SpartAce I: School Love Affair

Fun and Friends

Ji Hyo's days goes on with classes, spending lunch time with the guys, Gary going to her lessons often.

It might not be the complete freedom she wants, but at least she gets to hang out with them.

Eun Hye often talks to her, too, and for the first time in her life, it seems like she is finally having a girl friend.

She used to have a trauma of befriending anyone, fearing they might have an ulterior motive.

If it was a guy, he definitely have the aim to date her and ruin her reputation.

If it was a girl, she probably wants to share her unwanted spotlight and then tinge her reputation with some false rumors.

She did not just suspect this. She experienced this first hand, back when she is still in middle school.

But with Eun Hye, she is not afraid to be betrayed, for Eun Hye seems to be prettier than her. She can not see any reason for Eun Hye to be insecure with her. And it is just stupid if she just befriended Ji Hyo to be noticed by others, for Eun Hye can do that herself.

Her feminine aura and friendliness is enough to make everyone like her. It even seems like she is slowly taking the crowd's attention from Ji Hyo, which Ji Hyo is definitely in favor of.

Sometimes, Eun Hye joins Gary in watching her in her piano lessons, and she is somehow glad to have her.

"Ji Hyo-ah.. Want to go to the amusement park this weekend? ", Eun Hye says one afternoon.

"Huh? You know i can't go out of the house without my mom or aunt. "

Eun Hye clings her arm around Ji Hyo's. "Eehy, come on. What about i'll ask permission for you? "

Ji Hyo looks at her. "Really? "

She nods simultaneously. "Right now? Yes. Right now. Let's go to your house!", she cheerfully says and pulls Ji Hyo with her as she run.

It is then that Ji Hyo really admits that she admires Eun Hye's optimisfic views in life.

She can make anyone like her, and Ji Hyo's aunt has not resisted that certain charm.

Ji Hyo walks Eun Hye out of the house after the conversation.

She is filled with unsettling emotion that she has been waiting to get out of the house.

As soon as she steps out of the gate with Eun Hye, she looks at Eun Hye, who also looks at her with a contained smile.

And as if on cue..

"KYYAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! ", they yelled in celebration as they jump in place and do a lot of high fives.

"Yeeees! ", Ji Hyo yells, unable to contain the excitement.

"Girls! ", they hear Ji Hyo's mom say from inside the house.

They immediately turn silent  and she hugs Eun Hye.

"Thank you, Eonnie. ", she says.

"Yah, you deserve this. ", she says. "I'll have to go now. "

Ji Hyo nods. "Take care, okay? "

"Yeah, you too. ", she says and leaves with lots of waves and goodbyes before she can really leave.

She has been in a good mood all through the week as she looks forward to the weekend.

And Saturday came, she cheerfully dresses herself in a simple white shirt, black jeans and high cut converse. Then she tops it with a thin blue bomber jacket and a cap.
