"what do you want?" jiyoung panted as she spotted jihoon sitting at a bench. "god that was so tiring, you know how dark it is out here?? i was running my way here!!"

"how do you run on a skateboard?" jihoon looked up towards the stars, scratching his neck.

jiyoung facepalmed and dropped her backpack on a nearby bench.

"alright. let's hear some good news first."

"well.." jihoon looked down for a moment. "my rank increased! i'm number 19!!"

"good job!! wow, finally moving up, eh?" she playfully punched jihoon.

"i guess. didn't try that much this quarter but i'll step it up again next quarter, then the next. then the next. then the next year," jihoon sighed.

"don't make school your life, jihoon, come on," jiyoung attempted to console jihoon.

"yeah, whatever," he removed his name tag that was still left on his jacket. he stuffed it into his pocket, which seemed to be his last outfit from dance class.

"so..."

"you don't have to repeat the whole incident. just," she replied. "just tell me how you know."

"i mean,"

"ok, forget the whole break-up thing."

"what?" jiyoung looked up in suspicion.

"i just," jihoon tried not to make eye contact with jiyoung, who was now staring him down, thinking he was lying.

"i just wanted you to come here."

jihoon revealed a white paper bag with small handles and pink tissue paper on top. he slightly bowed his head so jiyoung wouldn't be able to see him.

"jihoon! you could have just said so.." jiyoung laughed.

"..you're not mad?" jihoon looked up with his bangs showing.

"well, i'm tired. yall made me skate all the way here so fast, but i wanna see what's in that bag now," jiyoung grinned.

"well.." jihoon sighed

"ok."

"so this was the supposed part 2 prize of the bet. a bts album. but jiyoung, i'm honestly really proud of you. like forget all that stupid, you were one of the highest ranked student on the final korean exam. wow, and i'm the one who's actually korean," jihoon noted.

"anyways, here. you deserve it. let this be like, an early christmas gift too i guess," jihoon shrugged.

jiyoung didn't say anything back until she lifted the tissue paper and a white album with a folded poster was revealed. she picked it up and saw the holographic rose printed on all bts love yourself albums.

"ahh!! thank you so much jihoon!!" jiyoung reached in for a hug, not even realizing what she was doing.

"you didn't have to, really. did they even break up?" she looked up, noticing that jihoon was actually almost a head taller than her.

"well you see the thing is... i don't even know if they were dating."

jiyoung gasped but remained in the hug. she was too lazy and tired to leave the position or talk more about this rising topic.

after a few seconds, or what felt like minutes to jihoon, she let go so she could open the album. she sat on the woodchips unboxing the album, jihoon following.

"ok it's gotta be namjoon it's gotta be namjoon it's-" the photocard rolled out of the album, revealing a selfie of namjoon.

*insert deadly screeches here*

"my hands are... suddenly blessed... oh my god..." jiyoung's hands were shaking while jihoon was still in confusion of her bts obsession.

"thank you jihoon!! but what do you actually want for christmas? since you gave me this album and all," jiyoung awkwardly stood up as jihoon got up from the bench.

"hmm..."

"do you remember on the first day of secondary school, the teacher mispronounced your name as my name because my name was right below you and she just assumed you were me for i don't know... a good week or two?" jihoon laughed in remembrance of "two jihoons" in their class.

"oh yeah!!"

"well.. i thought if it would be funny if we switched for one day. like you actually go to my classes and i go to yours."

"tha-that's your christmas gift? a prank? you've got to be kidding me."

"well... that's not really the point. i'm uh..."

silence broke for a few good seconds until jihoon took another breath.

"trying to um..."

"ask out this girl."

"aww yay jihoon!! this is gonna be so cute, like a christmas confession? winter confession? cAN I COME?? ILL PLAY CHRISTMAS MUSIC AND I'LL SPRAY FAKE SNOW EVERYWHERE AND-"

"shh... don't tell anyone. especially not sewoon." sewoon was basically jihoon's closest friend outside of classes, in which used to be jinyoung before all the drama.

"why would i tell sewoon? he wouldn't even care," jiyoung laughed.

"he's uh, gonna ask out saeri. probably not even just for the winter formal, like he's so whipped for saeri it's funny. they're cute together anyways."

"aww, they're gonna be so cute!" ironically, saeri was jiyoung's closest friend outside of classes because of secondary school. saeri was pretty popular and a few guys attempted to ask her out last formal, but she obviously rejected them all. jiyoung hoped that saeri would give sewoon a chance because it already seems like she likes him too (interior dialogue of jiyoung: right..... riGHT???)

"wait, i still don't understand why you need my help," jiyoung scratched her chin.

"i just need you to give her a heads-up warning that i'm or someone's gonna ask her out. i don't want it to be a complete surprise because i can tell she doesn't really like surprises," jihoon laughed.

"my feet are freezing, goodbye!! i can't stand standing here for another 30 seconds i am running!! home!! bye!!" jiyoung grabbed the bts album and waved to jihoon.

"you're not running!!"
