“h-hi~” said Hyerin and waved beautifully at him.*should I say hi to her too?* thought Ljoe. he’s looking at her with his cold face. Hyerin look at his face *cold face* thought Hyerin “well, I should go… sorry if im disturbing you~” said Hyerin.

When she was about to go, she heard Ljoe’s voice “hi to you too….” Said Ljoe. *his voice!* thought Hyerin happily. And that made her stopped leaving the place. She turned the balls of her feet and saw Ljoe facing down.

“hi.” Said Ljoe *sh*t I could say much better than that!* thought Ljoe in frustrated. “hi! Urmmm you want to sit there all the time? You should sit on that bench over there~” said Hyerin. Ljoe got up and sit on the bench. *wow I just talked to him!* said Hyerin.

“He has something to do… what about you? Where’s your friend?” asked Ljoe *wow, I just asked her…*thought Ljoe “you mean… Jaerin? She’s absent today~” said Hyerin “usually I will recess at the cafeteria but im alone today, so I have my recess here! Then, I saw you~” said Hyerin.
