"The cereal literally popped out of his nose and some of my classmates were like 'ew' others were laughing while I was holding the bowl with milk under his nose so it won't spread any further in the room and make everything dirty."

Jieun was currently telling Jeongin about her Highschool time they both were laughing and had a great time.

"Your friend seems funny what's his name."

"Hmm."Jieun had to think for a second,she hasn't talked to her old friends in forever but she wouldn't manage to forget their names.

"Jun-Jung Jihoon.Yeah he was one of my closest friends and literally a giraffe.I tell you that guy is so tall.
I wonder if his younger brothers is that tall too now."

Jeongin nodded and they both continued to eat their ice cream.

"Can we sit there?"The girl pointed towards the benches that were in front of some shops.

"Yeah I need rest from carrying all these shopping bags."

Jieun chuckled cheekily as they made their way to the bench.Honestly Jeongin still didn't know how to feel about this all-Jieun was like a whole new person.The smile was never leaving her face and she got excited over every little thing.

If it was just a cute teddy bear or some candy or a little dog that was in the mall with their owner-Jieun was just genuinely happy.

Of course he has heard her laugh and see her smile often when they played games or made some jokes but it was as if she never forgot in what condition or position she was in back then.

Now she was free on the inside and outside.

Maybe this feeling won't last long for her,Jieun knew that but she decided to just live the moment.

Both friends sat on the bench eating their ice cream in silence when Jieun noticed some familiar figures,she furrowed her eyebrows and tried to get a better sight.

"Hey."

Jeongin pulled the girl out of her thoughts and she immediately turned her attention to him.

"I'll go to the public restroom,I'll be right back."

"Okay I already finished my ice cream then we can go and eat pancakes!"
Jieun joked and the boy laughed.

After he left Jieun looked around and hoped to see persons she saw before.
But sadly there wasn't anyone.

Jieun sighed as she laid back at bench closing her eyes listening to the sound of her surroundings,people walking by or muffled conversation.

They have been in the mall just for two hours,now it is 4 p.m and they still had a long journey ahead of them.

It felt good to be outside and do whatever you want but Jieun knew that it wouldn't always be like this.
In no time there will be another storm making her life a mess again.

But she hoped she can enjoy this lifestyle a little longer.
The girl had her eyes closed as she felt a presence beside her,she acted like she didn't notice it yet.

'It's not Jeongin,He would not shut up when he's in a good mood.'

Jieun felt something caressing her thigh.She opened her eyes and saw a hand,she quickly looked to her right to see a person she was happy to see,at least at the moment.

"Hey."The guy smirked slightly.

"Haechan."Jieun breathed out clearly overwhelmed.

"What-"

"Shh."The boy shushed her as he put a finger on her mouth.

"Let's talk."Before Jieun could say anything he pulled her with him outside the mall to a ice cream shop.
