Still feeling weird from Hyosung's hug a while ago, Daehyun was just staring outside the window of his car. His friends also staring and grinning at him like he won a very big lottery prize. Sighing heavily, he turned his head towards his friends and shot them a glare "Quit staring, will you.?!"

"You're happy right.?" Youngjae asked, smiling cheekily

He narrowed his eyebrows at him "Why would I.?"

"Eeeeyy. Don't hide it you punk.! We know that you liked the way Hyosung hugged you 20 minutes ago" Himchan said, grinning

"No I don't" he denied

"Yes you do" Himchan insisted "Why do you keep on denying it.? Are you really that afraid to actually like a GIRL.? For the past years that we've been friends, I really thought you were homo, you know. But now, I think I was wrong. It's not really that bad to have someone you cherish for the rest of your life Daehyun-ah. Besides, Hyosung is a sweet girl"

"Hyung.! You're such an idiot.! I'm 1005 sure that I'm not a homo even before we became friends.!" 

Himchan smirked "So does that mean you like Hyosung.? You like the way she hugged you right.? Right.?"

"No I don't"

"Yes you do"

"No"

"Yes"

"No.!"

"Yes you do"

"Himchan. Stop it. You're making Daehyun confused" Yongguk interrupted, chuckling

"I won't stop unless this punk admits it" Himchan replied. "Yes you like it Daehyun-ah"

"Hyung, I don't"

"Yes you do"

"No.! I don't"

"No you don't"

"Yes I do.!"

"HAAA.! You said YES.! No taking back.!" Himchan laughed. "Daehyun admitted it.!!"

Feeling dumbfounded, he bit his lip as he closed his eyes, irritated at his friends constant teasing

" Are you by chance falling for her.?" Youngjae teased. "Cause it seems like she likes you too"

He kept quiet for a moment, looking down at the black carpeted car floor "She likes Yoseob hyung. No one will ever like me. I'm the Dark Lord"

Yongguk immediately nudged Youngjae for bringing the topic up, giving him a 'look-what-you-did' face "Look what you've done" he whispered

"Aahh. Booyyaa.! That's not a reason for someone not to like you" Himchan exclaimed. "Any girl would like you"

"Let's end this discussion" Daehyun said firmly

The whole ride, they remained quiet as they went to their destination. The others tried to bring Daehyun's mood up by talking something else which they successfully did. Meanwhile, in school, Hyosung was walking down the hallway, smiling like an idiot and staring at LUCKY on her wrist

"Unnie.! Unnie.! Unnie.!" someone called her from behind

She turned around to receive a big hug from IU "You did great in your Math exam I heard. Congrats"

"This little girl over here kept calling my name awhile ago just to hear the good news. Seriously loud in the classroom" Jieun giggled

"It's alright unnie. The others doesn't seem to notice it" IU said, smiling

"Gomawo IU" Hyosung smiled widely

"Oooooooohhh.! Did something else happen.? Something glorious that I don't know about.?" IU cooed

"I. . . . .I hugged your oppa" she admitted

"YOU DID WHAT.?!" Jieun yelled first

"WHAT.?!! YOU HUGGED OPPA.?!" IU shouted

Hearing IU's loud voice, she quickly covered "Ssshhh.!"

IU grabbed her hand away from her own lips as she grinned widely "You hugged Daehyun oppa.?!" she whispered

Nodding her head in response, she smiled 

"Then what happened.?! Did he push you or something.?" IU asked

She shook her head, smiling even wider because he had not pushed her "Nothing. He just stood there. Letting me hug him"

"Hmm. That's for a change. A good change" Jieun said, crossing her arms together

"Oh my gosh.! Oh my gosh.! Oh my gosh.! This is so exciting.!!" IU squealed

~~~~~~~

The next day, Daehyun and Hyosung acted like nothing had happened, more like Daehyun just acting it all out on his own. They were back on their daily conversations, plainly talking and bickering at each other. "Yah pabo girl.! I told you to do this properly, now it won't fit perfectly with the mechanics for the project. You're such a pabo"

"YAH.! I did do it properly you insensitive jerk.!" Hyosung yelled "You can tell it to me nicely you know, you don't have to shout"

"I wouldn't have shouted at you if you just did your work properly pabo girl.!"

"YAH.!"

Himchan looked at the two bickering couple, leaning his back against the wall "Okay, so maybe I was wrong. Maybe they don't like each other that much"

"Open your eyes hyung. Can't you see Daehyun's expression.? He's smiling. He's totally enjoying their fight" Youngjae chuckled

"I wonder when will those two be together" Himchan said

"I hope soon. But . . . . ."

"But what Youngjae.? Do you like Hyosung too.?" 

"Shut up hyung. It's Yoseob hyung"

"What about Yoseob.?"

"He likes Hyosung too remember.?"

"Open your eyes Youngjae, just look at how those two enjoy being with each other. They're fighting too much that they don't notice we're talking about them. And we're just near them.!!" Himchan laughed, making his voice louder for the two to hear but failed. "See what I mean.?"

"Okay class. I'm here. Back to your seat. Daehyun and Hyosung, stop arguing again. You have enough life time to do that, just not in my class" Mr. Jason said, smirking at the two

Youngjae chuckled "Even Mr. Jason can see it"

"Back to business. You all know that you are graduating students. It's a little early for this but the school wanted to do this in a matter of days. So the graduation trip will be this weekend" Mr. Jason explained

All the student's cheered, chattering about the fun moments they wanna do during the 1 week graduation trip in 3 different countries. "What countries are gonna go to sir.?" one student asked

Mr. Jason looked through the thin sheet paper he was holding "We. . . .are going to Rome, Paris and U.S.A"

"Aish.! I've already been there" Himchan whined

"YAH Kim Himchan. I'm warning you, if you don't come to this trip, you're gonna have to repeat"

"Repeat.?!"

"Yes, repeat" Mr. Jason smiled. "Now, in this trip, it would just be our class. The school administration confirmed this so that each class would really enjoy the trip. So being in the 1st class, we are gonna go with the trip first. Remind you, if you can't come, no graduation for you. We meet at Saturday here in school, 6 am sharp. If you have any concerns furthermore, just ask me. That's everyhting, okay get out"

Hyosung grabbed her bag and walked towards her teacher "Uumm Mr. Jason"

"Yes Hyosung.?" Mr. Jason smiled

"Ab-about the trip. I-I really can't afford to go. The expenses are too much and even if I work my off, the money I would get won't be enough"

Mr. Jason chuckled, looking at Jieun's direction "Jieun-ah.! Come here.!"

Jieun ran towards them, setting her bag on the table "What is it Mr. Jason.?"

"Kindly explain here to Hyosung the EXPENSES about the graduation trip"

"Oh the trip.? It's for free. The school pays for it. For the transportations, the food, the hotel, everything" Jieun explained

"Re-reaally.?!" Hyosung asked, bewildered

"Really" Jieun and Mr. Jason replied in unison

