"I don't think I can do this anymore Jiwon," now Bobby was scared. Jisoo never called him Jiwon unless she was genuinely hurt.
"What do you mean?"
"I'm tired of this, the endless fighting. And I know you feel like that too. I think we should spe...
Bobby's thumb hovered over the send button for his text message. His mind was conflicted, on the one hand he wanted Jisoo to know that he was thinking of her but on the other hand he didn't want to get hurt again the way he did when she ended their relationship.
After a few moments of contemplation, Bobby deleted the unsent text as though it would erase the fact that he had ever typed it.
Time never seemed to stop. The ticking of his bedroom clock continued at it's usual pace, never speeding or slowing down its pace. The temptation to just ring Jisoo, even to just hear her voice was too great. Bobby grabbed hold of his phone and went through his contacts. His eyes found Jisoo's name and lingered there, her memory hitting him like a punch in his gut.
Before he could change his mind, Bobby pressed the name that came before Jisoo's on his contact list; Jinhwan's.

"What?" said Jinhwan dully through the other end.
"Are you doing anything?" said Bobby simply, not needing to acknowledge Jinhwan with any greeting.
"No, why?"
"Got nothing to do, and it isn't a school night, let's go somewhere."
"Oh, I get it. Now that you're single, you've suddenly remembered your best friend," joked Jinhwan, but the silence on Bobby's end told him he'd taken his joke too far, "just kidding, I'll pick you up in ten."

"Turn off the radio!" complained Bobby, his hands covering his ears.
"But I like this song," complained Jinhwan,"you can't make me suffer just because this was Jisoo's favourite song."
"Yes I can," retorted Bobby back, before switching off the radio.
Finally Jinhwan arrived at the party him and Bobby had been invited to. It was a typical, cliché high school house party. The hosts were incredibly wealthy, their enormous mansion was already pouring with students from Bobby's school, though many were people he had never come across in his life, as he would find out later.

"Rosé, I'm in no mood to go to some random party," protested Jisoo whilst her best friend dragged her into the house party.
Rose had had to forcefully get Jisoo ready, Jisoo had been intent that she would rather stay at home.
"What if Bobby's there," worried Jisoo, immediately fretting and perspiring.
"If he's there, then you keep dancing and show him what he's missing," replied Rose simply, "now stop complaining and let's go."

"Yah, you're the girl from last time," pointed I.M at Jisoo.
I.M had just disturbed Jisoo's deep thoughts while she stared at Bobby dancing with another girl. Had he gotten over her that quickly?
