"Still in class?"

"I'm hanging out with the boys tonight."

"If you're bored you can come over."

"We're at Wooyoung's."

"I'll be home before 12 though."

"Tell me if you need anything."

"Why are you not answering?"

"Call me later okay?"

My phone keep buzzing, and all of them are from Mingi. He always does this every time he's going out with his friends, he'll be sending me multiple messages and if i didn't answer he'll call me and ended up screaming when i answered.

I packed my stuff right away after finished my class, then i texted Mingi right away. He finished his class early today, which means we're not going home together and he's already having fun with his besties. I was about to put my phone back into my bag, but suddenly the thought of paying Seonghwa back just crossed my mind so i decided to text him first.

"Hey it's Hyerin, i finished all of my classes already, do you want me to pay you back today?"

It actually took me long enough to phrasing the right words. Now there goes my anxiety, i'm worried that i might annoyed him or he might think that i'm weird.

"Of course i want the payback~"

"My class will be finished in ten minutes, can you wait for a bit?"

It took him less than a minute to reply my text, which made me smiled at my phone unconsciously.

"Where should i wait for you?" I text him back immediately.

"Wait for me at the parking lot."

After receiving the message, i put my phone back into my bag then i walked to the parking lot right away.

"Choi Hyerin!" I was busy thinking about what should i talk about later with Seonghwa until i heard him calling my name. He's speeding up his steps towards me with the brightest smile, making me realize how pretty his smile is. I feel like the more time i spent with him, the more i fell into his charms.

"Hey! Why didn't you say anything?" He asked. I was too immersed in his beauty that i forgot to greet him back.

"Ah sorry, i was thinking about something else." I denied while scratching the back of neck, feeling awkward. He gave me a nod followed by his giggle.

"Let's go then, i'll lead you the way to my car." He stated, i hummed at him then followed him from behind.

We talked a lot during the ride, he asked about my interests and a lot of other things. I was so worried that i will be awkward with him, but i guess he's really good at making people feel comfortable around him which relieves me. We decided to get some snacks and also getting desserts afterwards.

Seonghwa and I arrived at a tteokbokki place that i usually visit, i came here every once in a month with Mingi, even though he really can't handle spicy foods.

"So let me repeat the order, a tteokbokki set and two strawberry smoothies." The waiter said.

"You forgot the milk- Ah no never mind." I stopped at my sentence. I usually get an extra milk for Mingi, but i totally forgot that i came here with Seonghwa.

"So the order is complete right?" The waiter asked, i nodded then she left our table.

"I thought that you're good at eating spicy foods, why'd you asked for milk?" He asked.

"Uh it's just because i usually came here with Mingi, and he really can't handle spicy food so he really needs the milk." I explained.

"What should we get after this? I kinda want some waffles." Seonghwa stated, changed the topic right away.

"We literally just ordered our tteokbokki and you're already thinking about our next meal huh?" I chuckled.

"Why not? We're going to discuss this later anyways." He replied, pretending to gave me  a serious look.

I couldn't believe that Seonghwa and I get close really quick, we laugh and even tease each other already. We were having our endless conversation until my phone buzz, and of course it's from Mingi.

"Hyerin~ are you home already?"

"I''m staying over with the boys tonight, are you fine with that?"

Knowing the fact that Mingi is not going to be home tonight making me frown unconsciously, i sighed then i text him back immediately. I'm a little disappointed because it's friday night and we usually hanging out together.

"What is it? You don't look happy." Seonghwa commented. I look up at him then gave him a smile.

"No it's okay." I replied.

"Seems like someone just got rejected." He stated.

"I didn't though." I denied while scrunching my nose.

"It seems like you did." The boy scoffed while ruffling my hair.

"How did you know?" I asked while crossing my arms.

"Your thoughts are just too loud." He chuckled.

"Is it? really?" I asked.

"Well it is to me. Anyway, I can be your second choice though, wanna spend you friday night with me?" He offered. I smiled widely at his suggestion, then i nodded at him vigorously.

We've been hitting the road for almost three hours now, we couldn't think of any places to visit so here we are having a long drive without any destination. And surprisingly, it's so much more fun than i imagined. We didn't share the same taste in music, but we learned about each other taste. I listened to his playlist, and so does he.

"Whoa did we went too far? We're so far from home now." He said, i nodded at his statement.

"Should we go back now?" I asked. He shook his head vigorously.

"You know what? there's a beach near here, it such a waste if we go back now. How about getting some snacks and staying up all night?" He suggested. I looked at him in awe, then i nodded enthusiastically.

"It sounds so fun, i've never done this before." I replied, he smiled at me then he pat my head softly. I read about the butterfly in your stomach thing, but never actually know how it feels, so this is what they've been talking about huh.

We stopped at a convenience store nearby, getting a lot snacks and some ready to eat meal. Well it's actually too much for the two of us, but we're getting it anyways. I'm in charge of heating up the meals and Seonghwa is in charge of judging everything that i'm doing.

"You shouldn't open the lid that much, it will lose the moist." He stated, i glared at him in annoyance.

"Yaaa you kept blaming me from the beginning, you should do it then." I whined. The boy laughed then he shake his head.

"Nope, it won't be fun if i do it. I'd rather sit here while teasing you." He chuckled. I sighed then rolled my eyes.
