-8:30 AM-

-At Ye-eun's house-

I crashed on to him and lost balance falling into his arms. He held back my arms so I won't fall.

"Are you okay?"

He asked in a very soft tone.

"Yeah- I'm fine"

I said tightening my pony which was loose at first. I slowly looked up to see that it was Jake. I immediately looked down since I started to blush. He was looking handsome as always.

"W-what are you doing here-"

I asked looking down. He was still holding on to my arms until I asked him this.

"I was waiting for you so we could go to school together"

He said awkwardly laughing and scratching the back of his nape.

"Well- thanks for waiting for me- and sorry that I'm late. Let's go"

I replied and started walking first. He followed my lead.

-3RD PERSON POV-

They start walking, one behind the other. Ye-eun took the lead. Jake followed her swiftly. Ye-eun felt someone's eye on her. She slowed down and turned her head back. At the exact same time, Jake who was staring at her turned sideways.

"Walk faster, we're gonna be late"

Jake nodded and started walking, still behind Ye-eun. He was still looking at Ye-eun who had no clue was being stared at. A small crinkle appeared on the corners of his lips.

It felt like a second and they were already infront of Sunghoon's house. Ye-eun knocked on the door gathering up her courage. She had always been afraid to interact with Sunghoon's parents who were business people.

They were cold to people most of the time, including to Sunghoon in order to raise the most disciplined child ever.

Ye-eun was staring at the sky rethinking her life decisions when she heard the door hinges squeak. It was Sunghoon's mom who opened the door.

"Oh my dear Ye-eun, it's been so long"

Sunghoon's mother Clara pulled in for a hug. Ye-eun hugged her back.

"It's so good to see you Mrs.Clara"

She hugged her back.

Clara : "Isn't it school time? What are you doing here you're gonna be late"
She asked in concern.

Ye-eun : "Mrs.Clara, we're actually waiting for Sunghoon"

Clara : "Who's 'we' "

Ye-eun : "Me and Jake. He's waiting outside"

Clara : "Oh Jake, I didn't see you there. Come on in both!"

Ye-eun signaled him to come in. He tiny ran up to the main door and greeted Mrs.Clara. She guided them to the living room couch as they just sat there awkwardly. She left those two and went into the kitchen.

"This feels awkward-"

Jake said as Ye-eun agreed with him. They were just staring at the wall when Sunghoon, wearing his school uniform walked down the stairs.

He, who was singing "Kampungi sungAaAaAaNn-" got startled as he saw Ye-eun and Jake and lost balance on the stairs holding the railing.

Ye-eun was the first one to notice him coming down and laughed her heart out at him. Jake joined Ye-eun in teasing him. Sunghoon ran down the stairs and squeezed himself in the little space between Ye-eun and Jake on the couch. Avidly. With his arms straight on his knees he asked.
