Sun's POV

"Basketball this evening?" Pong asked me when I was getting ready to leave my chair. I turned to look at him.

"No, dude. I got something to do," I told him.

Pong, Zac and the others were exchanging look between them before they walked towards me. I was surrounded by those guys right now.

"You're always busy after class. What are you doing?" Zac questioned me.

I turned to look at Nash to ask for his help but he just raised his brows. Looked like, he also wanted to know what I was doing.

"Give me an hour then I'll go to you. Where are you guys going to play?" Instead of answering them, I promised them to join. I hoped they would let this matter go.

"Don't change the topic," Jack protested.

"Tell us or you want me to find the truth myself?" Pong threatened. Truly said, I hated it when they turned into their FBI mode. Although they weren't the one to butt in other's business, but if they do, you couldn't escape.

I rolled my eyes upwards and let out a sigh. "I have tutor," I finally said.

"What? Tutor?" Copter shouted in surprise.

I nodded my head in defeat. "Yeah, tutor,"

"With whom?" Nash folded his arms under his chest.

I looked at them one by one before I answered them. "Inn,"

"How do you know that guy?" Nash furrowed his brows at me. Others were giving me confusing look.

"Ugh! It's a pretty long story. You wanted me to recite it here?"

"Okay then if you don't want to. But tell us, tutor? Since when?" Pong asked me.

"Since I didn't join you guys after class anymore," I told them.

"Considering it, it's last week. Right?" Copter was the one asking me now.

I nodded. "So, you guys do notice huh?" I snickered. They just scoffed.

"Who don't? It's pretty obvious." Jack explained. Straight to the point, no left or right. We were direct because we had known each other for a long while now.

I guess Jack was right. I ditched them every evening because I had a tutoring session with Inn. "Sorry guys." I told them, feeling sorry.

"Never mind. It's not big deal after all. Why Inn was helping you anyway? I want to know that." Nash asked me.

"I already told you that it's a long story. Okay. I'll make it short. I just happened to bump into him somewhere and I told him about my grade, then suddenly he offered to help." I tried to satisfy them as much as possible.

They just looked at me for a moment, making that 'Like I believe' kind of face. But later they nodded their heads.

"It smells fishy but its okay. It's your life anyway," Zac said, shrugging.

I smiled to him. "You don't get mad at me?" I slowly asked.

They shook their head. "We don't but don't ditch us like that. You can tell us anything. We asked because we cared. You know that. But why you suddenly became like this?" Jack patted me on my shoulders.

I shrugged. "Because I felt like it. Is it wrong?"

"Nothing's wrong. I just want to know the reasons behind it," Copter said.

"There's no reason,"

"Okay. Whatever you said," They finally let it go.

"Don't feel offense," I told them later.

"We don't. We respect your decision and we actually salute your change." Pong gave me smile, a warm and friendly one.

I nodded. Suddenly, I felt hot in my eyes. "You guys made me want to cry. Uhuk... uhuk..."

Pong rolled his eyes. "Ugh... Please don't. What are you? A girl?"

I slid my hand into his arm, holding him close. "I'm your girl. Don't you remember?" I joked while landing my head on his shoulder.

"Don't be so clingy with me, asshole! And you're not my girl," he groaned while trying to push my head away. I refused to let him go.

"Guys! Help me get away from this guy!" Pong yelled in frustration.

We laughed our asses off before I finally let go of his hand.
