Soobin couldn't really concentrate during class. He kept thinking about the things his friends have said.
"You can't take back what you said."
"You. Like. Namji"
He couldn't stop looking over to her every other minute. He spotted her talking with Sanha and he sighed. He couldn't deny the fact that he actually does feel the jealousy just like his friends said.
Soobin: "What exactly am I feeling..."

AFTER SCHOOL
Soobin opened his locker to return his books and was about to head home after. He looked to the side and saw Namji emerging through the crowd towards his direction.
Soobin panicked and just dumped his books inside and slammed his locker before walking away but it was too late.
Namji: Soobin-ah!
Just when he turned around to leave, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He exhaled before turning around.
Namji: I was just in the mood to eat ice cream right now. Do you wanna come with me?
Soobin: No-
Those two sparkling eyes filled with excitement just forced him to agree.
Soobin: Yes, I'll come with.
Namji: AWSOME! *jumps*
-
They just decided to go buy ice cream at the convenience store. They started to walk side by side. Namji came closer to his side since he seemed too distant but he just moved away after.
Namji: Soobin, have you ever liked someone?
Soobin: N-no.
Namji: No?
She repeated.
Soobin: D-did I stutter?
Unfortunately, he did. Soobin wanted to slap himself in the face.
Namji: No way, everyone have had a crush at least once, even you.
Soobin: Well I never have.
Namji just wanted to ask how she was if he did have a crush so that she could know his ideal type but she failed.
Namji: Someone must've made your heart flutter or something.
Soobin: We're here!
They arrived at their destination and Soobin just wanted to avoid talking about subjects that had to do something with romantic connections.
They picked an ice cream flavor from the freezer and paid for it before taking a seat on the bench in the park. Namji couldn't help but feel happy at the moment.
Namji: This is so nice. Thank you for coming with me.
Soobin: It's alright.
Namji turned to look at him and saw the corner of his lips stained with ice cream. She leaned closer which took Soobin by surprise and backed away.
Soobin: What are you doing?
Namji: You've got a little something there. *points*
Soobin: I'll get it myself! Remember, w-we're just friends, ok?
Namji was too close that Soobin could almost feel his heart burst.
Namji: I know. And friends do this, right?
Namji brought her ice cream to his face, staining his cheek. Soobin froze there shocked. Namji bursted out laughing at his expression.
Namji: Oops?
Soobin: Aish you're so mean...
Namji: Ok I'm sorry-
Soobin suddenly came at her and stroke his ice cream on her, almost covering half of her face with it. Namji gasped.
Soobin: Sike you thought!
Namji: Are you serious? So this is how you betray a friend?They both laughed with each other. Soobin got some tissues and wiped off the cream from dis face. Namji did the same but she didn't get all the spots.
Soobin: *chuckles* Let me help you.
He leaned extremely close to her face and wiped it off. Namji's eyes widened at his action her felt her heart racing. Soobin looked up to her eyes.
That's when he felt the spark in his heart. That small yet impactful feeling inside him. Soobin found himself getting lost in her eyes. Namji was causing all of those he was feeling and that's when it hit him. He has fallen for her.
Soobin's expression changed as if he had just seen the most horrifying thing. Namji gave him a worried look.
Namji: Are you ok-
Soobin: Sorry, I-I have to go.
He grabbed his backpack and dashed away leaving her there in confusion.
