Soon after Sieun entered the room, her phone started ringing.

"Hello," Seungkwan greeted her.

"Hi," Sieun replied.

Seungkwan asked, "How were things at home?"

Sieun shared, "It's all good. My dad got emotional, but we are good now."

Seungkwan acknowledged, "That's good to know then."

Sieun inquired, "Why did you call?"

"I just missed you," Seungkwan admitted.

Sieun teased, "Seungkwan, don't be ridiculous." She chuckled softly.

Seungkwan insisted, "Really."

Sieun relented, "Okay then, what now?"

Seungkwan asked, "What are you doing?"

Sieun answered, "I'm laying in my bed. How about you?"

Seungkwan responded, "Laying in bed too."

Sieun suggested, "We should sleep now then. See you tomorrow!"

Seungkwan halted her, "Wait!"

Sieun asked, "Why?"

Seungkwan hesitated before asking, "Uhm... can we have an endearment?"

Sieun agreed, "Sure, why not?"

Seungkwan proposed, "Baby?"

Sieun chuckled, finding it cheesy. "That's so cheesy. How about I will call you Boo?"

Seungkwan pointed out, "Everyone calls me Boo. I want us to have a unique endearment."

Sieun encouraged him, "Okay then, keep on thinking."

They both began pondering about the endearment.

Seungkwan suddenly exclaimed, "Ah! How about... Love?"

Sieun considered for a moment. "Uhmm.. Sure... Love."

Seungkwan felt elated, wanting to shout with joy.

"Okay, love," he said with a flutter in his voice.

Sieun couldn't help but smile widely.

"Okay then, good night, love," she bid him goodnight.

Seungkwan reciprocated, "Sleep well, Love."

After their heartfelt conversation, both of them were left overjoyed.

Sieun was the first to enter the classroom, followed by Seungkwan.

As Seungkwan walked in, he couldn't contain his laughter. His focus was solely on Sieun.

"Hello, love!" Seungkwan greeted her with a playful smile.

Sieun shot him a warning glance using only her eyes, aware that everyone's attention was now on him.

Seungkwan tried to recover by adding, "Love on top!"

His playful remark elicited laughter from everyone in the room.

Jeongyeon, Vernon, Dino, and Nayeon also entered the classroom. They greeted Seungkwan warmly, hugging him. Seungkwan took a moment to apologize for causing concern and thanked them for looking out for him. They extended their gratitude to Sieun as well.

The class has begun. Eunhee was leaning back in her chair. Seungkwan approached her gently, but Eunhee quickly raised her hand to recite. Seungkwan tried to follow her hand, but he turned his head.

Except for Seungkwan and Sieun, who were still in the room, everyone else went to recess.

Seungkwan looked around, ensuring that no one was nearby, and then surprised Sieun by planting a kiss on her cheek.

Sieun blushed, exclaiming, "Hey! What are you up to?"

Seungkwan just chuckled in response.

Both of them couldn't contain their happiness.

Seungkwan asked, "Don't you want to eat?"

Sieun replied, "No, I'm not really a recess person, and I'm on a diet. When you gave me bread, it was the only time I ate during recess throughout my entire high school career."

Seungkwan raised an eyebrow playfully, "Are you sure?"

Their joy was palpable.

Seungkwan inquired further, "Where are you going to eat for lunch?"

Sieun offered, "Do you want to come with me?"

It was now lunchtime, and the two of them sat together at a nearby restaurant.

The waiter addressed Sieun, "Ms. Sung, as usual?"

Sieun confirmed, "Yes. Seungkwan?"

Seungkwan decided, "I'll have the same as yours."

Sieun instructed the waiter, "Two regular orders, baked, please."

The food arrived swiftly. Seungkwan glanced at the spread before them.
