Jin winks my way and I blush very hard and look away.
"Ah this shameless flirt." Suga says after a while as I pick up my drink and keep sipping from the straw, to distract myself. I feel Jungkook's eyes on me but I avoid looking.
"I've got a plan!" Lisa says raising her hand in the air.
"Let's hear it than." Namjoon in courages her.
"Why don't one of you guys bring your car and first pick up Laila and than you both will go and pick up Ivy and the person can pretend to be a driver while Laila takes Ivy from her home." Lisa suggests with a certain face.
"That's great!" Laila beams at her while I only sit there speechless.
"So that means me and Jin hyung won't be riding together?" Jungkook asks with a pout.
"Nope!" Hobi answers him.
"So who is going to bring their car?" Namjoon asks I look at them all hopefully.
"Well I can't because I will drive my own." Hobi says as he proudly places a hand on his chest.
"Well I won't be driving the whole trip just sleeping." Suga says with a yawn. And I know he is indirectly saying that he will be riding with Hoseok.
"Well me and Jin hyung will be together in Hobi's car!" Jungkook says as he pulls Jin towards him and I breath a sigh of relief internally.
"You don't speak for me." Jin says with a fake angry look.
"Yes I do hyung!" Jungkook says while looking at him. "Why don't you wanna spend time with me?" Jungkook pouts as he looks down with a sad face.
"Aish this brat!" Jin rolls his eyes at Jungkook. "Of course I do."
"Yay!" Jungkook hugs Jin from the side with a big smile, while Jin just shakes his head with a small smile at his clingy friend.
"Is it just me or do you guys also feel like they are a couple?" Laila asks Jimin and his friends.
"They are just too clingy." Jimin whispers to her but we all here him clearly.
"We're soulmates not couples."Jungkook defends their friendship.
"Yeah yeah whatever!" Taehyung roles his eyes. "So Jimin why don't you bring your car since Laila is your girlfriend?"
"Oh Okay!" Jimin agrees reluctantly because I guess he just noticed Taehyung's bad mood just now.
"Yay than it's settled!" Laila gives me a hug suddenly. "You are coming!"
"I guess so." I force a smile as I hug her back.
"Btw I think someone wants your number." Laila says after she settles in her seat and we all resume eating our snacks and talking among themselves.
"What?" I ask her in confusion.
"Don't look back but the waiter boy has been eyeing you for a while now." Laila says with a grin eyes locked on mine.
"So what?" I asks her with a straight face.
"Come on lift someone up." Laila says. "Don't be so cold hearted."
" I am not interested and besides I am not allowed to have boyfriends so I can't do anything." I give her a glare because I can't believe I always have to explain this part of my life to her. But she always forgets it and tries to hook me up with someone every day. It's cute and annoying at the same time.
"Really your not?" Jin asks me from across the table.
I feel flustered for talking to a boy about this but they all are so friendly and making conversations with me like I am also their friend. It feels good to have such genuine friends.
"No my parents have forbidden me to even look at boys they say to focus on my studies." I frown at my parents in my head.
"So you've never had a boyfriend before?" Asks Jungkook as we lock eyes and I only nod my head because words have lost me.
"Can we not talk about this?" I asks them all. "I know my parents are strict but it's not like I am looking for anyone anyway because I am focusing on my studies."
"Its alright nobody will talk about it because even we don't want a relationship this soon too." Jin reassures me with a warm smile.
"Yeah we're so young." Hobi chimes in with a smile while he looks at his empty drink than frowns.
"Let's just enjoy life before it gets limited by a relationship." And suga for the first time gives me a smile, well a gummy smile at that.
"Well look at you I didn't knew you smiled." I say in the spur of emotions but than I realize what I said and my eyes go wide and than cover my mouth quickly with my hands. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to offend you."
"No offense taken." Suga says with another smile. "And don't apologize you should socialize with people more."
"And relax Suga is more soft than what he looks like from the outside." Hobi laughs at his friend which causes him to frown.
"Yeah Mr grandpa!" Jin says through a monthfull as he stifles his laugh.
But than my phone starts to ring and everyone looks at me. I pull it out of my purse and stand up.
"Excuse me it's my mother." I say as I walk away to pick up the call. I go to the restroom and enter it. I close the door and swipe the green button.
"Ivy? Where are you?" I hear my mother's voice from the the other side.
"At the cafe with my friends." I tell her as I hear voices of Sofia and Ian fighting like maniacs behind my mother. I know my mother knows this but she doesn't trust me.
"When are you coming home?" She asks me and I close my eyes and inhale a breath because I can't believe I am about to do this.
"Our teacher just called one of my friends and we were having a little lesson over the call with her but she's hung up now and we will be leaving in a few minutes." I lie as if I had already planned this but I just made it up. I hold my breath for her to reply, my heart threatening to explode.
"Okay I'll see you home than." With that she cuts the call.
I only gape at my phone in my hands because she didn't say a Hi or Bye or how are you or take care. What was the purpose of this call? Just to keep an eye on me.
I feels tears filling my eyes, threatening to fall as I look at my phone in my hands, I try and blink them back before they can fall. I breath in and out of my mouth deeply as a heavy lump forms in my throat.
I know my parents don't love me and I have never experienced or received affection from anyyin my entire life. But when my parents show their behavior like this which further proves the point that they don't care about my existence and are just controlling my life.
It hurts! Very badly! In the heart!
I guess I am too starved for affection that these types of behavior causes me to lose my control on my emotions completely.
I blink my eyes furiously and calm my breathing, as I put my phone back in my purse and step out of the thankfully empty restroom. I start walking but only after a few steps I stop by a voice.
"Um excuse me?" I hear a familiar voice from behind me and as I turn around and I find the waiter boy standing there.
"Yes, Can I help you?" I asks him since I don't know how to make conversation but I am confused that why did he stop me.
