"It's been a month and so since you finally had your own unit and up until now, we haven't stepped a foot in your place. Are we really your friend, Yeojin? "

Yeojin doesn't have to look who owns the voice to know who utter those. Of course, it's Jiwon.

"Everytime I'm inviting the two of you, you're unavailable. " Yeojin answered, watching as they approach the building where her unit is in.

"We're busy? " Jiwon reasoned out, sounding defensive causing Sora who is driving silently, chuckle.

"Exactly. Sora's reason is valid, yours are not. "

Yeojin is seated in the backseat while Jiwon is in the passenger and Sora in driver's. That's why Jiwon have to crane her neck to look at the back seat.

"Hey! My reasons were valid as well!"

"Yeah? The last time I asked you, you said you can't, you're eating candies. "

"That's eating and it's valid? "

Aside from their bickering, the only thing you'll hear inside the car is Sora's soft chuckles.

"Alright, you two, stop with that. We're already here. " She said, intervening the two's bickerings.

Just like the usual, the bickering immediately came to an end. Yeojin bid her friends goodbye before going inside the building. She shakes her head, smiling.

She pressed the lift and saw it came from the underground parking space of the building. She waited for a couple of seconds before the lift opened.

Yeojin froze on her spot as she spotted two familiar people inside. One being the person she has a crush with, the same person she's been texting.

The man raises his brows.

Freak, why is that so attractive! What the hell?!

"Yeojin, aren't you going inside? " He asked, motioning his head to the space beside him.

"A-ah, right! " She immediately entered the lift. "I didn't know you're here hehe. "

Heeseung hummed while stepping forward to press her floor. "I did tell you, actually. "

"Huh? "

He looked at her then to the phone she's holding causing Yeojin to follow his gaze. "I texted you. "

Out of panicked, Yeojin opened her phone and saw the notifications displayed on her lockscreen. The man indeed informed her an hour ago about coming to their building.

"I didn't know— I just opened my phone, I was with my friends...."

"Hey, it's alright. " Heeseung smiled at her and Yeojin have to bit her tongue to not let out an embarrassing sound.

Please God, why did you create such a perfect human! I'm hyperventilating!

She stood there in silence. Her eyes, however, side glancing the person next to her then the other man he's with.

Speaking of the familiar yet unfamiliar man beside Heeseung. She didn't know where exactly she saw him but she definitely saw him somewhere. She just couldn't pinpoint where.

Yeojin poked Heeseung's side, earning the man's attention.

"Friend? " She whispered-asking, pointing the man on his other side.

Heeseung raised his brow in a questioning manner. "Why? "

She shakes her head. "Nothing, I just thought he's somewhat familiar. "

"Ah, I thought you like him. "

Out of instinct, Yeojin slapped his arm. "What like him are you saying? I already like someone, duh. "

Heeseung chuckled. "I know. I'm aware it's me too. "

Again, out of panic and embarrassment, she pinched his arm causing him to laugh. He stepped to the side so Yeojin can have a full view of the other man.

"Yeojin, this is Jay, a friend of mine. " He began introducing. "Jay, this is Yeojin. "

The man who named Jay, looked at her and gave her a warm smile, acknowledging her presence.

"I heard a lot about you, it's nice to finally meet you. " He spoke.

Yeojin immediately greeted him back. "Nice meeting you too, Jay. "

There was no handshake happened as Heeseung is standing in between them. But Yeojin can have a full view of Jay's face.

They are both handsome, Yeojin wouldn't deny that. Heck, they're both attractive too. But the thing is, Jay has a charming aura while Heeseung didn't.

His features are sharp yet there is something in them that reminds her of cottons instead of blades. Warmth, not coldness.

It's like if she would compare them to something, Jay would probably be the daylight while Heeseung is the coldness of the night. Both beautiful in a certain way.

And Yeojin, despite being afraid of the dark, she would choose the beauty of the dusk.

Once the lift opened, Yeojin was the first one to step out followed by Heeseung. Jay stayed in the lift.

"Oh? I thought you two will go to Riki's unit? " She asked when the lift closed with Jay still inside.

"Yeah, we are. Our other friend just arrived downstairs, Jay came to fetch him. "

They began walking until they reached Yeojin's door. Heeseung faced her and rests his hands inside his pockets.

"I'll just be right Riks' place. If you need anything, let me know. Alright? "

She nodded, couldn't utter a word. The proximity of their bodies is messing with her head, heating her cheeks. She just hope the man wouldn't notice it.

She hoped.

Heeseung lifted his hand and tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear, making the blush in her cheeks become more prominent.

The corner of his lips tugged upward as his gaze not leaving hers.

"I'll get going now. " He spoke gently and so lowly making her unconsciously nodded. "You should too. "

Once again, she just nodded but didn't budge as her eyes only directed to his, totally hypnotized.

Heeseung chuckled and that snapped something in Yeojin as her eyes widened.

"Bye! " She blurted and wasted no time going inside her unit, leaving a laughing Heeseung outside.

Yeojin, when will you not embarrass yourself in front of him?!

But fucking hell, he is so handsome!
