Chapter 8 - Eye Candy

Areum was anxious about what happened before class. She was nervous about Ningning's situation just as well as their other friends.

She didn't know what to say she doesn't have any bright ideas. Maybe not attending is the only option for Ningning.

Hina tried to chase them at the corridors to apologize. You can clearly see the guilty expression in her face. "Ningning wait up." she tried to stop her tracks but Ningning wouldn't stop. She was done with this girl.

"Ningning sorry that Yongchae heard. It was supposed to be a joke." Hina apologized, defending her actions at the same time.

Ningning stopped when she finally got tired of Hina's voice. "Joke? Fine, laugh. Laugh at me. Just thing whatever you want to think of me. I don't care anymore." she yelled walking out.

"I didn't mean to...." Hina tried to explain once more but Ningning already put her earpods turning the volume to max.

Hina was sorry and she wanted to make up for it. Too bad there's no way to turn back time now. All the damage is done. Having Ningning to forgive her would be a miracle now.

"Leave her for now." Herin told Hina. "She'll come around." she comforted when Hina wanted to hear that it was her fault. She's done something awful, and wanted to hear words equivalent to what she's done. She should've been mindful of her words.

She only wanted to joke with Ningning because now she can even text a guy in Korean. Out of all the exchange students it was the two of them who had it too slow to adjust. The moment she was informed that she was in fact dating a Korean was impressive and she wanted to mention it a lot.

It was just now that she realized the weight of her actions.

"Ni hao!" here greets a fellow Chinese exchange student, cutting the conversation. It was one of the if not the most famous, one of the most famous guy in campus-Cai Xukun.

Both Ningning and Areum greeted back since he looks like he was talking to them using Mandarin. He never approached them before this. What is it that he might need?

"I'd like to ask if any of you girls still don't have dates on Social night. My friends are too shy to ask." he finished with a scratch on his shoulder and a shy smile. Who knew that this guy would be this shy?

Up close he's even more handsome especially after studying. His breath smelled like mint. How did he pull it off while in school? Did he brush his teeth before talking to them. He even smells good.

Ningning was the least interested that she managed to asked the girls. "Who still doesn't have a date for the Social Night?" she asks.

Lami raised her hand right away assuming that it was Xukun who doesn't have a date yet.

"Justin! Lami's available." Xukun invited his shy friend over. "Who else?" he asked them but since it wasn't him who's looking for a date, Herin shook her head pushing Raehee.

Xukun smiled waving to another friend. All his other friends are behind and nervous. Nobody wants to be Raehee's Date. She's frank and sarcastic. What's more scary than a girl who has opinions and not afraid to say it out loud.

"Chengcheng!" Xukun invited his friend, grabbing him on the arm presenting him to Raehee. "Ask her already." he cheered him.

Raehee raised a brow making the guy gulp and look at Xukun with eyes asking for help. His friend was now busy setting up another friend to Hina.

Chengcheng shifted his gaze to Rahee who looks like she was already glaring. He raised his index finger before speaking, "Please be my date for one night. We'll only dance if you want to dance. If you don't dance we'll just sit there. I won't bother you either if you want silence." he said nervously.
