"Go to the mall with me this saturday?" Myungsoo asked, his head tilted to the side. Jieun and Myungsoo were both eating at Jieun's favorite ramen store. 'I would have confessed after we ate but now he's just a close friend that is out of my limit.'

Her lips formed a tight smile, her eyes on the ramen bowl that hasn't been touched yet. "Sure" He patted her head. "Thanks babe, I need your help" Now her eyes met his.

"What for?" Myungsoo smirked. "I'm going out with Suzy on Sunday and I thought I should get her something" He clicked his tongue.

"But what the hell do I know about girls?" Jieun felt a pang in her heart again, as if it's not bad enough that he's not interested in her at all, but now she has pick out something nice for his girlfriend?

He rolled his eyes jokingly and nodded. "Of course, princess. Now go to sleep" It was her turn to nod. "See you at school!" ...with Suzy she wanted to add but chose not to. "Too impatient now eh, Lee Jieun?" He smirked and Jieun's cheeks were flaming red. 

"Jieun,"
