Back at school the day after Shopping Day. You felt so satisfied after a whole day of running about the mall, you and Eunjeong leading your troops to raid every shop the two of you deigned of worth.

Jin was really fun to have around, because she would always give very helpful comments, like "You girls might want to try that rack over there!" or "Nuh-uh, no way. That is coming off you, Eunjeong." The two of you also picked out clothes for her, but she had only tried on a couple for your entertainment, content with helping you and Eunjeong pick out clothes.

You and Eunjeong and Minah, that is. Oh, the boys and Namjoon got a dozen shirts and dress pants and hoodies and whatnot altogether, but Minah was the star of the show.

When you, along with Eunjeong and Jin, tried to force her into some spaghetti-strap, wrinkly black dress, Taehyung snapped a picture with Jungkook saying over his shoulder, "We are never going to let you live this down, Min!", and burst into peals of unmanly laughter. That was it for Minah and she stormed out of the fitting room, back in her normal clothes, out of the H&M store you were in.

Jimin raced after her, throwing a "You guys keep going! I'll take care of it" behind him and busting out his abs and biceps and whatever-ceps to run.

Jungkook and Taehyung were still uncontrollably laughing, although they were soon shut up by Jin, who had Namjoon follow after her like some lost puppy at a zoo.

"Can we go to Timberland?" Jungkook begged, wanting to finish the shopping trip as soon as possible, and wanting to visit his favourite store for at least five minutes.

This was maybe the seventh time he asked? In the last ten minutes?

Eunjeong got tired of it first, "Fine." She gave Taehyung the rest of the bags that he hadn't been holding already (maybe fifteen?). "You can go too." And they rushed off to find a place to rest their aching leg muscles before heading to Timberland, Taehyung a little slower because Eunjeong definitely made more purchases than you did (Jungkook had those).

You looked at her and shrugged. "Let's continue." And you both kept on shuffling through rack upon rack of clothes.

Now, back at school, you still felt the deep glow of satisfaction from the day before.

Staring out the window because you just could not focus on Ms Jung's lesson on Minji history, you sighed happily. But then your mind wandered on a slightly less happy topic. Jungkook.

What were you supposed to do with him? Your best friend relationship was already halfway skewered after the track-and-field incident, and you just weren't prepared to confront him about it.

Well, with your friendship on the line, one way or another you would have to get it sorted as soon as possible. Especially since even Minah noticed it already.

Then someone knocked on the door, stopping Ms Jung's droning and your train of thought abruptly, and proceeded to open the door.

And the rest of your happy mood (that wasn't alreay gone) melted away.

Apparently there was going to be a transfer student. And it was Yugyeom.
