"Jiyeong wake up now or you will be late for school!!!" Somi called out from the door.

I groaned, "Okay....."

I got up and put on my school uniform before heading down for breakfast.

"Good Morning Jiyeong!" Guanlin exclaimed, one arm on Tony's shoulders.

How can Guanlin oppa even be so hyper early in the morning...?

Tony smiled at me, a warm smile. I smiled back. The bruise near his mouth has lightened. His hair was messy like a bird nest as if he didn't comb it.

"Aren't you coming to eat breakfast Jiyeong?" Tony asked, with Guanlin's arm still on his shoulders, ignoring my red cheeks.

"um... Coming!" I called out and ran to them.

Guanlin ruffled my hair and chuckled, "Geez...you are so cuteee! Cutiee~!" then take his arm off Tony and pinched my cheeks.

"Yah!" I shrieked and slapped his hands, softly.

"ow..." he pouted.

Then I saw Tony, looking less enthusiastic than before. Did he look...troubled?

"Tony oppa," I shook his arm and asked, "Are you okay?" He nodded weakly and forced a smile.

"Let's eat..."

Tony's POV

Was that jealousy?

I played with the food on the plate using my fork.

"Oh ya! I have to go earlier to help Mr Kim with some stuff... Gotta go! See ya later!" Guanlin said cheerfully and grabbed his bag.

"oh ya! Me too!" Somi Unnie said and chased after Guanlin.

Then they were gone, leaving me with Jiyeong.

Aish... They did it on purpose...

But Jiyeong didn't seem to mind and went on munching her food. Cute.

-

"Jiyeongie?"

"mhm?" Jiyeong said, kicking a pebble along the way to school.

"Err... Just asking. Who am I to you?"

"My best friend! Not only my best friend, but my childhood best friend!" she exclaimed, and hugged me.

Expected...

"Then who am I to you?" she asked me.

Oh no no no no...

"you are more than just a best friend to me, Jiyeong..." I mumbled.

Just then, Jiyeong's phone rang.

"excuse me for a while..." she said and picked up the call.

"oh, Somi Unnie... Yes... I know... Okay, Annyeong!" Jiyeong said in the call.

"Everything alright?" I asked her.

"oh Somi Unnie called me just called me to remind me of the dance rehearsal today," she said, "you will be helping me with my choreography right?"

I nodded.

"oh we have reached school," I said. Jiyeong nodded her head.

"oh ya, what were you saying before Somi Unnie called me..." Jiyeong asked me.

"oh, that was nothing... See you later around the school, I guess?" I said and bid Jiyeong goodbye.
