* ShinAe's thoughts will be in red and MinWoo's thoughts will be in blue.

Standing by the school gate, ShinAe bade goodbye to her friends. She watched as her friends waved and walked away before she turned to leave in the other direction. She sighed. ShinAe hated having to go home alone. She looked down and started kicking the fallen leaves on the pavement as she continued on her way to the bus stop, alone.

She stopped at the pedestrian crossing, waiting for the red light to turn green when the bus came driving in round the corner. *Oh no! I'll miss the bus!* She looked around, seeing no cars, she took a step forward, ready to ignore that red light there and go for her bus. However, before she could take another step forward, she was stopped by someone who grabbed her by her wrist. Shocked, she turned around to face a smiling MinWoo.

" Trying to jaywalk? That's illegal. "

" S-sunbae? " ShinAe stuttered, feeling nervous that she was just caught jaywalking by her crush.

" Are you going home? " MinWoo asked, watching the bus as it drove past. "I think we live near each other, I could wait for the bus with you." He continued, turning back to the girl and giving her a smile.

*Go home with him?* ShinAe couldn't help but to smile back in return and nodded.

The two of them then sat down at the bench in the bus stop, waiting for the next bus. They got really nervous and shy, they didn't dare to look at each other. It was the second time they're sitting right beside each other, and it got their heart racing so much.

" So sunbae, are you going home now? " ShinAe tried to start a conversation with her crush. She looked blankly at MinWoo for a few seconds before giving herself a knock on her head. "Aish, he already said he was going home!" She then turned away feeling embarrassed.

" It's alright. " MinWoo smiled, trying to ease the embarrasment the girl was feeling. Seeing his heart-fluttering smile once again, ShinAe couldn't help but to smile back before quickly turning away to hide her blush.

The bus soon came and they settled down on the seats at the back of the bus. ShinAe smiled to herself, excited to be sitting so close to her crush.

" You look really happy. " MinWoo commented, looking at the smiling girl beside him.

ShinAe was shocked by the sudden comment, she couldn't possibly tell him that he's her crush. ShinAe stuttered " I-I was just... I was just not sad... " She frowned at how silly her own explanation sounded. MinWoo gave a small chuckle, amused by the girl beside him. *Why is she just so cute?*

As though he just remembered something depressing, he looked down, his smile fading. " I heard you're going to the movies with JongUp tomorrow. "

" Yup, will you be coming too? Since you're his cousin. " ShinAe smiled.

MinWoo turned away. " He didn't ask me. "

ShinAe quietly nodded, feeling disappointed. *I thought he was going to come. Now there's no reason for me to go.*

" Help me tell JongUp sanbaenim that I'm not going tomorrow. " ShinAe looked up. " I have to meet up with Zelo for a project on that day. "
