At the bookshop~

"Um. Joshua ssi. Are you from America or somewhere not from Korea?" Yonghee asked.

"Guess you noticed it. I'm from L.A." Joshua answered. "And you are from?"

"I'm from Australia. You can notice my accent, right?." Yonghee answered happily.

"Yes! I guess it right. So why did you move here?" Joshua asked in English.

"Because of my family's bussiness. How about you?" She asked back.

"Pretty similar.....How old are you?" Joshua asked.

"17 years old. You must be older than me, right?" She asked.
''Yup. I'm 23 years old." Joshua said.

"Gosh. You have to teach me about the hardships of adult life. I'm a bit scared...." Yonghee shrugged.

"Life might not be full with rainbows and glitter but it's not too bad if you have your friends by your side who you can count on. I can garauntee that by my experience." Joshua said and smiled.
"Don't stress about the future." He said and patted Yonghee's shoulder.

"Also call me Josh." He added.
"Thanks for your advice, Josh." Yonghee smiled at him.

They talked for a bit and went back to working. Some customers came so Y/n did her best to sell the books.

"Guess you guys became close?" Jinyoung asked them as there were only some people reading in the corners.

"Ne! sunbaenim. We are friends now." She smiled at him.

"Jinyoung I thought we had two new workers today but where is the other one?" Josh asked.

"He texted me and said that his father was in hospital and he couldn't come." Jinyoung said.

Both Yonghee and Josh nodded.
"But he will be working tomorrow." Jinyoung said and looked at Yonghee. "Yonghee ssi. Your shift is only on weekends, right?"

"Ne. From 2 p.m to 5 p.m." She answered.
"That kid will be working at the same time too. Help him and Josh you too." Jinyoung said to both of them.

"Then, I will see you tomorrow. Bye guys!!" Jinyoung said.

Yonghee and Joshua went out of the bookshop.
"Do you live around here?" Joshua asked.

"Yeah. Just around the corner so don't worry. See ya" Yonghee said and waved at him. Joshua also waved back and they parted away.

"Yo! Sis!!!" Felix was already waiting for her arrival.
She looked at the living room and saw four boys doing their project.

"Um....hi?" She greeted.
"Woah...Project? I didn't know you guys were very serious in learning." Yonghee dissed them.

"Ya! Lee Yonghee. Always sleeping in class doesn't mean that I don't focus..." Minho shouted.

"Gure!! Matcha!! (That's right.)" Wooyoung shouted.
Yonghee shook her head and smiled.

"Minho oppa and Wooyoung oppa. How did you spend the time third wheeling them?" Yonghee asked pointing at Changbin and Felix.

Wooyoung let out a long sigh.
"Don't even ask......." Minho answered for him.

"Yonghee ah. Minho hyung. Find me a girlfriend for me. You guys did a great job with them so please help me!! Jebal!'' Wooyoung said.

"I don't know oppa." Yonghee shrugged.
"Nado. (Me too.) They were way too obvious! " Minho said. "We don't know about your interest...."

Two of them nodded in union.
"Nah. It's good to be single. I can tease San as much as I want." Wooyoung said and clapped his hands."Let's do the project."

"Wait...but seriously why are you interested in the project suddenly?" Yonghee asked again.
"Do you think we are interested?" Woyoung raised a brow.

"PHHT. We met the teacher after you were gone. She threatened us to do the project in the park." Minho shook his head. She nodded. "That's why...."

They continued doing the project and
Yonghee went upstairs and changed her clothes.
'Uh..Today is a long day!!' She thought and went to sleep.

The next day~

Yonghee woke up and checked the time.
'It's already 7 a.m.....' She mumbled and stretched her body. She went to the bathroom and got ready for another day.

"What do I have to do today?" She said to herself as she walked out from the bathroom.

"The project, the part time job and what else.......nothing left. I guess I can explore around the town again after I finished my shift."

"But first, I should go for a morning jog. I have been eating like a pig these days." She said to herself and went downstairs.

Yonghee went out of the house and made sure she locked it so her genius brother would not open the front door to let the thief in again.

She was jogging and listening to the music which happened to be Day6's music.

'I should get back now. I need to prepare for the project too.' She thought and decided to go back.

When she was going back, she saw a bicycle rushing towards her way.

'Andwe.....' She thought.

''Ah!!!!" She screamed.
"Appeo...." She mumbled while whining and trying to touch at the injured part.

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry." The biker apologised.

'Damn....Yonghee. How can you got hit by a bicycle eventhough you saw it coming...' She said in her mind.

"It's okay. It's just a little scratch." She said and tried to get up.

"Ani de? (It isn't!) It's not like it from what I see. Here." The biker gave out his hand which Yonghee accepted it and got up.

"Eo? Han Jisung ?" She gasped. " No wonder why your voice was too familiar."

"Mihanhae. Yonghee ah. Come on. Let's go to the hospital." Jisung said and grabbed his bike.

"Slow down. I don't need to go to the hospital. I'm fine oppa. Really!" She said trying to move her hand like normal eventhough she did hurt.

"If you say so...." Jisung's lips formed a thin line. "At least let me take you back home."
She let out a sigh and said "Okay..."

《Time skip》

"Yonghee ah. You sure you are really fine?" Jisung asked once again as he didn't feel like leaving her alone.

"I'm really fine oppa. I will just put on some bandages if needed. I will go in now." Yonghee said and waved at him.

"Okay. Bye. Yonghee. Take care." Jisung said and got on his bike.
"Be careful oppa. Bye." She said and closed the door.

'Why is she reminding to be careful eventhough i was the one who hit her with the bike. Aish...This bike....' Jisung thought and kicked the bike.

"AAHH! Wrong idea!!" He whined.
