18: Signed.

Youra couldn't help but smile from ear to ear as she led the way out of the restaurant Jeno invited her to. During the whole time spent together, the two got to know each other better and their conversations had no end. The small crush she began to have on the boy just got bigger, slightly scaring her too.

"Thanks for the food. It was really good."

"I'm glad you liked it." Jeno's lips curled up, making his eyes turn into the little crescents Youra found so adorable. "Is there anywhere you need to be right now?"

She frowned, thinking, but eventually shook her head no.

"Do you want to take a walk before we head back?"

Youra's eyes lit up at the idea, not wanting their little date - or whatever it was - to end just yet.

They walked side by side, slowly, chatting and enjoying the nice weather. The sky turned dark blue, meaning it was already getting late, but Youra loved its color. As they strolled along the streets, the girl's eyes would wander, admiring the simplicity of things that Jeno found amusing from the very start he met her.

"You really like nature and stuff, don't you?"

The girl's head turned abruptly to Jeno's question. "I guess I do. I just really like the way certain trees grow by a street, or how local stores fit a certain neighborhood just right." she smiled, suddenly looking up. "Or how the sky turns different colors, or turns completely black and stars get to be the center of attention."

Jeno, amused, glanced up too, eyeing the so said sky that was only getting darker within minutes. He looked back at Youra, completely focusing back on her. "How's your arm doing?"

She noticed him staring at her cast. "I actually have a check up tomorrow. I hope they'll be taking it off soon, it's getting annoying. I hate not being able to do things on my own, but thankfully Renjun has been really helpful."

The boy hummed, nodding. "You two seem really close. Do you know each other for long?"

"No, we actually met once I moved in."

"Really?" Jeno's eyes widened a little. "You seem like you've been friends for ages."

A soft chuckle escaped Youra's lips. "Yeah, we're a lot alike. We just clicked." she glanced at the boy with curious eyes. "What's it like having friends of so many years?" she asked, meaning Siwon and Youngseo.

Jeno let out a deep sigh while all their memories displayed in his mind. "It has its pros and cons." he shrugged, slightly unamused by the topic of the other two musketeers.

Youra cleared her throat, hesitating if to ask him about what's been on her mind, but the way they got closer recently made her more confident in knowing he wouldn't get mad at the question.

"Is everything okay between you guys? Earlier today you seemed - I don't know- kind of sick of them?"

She got Jeno's attention and he turned to see her slightly reddened cheeks while she avoided his eyes, almost as if she was nervous. He chuckled and sighed once again, looking around the streets they walked down together.
