Sung Jiyeon's POV

"You think he's jealous?"

"Yeah! He was quite irritated when he started talking about Vernon actually." I said, a bit of sassy on my tone.

"Mmm right." said Jeongyeon, raising a skeptical eyebrow.

"What?" I asked after seeing her expression. I felt that she's gonna argue with me again which is fine because she's always the right one.

"You know you're clever, aren't you?" She said, nodding. I nodded innocently and she went on.

"I've known him for a while," she began, "He actually act like that when he's jealous." she said.

I almost choke on my saliva, "What do you mean with that?" I asked, my voice rising a bit.

"With what?"

"About him getting jealous on college?"

"Oh yeah, he liked someone."

I felt myself getting jealous. He liked a girl? I wondered. He's easily attracted to someone who really has a good attitude, he barely cared for the looks.

"What!?" I said, forgetting the real topic, "Oh mian, go on."

"Maybe he's also a bit intimidated." she said, a smirk curled on her lips. I wrinkled my nose at her sudden expression.

"Well what happened to the girl he liked?" I asked, raising a brow. She massaged her temple randomly.

"Are you all right?" I asked, a bit worried on my best friend. It took a couple of seconds before she responded on my question. She nodded and smiled.

"It turned out that the girl has a boyfriend, Jimin almost lost his arrogance." she chuckled.

"Hmm okay.." I said slowly. She ignored me and got to her feet and went to the kitchen. She scanned all her cabinets.

"Jiyeon, whatever happens. Stay with Jimin forever, all right?" She asked, looking at me with teary eyes.

"What? No. I'm going out with Vernon." I said, she shook her head and faced me.

"That man isn't trusted yet," she said, "You've known Jimin for years." she continued, shoving a pill on her mouth.

"You're weird, you can't be leaving me huh." I told her, she smiled.

"Well I don't know, just promise me that you'll stay with Jimin, all right?" She asked again. I rolled my eyes and nodded.

"Hey Jiyeon, do you fancy going on the cafe?" offered Vernon, smiling sheepishly. I felt the chill on my spine and felt my face turning bright pink.

"I would love that." I said, without hesitations. And at the corner of my eyes, I saw Jimin looking at us with threateningly eyes. Our eyes met and he had a chance of frowning while shaking his head at me, the same expression he did when he left our house years ago.

He turned on his heels and I quickly ignored what happened.

"Let's go." said Vernon, beckoning his head.

"Jiyeon, did you ever like someone?" asked Vernon out of the blue, sipping his coffee with pursed lips.

"Yeah." I said honestly. He nodded slowly and set his coffee on the table. He stared at me. I ignored that for a moment but my heart is literally hammering against my chest.

"C-Can I ask you something?" He asked, I looked at him.

"You just did actually." I chuckled and he laughed.

"Can I now?" He asked again. I nodded and let him ask me questions.

"Can I court you?"
