"Did you have a great night, unnie?" Lisa asked during their ride.

"What did you and Joy unnie ate?" She added.

"Oh, Joy didn't make it. They ditched us. It was only me and Jackson." Irene answered, her embrace tightening on Lisa's body.

"Jackson? That's the name of your principal?" Lisa asked.

"So you got a date last night." Lisa concluded.

Irene pinched her stomach, making Lisa Irene Huy, though. Lisa slowed down so she can hear Irene's answer.

"You like him?" Lisa asked.

"No." Irene said lowly.

"I can sense a lie." Lisa chuckled.

"Lisa, I just met him again yesterday. It's too early to say that. Besides, I don't even know if he likes me back." Irene explained softly.

"He likes you back? So that only means you like him first!" Lisa laughed. Irene rested her head on Lisa's back.

"You're the first one I told you about this. Don't tease me." Irene said, embarrassed.

"Go for him. I think he likes you back, he asked you for a coffee, alone." Lisa advised.

"Even if we had a chance, I don't know how to handle that kind of relationship. I'll be a laughing stock. He's a widow, I'm sure he wants someone who is experienced when it comes to handling a relationship. He won't have time to deal with someone like me because he is a busy man." Irene explained.

"Seems that you got it serious." Lisa started to laugh again.

"What did I told you, huh? Don't tease me." Irene faked a cry.

"Okay, fine. I won't tease you anymore." Lisa said, still laughing.

"Lili, pick me up this afternoon. Okay? Let's go home together." Irene said when she realised that they were near the school.

"No coffee date today?"

"Argh! Lisa!" Irene was a blushing mess. Lisa only answered her with a soft laughter.







"Here we are. Good luck today on your job, unnie!" Lisa said cheerfully. They have reached the parking lot. Irene removed her helmet and handed it to Lisa.

"You too, Lisa. Drive safe. Here's your packed lunch." Irene said, smiling. Lisa gladly took it from her.

"Thank you for the food." Lisa grinned. Irene thought, she's really cute.

Lisa started the engine, and Irene had already turned her heels when Irene spoke again after facing Lisa.

"Uhm. Lili, do you want to have a sleepover again this Friday night?" Irene shyly asked, their kiss at the river flashing in her memory.

"Camping?" Lisa asked to clarify.

"No, to my room. Yeri won't be home that day." Irene added. She didn't know what she was trying to imply.

Lisa took a pause before breathing heavily. It's not only Irene who remembered that kiss.

"Do you want me to bring some beer?" Lisa asked carefully.

"No, no, uhm. Let's not drink." Irene said with an awkward laugh.

"Okay, unnie. It's not a problem. After I fetch you on Friday night, we'll go straight to your house." Lisa said. Irene sighed in relief.

"That's a plan then." Irene nodded.

"I'll go now." Lisa said, and she started to drive.
