Jisoo's phone rang and when she saw the caller ID, her heart jumped with joy. She picked up almost immediately, as to not make him wait, and pressed the phone to her ear. "Hello?"

"Hey, cutie," Ryan in a low, honeyed tone, making her stomach flutter. "Are you busy right now?"

Jisoo was biting her lip, holding back an unbearable smile. "No, I'm not. Why?"

"Good. Let's go out."

"Oh, okay. Did you have something in mind?"

"How about a trip down memory lane?"

She laughed lightly, "What do you mean?"

"Hold that thought. Could you just open your front door real quick?"

"Oh god, is he here already?" she thought to herself. She looked down at her clothes—at the oversized sweater she threw on over the school uniform's skirt she was already wearing—and knew there wasn't enough time to change. She groaned and ran down the stairs with her phone in hand.

She heard Ryan's chuckle over the phone before he said, "You don't need to run, Jisoo-yah. I'm not going anywhere." When she opened the door, he hung up the call and smiled softly at her. He looked at her baggy grey sweater and beige skirt. "You look really cute today," he complimented, making Jisoo blush instantly.

"Thank you," she replied shyly.

"Are you ready to go?" he asked and held out his hand for her to hold.

"No, wait, I don't have my wallet." She was about to run back into her house but Ryan caught her elbow.

"You don't need it. Come on."

"But-"

"It's okay, Jisoo. Let's go." He held her hand firmly in his now and tugged on it, signalling for her to leave with him.

"Okay... But I still need to put on shoes," she said and pulled him into the house by the hand. He obliged and let go of her hand to close the front door.

Jisoo picked out her white shoes and was debated on where to put them on since she was wearing a skirt. Ryan saw what her struggle and knelt on the ground in front of her. "Let me help you."

"Oh... Thank you. Again," she said.

He helped her slip one foot into a shoe and looked up at her with a small smile. "No problem," he replied and fixed her other foot into the other shoe. After tying her laces, he stood up and held her hand again. "Let's go."

They left the house, hand in hand, and Ryan lead her down the driveway.

"Where are we going?" Jisoo asked while trying not to think about the way he held her hand. A comforting warmth spreading from her palm up her arm to her chest and electrified the rest of her body.

"I thought we'd go to the arcade. You weren't here for the summer so I think it's time we went back."

There was an arcade that Ryan and Jisoo used to go to every summer since they met in ninth grade. Since Jisoo was on vacation this year, they couldn't go together. Ryan wanted to make up for the time they could've spent playing skee-ball and shooting games, which was why he was holding her hand tightly and pulling her down the driveway faster than she could follow.

But like the gentleman that he was, Ryan opened the passenger door for Jisoo and helped her inside, putting a hand on a part of the car to prevent her from bumping her head. Once he got into the driver's seat, they took off.
