arcade.

rise and shine! wakey wakey~

"hello mr. sunshine!" i said as i went to the window, smiling as i adore it's glow, stretching out.

for once and for all, i hope my body would cooperate with my mind.

it's such a relief that the exams are finally done. i'll get to rest a bit.

suddenly, a small rock came into the window that surely did startled me a
little.

to my surprise, i didn't noticed that i shrieked- just a bit.

well, i dunno.... i don't usually get startled but..

then it was followed by a call, from a familiar voice.

"eunbi! come out!" he shouted outside with all the loudness his voice reached.

his voice echoed up to where i am.

there was this person that had a charming smile on his face, looking up to me.

jungwoo. yeah, the one and only.

i know. his voice is tinier than how tall he is.

i hurriedly came out of my bed and looked at the window questionably. "what is it?" i said while i was scratching my head.

"dons called a while ago, and he says he wants to hang out with us today," he quickly answered, with full of anticipation for my response.

"but isn't it too early? i just woke up-" i replied and yawned after.

the door behind me sprung open, and it revealed grandma. "jungwoo had asked for my permission already, you guys could go."

i wasn't fully awake during that time but when grandma said it, i was able to let it sink in.

"really, grandma? ah, thank you so much! we will return home early, so that you won't be worried." i replied to her in an instant.

"eun, don't forget to bring the food that i packed earlier this morning, it's on the table downstairs. don't forget to share it with them." she added.

"okay grandma" i answered.

she came downstairs afterwards.

"will you go?" he asked afterwards.

"actually, i have plans today—but i cancelled them because after all, you're my friend." i said jokingly.

"what 'plans' are you talking about?" he questioned me once again.

i have plans to sleep in for the whole morning...

"you know.... sleeping." i answered him sheepishly.

i fell silent when he interrupted me.

"your narrations are too long," jungwoo said, complaining.

"i'd like to keep everything detailed, even if it's not the exact words we said before." i replied and thinked a bit.

"should i just write all of this inside a journal then?" i asked him.

"that would tire your hands," he answered bluntly.

"should i or shouldn't i?" i asked once again.

"i prefer it this way." he said to me and sat back on the couch, his arms were wrapped around the pillow, looking forward for what im going to say.

"alright." i said and nodded.

"well it's all up to you..." he said delaying his words.
