Hours by hours flies so damn fast, make Music Club’s members surprised at how long they’ve been talking about the end-year project. All of them excitedly talk over about it, except Yuna who just following around the conversation blankly – wondering when will this all going to end.

“Let’s end it here. I take in all of your amazing ideas, and I’ll find a best way to make it all realized.” Jihoon officially ended the discussion. The members then hurriedly clear their things and stuffs, getting ready to leave to Jihoon’s mother restaurant, can’t wait any longer to taste the legendary Lee’s noodle.

Yuna that earlier was such in gloomy aura now brightened in instant. She is seriously so hungry now to the point that going with these new people doesn’t matter anymore.

All of them surprised when going out from the school building, realizing that they sure talk a lot that even the sun is about to set. Yuna quickly text her mom when they’re waiting for the bus, make sure to let her know or else her mom will call police to search her. Yeah, her mom is that kind of mom.

“The bus is here!” Seungkwan shouted.

“Hurry, get in.” Jihoon commanded, letting those younger get in first. Eunha come in first and when she was about to ask Yuna to sit with her, Mingyu flopped himself beside her. She doesn’t have a time to protest though as Yuna already has her seat, and Seokmin sit beside her right after. Jihoon sits with Seungkwan (as Sinbi quickly shoo away Seungkwan when he about to sit with her and pull Yerin as replacement), and the rest members of Yuna still doesn’t know their name yet already seated too.

“Yah! Why are you sits here? I want to sit with Yuna.” Eunha whispered. Mingyu just look at her lazily. “C’mon, you sit with her all day long. Give that girl a break.”

“Why do I have to give her a break? I don’t give her difficulties or anything near like that.”

Mingyu who earlier shut his eyes now opened his eyes again and sighed. “Do I have to exchange the seat because you want it right now so you could stop talk for a while and let me in peace?”

“If you want a peace you shouldn’t sit here at the first place.”

“I just sit here because this is the first empty seat that I saw earlier okay? Do we have to fight over this also?”

“No, you don’t have so shut up, you two. It’s just a seat!” Sinbi shot a death glare to Eunha-Mingyu that sit beside her.

“Woah, I can’t believe she said it’s just a seat when she just kicked me out earlier.” Seungkwan mocked her class-seat-mate, feels so satisfied as he could give Sinbi a quick karma.

Jihoon, knowing best that her mates are such a noisy and annoying person they are – especially when it’s already dark and the worst part of it that they’re all hungry – didn’t even try to shut them up and just put the earphones, soon after only loud music could be heard. Yerin just laughing at how they continuously bickering, the rest of the members are busy talking – luckily – with a good terms, and Seokmin just being himself – struggling to find a topic to talk about. When he just opened his mouth, Yuna’s head suddenly swinging to the left, almost hit the bus window if Seokmin a second late to reached out of his hand to block the window.

Seokmin couldn’t believe Yuna fell asleep almost in instant. Even when Sinbi and Seungkwan double with Eunha and Mingyu are fighting over and cause such noises, she remains unbothered. When the bus turn to left her head is swinging again, make Seokmin in reflect hold her head awkwardly. Seokmin left with no choice besides gently resting her head on his shoulder, Yuna now sleep on his shoulder quietly, makes Seokmin feels uneasy. Some strand of her hair tickled his cheek. Her scent filled up his lungs almost immediately. And he could feel her warmth clearly. He could hear too her soft sound of breathing. He couldn’t help but jerked in shock as Yuna’s head unconsciously move to seek a better position on his shoulder, only to shut their short distance earlier. His arm is basically attached to hers, and he could smell her scent better than before. Seokmin totally turn into stone, he couldn’t even move a bit partially because he doesn’t want to wakes Yuna up but most of the reason is because he is too dizzy by this inadvertent skinship.

Throughout the way, when finally Seungkwan and Sinbi featuring Eunha and Mingyu decide to postponed their fight until they gain their strength again, when finally the bus is quiet and only roar of the machine could be hear, Seokmin slowly could feel relaxed, although his shoulder slowly getting weary, but his mind is too occupied by something else – something no other than her scent that reminded him of a baby’s scent. Each minutes passed and he only could thinking about how nice her scent is and how much he likes it already. Her warmth makes him slowly getting sleepy, but when he just about to shut his eyes the bus stopped and make him wide awake again.

“C’mon guys, we’re arrived.”

Yuna, who is still trying to collect her soul, apologizing to Seokmin when the boy wakes her up gently. She didn’t realize she sleep so carelessly on his shoulder just like that, but Seokmin just let a faint smile signing it’s really nothing matter. It’s actually shameful to sleep beside him, who she only knows about two days, but this habit of hers is hard to get rid off.

She is fully awake when finally they reach Jihoon’s famous noodle restaurant, the smells feels so nice that makes all of them drooling. They quickly take their seat without any fight and wait patiently for the noodles.

