"Come on, Ahyeon! What's taking you so long?" Juhyeon shouted.

"Why are you in a rush? It's only 10 in the morning and we'll get there in less than an hour!" Ahyeon complained while combing her short hair.

"Started from the bottom, and now we are here. Where did I ever get this confidence now I have? From my friends? Or from... Mark?"

*Flashback*

Ahyeon's school did not win the basketball game but the team still have decided to have a party with all the team members.

"Is this some sort of farewell party?" Jackson asked.

"I guess so. Can our friends join?" JB asked their coach.

"Sure! Call them over and they may ride our car with us. It will be more fun if there's more of us." The coach said so JB told Jackson to call them immediately, including the three girls.

"Really? What did he say? Did he tell you he actually likes you? Tell us!" Yoobi told Ahyeon, expressing her excitement to hear Ahyeon's story.

"Well, he did not tell me he still likes me but –"

"So he already did?" Yoobi asked with her twinkling eyes.

"Yes, he did. Oh, wait. Correction! He said he loves her, not like her. They're different." Hyeri said.

"What? How did you – "

"You already told us that, Ahyeon. You probably already forgot." Hyeri said.

"So, did he tell you that again earlier? We saw you happily walking with Mark earlier." – Hyeri

"When did I – "

"EARLIER." Hyeri and Yoobi said in unison.

"Okay. Okay. Fine, if I really did. Back to what we were talking about, no, he did not tell me anything."

"But?" – Hyeri

"He said some cheesy things and –"

"What did he – "

"And no, I'm not going to repeat them." Ahyeon said and started sipping on her cola.

"Wait a minute. Are you blushing, Ahyeon?" Hyeri asked and lifted her face.

"Omo! Yes, she is blushing! Your face is now redder than any tomato that I've ever seen!" Yoobi said and the two girls just looked at her. "Oops, sorry. Sorry."

Then Hyeri turned back her attention to Ahyeon, "So, what did he say? Tell us, Ah –"

Ahyeon whooshed Hyeri's hands away from her face, "I told you I am not repeating it."

Suddenly, Yoobi's phone rang.

"Hi there, beautiful lady." Jackson, who's on the line, said causing Yooi to blush.

"Now look who's blushing." Ahyeon said while smiling widely.

"Why? Why? Who are you talking to now, Yoobi?" Hyeri asked and took the phone from her. "It's Jackson!" Then she put it on loudspeaker.

"Perfect! Are you all three together?" Jackson asked.

"Yes. Why?" – Yoobi

"We would to invite you to our team's party tonight. Beef and soju party."

"Beef and soju?" Ahyeon repeated.

"Are you trying to get us drunk?" Hyeri shouted.

"What? Wait. Of course, not. Why would I?" ­– Jackson

"Just tell us the truth, okay." – Hyeri

Then Jackson suddenly stopped talking.

"Hey."

"Hey. Who are you?" Hyeri answered.

"Wait. That's your phone, right?" Ahyeon asked and Yoobi nodded. "And that call was for you?" Yoobi nodded again and Ahyeon added, "I'm sorry if Hyeri took over your phone."

"May I talk to Ahyeon?"

"I asked who are you?" Hyeri repeated.

"Mark."

"Oh... Oh... Awkward. Fine." Then Hyeri handed the phone to Ahyeon.

"Is it now you?" Mark asked.

"Yes. Why?" – Ahyeon

"You want to come to our party? It's gonna be until 8PM only."

"Nope, we're fine. We're not drinking." Ahyeon said.

"You can just eat beef. I will not drink. I'll be your guardian tonight."

"OHHHHHHH~" Yoobi and Hyeri shouted together in excitement.

"Just a guardian? Seriously?" Hyeri asked.

"What should I be called? Then, date? Don't worry. If you ever get drunk –"

"DID YOU JUST SAY DATE? I thought this is your team's party?" Hyeri asked.

"Gotcha, Mark!" Jackson said who was listening to their conversation.

"So, are you coming or not?"

"If you say yes, does that mean you a –" - Hyeri

"No." - Ahyeon

"You are not coming?" – Mark

"No. Wait. No. I mean, yes." Ahyeon said, stuttering.

"We're totally coming. Where should we go?" Hyeri asked.

Then Mark told them where the car is, where they are waiting.

*End of Flashback*

"That's the night when I finally got to talk to them again. I had fun not because of the soju but because of the beef. I mean, because of them."

Ahyeon listens to her recorded song while they are on their way to the place where her contest is to be held.

"Relax, my dear. If you don't win, we don't care because we all know you are a great singer." Her mother said and hugged her tight, "I'm really excited to see you on stage again, Ahyeon."

"Thanks, mom. I'll enjoy this stage as if it's gonna be my last." She said and continued listeningto her recorded song."
