My thoughts abruptly stopped when I felt my whole body being shook. I slammed both of my hands on the table as I gaped at my friends. Sighing loudly as I close my eyes with frustration, I leaned against the wall behind me, crossing my arms.

Sana puts her coffee down after she took a sip before she crosses her arms as well. "Something happened today?"

Not something but someone.

Mingyu nudges me, raising his eyebrows. I shake my head, waving it off. This would be embarrassing. I don't talk about anyone, this will be a first. The only thing that I talk is everything except people, maybe some boxers once in a while or my mother.

"Oh c'mon, dude, you're the one who usually talks about anything, literally anything. It's weird that you're spaced out," Jaehyun remarked as everyone else nodded.

I hummed agreeing with them. If someone paid me a dollar every time I talked, I would've become a millionaire at this moment. But right now, nothing wants to come out of my mouth. I don't want to speak, I just want to think. I even thought about cancelling my plan to go out with my friends.

That Melona guy, he's so different and I'd like to get to know more about him. Honestly, bumping into him is the best thing that happened to me since I've moved here.

"Well—" I started off in a whisper, but soon got caught off by Mingyu.

He pointed a finger at me as if he knew the answer of my behaviour. "He just moved in, he doesn't like the place that his mother chose. Of course he's going to behave like a baby. That's what you told us two days ago, sick of it?"

"Actually it's not as bad as I thought it would be," I honestly spoke, mixing my drink with the straw. "It's just that I fell this morning in a puddle and some old woman laughed at me."

"Okay, who cares about falling, it's just some old woman. At least is not some girls that you might see at school!" Mingyu laughed, trying to lift up my moody inner feelings. "But what changed your mind about this place?"

Now the cat probably got my tongue. I can't make up stuff since I barely know this corner of Busan. Even though I went to the same high school as I change houses, I barely try to explore around it, plus it's so close to it.

I started rubbing my nape nervously and that's when I blurted everything out, "Okay, I met a b- girl. Yeah a girl. I was on a bicycle and I was so bored that my dumbass thought about going down the hill. The girl was in my way and I tried to tell her to move away but she was so slow to catch on it so I ended up in the puddle. It wasn't some old woman, it was her."

Everyone stayed silent and blinked at me. I felt my cheeks burning up. I groaned, kicking Mingyu's leg. He screams, but it was more like a howl. If it wasn't for that question, this would've been a secret.

"Seems like there's more to it," Sana smirked in an amusing way. Of course, she knows everything. She knows if I'm about to pop off, she knows if I'm going to cry because I'm a cry baby, she just knows as if she has a script of our lives.

But she'll never know that this girl is actually a boy. That I guarantee that for the moment. She'll be the first one I'll tell about him, cause these two crackheads would never understand, maybe Jaehyun will but Mingyu would never, he doesn't take anything seriously. Even though we knew each other for the longest.

"She invited me to her house and she gave me her brother's clothes," I spoke, fondling with the shirt that smelt nothing like me. I wished it smelled like him, not his brother. "I even owe her a Melona, the mango ice cream. So we even exchange numbers, sadly she didn't told me her name since she was so convinced that we'll not see each other after I give her ice cream."
