"you don't sound sick."

"well i am, so please just warn jooheon in geo."

"fine fine whatever. wait, are you skipping because of him?"

"who?"

"come on changkyun, jooheon, duh."

"no, no way. i'm legit sick hyungwon, lay off you ass."

"whatever, i gotta go, i have class."

"see ya."

"bye."

changkyun sighed and placed his phone down on the marble surface before him.

he rubbed a hand over his face groaned.

what was he going to do about this awful situation?

"changkyun dear, why the long face?"

"yeongja-nim!" changkyun squealed running over to the elderly lady standing in the doorway to the kitchen, "it felt like your family vacation lasted forever!"

"jiho ended up getting sick so we were delayed for a while, he couldn't travel anywhere for three days."

"did you talk to my father?"

"yes of course silly, i couldn't just skip work for no reason without telling anyone."

"i'm just worrying for you, it would suck if you had to leave permanently."

"what are you talking about?" yeongja shook her head and began pulling things of the fridge.

"there would be no one to talk to."

"there's plenty of people to talk to."

"yeah, but you're the only one that can actually hold a decent conversation."

yeongja smiled and sighed, "you're sweet little changkyun, do you want breakfast?"

"stop calling me little changkyun, i'm not five, and yes please."

"as soon as you stop calling me yeongja-nim."

"that's unfair."

"why?" yeongja laughed flipping switches on the oven.

"because you are actually wise and skillful. i'm not actually little."

"yes you are."

"i'm taller than you."

"and that's about it."

"i'm taller than a lot of people at school."

"are they all girls."

yeongja-nim! that's so mean."

"you aren't denying it."

"my friend kyungsoo is shorter than me."

"who's kyungsoo?"

"we just started hanging out."

yeongja turns away from the pan and raises her eyebrows, "how come?"

"do i have to have a reason to make new friends?"

"oh come on changkyun, we both know you don't make friends for no reason."

"well, he was hanging out with the asswipe that has been trying to mess with me lately and he looked so lonely so hyungwon brought him over, and now we're besties."

"are you sure you weren't trying to steal that boy's friend?"

"maybe a little, but i really like kyungsoo."
