"Take a bath first, I'll cook for our breakfast." Joshua said.

I just nodded and entered the bathroom, I can't forget what happened when we kissed last night, it's good that it's just a kiss, but it takes us longer! When I finished taking a bath, I immediately got dressed in what I was going to wear for school, now we're having a quiz but I was distracted for study last night.

You're distracted, but you like it.

No, I didn't like it.

But you kissed him back.

Yeah right I kissed him back.

Right, I kissed him back last night, I shook my head because of what I was thinking, I came out of the room and I saw Mom and Joshua talking.

"Shua." I called him.

He looked at me then nodded, he's going to take a bath, I know we'll be late for class today because we've been asleep for a long time, it's Joshua's fault. Suddenly he kissed me, I didn't even answer last night and then he kissed me right away, then when I spoke he cut me off what I was going to say because he kissed me again. When Joshua and I finished eating, I was in a hurry to finish so that I still had time to study, I really didn't want to fail because I knew our quiz items would be long later.

"I'm finished, I'm going to study right now." I said.

I got up and left the kitchen, I went to the bedroom and took my notebook from the study table and my bag. I left the room and went to the living room, I sat on the couch and studied, I knew our enumeration would be long and I needed to master something, I didn't want my score to be small it's too embarrassing. When I felt someone sitting next to me, I turned around, it was just Joshua.

"Is your quiz long?" He asks.

"Yes, it's too long, you distracted me last night, after all, our quiz is long now." I answered.

He chuckled, he stood up and headed to my room where his two bags are there, I know we will leave soon because he has already taken his bag. When I saw him come out of my room I got up, I put my notebook in the bag and brought it, I went to the kitchen to kiss Mom's cheek.

"Good bye, Mom." I said.

"Take care of you both!" She shouted.

We left my apartment and went to the elevator, I was just surprised to see the man I bumped into a few months ago, I'd better forget his name than I always say. I was just shocked when Joshua pulled my hand away, we were just going to use the stairs, and I knew he wanted to avoid the man. But I was thankful because the man in the elevator didn't see us, when we got off we headed to his car, I got in and took the seatbelt.

"Do you meet the man if there is a chance?" He asks.

"No, not any chance, and besides, I don't want to see him." I answered.

He just nodded, he started the car and drove away, we were just thankful because there was no traffic so we arrived at the school in just a few minutes.

"Naomi."

"Yes?"

"We'll eat together at lunch." He said.

"Yeah we'll eat together at lunch." I respond.

Once we entered, I looked at the time because I could still see students outside, when I saw it was only 7:30 I sighed in relief. Fortunately, there is no teacher yet, Joshua headed to his room and so am I, when I entered our classroom I went to my seated chair. I put the bag on my side, I remembered the first subject in the quiz so I took out my notebook, I studied even though I was a little distracted. When the teacher came in I put my notebook back in the bag, I was very nervous especially since I wasn't sure if I had memorized the other topics of our teacher.

When the quiz ended I sighed in relief, fortunately we were only given up to fifty items, and moreover our contest was also near so the teachers and the students were also busy. I don't have to rehearse because I already know that song, I sang it when I was in elementary school, if it wasn't for that the song I chose would be different. Fortunately, we will only sing one song, so it's too late for me to decide what to sing, I have confidence in myself that I can do it.

And Joshua didn't know that I was going to participate, because I had to surprise him, and I wanted Mom to come on the day of my contest. Mom wanted me to participate in the singing contest, because she said it would be a waste of my voice if I didn't participate in the contest, apart from singing, I also know how to dance. I just don’t want to get tired, I came out of our classroom and I saw the students confused, others were laughing, are they that happy when they are with their true friend?

I shook my head, I headed to the rooftop so I can give myself a piece of mind, I don't want to distract myself and I have to focus on what am I doing right now. I remember recess time today so I left the rooftop, I went down and went to the cafeteria, as usual I bought a burger.

I don't have anything else to buy, others I don't want to eat because it tastes weird, and my stomach is also sensitive so I'm annoyed why I'm like this, when I bought it I left the cafeteria and went back to the rooftop. When I got to the rooftop I saw Joshua, I walked towards him and sat next to him, I saw he was eating something so I just ate the burger.

I bought two more..

"Naomi."

"Yes?"

"Are you going to the singing contest?" He asks.

Of course! I am one of the contestants!

"Y-yeah, of course I'll come to the contest, it was a big event." I answered.

I wanted to tell him, but I didn't want to because there were no surprises.

"Seungkwan will be the host of the contest, he is very good at hosting when it comes to like this." He said.

I nodded, I'm looking forward to that, it's obvious that Seungkwan is good at such things, he's good at entertaining.

"Look at me my angel." He said

I looked at him and I was shocked again when he kissed me, well I didn't eat anything, it was just a smack because he had already turned his face away from me.

"Sorry for distracting you last night." He said and winked at me.

What's the meaning of that wink?!
