Third person.

It's been over a week. Neither of them was used to coming to school no yelling at each other at her locker first thing in the morning. No random text messages or memes. No petty comebacks or arguments. No pranks and witty jokes. The list goes on because apparently, the two are still ignoring each other.

It's surprising how they were able to keep it going when in truth, Ni-ki was going feral with not having Yunmi by his side, getting caught staring at her multiple times. It infuriates him, even more, when it seems that the girl doesn't care at all (when in reality, Yunmi's been attempting to call him or send a photo of a dog to check if he's aware that she's still alive).

"Excuse me? Yunmi, right?" A tap on her shoulder caused Yunmi to turn around, slightly stunned as she recognized him immediately.

"You drop this." It was Kim Sunoo, and in his hand was her small notebook that she didn't realize she dropped.

"Oh, thank you, Sunoo-ssi." Yunmi muttered, taking it politely as he was older than her.

"No problem." Sunoo smiled brightly. Yunmi waited if he had something else to say before she goes, and he does.

"I'm holding a party this weekend, almost half of the school is invited. And, I was wondering if you'd wanna come." Sunoo said unexpectedly.

"Eh? Party?" Yunmi was baffled, a confused look written on her face. She wasn't close with Sunoo, more definitely not a friend of his.

"Yep! I'm inviting you." He nodded his head casually.

"What's it for?" Yunmi asked.

"Ah, it's my birthday the day before that. Not everyone in school will be there, just those who I'm familiar with." Sunoo answered, a giggle coming out of his mouth.

"Ah! Really? I'm not sure if I can go... I've never gone to a party all by myself." Yunmi laughed embarrassed. She didn't know if she wanted to come or not, considering that what she said was true. But it wouldn't be nice if she declined, it's his birthday after all.

"Don't worry... Riki will be there as well." Sunoo said. There was a hint in his voice as he said Ni-ki's name, arching his eyebrows and giving her a knowing look.

"Oh, really." Of course, he will. They're best friends.

"I'll see if I can, Sunoo-ssi. Thanks for inviting me." Yunmi said and Sunoo beamed with a smile.

"Great!" Sunoo sprinted away, leaving Yunmi there dumbfounded.

"I'm going to a party..." Yunmi mumbled to herself. It was hard to believe at the moment.

Sunoo went back to his friends, taking a short glance at Ni-ki who was spacing out. A grin formed on his lips.

"Who else is going to your party, Sunoo?"

"Aside from you guys, I've invited some from my class, and others too." Sunoo replied, his voice lacing with excitement.

"I invited Choi Yunmi as well." Sunoo stated, causing Ni-ki's head to perk up at his hyung.

"You what?" Ni-ki's voice cracked, a chuckle coming from Sunoo before he nodded.

"Yes! I came across her a while ago. I think she might come, Ni-ki." Sunoo said, poking the younger's arm teasingly.

"Hyung, Yunmi doesn't like parties. What is gonna do there? She hates crowds." Ni-ki stated, knowing the girl very well.

"I know she doesn't, she mentioned it. But, I just think this could be an opportunity for you." Sunoo smirked which made Ni-ki sigh deeply.
