"No I'm drawing the line here" Johnny sighed "we're not going into another stationary shop" he groaned.

"But Johnny please I need more highlighters for my notes" Izzy grumbled.

"I refuse" Johnny shook his head.

"Me too" Maddie chimed in. 

"I'll go with her" Mark mumbled giving into the beast that was Izzy.

"Fine" Johnny sighed "me and Mads will wait over there" he announce pointing to a bench in a little green area.

"Ok" Izzy practically sung before pulling Mark into the shop.

Johnny and Maddie tuned and made their way to the bench wordlessly both of them exhausted from Izzy's quest to find the perfect pens. They say down together on the bench leaning back and resting their legs after rushing around all day. "Mark needs to learn to say no" Johnny muttered.

Maddie had to agree, first he'd totally allowed his friends or colleagues, which bracket they sat under not quite clear yet, to crash into their apartment, drink their beer and eat their snacks then leave and now he was letting Izzy drag him around Seoul. It was slowly becoming clear to Maddie why Mark seemed to cancel their days out so frequently.

Maddie opened her bag and opened the little box inside pulling out a cigarette and placing it between her lips as she rummaged around for a lighter. Before she could light it however Johnny snatched the cigarette from between her lips. "Woah, what's that's all about" Maddie complained as Johnny tossed the cigarette back into her bag.

"You can't smoke" he replied simply.

Maddie pulled out the cigarette again and sent Johnny a glare "Umm I think you'll find I can, and I do, and it's not something I'm going to drop immediately" she snapped.

Johnny just took the cigarette off her again and put it back in her bag "I don't care if you smoke, but unless your willing to pay a 100,000 won fine then you'll wait until we get home where you can smoke your lungs to death"

"A fine? For what?" Maddie spluttered.

"Smoking in public" Johnny shrugged like it was obvious.

"I'm not going to survive here" Maddie mumbled under her breath putting the cigarette back in the packet and closing her bag with a little too much frustration.

"You'll be fine" Johnny sighed with an eye roll "try to enjoy yourself while your here" he suggested.

"How am I supposed to enjoy myself if I can't smoke in public, I have my family monitoring my alcohol intake and I'm not even a legal adult over here" she countered.

"Do shit people your age do" Johnny practically laughed "go out for chicken or go to karaoke or to the arcade or something"

"Oh yes sounds so fun, me and all of my non existent Korean friends can go do that" she sighed with an eye roll.

"You can make friends at school" Johnny just laughed.

"Making friends isn't my speciality" Maddie muttered.

"Well you can at least try" He sighed "if not I have friends your age you can hang out with"

"You have friends my age?" Maddie asked with a teasing smile "what sort of pedo are you?" She teased.

"Oh zip it" Johnny sighed "I know them from work"

"From work?" Maddie countered her voice a good few tones higher "I don't think I even want to know what your job is"
