“Two cokes, please” Hoya smiled to the girl behind the counter.

After Hyungsik had interrupted the two boys twice they decided to head out. The couple decide to go to a café outside of campus to get something to drink. They needed to cool down, if it was because of the hot summer air or the previous events of the day was unclear.

“Here you go” the girl handed Hoya the two cokes and finished off with a wink. Hoya let out an awkwardly chuckle before he headed to the table that Dongwoo had chosen, the one in the corner without any windows. It was a round table with a horseshoe shaped couch around.
