The duo stood there in confusion as two college students bickered and started a fight over who should take the last chocolate chip cookie. The female college student was the first to enter the store, about to tell Iyana her order for the chocolate chip cookie when the male student came in. The female college student's short temper initiated the fight, but the male student had almost as short a temper, causing a feud in the middle of the bakery.
The Kato girl had no clue how to stop the feud. There was only one cookie left, and at first, she had planned to eat it, but she had to change her plans.
As the two college students continued to bicker, Haechan went behind the counter and grabbed the chocolate chip cookie that started the whole argument in the bakery. He placed the cookie in his mouth and walked toward the kitchen, leaving the two college students speechless. Iyana mentally face-palmed, realizing she should have seen this coming from the mischievous Haechan. The two college students stopped their fight and left immediately, as the cookie they were fighting for was eaten in a heartbeat.
The Lee boy had already exited the bakery and was waiting in his car for Iyana to close the bakery. After a few minutes, she swung open the main entrance door and locked it. Her final step was flipping the sign hanging on the front door to "Closed." She made her way to the passenger seat, where Haechan was playing mobile games in the driver's seat. Once Iyana pulled the seatbelt across her body, he started the engine.
Iyana hesitantly rolled down the car's window, inhaling a huge amount of fresh air. She looked at the starry night, accompanied by car lights and city lights as they drove on the expressway.
She observed the night, sticking her head slightly out of the seat, smiling at the beauty. Haechan kept his eyes on the road (as he should), but he took a quick peek at the Kato girl, smiling widely. Naturally, he smiled back at her smile.
He shook his head in realization. They both grew up with each other ever since they were young, but acted like strangers, knowing so little about each other. He sighed at the thought. Iyana didn't hear the sound that escaped from his mouth and continued enjoying the nightly breeze.
He stopped the car once they arrived in front of the Kato household. Iyana slipped out a quick thank you and goodbye before exiting his car. His eyes followed her as she made her way into the house. Once he confirmed she had entered safely, seeing her older sister closing the front door, he drove off, alone in his car. Deep in his thoughts, he wondered about her and his perception of her, especially what had happened earlier that day at the bakery.

The Kato girl settled herself in bed, scrolling through her phone and checking her unread messages. She gasped in realization that she had forgotten to join her friends for the karaoke night they had planned earlier that day.

"Iyana, on Friday, I needed you the most!" her best friend exclaimed in a disappointed tone as they made their way toward the high school entrance.
"Chaeyeon, calm down. I didn't come for one day of your beautiful karaoke session," Iyana replied sarcastically, giving a quick smile to the gym teacher by the entrance, who had a ruler in one of his hands.
"I'm still mad at you for not coming. Even Sunwoo didn't show up, so I was stuck with her singing for three hours straight," Intak joined the conversation, yawning as his girlfriend opened her mouth once again.
"Excuse me? You don't like your girlfriend's extraordinary singing?" Chaeyeon gasped, stopping in her tracks and taking a step back from her two best friends, who both agreed her singing wasn't all that great.
"Chaeyeon, you are good at singing, but just because you're good doesn't mean you make us listen to you for three hours straight, twice a week," Iyana said, giving a side glance to Intak, who had initiated the disagreement.
"Whatever, anyway, how was your weekend, my sugar cakes?" Chaeyeon cheerfully said, smiling widely and linking both her arms—one around Iyana's arm and the other around her boyfriend's arm, standing between them.
"So what's with you and Sunwoo?" Intak questioned, as the couple shifted their attention to the Kato girl.
"Nothing between us. I don't like him in that way," she answered blandly, making her friends scoff and nod in disagreement. She shrugged it off. She had never had a crush on Sunwoo, nor did she have the slightest feelings for him. She assumed her friends were just being more pushy about her relationship status ever since they became a couple.

"What is this?" Intak asked, resting his head on the shoe lockers near Iyana's locker while Chaeyeon was in the teacher's lounge asking their homeroom teacher a question. The Kato girl carefully examined the letter. It was a handwritten note asking her to meet someone in the field right in front of the school after lunch. The handwriting seemed familiar, but she couldn't tell who it was from. She passed the letter to Intak, who read it, widening his eyes as he continued reading.
"It might be a guy who wants to ask you out, in front of the whole school," Intak inferred, handing the letter back to Iyana. She sighed as she read it.
"No, I don't think so," Iyana denied the assumption, not realizing she had a pout on her face.
Unbeknownst to the two best friends, Haechan had overheard their entire conversation as he was by his sneaker's locker. Hot blood rushed through him, and he was annoyed. Was this a boy who wanted to confess to Iyana? Who did this boy think he was? Who was this boy? Why was Haechan getting mad at someone for putting a letter in Iyana's locker with little information? Haechan shook his head again, thinking to himself, "Why am I so worried and enraged that someone asked for Iyana, and when Intak said someone might confess their feelings to Iyana?"
