"Where are you going?", Seongcheol's mum asks before he can leave through the front door.

"I'm meeting a friend from school because of a school project. I promise I'll be back for dinner", he answers and his mother come into the hallway.

"Who?"

"Jeonghan, I don't know if you remember him. The long haired boy", Seongcheol explains.

"The one who was the reason for your fight?"

"Mum! We couldn't choose partners and the fight wasn't his fault! I'm going now."

He left the house before his mum could asks any more questions.

He arrives at Jeonghan's place twenty minutes later.

The house was nice and as far as he could see there was a pretty garden too.

He slowly walks to the front door and rings the bell.

He doesn't have to wait long. A very tall guy opens the door and greets Seongcheol friendly.

"Hi, I'm Mingyu, Jeonghan's brother." He holds out his and and Seongcheol takes it.

"Seongcheol, I'm a friend of Jeonghan. We're doing a project for school."

"Yeah, I'm-"

Mingyu is cut off by Jeonghan coming down the stairs.

"Hey, Cheol!", he says. "We have to go to am Internet café. Mingyu broke my computer", he explains while he puts on his shoes.

"I didn't-"

Mingyu was cut off again by Jeonghan who just hushed him and closes the door behind him.

"Come on, let's go."

Seongcheol nods and they walk together in silence.

"To be honest", Jeonghan starts after talking after a while.

"We don't have an Internet café bear here. I just didn't wanted to stay home. My brother has his friends over and-"

"You don't have to explain. It's okay", Seongcheol cuts him off.

"Let's not do the project now. How about we only pick out topic and spent the rest of the afternoon just having fun?"

Jeonghan slowly nods.

"Sounds okay, I guess."

He seemed to feel more and more comfortable with Seongcheol but he was still a little bit shy.

"I know what we're going to do!", Seongcheol exclaims suddenly.

"And that would be what?", Jeognhan asks unsure.

"A makeover!"

"A what?"

Seongcheol sighs.

"New hairstyle for you first", he explains.

"Then shopping for some new clothes and just feeling more comfortable in your own skin. That's the plan and you're not going to stop me!"

"Okay okay! Why not?"

Seongcheol laughs and takes Jeonghan's hand.

"Trust me."

A smile creeps on Jeonghan's face.

"I do."
