~ 9:00; English class ~

I sit down in my seat and take out my English books from my bag. I had a very loud morning because Bae got her periods, and she was a mess early in the morning, crying loudly or laughing loudly or both. A few more students come in, and someone sits beside me. I swear to god, if Jungkook is beside me, I'll skip class.

I turn to my right to see Joe sitting beside me while taking out his supplies. A rush of relief runs into my nerves. "I know I'm handsome, but it is still rude to stare," He turns to my side, and I let out a soft laugh at his statement.

"Someone is full of himself early in the morning," I sarcastically comment and look straight with a smile, still thinking the thing he said earlier.

"Well, I am, and come on, don't deny the fact that I'm indeed very handsome," I turn to him, and he has a cocky smile on while he tilts his head to the right, making me giggle.

"Yeah, whatever," He sighs, giving up on making me convinced of his fact.

"You're so hard to convince," I nod, indicating that I am aware of this. "By the way, wanna go out to eat something? Like dinner?" He asks, leaving me to think. "Don't tell me your boyfriend will mind," He says, sounding agitated as he emphasizes the word boyfriend.

I frown, "Who said I am committed?" I ask.

"Aren't you with Jungkook?" He asks, and I roll my eyes sighing heavily.

"Did I agree?" I ask, and he gives me a dumb look. "Did I?"

"But you didn't disagree," I frown like I am taken back by his reason. "Okay, since your single," Now he presses upon the word single. "Would you like dinner? With me?"

"Oh, I see," I cooed, "Asking me out huh," I wiggle my eyebrows, teasing him as I nudge him. He turns red and looks away while feeling he is exposed.

"See, I just asked you, and I am not like other guys. I just want a friendly dinner," He starts to blabber in defense.

"Okay, I was just teasing, Jeez," I chuckle at his flustered face. "Sure, where?" His face lit up, and his smile widens.

"What do you wanna eat? Sushi? I know a perfect place for it," He sounds excited... too excited, but I don't like sushi. "What happened?" He asks after reading my facial expression of displeasure.

"I don't like... Sushi," I say, feeling bad because maybe he wanted them. "But we can still go," I immediately say after stating my dislike about sushi.

"It is fine. You tell what you wanna eat?" I shrug, and he sighs. "Please don't be like other girls," He whines, making me laugh at his comment. "Steak?"

"Woah, hold up, that shit is expensive," I say, and he chuckles at it. "I am serious."

"What do I look like? Homeless nincompoop?" He says, being taken back by my words. "I can afford, babe," I look at him with a facial expression of disbelief. He smiles shamelessly and puts his cheek on his palm to look at me with the same shamelessness.

"Wow, you are indeed full of yourself this morning," He laughs. Finally, the teacher enters the room taking everyone's attention. Joe and I sit up straight and don't disturb each other during the lecture.

~ 10:00; Hallway ~

"So? You coming?" Joe follows me out in the hallways.

"Sure," I agree, and he smiles while leaning on the locker next to mine. "By the way, don't you use the dormitory?" He shakes his head.

"My brother and I live here. One of my dad's company's branches resides here, plus I was accepted here, so my dad sent both of us here. My brother takes care of the company here while I study," I nod while taking his words in, rich kids. "Okay, be ready by 7. I'll pick you up," I give him an okay sign, and he ruffles my hair, earning a light slap on his arm. Both of us laugh and depart our ways to our respective classes.

~ 18:30; Dormitory ~

I wear a formal type of dress. It is a black dress with sleeves extending to my wrist with a V-neck that is not too deep, just perfect. "Oh, going out?" Chaeryoung enters the room and looks at me after asking. I nod, and she has a smirk on. "Who is it?"

"A guy from my English class, it is just a friendly dinner," I clarify it immediately and take my phone. As I am about to go out, Chaeryoung holds me, craving more information.

"Who is this friend? Namjoon and Jungkook are also in your English class. So is it one of them? Come on, tell," She whines while throwing all the questions she has. I roll my eyes, following it with a soft chuckle.

"The guy is Joe, and he asked for a friendly dinner," I push her away to step off while she gives me "the" look. I walk outside and wait for Joe. A car suddenly stops in front of me, and Joe comes out of it, sharp 7. "Aren't you too punctual?" He chuckles at my statement and bows dramatically. I walk to his car, and he opens the door for me. This time I bow dramatically before getting in. I feel my body feeling a rush of a sharp wave of chills before getting in the car.

"Let's go," Joe says, and I nod before looking out. I see a figure looking in our direction with his hands tucked in his pocket. I am staring back into his dark brown eyes. The intense stare breaks once the car takes off from the place.

~ 15:00; Hallway ~

All of my classes ended a while, and I am ready to hibernate. "Ray," Chaeryoung and Bae come to my either side. "Back to the dorm?" I nod as we three walk towards the dorm. "So, I heard you had a date yesterday," I look at Chaeryoung, who is avoiding eye contact.

"A friendly dinner," I correct Bae while looking at Chaeryoung.

"Yeah, the same thing, so how was it?" She asks again as she leans in.

"Well, it was normal. We went to the restaurant and ordered, talked, and joked. Well, Joe joked mostly. And nothing more," They look at me with a look of disbelief, adding a sigh of disappointment. "What? It was just a friendly dinner, not a date. Of course, nothing more could've happened."

They nod in sarcasm and walk into the room. "Wanna go out today with us?" Chaeryoung asks up as she sits on the bed, cuddling Bae, annoyed by that. "The boys and we are going for arcades and after that club?"

HARD PASS, I still remember the last clubbing night, and I regret it a lot. "Nah, just gonna hibernate," I push back my hair and stretch to loosen my hardened muscles. I feel the cracking of my bones and dizziness. I fall on the vacant bed, feeling very sleepy and lazy.

"Well, we'll be back late maybe," Chaeryoung says, and I nod, knowing that as it is nothing new for me. I climb up to my bed and fall asleep immediately.
