"I feel like it's become a habit for you to sit out here." she spoke out in a groggy voice, finding the familiar event occurring again. The serene night silence took a turn as soon as the girl spoke out, making Jeno face upwards from his hands.

"Oh Ga-eun what are you doing here?" He followed every movement of hers from the point she shut their front door to sitting next to him while wrapping her blanket over the boy like last time.

Yawning, the girl shrugged her shoulders, shifting closer so they both can use the blanket properly. Suddenly the girl's eyes shot wide open snapping her head over to Jeno at high speed. "What happened to calling me Merida? You haven't been using it a lot recently" she nudged his shoulder making her part of the blanket fall off.

Smiling softly the boy pulled her closer by putting it back in place before leaving his arm around her shoulder. By the small action, Ga-eun tensed up as a flutter of butterflies danced in her stomach. Her chest tensed up, she lightly bit her bottom lip. 

"Merida is cute," he stated, staring up at the sky before averting back to her. "But it's not your name" he breathed out. Unknown to him he found himself entrancing towards the girl. His pupils fell around her features from the small mole on her nose to the small scar that was just above her left eyebrow. Knitting his brows Jeno narrowed his eyes observing it until he heard her speak.

"Well I'm glad you're calling me by my name now. I used to find it quite rude when you called me Merida you now" she placed on a frown. "Why is that?" he questioned not fully understanding as to why. "Because wasn't that your girlfriend's name? It's rude to call another girl by your ex's name you know" she narrowed her eyes.

Girlfriend? 

Immediately Jeno burst out into a fit of laughter remembering their first ever conversation in the forest when he first called her Merida. Chuckling he shook his head. "I told you back then itself. It's the name of a character from my sisters favourite movie"

"You expect me to believe that?" she cocked a brow not falling for it. "I have never heard of a mobie before-" all of a sudden she halted her words staring into blank space. Then out of nowhere a gasp left her lips and the girl turned around to face Jeno one again. "Is that something from your world?" Ga-eun leaned forward with an ecstatic look. Curiosity and wonder swimming in her eyes to eagerly learn about the place he comes from.

Smiling lightly Jeno tilted his head finding himself fall deep into her hollow orbs. "You want to know about Seoul?" upon seeing her vigorously nod he proceeded to grant her wish.

"That's absurd. How can you travel without a horse? It doesn't make sense" it was all bizarre to her. Everything he said was new and unusual. "What are they called again?"

"Cars, buses, trains. Anything that transports humans, items etc and is powered by energy is called a vehicle"

"Behical"
