  / kim so-hee /

turns out being friends with seven guys, was a blast. it was amazing but quite chaotic. once we entered the arcade, it's like they were wild animals released from their cages. well of course, except for one. suji left me to be with kihyun as they went to the claw machine, minhyuk and wonho were battling against each other in a basketball game, though i'm not sure if either of them is gonna win, because they both suck, not even close to twenty points. shownu, jooheon, and hyungwon were at the 'just dance', shownu and jooheon competing with hyungwon taking a video of them which leads to me alone. with changkyun. we awkwardly stood by the entrance, not knowing what to do, not even speaking a word. being me, i tried to break the ice. "um, hi." what kind of an ice breaker was that, kim so-hee?! i think i even made the ice harder to break! he looked at me and just nodded at me and went back to awkwardly standing, checking his phone, looking around, then just standing again. no, i am a persistent woman and i want to know this guy better. there's just something about him that makes me want to know more about him. to see the real him. "how old are you?"

"23."

"oh, you're older than me, i'm 22."

"cool." and back to silence again. what do i have to do???

"are you not a fan of arcades?" he shook his head. this guy is a tough nut to crack. "well, do you wanna sit- okay." he walked away from me and sat down on a bench, and scrolled through his phone. i approached jooheon who was now taking videos of hyungwon twerking, not even following the dance steps being flashed on the tv. "jooheonie, what does changkyun like?" he turned to me and smiled creepily.

"yah so-hee, do you like our changkyunnie?" he wriggled his eyebrows at me. i slapped the back of his head and glared at him. "okay okay chill. he likes books. talk about books and all his attention will be on you. why? do you really like him?" i rolled my eyes and walked away from him and towards changkyun. i bravely sat next to changkyun who looked at me with those eyes. his cold, emotionless eyes. "uh, do you have an interest in books?" i started and his eyes lit up.

"yeah, do you?" his voice was so deep. his voice was something i wanted to hear, it was addicting.

"a little, i only read when i have the time. but now, i'm currently reading the harry potter series my brother bought me." his eyes widened and he turned to me.

"you have all the harry potter books?" i was shocked. his voice octave went higher and i found it so cute. i nodded and smiled at him.

"yeah, why?" he looked away for a second and went back to his original position.

"nothing."

"do you maybe.. want to borrow some?" he looked at me, and slowly nodded. "then okay, i'll lend you some. which ones though?"

"the last three books. i couldn't buy them so i haven't read it yet. is it.. really okay to borrow them?" he looked at me and gahd, i could stare at his eyes all day.

"sure," i agreed. "but, in one condition. you have to be friends with me. i really want to get to know you, changkyun." and for the first time ever, he smiled. in front of me. i saw changkyun smiling with my own two eyes! and he had dimples which made him even more handsome!

"yah, you're such a negotiator. deal."
