School is a good place for Sejeong, she can have many friends, learn new things, and find love. For the past weeks, Sejeong and Chungha rarely hangout together because Chungha has a meeting with her dance club, she practice every day because their group will take a part in dance competition. Sejeong feels lonely, but she can't blame Chungha because she has the reason.

Sejeong can't do anything to help her, she can only give all of the support to her best friend. On the other hand, someone is looking after her. Hyuk. In the past few months, Hyuk showed a different attitude towards Chungha, but Chungha didn't realize it. Sejeong knows that Hyuk's attitude changed, she knows Hyuk likes Chungha but until now he hasn't confess his love. Sejeong doesn't want to interfere in their love story, she lets the love  to be revealed by itself. Sejeong? Of course there's Eunwoo who accompanied her well when Chungha wasn't there by her side.

Eunwoo always wants to take Sejeong home, but he knows that her dad always comes to pick her up. So he just accompanied her waiting for her to be picked up in front of the school.

"Sejeong, you already grown up but why you always be picked up by your dad?" Eunwoo asked her, curious

"Because my dad won't let me going home alone" she replied

"I can accompany you, we can take a bus from here"

"Daddy won't let me take the bus"

"Why? Or we can take a taxi"

"There is a bad incident between us and public transportation and taxi is only allowed if there are urgent situations" her face was sad to remember the incident. Eunwoo knows he was wrong to ask that, because he saw a change of mood in Sejeong, he decided not to ask any further.

Leo came with his car, shouted from inside "Sejeongah!"

"Daddy!" she waved her hand

"Eunwoo, I'm going home first. See you tomorrow" Sejeong smiled at him, the smile that always melted Eunwoo's heart

"Ah yes. Be careful on your way home"

"You too"

-

"Eunwoo?" Leo asked

"Yes, dad"

"He doesn't want to join with us? I can drive him home" Leo helped Sejeong to put her seat belt

"It's okay, his house is in the opposite direction from our house"

"Okay, are we going now?"

"Yes"

-

 

"Hana, huh!" Nayoung hugged her best friend. She hasn't met her for a long time because Nayoung was busy with her project, Hana too. "Ya! Let me go, I can't breathe" she hit her hands

"Hehehe sorry. I miss hanging out with you"

"Me too. How's life?"

"Good. Hana, I want to tell you something"

"What about? Ong?"

"Oh, how do you know? You are a mind reader now?"

"No. Sejeong once told me about him when she called me asking about her homework. She said you were close with Ong" she laughed

"Aish, that kid"

"What would you say?"

"I'm confused by my feelings. He is always there when I need him, he's so care about me. He once said that he would look after me if no one else looked after me." Hana nodded, "I thought I liked him, but half of my heart thought he's just a friend. What should I do? I am confused"

"First, does your heart beat when he's beside you?" Nayoung thought about it, "Second, does he always appear in your mind, suddenly, when you don't mean by to think about him?" Nayoung thought again, "Third, does your feeling change to become calmer and happier when you look into his eyes?" Hana sipped her coffee

"If it happens?" Nayoung asked

"If you feel all of it, that means you really like him. Wait... I think you really fell in love with him. Just look at your expression now, you look very happy. Is Ong coming to your mind now?" Teased Hana

"Yes, Hana. Ong is coming" her eyes opened widely

"Hahahaha you must be really missing him, to the extent that he comes to your mind now" she laughed

"No Hana, Ong really came" she pointed at the cafe door. Hana turned out her head, she choked "Oh my...."

"Oh Nayoung you're here" greeted Ong

"Ah, yes" she panicked, flustered

"Who?" he mouthing to Nayoung

"Ah, this. She is Hana. Hana she's Ong"

"Oh your best friend?" Nayoung nooded

"Hi, I'm Ong Seungwoo. Nice to meet you" he extended his hand

"Hi, I'm Hana. Nice to meet you too" they shook hands

"Want to join us?" Asked Hana

"I want, but sorry I've something to do. I just stopped by to buy coffee" he said a little sad

"I'll join you next time" he smiled

"Are you still working on that project?" Nayoung asked

"Yes, the project is almost complete and I had to finish it before the holiday" explained him

"Mr. Ong" shouted the waiter

"My coffee is ready, I have to go. See you later"

"Yes, see you" Nayoung smiled, her smile still there even when Ong was gone from her sight

"Ya! Ong is gone, don't smile like that, scary" Hana laughing hard. She know Nayoung is in love with him

"Hana ya.. I think I fell in love with him" Nayoung said with a plain tone, her eyes blank, but her words full of sincerely.

"Do you want to be my girlfriend?"

"Your girlfriend? Since when did you start like me?"

