The Closer I GetLoud music was bursting inside Soo Jung's room and Mrs. Jung was a bit annoyed by it. Calling her from outside. Soo Jung was still in her bed, remembering the day Su Min confronted her. It's been 3 days since that happened. She haven't seen Jae Hyun. The school outing is also coming in a few days, Soo Jung's parents allowed her to go, thanks to Jae Hyun over the phone.
Soo Jung decided to go out, while she was walking a familiar face was coming near towards her, and shouting her name from a far.
Soo Jung: "Ji Ho?!"
Ji Ho was running with a smile to her and he brought something.
Ji Ho: "Hi!"
Soo Jung: "Why you come here?"
Ji Ho: "I came here to see my friend, why?"
Then suddenly from the other side, Soo Jung noticed Jae Hyun. Ji Ho doesn't know that they were neighbors. Soo Jung clings in to Ji Ho's arms and said
Soo Jung: "Ah! let's go somewhere, I will show you my favorite record shop here." while dragging him
Ji Ho: "Why so sudden? I brought us food to eat"
Jae Hyun noticed and greeted them. Ji Ho was surprised that he was there.
Jae Hyun: "Hey! hyung, hi! Soo Jung"
Ji Ho: "Oh! Jae I didn't know you also in here?"
Soo Jung was making hand gestures to Jae Hyun that he supposed not to tell that they were neighbors.
Jae Hyun: "Uhm...I came here because...I have an aunt here"
Soo Jung felt relieved and they continued with their conversation.
Jae Hyun: "What are you doing in here hyung?"
Ji Ho put his arms in to Soo Jung's shoulder and said
Ji Ho: "We will have a date today"
Soo Jung was surprised as well as Jae Hyun
Soo Jung: "What date?!" then Ji Ho make happy smiles to her.
Jae Hyun: "Oh...sorry to bother you for a while, I should go now and meet my aunt"
Ji Ho: "Jae! you didn't want to come with us? Eat together somehow?"
Jae Hyun looked at them and he seems thinking if he will accept the offer. Soo Jung looked at Jae Hyun, and he seems serious.
Jae Hyun: "Maybe next time....I have to go somewhere after this...I have to go now, bye and see you at school."

Ji Ho: "Hey, do you want to sit with me in the bus?"
Soo Jung: "I thought the seating arrangement is already fixed."
Ji Ho: "Really?"
Soo Jung: "I think you're not listening that time"
Ji Ho: "I guess so" and he laughs

Ji Ho: "Soo Jung...can we do this sometimes?"
Soo Jung stop eating her food and looked at Ji Ho then Ji Ho's face came closer to her, and they face each other with just a few distance between them.

Soo Jung was just staring at him, didn't know what she will say to him. Then Ji Ho pats her hair and smiled
