I already told Ryujin that i'll go to the cat cafe. 

 I went to the cafe and opened the door. I was welcomed by cats. They were so adorable! 

 "Hi, umm... Can i get an oreo frappe?" she said. "Okay ma'am one oreo frappe. Any thing else" the lady said. 

 "Hmm" she looked at the menu. 

 "Hi Jihee!" said a guy. "Oh Leeknow. What you doing here?" asked the lady. 

 "Can i perhaps drop the cats here? I can't watch on them cause you know. Lifeguard duties." the guy said making Lia look at the guy."Wait. Aren't you the guy from the other day?" asked Lia making the guy look at her. 

 "Umm.... Oh wait! You were that girl who almost drowned." said the guy while laughing."You're not funny" Lia said with a serious face. "I'm sorry i was just joking" he stopped laughing. 

"What do you want to drink?" asked Lia all of a sudden. 

"Huh?" the guy said.

"I wanted to treat you for saving me the other day" said Lia. "No, it's okay. I gotta go cause you know, work" the guy said. 

"Oh c'mon. No one's ever gotten in the pool except for me" Lia said making the guy sigh. 

"Fine. But only for today" he said making her nod.'cute' he said inside his head. 

"So what do you like?" she asked him once again. "Well, i'll take my favorite" he said to the lady."Okay, that will be 2 Oreo Frappe." the lady said.

"I see we have some similarities" Lia smiled at the guy. 

"My name's Lia" she took out her hand for a handshake. "Minho, but my friends call me Leeknow" they shake hands.

"Here are your orders" the lady said as we take our drinks and went to a table near the window.

"So, when did you start working here?" she asked. 

"Well i started the day that you drowned" he chuckled and continued. "Our friend was scolded and was forced to work here. I decided to help since i have nothing to do at home. the others also came" he said making Lia nod.

"So you work here now cause you're bored?" Lia laughed. "No, i wanted to help my friend" he answered making Lia nod.

"I heard there was a volleyball activity yesterday" he said. 

"Yeah there is. My friend won" she smiled remembering the event. "So my friend and your friend are opponents" he said making Lia confused.

"Your friend played too?" she asked curiously. "Yeah, he said the coach picked him"

"So your friend was the squirrel guy? My friend got picked by coach too" she laughed. "You can say that. So she was the one who winked at him" he said making Lia curious once again.

"I didn't knew she winked" she tried remembering. "Ohh, maybe that's why your friend froze" she giggled.

"Well i got to take a peek at the activities earlier. I saw that there will be a competition. I just forgot the date" he scratched his neck.

"Really? Well then we'll practice before it'll be announced." she said as she took a sip at her frappe.

"Is there something in my face?" she asked Leeknow since he's been staring at her.

"N-no, i just zoned out" he nervously laughed. Lia continued to sip on her frappe and looked outside the window.

"How many are you guys working here?" Lia asked.

"Who? My friends?" he said making Lia nod.

"Well 4 of us are working and 3 are still in college" he said making Lia shook.

"You have 7 friends. That's a lot" she said.

"Yeah, it's a lot. They're crackheads which makes it more harder for me" Lia laughed at his statement.

"Well, i kinda feel you. I have 4 friends that are crackheads too" both of the laugh.

As time passes by the both of them did not know that it's almost 4.

"My gosh, i didn't noticed the time. I gotta go, the girls are waiting for me, or should i say the crackheads" she said and chuckled.

"I had a great time. I gotta go too, i'm sure Chan hyung will scold me" he said and rolled his eyes.

"Bye. I hope to see you again" Lia smiled and went back to their hotel room.

"Guys i'm back" she said as she opened their door. Her eyes widened when all of them where infront and staring at her.

"What?" she asked them.

"You said you'll come home at 4, yet it's already 5" Ryujin stated.

"I was just talking to a friend. I haven't noticed the time" she said making them stare at her once again.

"All i know is that were your only friends" Yeji said. "Who was it unnie, tell us" Yuna said curiously.

"I'll telk you guys tomorrow, i'm tired" she said and walked towards her room.

"By the way, i already ate" she shouted for the girls to hear.

+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+----+

"Weird" Chaeryeong said. "I know right. She never went out with others since were her only friends" Yuna stated.

"When she goes out to hangout with someone, she goes back in time or even before time" Yeji said.

All the girls were curious who this friend is.
