MY HOPE WAS NOT UNFOUNDED. 

I spot this cute boy in the distance. Maybe he knows about the whole "Red Flavor" craze. 

I walk closer to him, leaving the girls behind. When I gaze at him, I think I'm experiencing what people call "love at first sight." 

His brown hair looks soft, followed by his eyes full of warmth. I can't forget about his bright smile, either. 

"Hey!" I exclaim. 

He looks at me and behind himself, confused. There's no one around us. "Do you know me?" he inquires. 

No, but I want to know you. 

"I just had a question," I answer. 

"Oh, sure. How can I help you?"

"Do you by any chance know about 'Red Flavor?' Have you heard of it at all?"

"Unfortunately, I can't say that I have." 

Feeling embarrassed, I thank him and turn my heels to escape. I don't know what I was thinking when I approached him. If my friends don't know the meaning, how would he?

Before I can run to the girls, I hear his voice. "How old are you, by the way? I'm nineteen."

My face lights up. "I'm nineteen, too!" I chirp. 

"Cool. I was making sure you weren't a minor. I'm throwing a party at my house on July 7. If you want to come, I can give you the address." 

"Thanks for the invite! Can I bring my friends along?"

"Yeah, that's fine. Make sure to mark the party on your calendar."

As I input the details on my phone, I realize that I do not know his name. "Can you tell me your name? When I talk to my friends, I should know who's throwing the party."

He laughs, and I see red on his cheeks. "I'm Mark. I don't know why I didn't say it earlier."

"No worries! I'm Wendy."

"Well, Wendy, I hope to see you soon. Let me know if you find the answer to your question. If not, I can ask around during my party."

"I'll be there! It was nice meeting you, Mark! Thanks again!" 

I keep waving until I see his back. When I look the other way, I bite my lip and clutch my chest. My heart is pounding. 

"You two look cute together," Yeri admits. 

I scream out of shock. "How long have you been standing there?"

"We've been here the whole time you were flirting with him," Joy says smugly. 

"Is he going to be your boyfriend?" Seulgi asks. 

"Shut up!" I shout. 

"Wendy's not allowed to date yet," Irene lectures. "She's too young."

I shake my head at the sound of all this nonsense. "Anyway, he invited me to his party on July 7. He's holding it at his house, and we should all go!"

"I don't think Yeri should come with us. She's a baby," Irene shares. 

"Come on! It'll be fun. I'll be her chaperone," Joy begs. 

Irene crosses her arms and taps her foot repeatedly. We're all giving her the puppy eyes and pleading. "Fine," she surrenders, rolling her eyes. 

Yes! I get to see him again.
