"Why did you have to quit?" Namgoong Ji Soo, Ah Ram's junior at the fitness center told me as he packed his bags.

Earlier this day, Ah Ram had asked me to fetch him since he decided to join us on our trip to Byung Hoon's grandparents. Thankfully, I wasn't busy packing because I have already packed my things last night.

"I got bored of it," I replied casually.

"Hey," he whined. "Did you know how boring it became ever since you left?"

It's been 2 years since I quit and stopped coming to the fitness center to train. To be honest I did only join to learn basic self-defense, as for improving I don't plan on doing so.

"You've got Ah Ram." I pointed out, proceeded with a question. "Do you still like her?"

"Let's go, Ah Ram's waiting outside." He didn't answer my question but instead zipped his bag. His crush for her was very obvious but it was still a mystery as to how Ah Ram never noticed it. Maybe she has but chose to ignore it or maybe she really was oblivious considering she only cared when it comes to food. He pretty much lost to food.

I just stared at him my eyes furrowed, my mind in deep thought when we were walking, and didn't even notice I was heading towards the stares. Yep, I stumbled down the stairs.

"Noona!" Ji Soo rushed down to check up on me.

"I'm fine," I held my foot when I stood up. "It's just a sprain. It'll be fine." I tried to assure him when he looked at me with worry.

"Are you sure?" He asked all ready putting out his hand for help.

"As you said Ah Ram's waiting." I put my arm around him for support as we headed out.

"Why don't we just go?" We heard Kyung Woo ask, we indeed were the last ones to show up. "If she comes, that's less for us to eat."

"I'll reduce the number of mouths if you want." Ah Ram slammed her bag at Kyung Woo who just looked at her. I looked at my surroundings searching for Ja Rim to give her the thing that she asked me to buy.

"Hyung." Ji Soo suddenly called out. "Hello."

I saw her just standing a distance from us and I ran, no limped towards her.

"Ja Rim," I called her, she turned and faced me.

"Oh, you're here." She smiled, "Were you able to buy one?"

"Yep," I replied as I take out the body moisturizer, although it confused me with what she would do for it, I remained silent. She usually doesn't use this kind of thing.

"Ji Soo is here too?" She asked looking at our friends who have circled themselves.

"Yeah, I guess he wants to spend more time with Ah Ram." I turned to face her, "But what are you doing here?"

"Joo Young went to the restroom but he's taking so long." With a nod, we made a silent agreement to wait for him together but a couple of minutes had passed already and he hadn't yet opened the door of the men's restroom.

"Alright, I'm tired of waiting," I said and called Kyung Woo over. I never was usually the type of person who had the patience to wait.
