"Holy cow" Joon scrambled off his bed the door bell still ringing, running to the bathroom he brushes quickly before heading for the door.

"Joon-ah!!!!l Cassey screams "I know you're in there, you better be ready or else—

Yanking the door open he pulls her in causing her to yelp.

"Hush you're so loud, I could kill you right now" turning towards the kitchen, cassey follows suit hopping after him, "Shoes off now" he says before she locked him into one of her bone-crushing hugs.

Groaning she kicks her shoes off like a toddler before hurriedly arranging it by the door,

"Can I get a hug now"

"Yeah yeah" he rolls his eyes as she smirks before hugging him "I know you wuve me" she says before plopping on the kitchen counter "Why aren't you ready we were suppose to hang out at the cinema today" pulling her phone out her icy-blue eyes twinkling, Joon did a double take at Cassey her eyes reminded him of someone, someone he saw somewhere, he couldn't remember, what was he forgetting.

"What" she scrunched up her face at the look the raven-haired boy was giving her.

"Nothing, it's just your eyes remind me of someone....I don't know it feels like I'm forgetting something" he rubs his temple sighing.

"Are you okay Joon you've been acting weird and off, and don't say it's stress it's something else isn't it?, I know I can be a handful but you can always talk to me you know that right?", Cassey jumps down from the counter going over to give Joon another hug rubbing his back.

"You smell like peaches, I hate peaches" his voice sounded muffled,

"Yup I can tell by how tight you're hugging me might as well crush my bones" smiling as he squeezed her tighter,

"You're so short and your hair gets everywhere I don't like you" Joon says again

"Ack I don't like you too, short girls do wonders for the skin, now let go of me before I stump your toe"  she wiggles free from him.

"Thank you" Joon finally says

"You're welcome, go take a shower I'll text Emil to come over we could have a pre-movie get together" she wiggles her eyebrows while doing her funny dance.

Joon felt better after the shower, he changed into a simple white tee with a v-neck and blue ripped jeans, walking barefoot downstairs he could smell waffles and also heard Cassey talking on the phone.

"He's remembering it's taking too long for—" she abruptly stops talking when she sees Joon and smiles at him "Lets talk later goodbye",

"Who was that"  he says walking over sniffing the air before his eyes go wide,

"Guess" she turns towards the microwave opening it to bring out golden crisped—

"Waffles!!!!, they look delicious, when did you get them" he slide into the chair legs jumbling up and down.

"Here hold this, I went to the car to get them while you were in the shower don't know how I forgot" handing him the plate of waffles before reaching in for berries and whipped cream, Joon was already drooling at the sight of the waffles.

"Here we go and done" she says as she adds berries and nuts to the waffles,

"I love you Cassey" Joon says after his first bite "So good I could cry, damn why aren't we married again" he asks still digging into the waffles.

"Slow down chum chum, and you're ugly and very much a rainbow a big ugly rainbow, besides I'm an ace" she smiles sweetly,

"That doesn't mean we can't get married you'd be my waffle-making-married-friend" he eyes wandering to Cassey's plate of waffles.
