Despite being trapped with L every afternoon for detention, Jessica had already adjusted to her new life in Seoul. She got along well with most of her peers and her grades were exceptionally well.  L was still feeling guilty for embarrassing Jessica in front of everyone but he still couldn’t gather his courage to apologize to her.

The pair was slacking off in the dissection room, where they should really be cleaning.

“Ahh~ aircon ~” Jessica said cutely to herself as she stood directly below the aircon. L chuckled at the sight in front of him,

“Who knew you could be so cute?” He accidently mumbled loud enough for Jessica to hear. He cleared his throat and awkwardly avoided Jessica’s gaze. Jessica let out a disgusted grunt and rolled her eyes,

“Shut up. I didn’t ask you to speak” She grumbled coldly.

L heaved a sigh and approached Jessica, “Look… I’m sorry for treating you the way I did the other day…I guess I just wasn’t thinking… I’m sorry Jessica”

Jessica stood still, stunned at what had just come out of L’s mouth. A cheeky smile could be seen on her face,

“Wow… did the Almighty L, kingka of SNU, just apologized to Jessica, the new girl? I’m impressed” she said sarcastically.

“Or have you fallen for my charms?” She added and mocked him.

L rolled his eyes, “I’m just doing this because of Woohyun hyung. I don’t want to fight with him anymore. It’s up to you if you want to accept my apology or not. Goodbye.”

Jessica let out an angelic giggle as she watched L’s back move towards the exit.

“Yah! I was only playing with you!” She called after him.

Jessica stopped in front of L with a wide grin on her face.

“You have to buy me ice cream if you want to be forgiven ~” Jessica said, using her best aegyo to convince L. The latter smiled and continued staring at Jessica,

[FLASHBACK]

“Sooyeonie, you look ugly in that dress!” Little Myungsoo teased his friend as they walked to school together. Sooyeon stopped walking, causing Myungsoo to turn around and look at her. Sooyeon was pouting and stomping her little feet on the gravel.

“I’m not ugly!”
