Jennie~
"You're getting married?!" Sky jumped up in excitement.
"I don't know. I tried to talk my parents into cancelling it, but they wouldn't. I know they won't." I put my head in my hands, stressed because of all this wedding commotion.
"But you love each other. Why don't you just go with it?" Felix joined in the conversation while sipping on his juice box.
"I'm fine with it, but he keeps on insisting. Maybe..." I suddenly thought of something but it was horrible- erase, erase.
"Maybe?" Sky squinted her eyes.
"It's nothing... I trust Hyunjin. He wouldn't do something like that to me?" It sounded more like a question than a statement.
"Like what?" Felix is still confused. Actually, both of them are clearly confused.
"Cheating..." I feel disgusted that I even thought of that. "He wouldn't."
"He wouldn't. Well, I don't think so? Hyunjin is too nice to do that." Felix shrugged. He's right. If Hyunjin was a bad person, he would have done something to me that night when I was drunk. But he didn't, and so I trust him.
"Enough talking about me. How is it going with you two!" I tried to quickly change up the topic, and I was pretty curious too.
"Us? Oh, we're good! Onion, where did you hide that tteokbokki I bought yesterday?" She pouted. They're still the same.
"I ate it!" He stuck his tongue out at her and she just rolled her eyes at him. Felix has a phobia of letting Sky eat street food.
"You two... any plans on getting married?"
"Me? With her? No thanks." Felix teased and Sky threatened to hit him with her fist. They're still so immature.
"Probably after we graduate. Right, onion?" She patted his head but Felix still looks scared.
"Of course, love!" He threw Sky a big hug and gave her multiple kisses on the cheeks. I really envy them. I wish Hyunjin would still do that to me.
"You two are so cute." I squealed. Everyone seems to have grown up somehow, except for these two.
All the older guys have graduated and even got a stable job by now- even Jisung and Seungmin, who were in the same grade as us. Chan's already married to his girlfriend, Herin. Jeongin... oh gosh. He's really whipped for his girlfriend.
"Do you and Hyunjin still go on dates?" Sky suddenly asked me, bringing back my senses.
"We haven't gone out for a while. The only date we go on, is a trip to the supermarket. I don't remember the last time we've gone on an actual one." But I do remember that today's supposed to be shopping day.
"I think dates are a good way to keep the spark going. Sky and I still go out quite a lot, and our relationship is really strong by now." Felix suggested.
"But he's always busy."
"Well, maybe you two can go on a trip. He'll make time for you."

Hyunjin~
"Hun... can we go on a vacation? I mean, we're going back to school in like two months- we still haven't gone anywhere, not even dates." Jennie explained while pushing the cart.
"That's a waste of money. Plus, I'm busy." I took a bag of noodles and put it in the cart.
"Busy with what? You're always busy... what about me? Why do you always make me wait?" She suddenly snapped.
"Is this because you hanged out with Sky and Felix? What have those two been telling you? Stop listening to their bullshit." I stared her down.
"Those two are my friends. Our friends. Don't say things about them like that," Jennie's tears are on the verge of falling down. "What's happening to you?"
"I'm sorry, okay? I'm taking time off my part-time job for a while. For our wedding. Let's spend time together then, alright?" I pulled her into a hug.
"Wedding? You're fine with it?" She cried on my chest.
"Yup. We're gonna get married." I gave her a quick peck on the lips before resuming our shopping trip.
