"Jisung-ah!"  she waved to him signaling him to come over.

He waved back to her, smiling.

"Jisung-ah, I brought Felix and Hyunjin with us today. Are you okay with that?"

"Why not?"  he smiled to them.

"And by the way, you can call me Jisung, I think we're close enough."

"Okay."

"Let's go!"  Felix said excitedly and they started walking

"Man, what's up? How have you been?"  Hyunjin asked his friend

"I'm good, what about you guys?"

"We're lonely without you huhuhu"  Felix faked cry and they just laughed it off.

"We are here. Come on, let's go inside."

They ordered their favorites and talked about school and their favorites.

"It's already past five, I think we should go now."  Wendy said.

"Yep, before it gets dark."  Hyunjin agreed.

They all stood up and went outside the shop.

"Felix, Hyunjin, where are you heading?"  they both pointed out to the 

opposite way where Wendy lives.

"What about you, Jisung?"

"I'll take Wendy home, you guys should go now. My house is near."  he calmly stated.

Felix and Hyunjin just smiled to them before nodding.

"See you tomorrow, take care and head home safely!"  the young men said and walked off.

"Same to you too!" Wendy and Jisung waved to them.

"Hey, Jisung, it's fine. I can go home by myself."  she awkwardly said to him.

"No, come on. Do you want to take a bus or walk?" Jisung asked ignoring her statement.

"I'm saving money, and walking is good for our body so.."  she said.

"Alright."  and they started walking.

"Jisung, I have something to tell you."  she nervously said.

"What is it?"

"You know, I told you a while ago that I noticed you seemed off lately."  he just hummed.

"I actually heard you, I-I didn't m-mean to eavesdrop b-but I heard you 

talking to yourself."

They both stopped walking and she faced Jisung who seemed shocked.

"You were saying mean things to yourself."

she held both of his shoulders and made him face her.

"You know, if you have a problem, you should tell us. You can tell me. I'll be listening."

she nervously said,

"We're all worried for you. Don't say mean things to yourself!"  her voice raised up.

"I-I'm sorry, I d-didn't mean to shout."  she bowed and Jisung hasn't replied yet.

"Jisung, are you still there?"  she was about to poke his cheek but he caught her hand.

"Help me."  is all he said and it made her worry more.

"I'd be glad to help you. Wherever, whenever, just call me."  she patted 

his shoulder with her free hand.

"Jisung, are you okay?" and he snapped back to reality.

"Uh, my hand..."  she awkwardly said and her heart was beating fast.

"Oh, right. I'm sorry."  he let go of her hand and they continued walking.

"Jisung, thanks for today. See you tomorrow!"  she smiled to him as they reached her house.

"No problem. See you."  he smiled and waved to her. He took a step near her and kissed her

cheek before walking off to his house.
