“It’s okay Nari.. I’ll teach you.” Daehyun take pencil and start teaching her. Nari sit beside Daehyun silently listen to what Daehyun said.

“Op- oh.” You walk inside Daehyun’s class and saw them studying. You look at Nari, who silently glancing at Daehyun. You smile. Nari eonni like Daehyun. From they know each other. Nari is a shy girl with Daehyun and Daehyun always bullied her. You walk to library leaving them alone.

 

You study some more while waiting for Daehyun to finish before asleep. You feel a sudden cold on your cheek. You quickly awake and look. Himchan, smiling at you with coffee milk can.

 

“Here you go..” He put the drink and sit in front of you. You rub your eyes and checking if you drooled. Himchan take your book and check it.

“Reenie?” You quickly pack up your things and run to Daehyun. You hug his arm.

 

“Eomma appa have a conference night. What should we eat tonight?” You look at him. Daehyun thinks.

 

“Pizza?”

 

“Chicken?”
