Part 9

"Th-thank you..." she slipped into the jacket.

"I expect it back." He laughed.

"Yeah I know, I'll give it to you tomorrow at the shop."

"Sounds good."

"Jang-Mi!!" The two looked at the door and saw Mi Na and Ji Hee. "Oh..." Jang-Mi's eyes widened. "Are we interrupting something?"

"N-no..." Jang-Mi chuckled nervously. "He was just leaving..."

"Yeah." He made awkward eye contact with Ji Hee before leaving.

"That was awkward." Ji Hee chuckled. "Mia you like him don't you?"

"What n-no!" The innocent girl blushed madly.

"Suuuure." Mi Na rolled her eyes. "Just be careful."

"Hm?" Jang-Mi popped cutely.

"Jaebum is a good guy, but he hangs out with the devil." Ji Hee giggled.

"Jae Eun?"

"She threatened you already?" Mi Na patted her on the head, comforting her.

"Yeah, I've talked to Jaebum before, but only when serving him coffee. She told me that he's hers and that I should back off."

"Ah, do as she says." Ji Hee had a glimpse of fear in her eyes.

"Why?"

"She's done things to people. She'll do anything to get Jaebum."

"Oh..."

"Yeah, we're hear for you though, so don't be scared." Mi Na patted the girl's back.

"Haha thank you~"

"Let's watch a movie!" Ji Hee smiled.

"Ok!"

~at Jaebum's house (1 hour later)~

"Why did you go over there?" Jae Eun chewed on some chocolate.

"Because I wanted to talk."

"Jaebum Oppa, you're an idiot."

"Hey, bite your tongue."

"Listen, people make friends with people they can relate to. Hang-Lee is friends with Ji Hee. She'll end up like her."

"First of all, it's Jang-Mi. You're logic makes no sense. Mia is a different person and she makes me feel different than I was when I was with Ji Hee."

"Stop calling her Mia, Oppa."

"The day is stop calling her that is the day you stop calling me Oppa."

"You can be a real jerk."

"Takes one to know one."

"Listen Oppa, we have been together for years! I've know how the girls will turn out to be. Hang-Lee is one of those girls."

"You say that about every girl."

"You just attract those kinds of girls, except me Oppa!" Jaebum knew what she was getting at. He knew Jae Eun liked him, but he could never share the same feelings. It was as if she were his annoying little sister, he couldn't.

"Jae Eun..." he sighed, then suddenly his phone buzzed.

Mia: Jaebutt! How are you?

Jaebum: Jaebutt?

Mia: it's your nickname, duh.

Jaebum: That's a dumb nickname.

Mia: It fits you perfectly then.

Jaebum: Anyway... I'm good. What about you?

Mia: I'm fine, Ji Hee and Mi Na fell asleep while we were watching a movie.

"Who's that?" Jae Eun looked over Jaebum's shoulder. "Really?" She scoffed. "You're older than her and she's calling you Jaebutt?"

"Age is just a number."

Jaebum: Haha

Mia: I'm sorry about making you leave earlier. I felt really flustered and the tension in the room was unbearable.

Jaebum: I don't blame you. I'm glad you did so, I felt uncomfortable with Ji Hee there.

Mia: Why? Ji Hee seems to be really fond of you.

Jaebum: She and I used to date and it didn't end well.

Mia: Ah really? That's awkward. I'm breaking girl code.

Jaebum: How?

There was no response.

"She likes you." Jae Eun groaned.

"You think?"

"Y'know, I'm leaving. I don't like her and I don't want to be her if she's all we're going to talk about."

"Well ok, bye."

"You could chase after me y'know?"

"Nah."

"You're cold."

"Like ice." She left, clearly upset.

Mia: It's nothing, are we still up for tomorrow?

Jaebum: Why not after Ji Hee and Mi Na leave?

Mia: Haha, it'll be dark by then.

Jaebum: it's ok, I'll be with you.

Mia: Yeah... ok! Let's do it.

Jaebum: I'll meet you at the entrance to the girls dorm.

Mia: Ok!

Jaebum smiled and grabbed his wallet and read for a bit.
