"Do I really have to be this close to you just so you could finally notice me?" He stated and I stared at him, puzzled. "What?" My brows furrowed but he's still smiling warmly at me. He looked down for a moment and stared at me again. "Nothing, I just want to be friends with you." He said as he leaned in to the table and licked his his lips.

I nodded slowly, lost for words. "Are you really this cold towards others, Saeron? Please say something." His eyes twinkled a bit as he stared at me. "I'm not cold. I just don't know what to say." I simply said and it was his turn to nod. "You don't seem to trust people easily but don't worry, I'm not a bad person. I just really want to know you more." How can this guy easily read my mind? First at the party. I don't want admit but he was a bit right when he told me his impression of me. Now, he knows that I don't want to trust others easily?

"I don't know how you read my mind but fine, let's get to know each other." I sighed then smiled at him. He was a bit taken aback but then he chuckled. "You really are interesting." He shook his head lightly with a smile on his face. After that we talked a lot while doing our school stuffs. I can see that Jihoon is a nice guy and I feel comfortable around him unlike the day at the party. Maybe it's because we have to dance so I feel a bit uneasy? I don't know but right now it doesn't feel bad to be friends with this guy.

"Can we go out after school? I'll treat you." He said while we walk in the corridor. I smiled and gave him a nod. "Sure." I said and he grinned at me. "That's great!" I heard him laugh a bit. I stopped in front of my class and waved at him. He waved back and continued walking. I watched him as he slowly disappears from my sight. After that I went inside my class and walked over to my seat.

I told my driver that I'll just grab a coffee with a friend for a bit. They said they'll wait for me outside the school so I should be back shortly. Jihoon took me to a nearby coffee shop. I waited for him in one of the tables as he went to the counter to get our order. I wanted a frappe cappuccino while he had a milk tea for himself. My friends are both busy so they couldn't accompany me today. I didn't have any much time to talk to them earlier because they're so busy.

I suddenly felt my phone beeped from my pocket. I took it out and saw a message from Daniel asking if he can see me today. I bit my lip as I thought of a reply. This is the first time he asked something like this. I sighed and typed.

Me: I'm sorry, I'm with a friend.

I waited for his reply but I didn't received any even after a few minutes. I opened my bag and put my phone there. "Here you go," I looked up and saw Jihoon handing me my coffee. He sat in front of me and started sipping on his milk tea. "Thank you for this." I said and gave him a warm smile. He nodded, "No problem." He said as he glanced outside.

I don't know what to say so we both fell in silence. It's still a bit awkward around us but I don't feel uncomfortable with him. After all I've known and seen him a lot. It's just me who doesn't pay attention. That reminds me about the party. I didn't recognized him instantly that moment. Maybe because he looked a bit.. different with formal attire.

"You love arts so much, huh?" Jihoon suddenly spoke and I saw him looking at my half opened bag that shows my sketchpad. "Yes, it's my passion." I smiled at him. "Then what do you hate if you love arts?" He placed down his drink and stared at me. I thought of something that I hate when I remembered the worst thing I never wanted to do. "Dancing." I replied with a frown on my face.

He looked at me with an amused expression as if its an unusual answer. "What? It's true, I don't like dancing." I honestly said as I drank on my frappe. "So that explains why you look grumpy on that party." He nodded repeatedly as if he just had the answer of his question. I remember being bored at parties but grumpy? "Hey, what do you mean grumpy? I don't look like that!" He chuckled at me and I sent him a glare.

"It's true." He said, laughing. "It's not! Stop laughing." I crossed my arms. He stopped laughing but it left a teasing smile on his face. "Fine, as you say so." He bit his lip. "But you really look like–" He continued but I cut him off. "Park Jihoon!" I whined but the guy just smiled at me trying to suppress his laugh. I rolled my eyes at him at stared outside the window instead.

There, I caught a glimpse of Daniel but it vanished immediately so I just shook the thought away. Seriously, am hallucinating now? I looked at my watch and saw that it has been almost an hour. "Jihoon, I have to go now. The driver's waiting for me." I said as I hastily stood up picking up my bag and my unfinished drink. Jihoon looked up to me. "Okay, I'll walk you back." He said as he was about to stand up but I didn't let him.

"No, it's fine. Thanks for this again." I gestured the coffee in my hand and smiled at him. "I thought you're mad at me." He said with a worried expression in his face. "Of course not, silly. I'll leave now, see you tomorrow!" I grinned and waved at him before walking fast towards the door.
