time went by, life here wasn't that bad. i got a boyfriend in just the two months i've been here, don't ask me how that happened. it wasn't actually a very committed relationship because i don't really know how this works but when seonghwa asked me to be his boyfriend i agreed apparently.

soyeon doesn't trust him like, at all, i tried to get her to mallow up to him but she just feels uncomfortable with him. don't get me wrong, seonghwa is really sweet and pretty also kind, soyeon feels bad she couldn't feel comfortable with him because she knows he was a really nice guy, idk maybe she's just bitter that pretty girl miyeon won't notice her.

"do you think seonghwa thinks i'm boring?"
i asked soyeon with a frown while she sharpens up some weapons in the shack we always hung out in.

"what makes you say that?"
she asked with her attention still on the blade she's sharpening.
"i dunno, he's really, high class. like, he's the son of the richest man in korea at this time.... and i'm just.... don't you think i'm a little boring and.... ugly for a pretty guy like him?"

she suddenly set the blades down and looked at me with her arms crossed. she tilted her head sideways as she scanned my face and she smiled a bit.
"minho since when were you ugly? well.... whenever i call you ugly but you know for a guy, you're actually.... really pretty."

"aww thanks—"

"and i hate it! why the hell are you pretty!?"
she pouted and i squished her cheeks while laughing.
"awww yeonnie you're pretty too! it won't be long till miyeon wiyeon noona notice you."

"i told you i don't like miyeon unnie—"

"pfft, pretend i believed that."
soyeon chased me around the shack and i ran out the door with her still on my tail.
i stuck out my tongue at her as i continued to run until i saw miyeon noona looking at us and i accidentally tripped, with soyeon landing on top of me painfully.

"s-soyeon, minho, stop playing around."
noona told us and we smiled sheepishly and stood up.
"soyeon have you told him?"
noona suddenly asked and soyeon's face darkened and i looked at her.

"i-i will unnie, don't worry."
soyeon said with her head hung low.
"wh-why? what's wrong?"

"nothing minho, don't worry."
miyeon noona smiled and looked at soyeon.
"we leave first thing tomorrow soyeon, there's no time to waste."
noona walked off with the others and i looked at soyeon with nervous eyes.

"soyeon—"

"minho...."
she said in a sweet but sad tone that it broke my heart as she looked at me, we locked eyes for a moment and soyeon pursed her lips.
"i.... can we.... i'll tell you after okay? but i have to show you something first."

she took my hand but i obliged to move.
"soyeon.... where.... where are you going?"
she couldn't look at me but instead she took me up the shack, to the roof where i've never been and i saw the sunset. i gasped a bit and glanced at soyeon who looked at the horizon with far eyes.

"remember two years ago when we didn't expect to be the best friends we are now? we were inseparable since minho....."
she started.
