they both stood on the sidewalk as they watched the cars going by. she shrugged as a heavy sigh escaped her lips.

"i don't know..." she said pulling out her phone as she stared at their chat window.

jooheon stopped a cab and opened the door for her. "come on, we only have 2 hours and i still have to pick up the suv from my friend's house."

boki walked inside the cab without paying too much attention at her surroundings, jooheon followed her immediately.

they both sat together at the back seat as jooheon told the driver their address. after that, he glanced at her with curious eyes but noticed her eyes were stuck on the lightened screen and couldn't help but wonder what was so incredibly important that she seemed to forget that he was riding the car right next to her.

but her eyes focused on kihyun's contact name. she opened the chat window and started typing.

boki: kihyunnie... my friends are planning a weekend getaway right now, they told me to tell you to come with us but only if you want of course. are you interested in coming with us?

boki: i understand if you don't want to

boki: so don't feel pressured to saying yes because i understand perfectly

kihyunnie: i'd love to. where are you guys going?

her eyes widened when he answered almost immediately. boki swallowed hard as she kept typing.

boki: that's great! we're going to the beach and we'll return on monday since none of us have class that day

boki: is that okay for you?

kihyunnie: yeah it's fine. i have class but it's in the afternoon so no problem. when are we leaving?

boki: in two hours. we should meet at hawon's house. do you know her address?

kihyunnie: okay i got time. no, i don't know her address but text it to me and i'll meet you there or do you want me to pick you up?

boki stopped texting and glanced at jooheon. "you're coming with us?" he nodded.

"can i go with you to hawon's house?"

"i thought that was the plan?" he asked as if it was obvious. boki's eyes widened just a little and then her eyes returned to the screen.

boki: it's fine, we can meet there. see ya in a bit x

kihyunnie: perfect, see you there xx

her smile reflected on the window's glass and jooheon couldn't help but roll her eyes. he couldn't help but wonder why was she smiling like that.

boki on the other hand felt nervous about the idea of kihyun coming, especially since just now she remembered jooheon was coming too.

it was hard for her to picture how the situation was going to be since both of them seemed to hate each other but now it was too late to back up.

"thank you." jooheon said to the driver as he paid to him, waving goodbye afterwards.

boki pulled her phone inside her purse and walked next to jooheon.

and even though she knew he was walking right next to her, she couldn't focus at all. "are you alright?" he asked.
