“SARANG~!” Jongup sang as he literally ran to the door and flung it open. I rolled my eyes and forced myself not to bury my face in the pillow I was holding. At exactly five in the afternoon, Lee Sarang came. Whoopty freaking doo.

I examined her thoroughly, my eyes turning into slits. Daehyun and the others approached her and greeted her cheerfully. Yongguk smiled and his gums could be seen. He didn’t smile like that before.

Lee Sarang was going to be a challenge. She had freckles, wavy brown hair, friendly brown eyes and a smile that could melt any ice. She had a short height, but she looked like she was born to dance.

She wore a baggy t-shirt, brown leggings, fashionable brown boots and leather MCM bag. She greeted every member with smiles and hugs. My heart dropped as I realized she was kind-hearted. I could’ve hated her easier if she was rude.

I bit my pillow, trying not to scream.

“Namjoo! Come here and meet Rara!” Himchan exclaimed happily, smiling at Sarang. She turned to me and grinned. She looked around 17 or 18? Eh, I don’t care. I’m not using formalities with her.

What the heck are you doing Namjoo? Are you going to let that bother you?

I got up from the couch hastily and approached her cautiously, with a big fake smile on my face. I wasn’t ready, but I had to be.

I stopped in front of her. I was a little taller than her, just by a couple of inches.

“Kim Namjoo” I greeted as friendly as I can, extending my hand out. She took it and shook it so hard my brain moved around in my skull. She finally let go as I pulled back quickly. I swore I heard the Ice Prince chuckle. However, when I glanced at him, he looked at Sarang with… admiration.

“I’ve heard so much about you! You’re very pretty in real life!” She complimented her voice a little bit deeper than most females. Damn, why should she be this perfect?!

“Thank you,” I said curtly, flashing another fake smile.

“You look so stiff noona; you could pass off as a statue.” Jongup snickered as I glared at him. He scowled back and stuck his tongue out.

“Anyway, let’s set up the place! I get bored easily. Come on Jongie, let’s set up the Wii!” Sarang exclaimed like a child, dropping her bag on my feet and zooming towards the TV area. I groaned as I reached down, determined to throw this bag away. It was like a cannonball that was dropped on my feet.

“Don’t you dare touch her bag!” Zelo shouted suddenly, grabbing the bag and rushing towards Sarang who was asking for it. I blinked at them in surprise. He never said anything like that to me. Something was not right.

“Hey. Stop standing there like an idiot.” Daehyun snapped me back to my senses as I turned around to see him beside the door. He was leaning on the wall, smiling at Sarang even though he talked to me. I rolled my eyes. Great, even I was beneath anyone’s notice when she’s here.

“I don’t care. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll lock myself in the room,”

“No. You’re not going to do that,”

“And why won’t I?”

“Because your three friends are here,” Daehyun announced as the doorbell rang for the second time. I glared suspiciously at the Ice Prince as he shrugged and passed by me, helping Sarang.

I looked sadly at the group who was avidly talking to Sarang except Daehyun who was standing behind her, not speaking. Why wouldn’t they notice me anymore?

I sighed and tore my eyes away. This is exactly the reason why I invited the trio over. I opened the door, greeted by three smiling faces.

Minhwa was wearing a leather jacket over her blue t-shirt, sweatpants and running shoes. She didn’t bother with make up, yet she still looked pretty. Jaehyun had a black jacket over his white t-shirt, black skinny jeans and neon green shoes. His brown, wind swept hair was perfect was always.

There was a girl too; who I’m guessing is Jaehyun’s sister. She wore a white, baggy t-shirt with a heart design, jeans and pink shoes. Her hair was tied up in a bun, but her bangs remained above her eyes. She wore square spectacles too.

“Come in guys!” I greeted, loud enough for B.A.P to hear. I could almost see them turn their heads towards my direction as the three shyly step in their dorm. Well, maybe Jaehyun and his sister. Minhwa practically stormed in, seating her self on the couch.

“Hey Namjoo, who’s that?” Jongup asked rudely, raising his eyebrows. I looked quickly at Sarang’s expression before I answered. She looked blankly at us, as if she didn’t care. I grit my teeth as my bad, egoistic side came out. If they wanted to ignore me for her, fine. Two can play at that game.

“Remember Jaehyun? The guy I met in the mall? That’s his sister,” I introduced, gesturing to the both of them.

“Hello!” They greeted respectfully, bowing. They stayed like that until Sarang spoke up.

“They’re funny! Why are they still like that?” Sarang made fun of them, laughing. Jongup laughed along with her, followed by Zelo. Yongguk and Himchan remained quiet, as if they didn’t know what to do. However, Daehyun and Youngjae joined in the laughter.

