"Don't stay out late again." Kunwoo glares at me while I wave at him goodbye before shutting the apartment door. Turning around I greet the neighbours with a simple 'hello' or 'good morning'. While taking the elevator to the ground floor, I plug my wired headphones into my phone and blast some Day6 songs as I make my way to the bus stop.

I'm currently 18 years old and I'm about to graduate from Apgujeong High School. I'm actually quite surprised I'm going to graduate with the grades I've been getting. They aren't all bad, it's just maths..

As soon as I make it to the bus stop, I look up to the poster with the arrival times on them, looking for 7.30am as that was the current time. The bus will be here in 10 minutes.

To pass that time by, I decided to quickly go to the café across the street to buy my school lunch. I didn't have any morivation to make my own lunch, so my mother and father gave me money on my card to buy myself some lunch.

As soon as I open the glass door of the cafe, I was hit by the strong smell of freshly baked pasteries like croissants, bread and pies. I was welcomed with a ring of the bell from the top of the door which also alerted the staff that a customer was here.

I make my way to the counter while looking at their display case which had some faux sandwhiches on show, meanwhile their pasteries were real. I was too busy looking at their mouth-watering treats that I didn't even notice a staff was already in front of me, waiting to take my order. I jump slightly as I apologize to them with an awkward smile which slowly dropped as soon as I saw their face.

It was the person Jihwa and Haewon went up to last night..

"What can I get you?" He smiles softly, him finally looking up from the register. His eyes also slightly widen as he looks at me. "Hey, weren't you at a BBQ place last night? With your friends?"
My face was definately red as I slowly nodded with a smile.

"About that," I start, "I'm really sorry about that. They just want me to get with someone and I'm honestly looking.. but there's just nobody at my school.."

"It's fine, my friends are also trying to set me up with people too." He smiles widely. Wow.. he's actually something. "So, is there anything you'd like today?"

"Could I get a croissant sandwich with a blueberry muffin for take out, please?" I smile as I then take my card out of my phone case, preparing to tap on the card reader while the staff taps some buttons on his register.

"6 dollars please." He says as he presses buttons on the white card reader, then passing it to me as I tap the screen of it with my card, it immediantly being accepted.

"This might sound really dumb, but do you wanna get together to shut our friends up?" I ask while pinching my own hand, to the point it slightly went numb.

"I was about to ask you that."
