Cafeteria as usual was chaos.

Everyone chatting, shouting, yelling, teasing and what not.

Hyejin, Jungkook and I were seated on our habitual spot.
Just as I was about to take my first bite, Hyejin slammed her fists on the table, seeking our attention.

"What was that for Hyejin-ah?" Jungkook asked.

"Okay so you both are coming at my place. 7 pm." Hyejin announced and continued devouring her food, satisfied.

It wasn't a bad plan to be honest. I mean, it was the last school day of the week and it's not like I had any other plans anyways. And it'll be fun, I guess.

"K, I'm down." I mumbled with food still in my mouth.

"I don't think I'll be able to make it though." Jungkook said, twiddling his thumbs.

"Psh, as if you ever make it." Hyejin said whilst rolling her eyes.

"And it's the weekend tomorrow! Join us tonight Koo?" she pleaded.

"Yeah! Atleast for me?" I said, doing an aegyo.

And I cringed after doing that.

"Ugh stop that!" Hyejin slapped my arm playfully as she made a disgusted face.

I pouted as they laughed.

"Now back to the topic. Kook-ah, why say no? I really wanna know what the problem is this time. You don't enjoy our company? Is it something like that? Or do you like, become an extremely introverted person when it comes to hanging out with us outside of school?" Hyejin asked as she stared into his soul.

His face saddened and he looked everywhere except our faces.

"Hyejin-ah, Noona..." he finally looked up and made eye contact.

"I-i really can't come. I h-have to go at grandma's." he continued.

I sighed as I knew that he was lying. I have known him since years. Plus he was a really bad liar. He'd sweat a lot, avoid eye contact, fidget with his fingers, the hem of his shirt, hair or whatever he'd find. And yeah, stuttering. But then again, I didn't want to force him to come with us. So I decided to you know, kinda change the topic.

"Oh. Then I guess we should post-pone the plan. In that way all three of us will be available, right? By the way, how's halmeoni, I really wanna-"

"I think he's lying." Hyejin interrupted.

"Are you perhaps hiding something from us? Koo, you know that you can tell us anything. Your secret's safe with us. Do you have a girlfriend or a boyfriend that you're going on a date with tonight?" Hyejin asked him.

"Wait wha-"

"Hah, I knew it! He's definitely dating. I mean he's pretty good-looking and really kind, like, who wouldn't want him amiright? Oh my god, my KooKoo has grown so much! Ahh I still can't believe this! I'd really love to meet this lucky person! adjdkkskjdk." She babbled.

"Calm your tits woman. No, I'm not dating anyone! What made you think that? So now I'm not even allowed to visit my grandma? Please y'all should trust me man. I promise I'll be there next time." Jungkook said.

"First of all, this has nothing to do with my tits, okay? And it's fine, we will meet up sometime later. I don't wanna force you. And wait, I gotta record you saying that you promise you'll be there next time. I ain't taking the risk, my man. I need evidence!" Hyejin said as she searched for her phone in her bag.

"Okay fine." Jungkook replied, putting his arms up in surrender.

"I, Jeon Jungkook, a great 17 years old independent man, hereby pledge to cancel whatever important missions I've been assigned to, may it be having a conference with my grandma or abducting apples from the supermarket, I will always attend the extremely prestigious parties with my friends. Thank you."
