Under the bright sun but little by little clouds help them hiding the sun, Seokhoon walked side by side with his pretend girlfriend, Rona. He was amazed at himself who could walk in the middle of the crowd. Well, it's not really full of people, in fact it's just a bunch of few people. But then for him this amount of strangers around him was too much.

"What is your favorite food?" asked Rona suddenly.

"Wagyu A5 steak." Seokhoon replied briefly, to which Rona responded with a confused face.

"What kind of food is that?" Rona narrowed her eyes at Seokhoon.

"Steak." Seokhoon corrected himself.

"Oh, Steak." Rona nodded in understanding.

"With the best quality meat." Seokhoon explained it further.

"What is the difference? Steak is a steak." Rona's comments showed her bewilderment. Seokhoon could only smile at her reaction.

"It must be very expensive." Guessed Rona and Seokhoon just nodded.

They then walked again in silence just for a moment.

"There's no other? For example a food that is more common or familiar like everybody knows and eats it?" asked Rona again. They still walked side by side with a short distance between them but without holding hands.

"All kinds of pasta." Seokhoon answered after thinking about a 'common' meal.

Rona looked a little annoyed by Seokhoon's answer.

“Although I like pasta too. Are your favorite foods only western food? There isn't any traditional food that you like?" Rona then moved ahead of him, facing him while walking backwards.

"We need to eat pasta together one day. But for your question, I don't think I have traditional food as my favourite food." Seokhoon shook his head. Actually, he doesn't dislike traditional Korean food, but he just rarely eats it so he doesn't really know the taste. At school and at home, the foods served to him were always western foods.

"Such a prince." Rona teased Seokhoon.

"I don't know whether to be happy or upset to be called a prince. But thank you." Seokhoon teased Rona back.

"Whatever." Rona replied briefly with an annoyed smile looking at him. Rona went back to walking beside Seokhoon.

They walked in silence again. Seokhoon stared at the girl walking beside him, Rona's long hair swaying from time to time because of the wind. He smiled seeing it. The compliment he said before that Rona was beautiful on the first day of school was an honest and sincere compliment from him.

"Hopefully my exam results today will be good. Because I didn't take the exam yesterday, I'm hoping for the best for today's exam scores." Rona said while playing with the end of her backpack belt.

"Don't worry, you're smart." Seokhoon's only response.

Rona sighed "Hopefully there is no cheating in giving my scores."

Seokhoon watched Rona silently. He knew how all kinds of cheating was aimed at Rona. He also hopes that there are no such things. Because once Rona is given a low score then she will be expelled.

"Our school isn't that low." Seokhoon could only hope.

Rona chuckled at that. Rona might think that Seokhoon doesn't know anything about those cheating moves that the school has done to Rona, but Seokhoon knows it. And worse, even though he knew, he did nothing and never even comforted Rona. Perhaps it is time for him to start doing the right thing if he really thinks the girl walking beside him is a special person to him.
