"Why are your cheeks so red?" Jinyoung asks Jaebum who just came back. "I came running home. I forgot to do something." He said.

"Have you met your parents?" Mark asked while playing with Coco. "Ya, but it is not important." He lied.

Meeting his parents is just an excuse for him so that he can bring Sooyoung home. "We are going out on the date tomorrow," Bambam said. "I can't go out with you guys. I have dinner with my family." He answers.

"Really? Sooyoung said she can't because she having dinner with her family." Mark said. "My appa want me back for dinner for an important event, I don't know. I will find out tomorrow." Jaebum said and went to his own room.

"What! You're going to Busan just to have fun?" Jabeum ask them as he saw the rest packing their things into their backpack. "And leave me alone in the dorm?

"Yeah. For 2 days." Yugyeom smiles. "Just to let you know we are staying Jinyoung's house tonight and we wouldn't be back tonight," Youngjae said.

"Not fair!" Jaebum whine like a kid. "Blame on the dinner you are having later in the evening. This is your fate." Jackson said and shook his head.

"Bye!" The members bid their leader goodbye and left.

Jaebum sigh, "What am I going to do until 7?" He stares at the clock which was only 10 in the morning. "But at least I can see Sooyoung. " he smiled at the thought.

"Eomma! I am going for a jog." Sooyoung shouted and took her phone and headphone along with her.

It was her first one jogging in this neighborhood. However, it felt like she was familiarized with the neighborhood.

"It's my first time here but why I feel so familiar?"

Jaebum was strolling around the neighborhood with Coco since he was alone with Coco and had nothing else to do. He spotted someone familiar from afar. "Isn't that Sooyoung?" He asks himself.

Since he saw someone familiar and run towards her, with coco running ahead. "Sooyoung!" He shouted but she didn't hear him.

"Sooyoung-ah!" Jb stops her by pulling her arm. She was shocked but calm down after she looking at the person who stops her.

"Jaebum?"

"He smiles a bit. Sooyoung blush, "What are you doing here?" She asks. "Taking Coco for a walk." He smiles.

"Woof! Woof!" she bends down and pat the dog's head. Coco licks her hand and wiggles her tail at her. "You are so cute!" she looks at Jaebum.

"YoungJae and Mark bought this." He said. "Why didn't I notice it your dorm when I stay over and even went over?" She asks while patting Coco's head.

"Ah.. we are busy with practice so we left it at close friend's house." He said while staring at her.

"Oh.."

They both walk to a park and let Coco play alone. "Where is the rest?"

"They went to Busan. Leaving me here with Coco." He said. "Want to eat ice cream?" He offers. Sooyoung nods her head and wanted to walk over with Coco but she saw Jaebum running to the nearest convenience store.

She smiles without knowing why. Sooyoung stares at Coco who is running around the park. 

"Here."
