and food and he quickly handed them to Miso before they could fall from his clutch.

"I ain't no old man, Grease." Kai snapped, his entire tone and demeanor changing, instantly making Miso roll her eyes. She felt stupid for thinking a little bit of him had changed...

"Sure look it." Niki urged, a smirk on his lips as he looked down at the Huening boy. Niki wanted this. He loved seeing the angered look in the older boys eyes.

"Just go, Kai." Miso told him, and Kai glanced between the couple before huffing and walking away from the two. Miso wasn't in the mood to witness a fight tonight.
