"Where's Jake?' heeseung asked.

"With miss xin from English, he had to talk to her about some assignment." Quinn answered.

"He's missing lunch for that?' heeseung raised a brow, and Quinn shrugged.

"Is that really big of a surprise?" Quinn retorted.

"I suppose not." Heeseung muttered.

"So, heeseung," Quinn looked at him, "what's your deal?"

"My deal?"

"Yeah, your deal," when heeseung didn't reply, probably confused as to what Quinn meant, she continued. "Everyone has one. What's yours?"

"I... I don't know?" Heeseung titled his head, still puzzled.

"I just want to get to know you.' Quinn said with a slight pout.

"Why?" Heeseung asked.

"How else are we then supposed to become friends?" Quinn questioned back.

"We're friends now?"

"Well, we're having lunch together. And talking. So, I suppose that makes us friends." She shrugged.

"If you say so." Heeseung mumble, before taking a bite of his sandwich.

He missed the days when he used to eat alone. Those days of solitude were long gone, as now he was joined by Jake and Quinn, sometimes even jungwon and Daniel.

Heeseung could just not go to the cafeteria, and eat somewhere else alone like he used earlier. But a part of him didn't want to do that anymore.

Quinn was about to say something when her phone rang. She picked it up with a grin, and told whoever was on the other side that she was in the cafeteria with heeseung. It wasn't hard to guess that the person was calling was Jake.

"Was that time is running out?" Heeseung asked, recognizing Quinn's ringtone.

"You listen to muse?" Quinn asked, a smile on her face as she looked at the boy eagerly.

"Yeah, they're one of my favourite artists." Heeseung said with a nod.

"Omg, I still don't know what your deal is, but good music taste definitely a part of it."

Heeseung and Quinn continued talking about music, and the conversation soon shifted to movies and web series.

Heeseung couldn't remember when he had such an effortless conversation with someone about things that he likes. Never in a million years did he imagine himself voluntarily talking to a person as loud and extraverted as Quinn, but he couldn't deny that he was enjoying it.

A few minutes later, Jake walked over to them, a suspicious look on his face as he watched the two converse. His expression changed to surprise when he heard them talking about batman, and not something Jake would need to interrogate Quinn about later.

Jake joined in the conversation, it excited him to see heeseung talk so openly about things. They were all talking like they were friends, something Jake had never expected.

They all parted their ways once lunch was over, Quinn and heeseung walked together since they had the same P.E. class. Jake watched their retreating figures with a smile, seeing heeseung and Quinn being friendly made him happy.

The rest of the day passed by painfully slow, like it always did whenever Jake had his tutor session with heeseung. He couldn't wait for the time to pass, and it seems like the universe had something against him and was torturing him by making time go slower.
