Jisoo Kim.

"Hey Jis, caramel or white chocolate?"

I'm playing with the tip of my Starbucks drink as Haein leans forward on his chair, holding up a chunk of the two sweet flavors; Seulgi observing us from the side with her eyebrows knitted together.

Narrowing my eyes on the two bars of chocolate, I nudge my chin to the caramel flavored one. "Caramel." I mumble, sighing for probably the nth time that day, my friends easily noticing it.

Seulgi leans forward and bops my nose, making me scrunch it up in reflex as she giggles at me. "What's gotten into you, Jisoo? Are you okay?"

Haein nods, and offers me a sympathetic look. "Yeah—" he drawls, licking his lips. "You've been like this since you called last week."

I sip my drink to distract myself from their questions and sigh. Unfortunately, I didn't tell Haein about what happened between me and Jennie; I tried to, but I ended up crying the entire time when I reached his house, and I was thankful enough he didn't push for it, I don't think I could have handled that.

"It's nothing, I'm just tired." I mumble out as a reply, scratching my messy raven hair as they look at each other then back at me, not believing a single word coming out of my mouth.

Haein sucks in his lips and frowns. "You can tell us anything, you know?" and when he says this, it makes me think that the 'us' he's saying actually means 'me', and he so desperately wants to know what's going on. Why wouldn't he be? He's my best friend.

I nod my head slowly and smile. "Yes I know, but there's really nothing going on with me right now." I lie, shrugging my shoulders up.

They drop the subject and I'm sulking deeper into my seat as I watch them interact with one another. It's a good thing Seulgi was here, because if she wasn't, Haein would be drilling me with questions—so in silence, I am very thankful for her. I'm just not ready to tell Haein about Jennie, or my dilemmas. He's just going to do everything in his power to help and sometimes, he overreacts in his own little ways. Plus, he's having problems with Jongin so it's best not to add more to his list.

"Glee club."

Blinking, I narrow my eyes on Seulgi.

Haein chuckles and shakes his head. "No thanks, Seulgi—as good as you guys sound, I'd love to join but—" he sighs, taking a gulp of his drink while chewing on the chocolate bar. Ew. "—I'm already having problems with my Captainship in the team, joining the Glee club will only piss Coach off and then I'm out, how will I protect you and Jis if that happens?" he reasons out, giving a pointed look to her as Seulgi whines.

"You're just a really good dancer." She tells him, throwing her hands in the air. "We need good dancers, most of us in the club are just singers that don't dance—plus a wheel-chaired man, that's a disadvantage."

I scrunch my nose up and blow a whistle. "Doesn't that mean it's an advantage? There's a handicap rule, isn't there?"

Seulgi laughs and smiles softly at me. "Unfortunately if you're in a singing choir, it's not a handicap."

Nodding our heads, Haein and I simultaneously take a swing of our drinks with Seulgi following ahead. We drop our cups at the same time on the table and sigh.

"Can you believe it's almost mid-term of the school year?" Haein bellows, smiling cheekily. "We're going to go to college in a few months."

I groan and shake my head at him. "No, please—I don't even want to think about college yet."
