I took the train home with Eric, since he wanted to come over. Sunwoo didn't come with us, because he said he had stuff to deal with: he'd just come over later.

When Eric and I got to my house, my mom was home. We took off our shoes and my mom smiles at us while sitting in the living room.

"Hi, Ms. Kang! I love you and your daughter!" Eric exclaimed.

"I love you, too." My mom laughed.

"I thought you were supposed to be at work right now, mom?" I furrow my eyebrows.

"They let me have a day off. I'm going back tonight, though." She responded.

"You must be exhausted.." I sigh.

"Ms. Kang, always working so hard! So cool!" Eric happily said.

"Thank you, Eric. I'm not tired, don't worry Jihyun."

"Okay, mom. We'll be upstairs."

Eric and I walk up into my room. He jumps on my bed, laying down. He was still wearing his school clothes on my bed, but it was okay. I was going to wash my sheets anyway. I decide to change instead of shower, since I showered in the morning.

I pick out a hoodie and pajama shorts from my dresser, standing in front of it so that my back was facing Eric. I take my uniform off, making sure they weren't inside out. I unhook my bra and put it on the dresser with the dirty clothes.

"Sunwoo would be so jealous." Eric speaks up, laughing out loud.

"Shut up." I put my hoodie on, slipping on the shorts as well.

I go to the bathroom and put my dirty clothes into a bin, going back into the room. I lay next to Eric on the bed, laying on my stomach.

"Hey, Hyunnie, don't you think Sunwoo really does like you?" Eric says.

"Oh god.." I mumble, sighing.

"No, seriously. Everyone thinks he likes you. I mean, he's never been that nice to a girl ever before. He's never even talked to a girl to say the least!" Eric gasps.

"Sunwoo likes you!" He giggles like a girl.

"He does not." I shake my head.

"What makes you think I'm different?" I glare at Eric.

"Everything. You're just different." He responds.

"Sunwoo likes you, we all can tell. He doesn't defend a girl like that. Not to mention, the way he argued with me at lunch. You're just being oblivious."

"I've known him for not even a whole week, Eric. Stop watching so much Korean dramas."

"But, Hyunnie! Why else do you think he risked his vocal cords to argue with me in the cafeteria!?"

"Because you're fun to argue with." I reply.

"Sunwoo doesn't yell that much when he argues or bickers!" Eric exclaims.

"You aren't a detective. Sunwoo doesn't like me, point blank period."

"Then, do you like HIM?" Eric smirks at me.

"No." I flat out say almost immediately.

"Juyeon?"

"No." I respond.

"Hyunjae?"

"No."

"Haknyeon?"

"No."

"Kevin?"

"No."

"Younghoon?"

"No."
