I once thought we wouldn't get farther than giving each other a nickname.

But then the one day comes.

Hana and I were sat inside the school cafeteria. We haven't started eating yet because Hana has to take a picture of the meal first and complain how blant it is in her social media, even though she hadn't tasted it yet. I shook my head and laugh at her doings. Not that I disagree though, the food is indeed looking blant and ugly.

But it's cheap, so we'll still dive in it nonetheless.

We were finally about to do that when two broad shadows hovered our table. I instantly look to my side and I honestly thought I might be insane or obsessed with you because I thought you are really standing there next to our table, next to another good looking lad. But sure is you are more handsome.

But then you spoke.

"Ji, do you mind if we sit here?" You smiled, holding up the tray in your hands.

You are indeed standing there, looking at me.

I blinked. Is this actually happening? Why is this happening? When I look around, there are still two or three unoccupied tables, so why do you want to sit with us?

I wanted to squeal, but of course I would never do that, especially in front of you. But I really wanted though, that it suddenly became hard to breathe because you want to sit with us. You, Jeon Jeongguk, the heartthrob and the hottest soccer player of our university, actually managed to call me by my nickname - you have given - and want to sit with us. I shouldn't be surprised since we text now and then, but still! I thought I was some sort of boredom reliever, which I don't really mind, not realizing that you actually want to befriend me, or us, I don't know!

You followed the path of my gaze's old direction and then placed the tray atop of our table. Your friend did the same. You scratched your nape and smiled sheepishly. "A whole table would be big for us, so I thought sharing—"

"Yes, yes. It's okay, you guys can sit with us. We won't mind." I smiled back, scolding myself mentally for sounding so eager, as if I was the one who wants to sit with you and not the other way around. Hana nudges my foot with her own under the table. She is biting her bottom lip, probably holding herself from laughing at me.

And it's understandable. A whole table would be really spacious just for the two of you. No ordinary person would dare to ask to sit with you since you are Jeon Jeongguk. I finally recognized your friend, he's Eunwoo. Your soccer teammate. He's famous for his good looks and talent in sports too.

"Thank you." Eunwoo said, flashing a smile at us. He took a sit first before you, sitting beside Hana who is across me.

"Yeah, thank you, Ji." You smiled too after sitting, and I secretly melted. It's like honey to my bees when I heard you say may nickname again— wait. What? Honey to my bees?
