"Second place! Not bad for a first timer, right?" Hyunjin says, meeting Seungmin and Chungha outside.

Chungha scoffed, "Yeah but you should've won."

"Chungha." Seungmin says, "You do realize that your college got first place right?"

"Hyunjin didn't win, so what's the point?"

"Your logics are so messed up."

Hyunjin chuckles as he wrapped an arm around her. "Why don't we eat? My treat."

"Oh good. I'm starving!"

They were about to walk towards the cafeteria when someone calls out.

"Seungmin!"

Seungmin turns around and spotted Raewon running towards them.

"Seungmin— I am so sorry—" She looks up, meeting the other two who was confused as she was. "Chungha? H-hyunjin?!!"

≿————- ❈ ————-≾

The four decided to eat outside of school. They were at a cafe just a few meters away.

Raewon avoided their gaze, Seungmin looked back from Hyunjin and her, Hyunjin was starting to get confused and Chungha leans slowly on the chair while tapping the table.

"W—we uhm, we should order." Seungmin suggests, calling out a waiter.

He handed them a menu and they started to look through it.

Seungmin looks at Raewon who was getting uncomfortable. He leans in, "If you want we can go."

Raewon tried to distract herself to the menu, "No, its okay. I can manage."

They finished ordering and no one was still speaking. Hyunjin decided to play with his phone.

"Raewon!" Chungha calls out to her. "I didn't know you and Seungmin are friends."

Raewon looked at Seungmin first before answer, "Uh, yes. We met at the club."

She smirks putting two and two together, "So you're the girl Seungmin's been hanging out with."

"Chungha!"

"Chill out." Chungha says, looking at Seungmin then back at Raewon. "Our friends were kind of wondering who it was. Seungmin talks a lot about you."

Raewon smiled a little, "He does?"

Seungmin gulps as he started stuttering, "W-well... n-not really... I uh.. They just kept asking.. about... about the girl I met... Yes..."

Chungha chuckles, "He's cute when he's nervous." She elbows her boyfriend, "Hey, speak up."

"Hm?" Hyunjin faces Raewon. "Hi, I'm Hyunjin."

Seungmin eyed Raewon. It was obvious she was nervous. He reaches his hand out to her under the table and intertwines them.

Raewon almost flinched but Seungmin squeezes her hand. "Oh, hi, I'm Raewon. I'm also Chungha's classmate."

"Oh! You're the Raewon the noonas met at the party. They've mentioned you."

"Wow. I didn't know I could get mentioned a lot."

Hyunjin nods, "You should meet the others! They'll be delighted to see Seung's girlfriend."

Seungmin sent him a mean look, "We're not even dating."

"Yet." Chungha points out.

"Whatever. Look," The waiter arrives and Seungmin lets go of Raewon's hand. "Food's here."

Raewon looked at the hand that Seungmin held.

It was warm and I liked it.
