Hae-Jeongs' POV

It was nice to have Jungwon back in my life and I hope to be able to make-up for all the time our friendship missed.

"Why are you everywhere?" a guy said walking towards the counter where I was at
"You want a haircut? I will give it to you for free" I said clicking the scissors I was holding while he rolled his eyes in response
"I heard Jungwon is available, where is he?"
"If I tell you, what would you give me in return?"
"I'm not giving you anything in return"
"How about your number?" I winked at him trying to irritate him
"Your eyes are twitching, oh and no. Where is he?"
"Ugh, fine, follow me" I left the counter and led the way.

Yang Jungwons' Pov

"So where is Yuna?"
"she can't make it today" I replied
"Oh alright. We'll run it on our own together"
"Yeah together like it used to be back in the day"

Hae-jeong and I go way back, she was like the girl best friend I never asked for but needed. All of a sudden she disappeared from Seoul but I'm glad to have her back and hopefully rekindle the friendship we had.

"Jungwon, some random dude is asking for you at the counter" Hae-jeong called out
"Finally, you were of help" the 'random dude' replied Hae-jeong and walked towards me
"Are you bullying her?" I asked Heesung
"No, she's just weird. How was the vacation?"
"It was cool, why are you looking for me?"
"Relax dude, can't I just come to see my friend? oh and are you free after work?"
"A bit"
"Well I don't care, loosen your schedule, we need to hang out"
"You know, it's not always about you"

"sorry to interrupt but Jungwon, I need some help with the customers"
"Do it on your own, he's not the only staff" Heesung replied
"I'm coming" I said hitting Heesung " I'll think about it and text you my reply" I replied and walked over to help Hae-jeong.

"Is he your friend?" she asked as we worked on the drying machine
"more like an older brother"
"oh" 

I looked up from the machine to meet Hae-jeong fumbling with some rollers while her sweat  tinkled down from her forehead. 

"What?" her eyes met mine
"Oh, I just finished fixing the drying machine" 

I looked around and grabbed a napkin nearby
"take this, it's quite hot and you can do something else. I'll take over and fumble with the rollers"
"I'm not fumbling with it" she huffed, took the napkin and pouted away

I chuckled at how funny she behaved.

"Finally we're done" she said as I locked up the store

"So about Heesung" she said striking a conversation as we walked towards the bus stop
"Yeah what about him?"
"Do you have his number?"
"Do you like him?"
"God, no" I chuckled at her stern statement "I just need it for something"
"I'm actually on my way to meet him somewhere, wanna tag along? you can ask him for it there"
"I've tried, he thinks I'm a creep or weirdo who likes him"
"Well what other reason does he have to not think you like him"
"It could be a friendly relationship"
"Well, this friend is asking you for your number" I said handing out my phone to her
"Sure" she smiled and took my phone

"Will he be okay since you're bringing an extra person?"
"Of course, I doubt he has a choice. I'm typically his only friend"
"So he's lonely?"
"Something like that"

She burst out in laughter as we took a sit waiting for the bus
