SpartAce I: School Love Affair

That Kiss

Ji Hyo sits next to Kwang Soo as they have their lunch under a tree of the school garden.

Gary has told the others to have their lunch their instead of the rooftop where they usually eat.

"So.. jong Kook hyung and Eun Hye noona are on again? ", Kwang Soo asks.

"Well, we saw them hugging earlier. Might be it.", Gary says.

"Waaahh, no wonder Jong Kook hyung seems to be so distracted lately.", Dong Hoon says and then suddenly grins. "It must be because he is in love? "

He and Kwang Soo exchange mischievous looks, and laugh.

"You didn't know about this, Noona? ",  Joong Ki asks.

She shakes her head. "Why would I? "

"Well, you and Jong Kook hyung hangs out a lot."

"No, we don't! "

"Did i hear my name? "

They look up as Jong Kook arrives and joins them in the table.

"Waaaah! Hyung! ", Dong Hoon yells.

"Where's your girlfriend? ", Kwang Soo asks.

Jong Kook casts a glare at Ji Hyo and Gary. "You guys are so light lipped."

"Why? They're friends. They deserve to know. ", Ji Hyo answer, her temper suddenly going up to her head.

"I don't have a girlfriend. ", he says to her with a strong tone.

"Then what do you call that earlier? ", she asks, with the same tone.

"It was just a hug! "

"Well, do friends usually hug?", she asks and turns to Kwang Soo who is next to her. "This guy here is my friend. Do you think he'll be comfortable if i hug him? ", she asks and wraps her arms around Kwang Soo, who immediately stiffens at the contact of his noona.

"See? ", she asks him, proving his point.

"It's a different matter! "

"See? It is a different matter. Why so secretive about it? "

"Because there's nothing to be secretive about! "

"Yah! Oppa. ", she says to him firmly.

"What, Mong Ji-ah? ", he answers with the same tone.

"Aren't you being selfish? "

"Selfsih?! "

"Yah, yah, that's enough. ", Seok Jin butts in the heating conversation.

Jae Seok looks at her and Jong Kook with a frown. "Why are you two always arguing lately? "

"Yeah, they're total hotheads! ", Kwang Soo agrees, immediately cowering when he receives the same piercing glare from the two. "What? Yesterday, you argued the whole lunch time just because Jong Kook hyung brought you Orange Juice instead of Apple."

Right. They really had an argument the day before, but Ji Hyo had not traced up the reason and has just realized how shallow it was.

Still, she refuses to admit that and casts an angry look at Kwang Soo and Jong Kook, who also does the same.

"Let's just give Jong Kook time to admit it.", Seok Jin suggests.

"Hyung, i told you, there's nothing to admit. ", Jong Kook says.

"Liar.", she mutters as she eats her food.

"What did you say? ", Jong Kook asks her.

"Nothing. ", she says in feigned innocence and rolls her eyes.
