Few days after the kiss, Mingyu's friends - and nowadays also Wonwoo's friends - Vernon, Dino and Seungkwan are sitting in the canteen of their school. Wonwoo and Mingyu's friends have no idea of whatever it was - or is - in between Mingyu and Wonwoo. They have all been acting normal, as if nothing ever happened except for that Mingyu and Wonwoo haven't really hung out together lately.

So, as they haven't hung out together for a while, they decided to do something together. They are planning on going out together, and they're planning it really loudly. Wonwoo's sure everyone in the canteen can hear them arguing about where to go and where to not go. The problem is that Vernon wants to go to movies to watch some cool new movie he's been hyping about for two weeks already, but Seungkwan and Dino don't. Seungkwan wants to go to a restaurant, and Dino says that he'd rather go to an amusement park.

They want to celebrate the ending of their midterms with a trip to somewhere nice, but they all want to go to different places. Except for Mingyu and Wonwoo, who are just sitting quietly, minding their own businesses. They're fine with every place because it'll be fun anyway.

"Restaurant is too boring!"

"Oh my god, YOU are boring," Seungkwan snaps back to Vernon. They look like a married couple when they argue like that.

"Amusement park is not boring..." Dino adds carefully.

"True, but that movie isn't either," Vernon insists, and Seungkwan rolls his eyes.

"Geez, we always go to movies. Can we do something else this time?" He complains, and before Vernon opens his mouth to disagree, Wonwoo interrupts them: "then... what if we just go to both of them; first to see the movie and then to a restaurant."

"Sounds good to me," Mingyu says, grateful that Vernon and Seungkwan shut up for a while.

Vernon thinks for few seconds and then nods, agreeing. Seungkwan scrunches his nose up, "Well, that'll be a bit expensive but... okay."

"Good! Sounds like a plan."

And so the next day, Wonwoo's getting ready to go to the movies. He and Mingyu agreed to ride the bus to the cinema together.

Wonwoo ruffles his hair, looking at the mirror. He's wearing a grey turtle neck shirt with white jeans and beige jacket, and he has his white shoes on and a black, expensive watch he got last Christmas on his wrist. It's quite basic outfit but considering Wonwoo's usual clothes it's a bit fancy. And he spent pretty long time styling his hair too.

He's a bit worried he's too dressed up. They're just going out, all together, like a normal group of friends. It's nothing special, so he feels like he should have worn something more casual. But then again, he likes his clothes, and he can wear whatever he wants and feels comfortable in. And also, he remembers that Mingyu once said that turtle neck shirts fit him, so of course Wonwoo wanted to wear his turtle neck shirt and a pair of his favorite jeans which look good with the shirt.

It's going to be just Vernon, Seungkwan, Mingyu and him because Dino decided to go to the amusement park with someone else. They'll go to watch the movie Vernon so desperately wanted to see, and then they'll go to eat at a restaurant Seungkwan picked.

Wonwoo smiles to himself in the mirror and admits that he looks pretty okay. He grabs his phone and wallet and rushes out, feeling nervous.

Wonwoo's really excited, they've never really hung out together like this. Usually it's just Wonwoo and Mingyu. But of course they've hang out together as a whole friend group, but at the school only.
