"Mint Choco? Who on earth gets mint choco willingly?" 

"I do, and by the way, nobody likes cookie dough." I say licking the ice cream off of my spoon, "Everyone likes cookie dough, don't be in denial Ari." He says to me as we continue to walk side by side in the moonlight. I still don't know why I decided to climb out of my window and spend a night with Beomgyu. If you would have told me this six hours ago, I wouldn't have believed you. 

"So, you wanted to talk to me?" I say looking over at Beomgyu, his facial expression changes and now he's serious, clearly in thought about what he's going to say next. 

"I really didn't mean to hurt your feelings Ari. See, meeting new people is never easy for me, and you went from this stranger to apart of our friend group within seconds and," He sighs, "I guess it was all just too much for me."

"That still doesn't make up for all the things you've said to me." I stop in my tracks and look at him now, "I've never been jealous of my brother in my entire life. I'm proud of him that he found people around him that like the same things as him and he's doing what he loves, because he's happy. You saying that I'm jealous of him because I'm some loner who doesn't have any friends really hurt, because I thought we were friends." 

"And we are-"

"I'm not finished." I say taking a step closer, he gulps. "You don't know me, you don't know my brother, and you especially don't know my mother. Yes, she's been with a few people in her life. but as much as it hurts me to say it, Eric is the only person who's made such a huge impact on her life since my Dad left. So yeah, I might not like him, but I'll never go as far to say all these horrible things about her and how she sleeps around, because at the end of the day, she only wants a good guy, just like I do." 

"Ari-"

"I'm still not done. You seriously don't have the right to keep trying to make things awkward with me and Yeonjun. You just always have to say something to ruin my day so it ruins my time with him, I wouldn't do that to you, ever. NOW, I'm finished." I say taking my final breathe before sitting down on the bench beside us. 

We stay there just like that, me sitting looking straight up at him while he stands up deep in thought, letting the truth sink in. After a moment, he finally takes a deep breathe before sitting beside me. 

"I see you and your brother around school a lot. You two laugh and joke around and act as if its just you two in the world, I've never seen a bond like that between siblings before. The way you look at him, I know you'd never actually do anything to hurt him, and I know now you'd never be jealous of him, only proud." 

I look over at him now, but he still continues to look forward. "You turned out to be a great person Ari, and you must have gotten that from someone, that being your mother. She's sweet, and the way I described her earlier today was very low, even for me. And I'm sorry." 

"I-" 

"I'm not finished." He said smirking, I roll my eyes at him and look forward now. "We are friends, and friends shouldn't treat each other the way I've been treating you. I want Yeonjun to be happy, and I want you to be happy. So from now on, I'll back off, I swear." He says, "Now I'm finished."
