"Sooo, where should we go" the words left my mouth while loosing again my hands around Ilwoos shoulder.

"Ari's Café?"

A playful smirk was wandering around the corner of his full lips.

Again for real, this guy was driving me crazy.

I stared at him with a dry look.

Then rolling my eyes forgetting the fact that he loved to tease me.

"Alright."

I answered while giving him a small bump into his rips.

"Ouch, what was that for?"

His face laid in question, but his voice sounded knowingly.

While a small chuckle left his mouth, revealing his cute dumpling cheeks and the little flaw in his teeth, we kept going.

As we got to the exit the receptionist gave me a forced smile and a "Have a nice day Kim Haru Nim.".

Then she bowed.

After returning the polite movement to the woman dressed in a fitted suit, we exited the building, heading to my car.

"It's still the same, huh?"

The blond haired asked me curious.

"What do you mean?"

"Hyung, don't play dumb with me."

The eyeing from his side, forced myself to stare back.

"Okay, you got me. Most of the people I work with don't like me. And then? What's the big deal about it? I don't care."

Answering like that, I found myself being in a rap battle.

"You know, you're telling me that every time. But I see that it bothers you."

My smaller friend let out a tiny sigh, while saying this words.

I knew what he meant by them, but still...

"Sometimes you just can't decide which people will like you and which won't."

My thoughts got outspoken loud, by myself.

"There will always be people who will hate you. Because of your occupation, your nationality or even your gender identity.

You can't change that. Believe me I really tried to convince this sort of people that I'm not a bad person to have.

But they were just blended and blocked by their own first expression of me.

I couldn't reach them. They just built a wall between my words and themselves."

I sounded dejected and my head lowered itself, looking to the tarred surface.

"I see."

Ilwoo nodded, patting my back.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter what this stupid people think of me."

I tried to put my smile back on place and even managed it to stay.

The young man walked straight down the side walk, up to Haru's car.

When he got there, he eyed down at the vehicle with amusement.
