I felt gradually better and actually can move around the house to do laundry. Happy, Junhyung takes me out for dinner on thursday night. I wore 

casual clothes as he told me not to dress up. Content with beige pants and cream cardigan, he brought me to the streets of seoul I've always wanted to

explore. I gape at the lights brightly lit in the dark, illuminating the streets, giving you the warm, home feel. Junhyung smiles to himself, amused at

my in awe expression. The ride in his car was short. He stops in front of a small, retro cafe. I eagerly step out of his car and breathe in the calm

atmosphere of the streets. He steps out of the car and grins at me. I ducked my head, embarrassed at being so new to these things. I went over to his

side and we entered the cafe. The smell of ramen and soju fills my nose. A warm glow spread over my body. Perfect. I thought. Just like home. The

cafe was very calm and peaceful. Soft music playing in the background. I felt touched, that Junhyung going through all the trouble, just so I could

see Seoul. I meet his eyes and gave him a shy smile. He stares at me for a moment and slowly smiles back. My cheeks burn, my heart racing. Why

am i feeling this way?

A waiter arrives and brings the menu but Junhyung waves him away.

"There are some people coming too." He says politely. The waiter nods and shuffles away. I knit my eyebrows. Who?

"Who else is coming?" I ask him. He gives me a private smile.

"They should be here, any moment now." He says calmly. I tilt my head, he didn't tell me it wasn't a date for the two of us.

Suddenly, Junhyung stands and grins to someone behind me. I turn and got the second shock of my life. My body froze,  I think I stopped breathing.

There stood Niel and CAP, my old friends, their expressions mirrored to mine.

---

Niel is taller than CAP, which surprised me. His hair is pulled into a short ponytail at the back, and CAP's hair has grown and is styled neatly to the

side. Swallowing my tears and burning throat, I pull them in for a long hug. I hold back my tears as I pull away from them. Then I turn to Junhyung

questioningly. He avoids my gaze and offer CAP and Niel seats.

When Junhyung meets my eyes, I mouth a thank-you at him. Grateful he didn't report them to the police as they were the ones who attempted to steal 

his car.

CAP shifts in his seat uncomfortably and spoke, "Junhyung-shii, um, first off, thank you for-you know, forgiving us. What we did was wrong." CAP

says quietly.

Niel nods in agreement. "And offering us the mechanic job. Thank you, really." Niel adds. I blinked,confused. Since when did they have a

conversation? And what mechanic job, I wondered. The food we ordered arrived and cut my thoughts off.

---

"Go take a walk with them. Talk to them. I know they're awkward if I'm around. Go." Junhyung urges me to go to Niel and CAP.

I look up at him, unsure. Junhyung gives a small wave and slid into his car, driving away shortly. I look back at my old friends. The ones who got

me in trouble but were the first friends I made.

"Let's go have some old fun." Niel grins at me, breaking out from his polite trance when we were with Junhyung. I glance warily at CAP, who

merely smile slyly.

Looking at them, I laugh and pull Niel's arm. "Well, show me the way!"
