Arin dropped her ice cream.

"Yah!" Gahyeon screamed. thankfully the crowds were more loud so Gahyeon's voice weren't so visible. Arin snapped out to reality and realized that she's been staring at him for minutes. She grabbed her ice cream and stands up along with Gahyeon, looking for a near restroom.

"My ice cream.." Arin sighed sadly. She throws her fallen ice cream o the trash can. Arin pouted and looked at Gahyeon with puppy eyes.

"I'll get you one later. But, was that really him?" Said Gahyeon while helping Arin wipe her stained clothes. A flash of Jiho's gesture popped inside her head.

"Y-yes." Arin answered blushing.

"Oh my god, Arin! You got yourself an idol!" Gahyeon hugged her best friend and jumped in joy. Gahyeon suddenly push Arin, "ew ew it got on my shirt too."

Arin laughed at her best friend. They cleaned up their stained clothes and finishes Gahyeon's takoyaki together. Arin have to go to the cafe she worked part time and Gahyeon got a group appointment.

"I'll buy your ice cream next time!" said Gahyeon while walking backway. Arin waved her hands, "it's okayy."

"Hey, Arin. You're early." Greet Yoona. She was counting money on the cashier. She sure loves money.

"I got nothing to do anyway so I thought I'll just clean up the place." Arin wear her uniform and a mop.

"Would you clean up the meeting room please?" Asked Yoona.

"Alrighty."

The cafe was quite empty, there weren't many customers. The clock points at 8 pm.

"Arin, can you please do the dishes? Olive asked to go home earlier." Yoona asked. Arin nods and wash the dishes. She then walk to the counter.

"Oh you're done, send this drink upstairs, the meeting room." Yoona smiled at Arin. The smell of caramel latte makes Arin smile. Arin accepts the drink and go upstairs.

Yoona smiled to Arin as she goes. "Ah, must be nice."

When Arin arrived at the second floor, she knocked the meeting room and stepped inside.

"You?" Arin gasped at the view in front of her. Jiho was there. Jiho pulls Arin to sit in front of him. He take the drink and put if on the table.

"Here," Jiho hands her a bungeoppang ice cream. "Sorry about earlier. Did I startled you?"

"Do you need to ask? Thank you, by the way." Arin scooped a spoonful of ice cream and let it melt in her mouth.
"Do you like it?" Jiho asked.

"Mm-hmm." Jiho chuckled.

"I mean my performance." Jiho stares at her eyes sincerely.

"D-don't stare at me like that.." Arin lowers her eyes.

"Why?" Jiho asked in a teasing voice.

"It's fluttering." Arin answered with a low voice, but definitely can be heard. Wait did I just say that? I did?

"So you like me?" Jiho leans closer.

"No! I mean, no, I mean, I don't hate you,"

"Mm, sweet." Jiho take a spoonful of ice cream. Was that an indirect kiss? Arin closes her eyes for a second. No, right?

"I, do like you..r peformance," her eyes met his. She quickly looks somewhere else. Her cheeks turns to a shade of red. "Itwascoolilikethebeat, waitwasthetitlethebeattoo?"
