"You know what's funny?" Minji turned to Jihoon before entering her house, "What?" He asked, already chuckling.
"I once told myself that whoever is going to date will sure be lucky. I guess I'm that lucky one." She smiled. Jihoon was a bit shocked by her sentence, Minji used to think about who's going to date me?
"You sure are but I never knew you thought about me." He chuckled, Minji playfully rolled her eyes but chuckled, nonetheless.
"Have you ever thought of me actually hearing the things you've said to me?" She eyed him, a mischievious smile forming upon her pink lips. "What?" He tilted his head not knowing where this is going to go.
"Remember that night when you sang a song for me through the phone. You were comforting me about Daniel . . ." She chuckled.
Jihoon nodded, gesturing her to go on. "I heard those three words I never thought would be directed to me." Jihoon's heart stopped, he tried tracking back to when that happened.
Midnight, Minji had called him, crying.
"I remember now, I thought you were asleep. ." He shyly fiddled with the end of his uniform, "I mean, I spoke out my thoughts." He shrugged.
"I forgot to return an awaited answer." Minji chuckled. "I love you too, Park Jihoon." Jihoon shyly laughed, covering his mouth with his hand as his eyes turned in to little sparkly crescents, ⏤that could light up the whole world.⏤
"See you tomorrow, Jihoon." The girl tiptoed and placed a gentle peck on his cheeks before entering her house.
"See you." Jihoon smiled as Minji looked back and waved her hand before closing the door.

Minji spotted Daehwi just unlocking his locker, ⏤probably to take his books⏤ it looks like he just got here not long ago. "Daehwi!" She called over to him, breaking the School's morning silence.
The boy hurriedly packed his bags and slammed his locker shut before quickly walking away from his bestfriend. "Daehwi- wait!" She called out, running towards her bestfriend.
I swear he's making me run in the morning.
Minji luckily grabbed his arm, causing him to stutter backwards. "Daehwi listen to m-"
"I'm sorry for lashing out on you yesterday, my stubborness just really got the best of me. I'm really sorry Minji. I'm just really ashamed of myself-" Before he could finish his sentence, Minji pulled him in to a bear hug.
"I should be sorry for not understanding you . . ." She whispered in to his chest. "Now, tell me what made you so upset yesterday." Minji pulled back and stared deeply at his brown eyes.
Daehwi softly smiled.
"I might sound really childish and self-centered-" "Whatever it might be, I'm willing to listen." She gave him a reassuring smile causing Daehwi to slightly nod.
"As I was saying . . Recently, you've got your boyfriend and I'm not against that or anything but, I just feel kinda left behind as a best friend y'know? We barely hangout Min, I miss the old days but I also don't want to take you away from Jihoon. I also get left out whenever I'm with Nari and Baejin, they low-key flirt when I'm stuck with em'. I just feel a little out-of-place. A third wheeler." He sighed, avoiding her eyes that never left his.
That showed her seriousness about this whole thing, it showed how she really cared for her best friend.
"I'm sorry you feel that way. I'm really sorry for abandoning you on your own thinking It'd be okay but it isn't. I'm such a bad best friend." Minji sighed.
"But please don't force yourself to hangout with me more, you have a choice Min. I just wanted to let it all out." Daehwi shrugged.
She shook her head, "Let's hang today, afterschool. Me, you and no one else." Daehwi studied her face, Minji gave him a sincere smile, it looked like she really wanted to hangout with him after all.
"Okay, no one else." He returned the smile.
"One more thing . . ." His smile was suddenly wiped off of his face, "What?" Minji worriedly asked. "I'm really sorry for dragging your boyfriend in to it, I didn't mean to-"
"I'm sure you didn't mean it, I forgive you." She smiled.

"I'm going to hang out with Daehwi today. Turns out he just really needed his best friend back, I abandoned him." Minji turned to Jihoon as they both packed their books in their bags, ready to head out the school grounds.
"No wonder he looked real clingy at break. I almost got jealous." He shyly chuckled, "But I understand, you two need this." He tousled her hair making Minji jut her bottom lip out.
"Thanks," She slung her bag on her shoulder and walked out their classroom to meet their friends outside the school.
"Took you two long enough." Daehwi playfully scoffed as he clinged on to Minji's other arm, Jihoon laughed, "Well, I'll see you guys tomorrow." He waved at them.
"We'll go now too!" Nari waved at Daehwi and Minji, walking off with Jinyoung. "Don't you just ship them?" Minji chuckled while eyeing their backs, she could tell the air between the two were awkward by Jinyoung's stiffness.
Daehwi chuckled, "Let's go?" She turned to him, eyes sparkling as the sun reflected itself on to them.
He nodded.

"You know, I really missed this." Daehwi smiled before licking his ice cream, Minji returned the smile, "Same."
"Hey, y'know you can tell me anything . ." He started off, making her confused. "I mean, if Jihoon makes you cry or anything ⏤which I know he isn't⏤ but it's just a heads up, I'm still your best friend after all and I'd do anything to protect you." Daehwi continued.
Minji slightly chuckled at his sentence, "Thanks,"
"You know, I'm wondering when are Nari and Jinyoung going to start dating each other. It's so obvious! It almost makes me jealous." He laughs, "True, but I never knew Jihoon and I were that cringey when were around one another."
"Trust me, you two were that cringey." Daehwi shook his head while laughing.

+a/n: im sorRy theres so many of those breaker thingy^
Jihoon walked home, somewhat feeling weird inside but shrugged it off.
Ever since he woke up this morning, he woke up with a racing heart and a heavy feeling on his shoulders but he couldn't seem to put his finger on this particular thing that he's feeling.
It was very weird for him as it's the first time his body has been acting this way.
The boy flinched a bit as his phone loudly rang inside his pocket, ⏤making him somewhat scared⏤ he relaxed a little as it was only his mother calling, she was probably going to ask him to buy more milk in the mart.
"Hello?" "Jihoon, go to the nearest bus stop that takes you to the hospital near the Wone Motel . ." His mother sounded quite frantic and somewhat sad.
"Mom are you ok-" "Your father got in to an accident."
