Su-Hyeok listened to the silence before clearing his throat at the moment. "So um what did you want to tell me? I'm kind of going to play basketball with some friends after lunch." He spoke.

On-Jo listened before glancing around as she reached into her pocket and soon placed something in his hand. That something being her extra name tag.

"This.. this means you want to go out."

On-Jo nodded quietly as she waited for an answer.

"Aren't you and Cheong-San dating?"

"We're not."

"Really?"

"We're really not." She insisted before glancing at him.

"I thought-.."

"We grew up next door neighbors. He's my childhood friend."

Hyun-Jae was quietly listening from behind the wall even though she knew it was wrong but her curiosity got the best of her. Peaking her head out a bit to get a better view of the situation.

Su-Hyeok spotted her almost instantly as he made sure she knew that he had seen her before glancing back at On-Jo. Deciding to tease Hyun-Jae about it later. "Sorry but.. I don't feel the same way." He spoke.

Hyun-Jae listened as she hid behind the wall quickly after seeing that he had made eye contact with her. She knew he wouldn't let it slide. Walking away quickly but quietly and heading to the classroom just as Cheong-San had left to go check on things.

On-Jo listened to him as she was jealous. "Can I ask why?"

"I like someone else." Su-Hyeok replied with no hesitation.

Cheong-San had arrived as he glanced at On-Jo. "Are you okay? I-Sak said that you were hurt."

"I'm fine."

"Let me see."

"I said I'm fine." On-Jo spoke as she walked past him and heading to class.

Su-Hyeok watched the whole thing as be glanced at Cheong-San. "Are you two dating?" He asked.

Cheong-San listened as he grew quiet and serious. "Yes. We are." He spoke.

Su-Hyeok listened as he believed him.

Cheong-San glanced at him before the edges of his lips twitched and a smile formed on his face. "Is that what you wanted me to say? No. We aren't dating. Why? Why do you ask?" He asked curiously.

"Nothing. No reason." He asked as he walked away and headed to class. Even with Cheong-San following after him and asking him why.

Hyun-Jae had been doing her best to avoid Su-Hyeok so far as she glanced around the corner quietly. Unaware that he had already found her.

Standing behind her at the moment as he looked amused. "What are you doing?" He asked.

The girl jumped hearing him as she turned to face him. Composing herseld as she cleared her throat. "N-nothing." She spoke at the moment.

"Oh really? I keep catching you staring through the corners." He teased her at the moment. "Avoiding someone?"

"N-no. You're speaking nonsense. I was just on my way to lunch." She replied before moving back.

"Great. I'm starving. Let's walk down together." He held her hand and walked with her.

"You're holding my hand weirdo."

"You and I both like it and we both know."

"If only you paid this much attention in class."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Nothing." She squeaked.

"You meant it." Su-Hyeok spoke. "By the way.. did you hear me and On-Jo? The whole confession?"

"I did."

"What did you think?" He asked as he continued to walk to the cafeteria.

"I think that it is up to you if you want to go out with her. If you do then you should."

"I don't want to." He stopped her before digging around as he found what he needed before. Pulling out his spare name tag and placing it in her hand.

"You want to..?"

"Yes. I want to go out with you."

Hyun-Jae was in shock for a moment as she didn't know what to say. Being left speechless with his confession as she held his name tag before glancing around into her skirt pockets and handing him hers. "I would like to go out with you too."

Closing his hand for him that had her name tag. Making sure he separated it from keeping it with On-Jo's. "Keep it with you at all times and don't lose it. Promise?"

"I promise." Su-Hyeok spoke as he grinned at the moment. Feeling happy and pleased with his outcome as he would definitely return the name tag to On-Jo when lunch was over.

Hyun-Jae had a small smile as they continued to walk into the cafeteria. Waiting in line for their lunch before going back to their normal table in the meantime to wait fot the others.

Eating her food as she hummed in delight before seeing the others joining them as she waved eagerly. With the others joining them, excluding On-Jo and I-Sak, Hyun-Jae chatted and teased the others.

"You two are always here first." Gyeong-Su complained. "Where are you going this time?" He asked.

"Well.. I do want to practice my archery." Hyun-Jae spoke. "I saw this new trick I wanted to try."

"You and that mind." Gyeong-Su spoke. "I'll never understand it." He teased.

"And you never will." Hyun-Jae teased back.

"I just want to go play with the other guys a bit of basketball." Su-Hyeok spoke up. Going back to his food as he was happy. Finishing his meal as he grinned. "You owe me Jae."

"I don't owe you anything because I finished eating first before you even finished. So hand it over." She smiled. Holding her hand out.

Su-Hyeok pouted before pulling out his wallet and making sure at the moment that he paid her. Putting his wallet away.

"Thank you. Let's do a bet some time later."

"No way. You always win." Su-Hyeok spoke.

"Or your just afraid you'll lose again. Like always." Hyun-Jae teased before placing a hand under his chin and pecking his cheek. "Good luck with basketball." She spoke. "See you guys later."

Cheong-San and Gyeong-Su watched her leave before turning to him. "Are you two-??" The two of them asked at the same time.

"E-eat your food before I do." Su-Hyeok spoke as his friends teased him.

On-Jo watched the whole interaction as she had set down her utensils before crossing her arms. Being a bit jealous of the whole interaction.
