"So, you're not living with your parents?" Hanna asked, looking straight at Changkyun's eyes. "Nope, they're far away from here."

"Then why'd you decide to live here?"

"I have my friends with me and I live with them. My parents visit me once in awhile, they like my friends a lot," Changkyun smiled, "they're like brothers to me."

"That must be nice," Hanna thought, "are you close to your parents?"

"Yeah, we talk a lot." They stopped by a fast-food restaurant. "Do you want to eat dinner?"

"If you're interested in me, just ask me," Hanna teased.

Changkyun chuckled. "Nevermind then, let's go home." He started walking away from the food place.

"Wait," Hanna held onto Changkyun's arm. "Let's eat!" She dragged him by the arm, quickly getting in the place and saving a seat for them.

"Have you ever considered going back to your hometown and living with your family instead?" Hanna curiously asked as she bit on to her burger.

Changkyun chewed the burger piece in his mouth before nodding his head, "sometimes, but rarely. I'm happy with my friends. It's just when I think about my parents, I'll think about going back. I'll ring them after that to check if they're okay."

"How does it feel being close to your parents?"

"Why are you interrogating me?"

"Can't I ask?" She took a piece of fries and threw it into her mouth. "Not that you can't, but aren't you close to your parents?"

"Nah," Hanna looked down at her burger, judging it, "this is really good."

"Why not?" Changkyun stopped, trying to make Hanna look at him in the eye. "Why are you interrogating me?" Hanna mocked.

Changkyun rolled his eyes, "okay, fine. It feels really nice to be close to your parents. It's like you have someone to talk to about your problems and since they're older than you, they can give you advice and help you out."

Hanna stared into space the whole walk back to their houses.

Sunday, Day 6,

"But you're supposed to help me!" Hanna argued with Changkyun over the phone. Four hours 'til it becomes day 7, and a few more hours 'til the school's about to start yet Hanna wasn't ready for it. She was still struggling with her homework and she had asked his father for his tutor's number so that he could help her.

Instead of a tutoring-session-over-the-phone, they ended up bickering-over-the-phone. "I'm already sleeping, sorry," Changkyun half-sincerely apologized.

"If you're not gonna help me I'll kill you tomorrow!" Hanna threatened.

"That's if the teachers don't kill you first," Changkyun joked.

Hanna sighed. She bid him goodbye and hung up. It was useless to ask his tutor when he's not willing to help and it was a bit too selfish to ask his tutor who seems to be desperate to fall asleep.

Changkyun wondered why Hanna would just hang up easily. From what he knew, she wasn't the type who would give up until she gets what she wants. He got up from his bed and went to his study table.

He called Hanna, ready to help this time.

Day 7,

"Good morning, Hanna!" Minhyuk greeted Hanna as she walked past him. Hanna turned to the older, "sorry?"

"Hello," Minhyuk cheekily smiled. "Oh, right. Um, I'm Lee Minhyuk. One of Changkyun's friends." He pulled out his hand, ready for a handshake. Hanna looked at him, then to his hand and back again at his face. Minhyuk took back his hand.

"I just wanted to say hi," Minhyuk smiled despite Hanna's attitude towards him.

"Oh, alright." Somehow, Hanna was surprised. As if she didn't expect Changkyun's friends to know about the tutoring. "Good morning, Lee Minhyuk."

"Has Changkyun asked you if you guys could start tutoring at our house?" Minhyuk asked.

"Oh, yeah he did," Hanna answered, uninterested. There were a few seconds of silence between them.

"Hm, and what did you say?"

"I said, 'uh huh, so why do they want to meet me?'" Hanna answered Minhyuk's questions as if it was an English test paper.

"Oh, he must've said we wanted to meet you. Well, that wasn't a lie. So, do you w-" Minhyuk couldn't finish whatever he was saying as the school bell rang, indicating the start of school.

"Sorry, I've got to go," Hanna apologized halfheartedly before running to her class.

Minhyuk clicked his tongue and muttered to himself, "since when did she care so much about coming to the class on time?"

"Hey, sorry, I don't think I can tutor you today," Changkyun came up to Hanna during their lunch break.

Hanna looked up almost immediately, "why not?"

"I have dance practice today, we're going to perform in two weeks and I haven't really been practising because of tutoring. Not that I'm blaming the tutoring for it," Changkyun explained.

"But we have a test tomorrow!" she complained.

"Sorry, I've already talked to my group about it," Changkyun apologized, "I told them I'll come for today's practice."

"But you didn't talk to me about it," Hanna scoffed, getting up to face him. "You should've told me beforehand."

"Sorry," he apologized repeatedly. "This can't be. What time does your training end?" Hanna asked.

"Around 7. Why?" Changkyun asked.

"Okay then, where do you guys meet?" Hanna asked again, ignoring Changkyun's question.

"At the dance studio itself," Changkyun answered.

"Meet me at our usual meeting place, then let's go to the dance studio together," Hanna instructed. Changkyun was so confused his eyebrows almost met.

"Why?" Changkyun asked.

"Why what?" Hanna asked as she sat back down on her seat.

"Why do you want to come? You wanna learn how to dance? You want to join our group?"

"Tsk. If I wanted to join your group, I would've asked your leader, not you," Hanna mocked, "and isn't it obvious?"

"After your practice, you're going to tutor me for the test tomorrow."

"You'll get tired of waiting."

"Yeah, so be grateful that I'm willing to wait."
