IT'S dismissal time. Joshua and Jeonghan started keeping their things in their bags before they started walking out of the classroom.

"Jeonghan.." Joshua called Jeonghan while they were walking in the hallway.

Jeonghan turned his head in response, facing Joshua as the latter called him. "Hmm?"

"You seem gloomy this day. Are you okay?" Joshua asked. He wanted to ask that question since this morning when he noticed that his best friend looked down.

Jeonghan smiled. "I'm alright. Don't worry."

Joshua noticed that Jeonghan's smile did not reach its eyes. He knew that something was really wrong. "Are you sure?"

Jeonghan nodded.

"If there's a problem, I'm here to listen." Joshua assuredly said while tapping his friend's shoulder. "Want to eat? I'll treat you."

Jeonghan chuckled a weak one. "I'm just tired, Joshua. Don't mind me."

Joshua just sighed in surrender. He actually noticed that something's going on with Jeonghan since the time that he fetched his childhood friend in the airport. He wanted to tell him that he and Joely were starting going out already but he refrained himself from doing so due to the sudden change of Jeonghan's mood after that night.

The two of them were getting near the school gate. They stopped as they saw Joely standing by the gate while waving her hand at them.

A sweet smile started forming on Joshua's face as he saw Joely. He then continued walking. Jeonghan followed.

"Why are you here?" Joshua immediately asked as they got in front of Joely.

"I'm bored so I thought of going here." Joely answered.

"Didn't you have a class?" Joshua asked. He knew that Joely was studying in another university and he knew that she was in her second year already.

"We just had but only for a half day," Joely answered. "Let's go out before going home. How about some ice cream?"

"What's gotten into you?"

Joely just shrugged. She then looked at the silent Jeonghan beside Joshua. "Jeonghan, come with us."

Joshua looked at Jeonghan too, giving him a stare like encouraging him to come with them.

Slowly shaking his head, Jeonghan faintly smiled. "I can't. There are some matters to take care at home."

Joely just pouted in disappointment. Joshua, on the other hand, just gave Jeonghan a sympathizing smile. "Okay. Take care and fighting."

"Thanks," Jeonghan responded. "Enjoy."

As Jeonghan started heading to his home, Joshua and Joely walked side by side in the opposite direction. Joshua craned his neck to see Joely's face. A stirring feeling started taking over his insides, like there were butterflies in his stomach. He couldn't believe that he liked the girl next to him. He lunged at her and snatched the bag that was hanging on her shoulder.
