Days passed as it's Friday, the last day of the week for school. You haven't gotten your hands on Ah Rin ever since she beat Jisung up. But every time both of you crossed paths, you made sure to glare at her and give signals to her that she'll get her one day.

Jisung was rarely home, claiming that Chenle wanted to play with him after school at his house. You let them be, and as for Haechan, he didn't talk much to you. You knew he was upset.

You didn't mind but his action was disturbing you. You heaved a deep sigh as you sat on your desk, scrolling your phone.

"Heard anything from Haechan?" Renjun raised his brow at you but you shrugged, trying not to make it obvious it bothers you too. "He's absent for today," Renjun stated and he just received a nod from you.

Jaemin pursed his lips, "What's wrong with both of you?"

You groaned, frustrated with them asking you too much about him. You looked up at Jaemin, tears already pooling in your eyes.

"I don't know, okay? I really don't. Stop asking me about him." Your sudden burst made the others quiet. Your eyes fall on your lap. "I miss him too," You quietly said, but of course the other three could hear you.

Jeno soothingly stroked your back, "Something is up, I guess. You rarely cry, at least not in public." Jeno yelped when you pushed him off the chair, him landing on the butt.

You wiped your tears as a notification came on your phone.

bitchy pudu :
"i miss you too"

You gasped., turning to look at the door. Haechan was leaning on the door with a smirk plastered on his face. He walked to you, grabbing your hand in his. "Let's ditch. It's not like you'll learn."

He pulled you out from the class, leaving the other three clueless.

Haechan brought you to the arcade, "Seriously, are you seven?" You mocked him.

He smirked, "You'll know how fun this is," He tugged on your wrist, pulling you inside. Changing the token at the counter, he pointed at the racing car game.

"Let's bet on who'll win,"

-

"Aww shit, Haechan! That's cheating! You crash with my mario!"

"Dang it, sorry you have to take my ass to ice cream!" His chest vibrated as he laughed loudly.

In the last round, you used your boost power and managed to hit Haechan's character's car and made you win the game. You jumped out of excitement, "Take that! Now you have to treat me to bingsu!" You exclaimed, hitting Haechan's shoulder.

He giggled, eyes on your bright face, mesmerized with your happy face. "It's been so long, happy Yoojin," Haechan monologues.

After betting on some other games, you got Haechan to treat you bingsu. "You know, it was my intention to lose the game, right?" Haechan's hands holding a tray of both your iced shaved, walking to the table.

You sat opposite him, "Yeah yeah right," you dismissed lazily, beginning to dig into the mouth-watering bingsu. Haechan smiled as he stared at you excitedly shoving the bingsu down your mouth.

"Hmmm, this is so goooddd" You grinned, raising a thumb at him. "Free food is always good!" You sang.

Haechan took out his phone, snapping your picture secretly and after that, switching to selfie mode and took a photo without you being ready.

Haechan posted the photos on their KKT group chat.

Injun:

You stopped halfway, melting the ice on your tongue. "Why aren't you eating?"

Haechan instantly put away his phone, a grin appeared on his face and you raised a brow at him. "I'm just happy today, it's almost like a date," He said casually, which made you choke on your saliva.

"Dream on, we'll never date each other," You rolled your eyes making Haechan pouts.

"What's wrong with us being together?"

"it's the fact that we don't even like each other more than friends, haechan. "
