"So you're that infamous first Cupid in a hundred years! " said tzuyu in awe.

"Its crazy to meet you in person," followed jisoo.

"Technically I'm not the first Cupid to be born in a hundred years but the first functional one in a hundred years." said Yerim carefully.

She knew deep down that she played a very important part in both worlds since young. "Be careful." they said to her.

Yerim took her first dibs of the angel hair spaghetti, with stuffed mushrooms and mash potatoes, and to her suprise, it tasted a hundred more times delicious, as if its appearance wasn't already appealing.

It tasted like heaven to her, at least that's how mortals describe things.

Heaven isn't as heavenly as people described. Think often chaos, long shifts and quests, gods or goddesses trying to be powered over each other... that's heaven.

While Yerim was eating, Jungkook couldn't help but secretly take glances at her, and he couldn't deny that he felt something inside him sparked. It was a combined feeling of guilt and anger.

When no one noticed, he dragged tzuyu out the room, or at least, not all of them noticed.

-

Outside, Jungkook looked at tzuyu with a serious expression.

"Don't get to involved with that Cupid. You know you'll only get hurt."

"But she's not a horrible person, she's nice to us-"

"Just do what I'm telling you! You're perfectly aware of the consequences- "

"Whatever you say, I'm still being friends with her. Its not my fault, Jungkook. Neither is it yours. You know it yourself. "

When tzuyu left and went back to the dining room, a punch landed on the wall, forming a dent as the paint chipped.

In the dark corner, joy had quietly observed what just happened. She couldn't help but be curious about what Jungkook and tzuyu's relationship is. And more importantly, what they have to do with Yerim.

-

After school, Yerim went home by herself, since taehyung is stuck in detention. On the way back, she was craving for some chocolate ice cream.

Walking into the vintage ice cream shop, she spotted tzuyu at the far corner of the shop. Wanting to say hi, she walked a little closer, just to see her half arguing with-  Jungkook.

Maybe I'll just let it slip this time.

She ended up buying a mini bucket of chocolate ice cream, in case auntie taeyeon wants some. Giggling, she walked out the store.

"You are a selfish person, jeon Jungkook! You only care about yourself! " shouted a familiar voice.

It was tzuyu. She was fuming with anger and didn't show any signs of hiding it.

Yerim was starting to be suspicious of their relationship now.

Had they broke up?

Hiding behind a tree, where no one could see her, she took a deep breath and chanted something in her mind. Almost instantly, her hair turned from red to black.

She wanted to check if their red strings were connected, as lovers. And in order to do so, she has to change back to her original form, a Cupid.

But when she took a peek again, they were gone.

Sigh.

So much for wanting to check for love strings.
Oh well, maybe another time.

She changed back to her mortal form, and her phone rang.