"From the first time I saw you"

"Why me? What do you like from me?"

"All. You're smart, beautiful, and have a good personality. That's what makes me fall in love with you"

"......"

"So? Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Yes"

Eunwoo heard all of it. He was on his way to find Sejeong to take her to lunch together, but when he passed in a hallway, he saw Sejeong talking with Doyoung. Doyoung confessed his love, and Sejeong said yes. Instantly his world collapsed, his heart was broken, disappointed, sad, angry, he was late. He immediately left the place, went to the school roof

"Why Sejeong? Why? I know I'm not perfect, but why do you accept him? I think our closeness as long as this means something to you" he was sad, revealing all his disappointments until he skipped his class

 

***

"How?" asked Doyoung

"Good. I think Yeri will accept you, you will get her as your girlfriend soon"

"I hope"

"When will you confess your love?"

"This weekend. I invited her to go to watch a movie. I will confess my love there with flower"

"Awww... Romantic. Good luck to you"

"Thank you Sejeong, you really a good friend"

"You're welcome. By the way, I'm hungry let's go to eat"

"Let's go"

*** 

 

Sejeong came to Chungha's class, they will going hangout together because Chungha has no dance practice. She looked around

"Who are you looking for?" Chungha asked while putting her book in the bag

"Eunwoo. I haven't seen him since lunch time. Usually he came to take me to eat together"

"Oh... what's this? Do you miss him?"

"Not, I just ..."

"I don't know where he is, he skipped the class since lunch time. He doesn't usually like that"

"Skipped class?" Chungha nodded.

Seconds later Eunwoo came to class to pick up his bag "Oh, Eunwoo, where are--" Sejeong stopped her words as Eunwoo gave no response, he took his bag and left the class without speaking, without looking at her.

"What's wrong with him?" Chungha and Sejeong stare at each other, they're confused by Eunwoo's attitude.

-

It's been a week Eunwoo is seen avoiding Sejeong. It's been a week Eunwoo doesn't accompany Sejeong waiting for her dad in front of the school. Eunwoo hasn't come to her class for a week to take her to eat together. It's been a week Eunwoo didn't send a message to Sejeong. And for one week Sejeong thought about it unconsciously.

"Eunw--" Sejeong called Eunwoo, but he turned around

"Eunw--" Sejeong greeted him, but this time he passed without looking at her

"Eunwoo!" Sejeong stood up from her chair when she saw Eunwoo coming to her class, but Eunwoo didn't  give a respond, he came only to return the book to Sejeong's classmate, then left. A week before holiday, she will not meet Eunwoo again at school and possibly out of school because on holiday, Leo and her will to go on vacation to LA.

"Chungha"

"Hmmm"

"Chungha"

"Hmmmm"

"Ya! Kim Chungha" Sejeong closed Chungha's book

"Why????" she whined

"Don't ignore me" she pouting

"Hehehe, sorry, why? Something happened to you? You seems upset"

"Yes, do you know what happened to Eunwoo? He was seen avoiding me this week. Did I do something wrong that make him mad at me?"

"Why do you ask me? You are more often hangout with him"

"That's it. I don't know if there is something wrong with us because I couldn't ask him" she looked sad

"Wait, why do you suddenly feel sad when Eunwoo doesn't bother you? Usually you are always upset when he always goes wherever you go and sends you messages every day" Sejeong gulped, nervous, she didn't know what happened to her

"Not like that, I just don't want our friendship to be like this. A week away before a vacation, we won't meet again because dad and me will to go to LA"

"Wow, so you will go? I think you didn't want to go. I remember you really want to spend your holiday in Seoul"

"That was before Eunwoo avoided me, but I think I'll feel better if I go with daddy. Beside he forced me to go, because me and my dad hadn't been on vacation together for a long time"

"Nayoung unnie?"

"She will go to Jeju for a project, so I only go alone with my dad. How about you?"

"I'll go back to Texas, I miss my family"

"Ah, you must be very happy to meet your parents" she smiled

"Yeah, it's been a long time. I miss them" 

-

Eunwoo really avoided Sejeong, no matter how he continued to dodge it. He occasionally saw Sejeong and Doyoung laughing together in class, joking, looking happy. "Are you that happy with him? I hope you're happy with your choice" He spoke, he's sad.

While Sejeong? She had tried to approach Eunwoo, but her attempt failed. So she let this situation, she was tired, confused, she thought that Eunwoo needed time to talk to her again. The holiday period will come, and she just wants to enjoy it with pleasure.

-

 

"Unnie, you really can't come along? I'll feel lonely" Sejeong pouted

"Sorry Sejeong. I can't come with you this time. You can have fun with daddy" she ruffled her sister's hair

"Of course, daddy will ma
