" this cafe could be
our daily hangout place
already ," you chuckled
as we entered the cafe
we visited on our first
date .

as i looked around the
place with my arm linked
with yours , i spotted
jisung and minho in
the corner .

" hey , minho , jisung !
hello !! " i pulled you
along with me .

" hey !! what are you
doing here ? are you
on a date ? " minho
smirked .

" study ! date it is HAHA
what about you guys ? "
you replied cheerfully .

" oh we're just chilling ,
you do know that this
is jisung's family cafe
right ? " minho asked us .

" wait , really ??? i never
knew ! this is my all time
favourite cafe " i looked
at jisung who was silent
all this while .

was he faking his smile ?

" sorry i have to go and
work now , my shift is
almost starting " jisung
apologised as he stood up
and offered his seats to us .

" thank you ! good luck
at work ! " i did the
'hwaiting' gesture .

and it felt like he faked
a smile again .

he's been acting weird
recently , he's not been
acting as himself around
me these days ...

i wonder why ... ?

after hyunjin and i sat
down , we started to
finish our homework
together as minho just
watched us do so .

" ah ... my favourite
goody two shoes couple
are studying together ,
when will i ever " minho
sighed .

" HAHA go and find a
man real fast then " i
joked .

after a short while ,
your phone rang out
of the blue .

i caught a glimpse of
the caller id which read
' mum '

" hello ? ... yes i'm at
the cafe ... you want me
to what ? ... right now ?"
you turned to face me .

" okay i will ... bye "
you ended the phone
call and looked at me
sadly .

" i need to leave , something
came up and my mum needs
help with something " you
pouted .

" i'm really sorry ara , i'll
make it up to you okay ? "
you apologised and kissed
me on the forehead .

" okay ! no worries , your
mum probably needs you
right now , bye !! " i waved
you goodbye and you did the
same .

" goodbye , boo ! "

i giggled as i heard him
call me that .

" you two really are in
love huh ... " minho
shook his head , judging
us hard .

" well , i'm sorry you can't
find yourself a boyfriend
yet ! " i laughed .

" hey ! i like someone okay ,
but he's probably off limits "
he confessed .

" what ? really ? spill . "

" he likes someone new
now ... and i might not
have a chance already "
he admitted with a pout .

" wait ... do you mEAN
JISU-" he hurriedly
covered my mouth to
prevent me from shouting .

we looked around to see
jisung staring at us .

" shhh !!! and yes ... i do
like jisung " minho muttered .

" ohmygod AAAAAA
i'm so happy for you !!
but do you know who
he likes though ? " i
asked , curious .

" n-n-no i don't " minho
stuttered .

" mehh it's obvious you
know , why hasn't he told
me though ? "

" you'll know soon enough ,
oh by the way ! please don't
tell jisung about this " minho
put out his pinky finger ," pinky
promise ? "

" of course i will , pinky
promise " i chuckled as
i locked fingers with him .
