ice cream love

part I

A glance at the clock quickly told you the council was working over time again. A sigh escaped from your lips unconsciously, making the good-looking girl beside you give a remark, "What happened? Oh, we're working overtime again? Come on Kang, this happens every single day, what's so shocking? Now don't interrupt, I'm trying to finish the assignment. Unless you don't want me to finish it and instead want me to get humiliated in front of Kim", almost snarling the handsome Accounts teacher's name who went head to head with her in class everyday (He had given her a 'small' assignment of finding data about shops in the extensive neighborhood of Gang-Nam. She had told him it would be quite impossible since, you know, Gang-Nam is huge. He had been in quite a mood that day and had told her *ahem ahem* that if she couldn't do this small project then she wouldn't do well in her office-life or life in general. Really, did he need to do that? And from then on, Iseul's crush on him (everyone crushed on him, so did you, at least a teeny tiny bit. It's best not to hide feelings, so just... accept it) turned to "hate". And she took up the challenge being the stubborn and obstinate person she is, to prove that she, Hong Iseul will never not do well in any aspect of life. And now, all she does is stalk his SNS and Insta and complain how horrendous he is to your friend group and to the student council and tries to finish the assignment before the due date. It never seems to get finished) . A small exhausted smile played on your lips while you told her not to treat elders like that, calling them by their first name, without any formalities or an ounce of respect. She gave one of her wonderful snorts in return, muttering something about "Freedom of Speech" and "Power to the People". But despite the inside joke, you unknowingly gave a sigh, thinking of the long, long day that was today. Iseul made a 'tchh' sound reminding you of the familiar noise the wide shouldered hunk, Im Jaebeom, who also happened to be your nemesis, made when you did something stupid to make your friends (i.e everyone in your class/college) smile during tense times. Wait- where were you? Hunk and Im Jaebeom? All he was is evilness. That thought (hunk and Jae) made you throw up a little in the back of your mouth. You gave another sigh (that was apparently humongous according to Iseul while she was relating the story to you later in the day) (you gave that sigh to not throw up in case that wasn't clear), making Iseul look up and say, "Could you not? If you do that once more, I will actually throw you out of the windows in the East Tower" making you glance at the old building's large ceiling to floor windows, the one where the student council was currently in. You replied, with the smallest frown on your face, by saying "In this light of events? Then I really wouldn't mind it." Iseul looked up in pretend shock and said, her single-lidded eyes as wide as they could go, "Sunshine Jieun not minding ending life once and for all? What happened, did Jaehyung convince you?" naming her older cousin brother who was also your friend.

"Nah, just... nah". Another thought, another glance at the clock, another sigh.

"I'll treat you to ice cream, ok? Just stop sighing into my precious ears. If you don't you'll be in trouble with me and I'll be in even bigger trouble with Kim..."

But you were paying no heed to her words as soon as you heard the words 'ice cream' and were already smiling your contagious smile thinking of your reunion with ice cream. "Precious, my ass. All I know is that ice cream and I are precious". The last word was in your soft, accented English, making you get a pretend glare from Iseul, who was practically American, courtesy to fact that she has gone at least a gazillion times to America and her spending a few years growing up there.

She shook her pretty head to get the long black streak of hair falling on her eyes to get it out of her face (or maybe at you. You never really know, you know). With her mouth's right corner turned up, signifying she was of course only kidding (you knew that because... come on, you have known each other since simply *ages*. Her smile with the left corner signified you-don't-know-what-I'm-gonna-do-to-you. Well, that technically was a smile a villain gave before dropping a perfectly innocent character into a boiling vat of acid. So, yes, the left-corner smile was a smile of murderous intent) "Uh – huh, I believe you."

The smile still on your face, you replied, "You better".
