Jungkook was peacefully sitting down on the stairs, his phone next to him and a book in his hands.

"There he is!" Alicia smiles.

Alicia sneakily goes up to him.

Before Alicia could scare him, he turned around.

"Pftt. You ruined my plan." Alicia pouts.

"Why are you here?"

"I just wanted to say hi to you."

"I'm sorry, but I'm really busy with school work. Let's talk next time okay?"

"Oh, okay..."

Jungkook gave her a tight lipped smile and turned back on his book.

As Alicia was walking to find Exo.

She catches a guy behind the tree, he was wearing someone a gray hoodie, a bucket hat and a mask.

Him and Alicia  made eye contact, and when the guy realized it, he quickly dissapeared.

"What was that?" She wondered.

-

"SEHUN! YOU'VE BEEN THERE FOR ALMOST AN HOUR!" Suho bangs on the bathroom door.

"I'm sorry!! I'm almost done!"

"YOU SAID THAT 10 MINUTES AGO!!"

Meanwhile Kai was on the phone with Baekhyun.

"How's Alicia?"

"She's pretty good."

"You guys must take care of her."

"Yeah.."

-

"The trip is in two days! Are you sure you're not coming?"

"For the last time, no. I wish I can, but I can't."

"I'm excited, yet scared at the same time.."

"There will be girls there.. You'll be fine."

"Yeah, but I just hope you're th-"

Yulli glared at her.

"Okay. Okay."

Alicia looked at her phone.

"Jungkook's been weird lately."

"How so?"

"It feels like he's been trying to avoid me."

Yulli moved closer to Alicia.

"What do you mean?"

"You see, I thought we were getting very close.. But suddenly, he's been ignoring me."

Yulli stared at her.

"W-what. What's wrong?"

"MAYBE HE LIKES YOU!" Yulli shakes the poor Alicia.

"What." Alicia was dumbfounded.

"He's ignoring you because, he's starting to like you! That's how boys are!"

"Um... I don't think so... And plus, I know that- I mean.. He likes someone else I think."

"Are you sure? Who is it then?"

"I don't know."

"See?"

"Jungkook? Liking me? How is that possible?"

-

"Are you excited for the trip?"

"Yeah, but it could've been better if Yulli was coming."

"Do it now!" Mingyu pushes the scared boy.

"Not yet!"

"She's going to leave with them you know."

"Maybe next time." Vernon turned his back.

"Hey, you keep talking about her day and night and now you're just gonna chicken out?" Mingyu grabs him by the collar.

"See ya!" D.O and Sehun leaves Alicia sitting on the bench.

"Here is your chance!" Mingyu grins.

Vernon gulps.

"Here it goes."

He takes a few steps.

"I can't."

Smoke was coming out of Mingyu's ears.

Vernon whines.

"Okay! Okay!"

"This is it."

He sits at the same bench as Alicia.

Alicia smiles at him and goes back to her business.

Vernon gulps. Mingyu then signals him to do something.

"Hey." Vernon forced out a voice.

Alicia turned to him.

"Hi." She smiled.

"The sky is very pretty today."

Alicia looked up.

"Yeah... It is."

Vernon was just awkwardly smiling.

Mingyu facepalmed.

Vernon pretended to be on his phone. But he was looking at Alicia through his peripheral vision.

He remembered how he used to bike around the neighborhood. How there was always this girl who was looking through the window. How they always run around her backyard. How she said, he was her first and only friend.

"She still looks the same." He smiled to himself.

"Can I help you?" Vernon didn't notice that he was now staring at her.

"Oh.. Sorry."

"It's okay."

Alicia's phone rings.

"Yes. Okay. I'll be there." She hangs up.

She gets up and looks at Vernon, and gave him a smile.

Vernon gave back a smile and watched her walk away.

He exhaled.

Mingyu came up to him, furious.

"What was that?"

"I got really scared. Sorry."

"We were basically following her for an hour an a half, just for that."

"Hey atleast I got to talk to her."

"I guess."
