I watch as Niki walks away to his car with guilt in my stomach. I walk back to the table to see a worried look in Seungmin's eyes and quickly reassure to him that it's okay.

"Hey, it's not your fault." I say.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean to get in the way." He says with a guilty tone.

"Seungmin, it's really okay you didn't get in the way." I say while patting his back.

He lets out a long sigh and looks up and freezes quickly.

I look around to see why he looks surprised until I see a taller boy with blonde hair covering some of his face, and a shorter girl with medium brown hair.

I then realize it's Hyunjin.

"Hyunjin?"

"Hyunjin!"

Me and Seungmin both say his name in different tones causing us to look at eachother.

"You know him?" I ask.

"Yes, this is my friend I was telling you about aswell as my other friend Nayeon." He says while getting up and embracing them in a group hug.

"Ohh." I say.

"How do you know him?" He asks.

"My brothers boyfriend." Hyunjin interrupts.

I stand there shocked.

"Oh, I uh actually we haven't really labeled anything." I say still in shock.

"I'm gonna go before I'm late, but it was nice meeting you." I say while smiling and the turning around.

I walk towards my car shivering at the strong wind blowing my hair all over my face.

I drive to school almost turning around and going back home a few times but I refrain and eventually end up at school.

I walk out feeling drained and sleepy until I feel an arm yank me almost pulling it out of my socket.

"Jeez, you trying to kill me Jake?!" I say, rubbing my arm in pain.

"Seriously Sunoo!" He says annoyed.

I look at him confused.

"You can't just meet other people at a date that you were supposed to be on with someone else, it's common sense." He says looking at me like an angry mother.

"How did you even-" I say getting halfway interrupted by an angry Yuna.

"What am I over hearing? Normally I would side with you since your my best friend and all but come on Sunoo." She says disappointed.

"Listen everyone," I say while raising my voice a little.

"I was meeting Niki there, and then Seungmin saw me and sat down by me, since he was just waiting for a friend and Niki saw us and assumed the worst of it." I say trying to get my point across.

"Ohhh." Jake says.

"Makes sense." Yuna says while shrugging her shoulders.

"Let's go find Niki!" Jake says while pulling me and Yuna with him.

"No!" I say quickly trying to stop him from pulling me.

He looks back at me confused.

"Why not?"

"I want to figure stuff out on my own" I say while looking down at the ground.

"Let him." Yuna says while glaring at Jake not to pull me to wherever Niki might be.