~~~~~~~

"I'm jealous" IU pouted

Hyosung glanced at her, furrowing her eyebrows "Why.? Haven't you been to those places.?"

"I have. I'm jealous because I can't go with you unnies"

"Too bad this is only for seniors. Don't worry, we can just have our own trip" Jieun smiled

"Omo.! You're right unnie.! And we can bring the oppa's too. It would be so much fun" IU squealed. "You'll come too unnie right.?! Right.?! Right.?!"

"I'm not really sure. It depends though" Hyosung answered

"Aaaaaaahhh waaaee.??!! You have to come.!! You have to.!" IU whined. "Even if you say no, I'm gonna have to drag you. Even if it's by force"

"Ooooohh. The Candy Fairy is threating me" she teased

"Unniieeeee.! You seriously have to come.!"

"Arasso. Arasso. I'll come" she laughed

Two days had passed, it was already the day for their graduation trip. Hyosung managed to have an important leave from her work since Jieun convinced them herself. But at some point, she didn't want to go because she's now worried of leaving her appa all alone in the house, but lucky enough, her appa said that he's going to another seminar that will take for about 8 days. Walking happily to the school entrance gate, she waved at Jieun who was waiting for her "Jieun-ah.!"

"All ready.?" Jieun asked

She nodded her head, tapping her suitcase "All ready"

"Let's go. The others are waiting in the bus. Lucky we're very early" Jieun smiled

"This is gonna be exciting.!" She grinned. The two of them went inside the bus with the others. After 20 minutes of waiting, all of them went to the airport and got in line as Mr. Jason passed them their plane seats/tickets

"Alright everyone.! Don't you dare lose your ticket.! And I have some quick announcement. Whoever will be the person you're gonna sit next to in the plane will be your partner. You will be with your partner throughout the trip, gonna be responsible with each other when the other is not feeling well or sick. Okay.?! Everyone got that.?" Mr. Jason said

"NEH.!" the students replied

Youngjae stood beside Mr. Jason and stared at the tickets as he passed it to each students "Mr. Jason, are you passing the tickets in order.? Or just randomly.?" 

"In order" 

He quickly nodded his head and ran to Himchan and Yongguk "Hyung.! Hyung.! Mr. Jason is passing the tickets in order"

"So.?" Yongguk asked, narrowing his eyebrows

"Let's make Daehyun and Hyosung get their tickets last, so they'll be partners"

Himchan shook Youngjae's arm in excitement "That's a good idea.! Let's do it.! Let's.! Let's.!"

"YAH. Yongguk and Himchan, stop talking. Your tickets" Mr. Jason interrupted

Youngjae glanced behind his shoulder and noticed that Daehyun was last in the line, when it was Hyosung and Jieun's turn to get their tickets, he quickly grabbed Hyosung's 'supposed-to-be' ticket "Oh. F-9, I hope you don't mind if I take this Hyosung-ah. I really like this seat"

"It's alright. No worries" Hyosung smiled. "Guess we won't be able to sit next to each other" she giggled at Jieun

Jieun pouted, puffing her cheeks "Aaahh. Booyyaaa.!!"

"YAH.! Don't whine.! Let's go.!" Youngjae smirked as he dragged Jieun away

Mr. Jason chuckled, realizing what Youngjae did, he looked at the two remaining tickets in his hand and turned his head up to the two students left "Daehyun and Hyosung, you're in seat J-15 and J-16"

"What.?!" Daehyun shrieked

"Hey, it's not my fault you guys were the last one in line. Might as well stick to it. Goodluck to the both of you. Chop chop, let's go"

Daehyun and Hyosung sat hesistantly on their seats, with Hyosung near the window and Daehyun near the isle. "So does this mean we're gonna share the same room too.?" Hyosung asked

Daehyun literally laughed on the inside, how could she possibly ask that question.? "YAH.! Are you really that stupid.? You really think Mr. Jason would allow that.? Think, will you.?!"

"I was just asking.!" she said, irritated

"Why.? Do you wanna share a room with me pabo girl.?" he asked jokingly

"You're so full of yourself Dark Lord" she replies, grinning