I didn’t want to be rude, so I it up and gestured for the two to stop bowing. Jaehyun was still smiling, though her sister looked shy that she was made fun of.

“Because they’re respectful,” I answered her question. She smirked at me.

“Ooo, looks like someone is grumpy,” She teased, smiling. That smile didn’t look so friendly anymore. It was more like a challenging one.

Try me, Namjoo. I have six oppas to back me up, what do you have? Her smile said to me.

“A fist,” I said through clenched teeth. This girl was hiding behind her fake act. She did act kind. However, only to the people liked. She was probably a backstabber in real life. I’m sorry if I judged her too early. It’s just what I observed from her since I got here. Yeah, it was just an observation.

“Anyways, we’ll be in the kitchen, baking cupcakes. Anyone want to come?” I asked happily, bouncing on my heels. I smiled brightly at them, but this time it wasn’t fake. I really wanted them to join me.

“I want to!” Zelo piped up, scrambling on his feet. I smiled gratefully at him. I looked at Minhwa for confirmation. She was smiling at Zelo amusedly, meaning she was cool with it.

“Then, let’s go!” I announced, pumping my fist in the air. Zelo, Minhwa, Jaehyun and his sister made sounds of agreement as we ran towards the kitchen.

“YAH! DON’T DESTROY MY KITCHEN!” I heard Himchan shout. I just smiled.

“No, no! NO! Jaeroo! You’re not supposed to overfill it!” I scolded as Jaehyun filled the cupcake liner too much.

“Oops, sorry puppy!” Jaehyun apologized, pouting. I chuckled and went to assist him. I heard Minhwa laugh at Zelo who had flour on his nose. Zelo dumped flour on Minhwa’s head, laughing as he did so.

I bit my lip from laughing as Minhwa chased Zelo around the counter, telling him how he will die in her hands. Weird kid.

“Oppa, you’re so clumsy!” Park Jiae, Jaehyun’s sister told him gently as Jaehyun almost knocked down the bowl. I giggled at Jaehyun’s red face. Being told by your own younger sister is embarrassing.

“Sorry! I was just looking at Namjoongie then I..I-“ Jaehyun stuttered, making me laugh a bit. His cheeks went red as he shuffled his feet. Cute.

“Come on Jaeroo, let’s finish this together,” I told him gently. I avoided Minhwa who was already squirting frosting at Zelo. Jiae rolled her eyes and watched the cupcakes that were in the oven.

I put my hands on top of his and guided him in filling the cupcake liners. His hands felt warm and soft, that I wanted to let go and hold it. I mentally slapped myself.

Great a grip Namjoo

“And.. done!” I announced happily as we successfully filled the cupcake liners with the batter. I gave the tray to Jiae who put it aside, waiting for the tray that was still in the oven.

“NAMJOO! COME HERE!” I heard Yongguk order. I rolled my eyes and exited the kitchen area to attend his needs. They were playing on the Wii, Himchan versus Youngjae. Sarang was making fun of Youngjae who was losing. I saw Youngjae’s annoyed expression, but decided not to comment on it.

“What do you want?” I asked in a bored tone.

“Buy some groceries for tonight. Go with Dae and Sarang,” Yongguk told me. Something about his voice told me he needed… help. I noticed that he didn’t call Sarang, ‘Rara’ or something like that. Maybe because he was uncomfortable?

Nah. Three years of friendship is too long for someone to feel uncomfortable in that relationship.

“Can Jaehyun come too?” I asked hopefully. I didn’t want to act as a third wheel. It would be awkward.

“No!” Daehyun protested loudly as Sarang answered with a loud “Yes!”

I looked back and forth between the two, deciding.

“I’ll call Jaero- I mean Jaehyun now,” I told them as I turned my back and called Jaehyun from the kitchen area. He abandoned Jiae and the couple, and went over to me.

“Yep?” He asked, leaning on the doorway.

“Up for grocery shopping?” I asked him, giving him a hopeful look.

“Sure, as long as you’re with me.” Jaehyun blushed at his own words and looked down. I looked at him amusedly. He was funny and cute at the same time.

“Let’s go then!” I shouted happily, wrapping one arm around Jaehyun’s arm. We skipped like little kids across the living room and out the door, not even caring if Daehyun and Sarang were still behind us.

“What a bunch of kids.” Sarang sniffed, giving us a revolted look.

“I wish I could be part of that bunch,” Daehyun said quietly, though Sarang didn’t hear.

“What did you say oppa?” Sarang asked, her voice altering a bit. The tone became girlier.

“Nothing,” Daehyun coldly said as he started following us, leaving Sarang behind.

“YAH! Wait for me!”
