I sit at my doorstep, putting on my high top converse to go to school. I'm leaving a bit early today, because Haerin is running late. 

I grab my bag to be on my way toward the bus stop alone...again.

I've been counting the days to when Park Yeji, Lee Haerin, and I hang out. Honestly, I don't remember being so excited for something. Besides going out with Sunoo to the cafe, of course.

We've agreed to go to the amusement park, go shopping, then have a sleepover at Yeji's house. 

She has a brother, but she told us he'd sleepover his friend's house to stay out of our way. I think her brother is a year or two older than Yeji and I.

Exiting the front door, I walk to school to come across Sunoo leaving the nearby cafe. "Sunoo! Kim Sunoo!" I wave down the blonde boy from across the street, earning stares from passers. 

I watch his as he notices me, sighs, then walks in my direction with his head down in embarrassment. 

A successful mission.

"Hi Lee Chae-eun.." He sheepishly mumbles. I place my arm around his shoulder and dragged him toward school with me. 

I told Sunoo about my night, with many interruptions from him. We burst into our calm classroom, making it much more lively than previously. 

Sunoo and I walk to our seat practically yelling toward each other in our conversation. We tend to get a bit...loud in the mornings. I mean can you blame us? Lots happens between lunch the previous day and the morning. 

Well we have each others socials and numbers of course, but it's just not the same that way.

As we sit down in our shared bench desk, Sunoo takes out his sketchbook and doodles randomly.

I take out my phone to check up on Haerin.

Heeseung? That's a bit random...

I proceed to open the message from Haerin

Haerinie: i just woke up omg.                                                                                     7:56 AM

"What are you laughing at, creep..." Sunoo remarks at me.

I simply put my hand up to his face, and continue texting Haerin.

Park Yeji: Chae-ahhhh!!!! Don't forget about tonight!!!! 😈😈😈           7:31 AM

Park Yeji: No, really. 4:15 pm. I will be outside your house 😉😉😉       7:34 AM

You: Why is everyone being so weird today...? 👀👀👀                                 8:19 AM

You: You and Haerin are absolute weirdos...😙😙                                                               8:20 AM

I then felt Sunoo's chin on my shoulder, "Yes..?" 

"Your friends are funny," He pouts, "I wish my friends were funny" He whines.

"Am I not funny?" I ask in fake offense.

Sunoo only shrugs, "Eh, sometimes."

I HAVE to tell Ni-Ki about this...

I snickered at my own thoughts, Sunoo tilts his head at me in questions to which I simply shook my head.

Lee Heeseung: Hey, do you want to get ice cream on Sunday?                    7:49 AM

Reply/Ignore

You: YESSSSS. I want mint choco. 😋😋😈😈                                                       8:24 AM

Read 8:25 AM

Now I just have to wait...

Typing...

After almost 5 minutes of Heeseung typing, I receive a reply.

Lee Heeseung: What the hell. Who in the world would eat such a thing. That flavor should be banned from existence. Whoever dares eat that ice cream shouldn't have an opinion on anything in life. This is the most outrageous, disgusting, revolting, disappointing, sickening thing I've seen or heard you say. I can't believe you'd eat such a thing. Whoever invented that flavor doesn't deserve happiness.Who in their right mind would eat MINT with CHOCOLATE?! LIKE- THAT'S DISGUSTING. TOOTHPASTE. AND CHOCOLATE.                         

8:31 AM

You: You done?                                                                                                                         8:31 AM

Lee Heeseung: Maybe.                                                                                                         8:32 AM

"I don't like him," I hear Sunoo say, with his entire head now resting on my shoulder, instead of just his chin.

"I don't think I do anymore either," I reply, sulking with Sunoo.

It truly hurts my heart as a mint choco lover.

"Class is starting! Settle down!" The class president, Kim Aerin, loudly announces.

Our teacher walks in, and Sunoo and I share a glance of dejection. 

I pull out my diary from my bag, and class begins.





A/N: While I was writing this chapter at first, I wrote Chae-eun completely wrong and almost as if she were one of my other characters. I went back and tried to match my writing style then as much as I could with a hint of my current writing style. Feel free to point out any mistakes. 

Edit: January 16, 2023 - IDK I FIND THIS SO FUNNY. LIKE MY WRITING IS A REFLECTION OF ME- i also didn't edit much from the original version of this chapter bc honestly...i love this chapter.

also, mint chocolate>>>>