Jihoon’s mom greeted them along with her delicious noodles, telling them to enjoy the food and thanking the members to believe Jihoon as their leader. Yuna amazed at how Sinbi suddenly being so nice telling her mom that Jihoon is the best leader ever – and Yerin going along with the drama saying Jihoon is absolutely irreplaceable. Jihoon hit her head brotherly, telling Sinbi to stop faking around and make all of them laugh. With the hot and delicious noodle that finally filled her empty stomach, Yuna could finally laugh sincerely.

The atmosphere began to become bright as soon as Yerin suggested a game and although only half of them agreed, the game is start anyway. The first is impersonation game, and it’s seriously hilarious. Donghyuk – Yuna just know his name at that time, impersonate almost every teacher’s gesture and habit in their school 98% accurately, make all of them laughing like crazy. Sinbi impersonates Kaonashi that just stopped at the 4 first second – “NOT THAT KAONASHI AGAIN” – they yelled in unison – and someone named Jisoo – the right Jisoo, this time – asked to show his legendary impersonation of so many animals to Yuna – since she is the only person who doesn’t know it yet, and when Yuna finally saw it, she couldn’t agree more that it’s Jisoo true hidden talent. The is when Seungkwan and Seokmin rose up from their seat and went to the center, then not only impersonate but sing it live also Baek Ji Young and Taecyeon ‘My Ears Candy’ performance shamelessly – gaining other customers (and even waitress) attention and laugh too. Yuna couldn’t help but laughing out loud and cringing at the same time, didn’t know before that all of them, especially Seungkwan and Seokmin – are actually this crazy.

After they finished their meals Jihoon quickly ended their craziness and dragged them to wash the dish. Thanks to Jihoon’s delicious noodles, they wash the dish still with great mood. Seungkwan played a loud music and pretending to be a radio DJ.

“Good night to all Boo’s listener wherever you are! Okay back again to Boo FM, don’t forget with our motto, ‘Music Bring Happiness’ ! This special segment is for those who dedicated this night to washing the dish despite the cold weather. May God bless them! Ah, wait! We receive a call! Ooh, today’s request is really fast! Okay, hello? Please greet Boo’s listener first!”

“Oh hello BOO FM! I’m a loyal listener! I’m Jung Yerin, currently on my 5^th bowl! God, the water is no joke! It’s freaking cold! I would like to listening to Idina Menzel’s Let it Go! So I could pretend building an ice castle instead of freezing from washing these!”

“Ah, thank you for always listening to BOO FM and thank you for your request! Idina Menzel’s Let It Go for Yerin who in the middle building an ice-bowl-castle! Here we go! Fighting!” Seungkwan who take a role to dry the newly washed dish dry his hand easily and play the song on his phone. As soon as the music played, all of them sing in unison, their voice against the sound of water tap. Yuna silently watching and chuckles, amazed at how they always managed to have fun in any kind of situation.

With BOO FM continued and various songs already played to company their washing session, the dishes are all neatly washed. “Good job all! Ah, this night is such a great night, with a great listener and of course because me as the great DJ! We’ve listened to a lot of songs and washed many dishes too, so I think this is the end of today session. Let’s meet in the next occasion! Till now, BOO FM – Music Bring Happiness!”    

Sinbi shakes her head, doesn’t understand how Seungkwan still manage to play his radio-DJ game till very end with same spirit meanwhile all of them are extremely exhausted. After they finished washed half of them immediately excused themselves, the remaining are Yuna, Seokmin, Seungkwan, Sinbi, Mingyu and Eunha that still comfortable on their seat.

“Oh my God, it’s actually really late. You guys should go home now.” Jihoon gasped as he saw the clock is pointed 9 number. They reluctantly rose from their seat and clear their things, get ready to leave.

“Yuna,” Seokmin called her out when she just stepped outside the restaurant, “Let me walk you home.”

Yuna actually a bit scared to go home alone at this time but she still unsure to let Seokmin accompanied him.

“Seungkwan, you will walk me home right till I walk into my home, right?” Sinbi make sure when she saw Seokmin offered a help to Yuna and makes her remember of her own, “Yes you fussy or else you won’t let me live tomorrow.” Seungkwan rolled his eyes.

“If I were a guy I would really want to walk you home.” Eunha mumbled. “But Yuna, it’s really dangerous to walk alone! Seokmin you definitely must to walk her home, make sure she arrived safely.” Eunha messaged. Seokmin just nodded, and raised his eyebrow to Yuna, ask if she take the offer or not.

“Then how about you?” Yuna asked the short-haired girl.

“Me?” Eunha pointed herself. “Oh, no worry! This big guy house is the same direction with mine.” Eunha patted Mingyu’s back. Mingyu nodded his head to make sure that Eunha tell the truth.

Yuna then look at Seokmin again and thinking for a while – “Okay then.”

**

At the bus two of them fell asleep almost immediately, but luckily they wake up at the right time. After the bus, they must walk quite far to Yuna’s house and seeing how some of the lamp is damaged – makes the way looks so scary than ever, Yuna then feel relief she accept Seokmin’s offer to walk her home.

They walk side by side in silence, awkwardness once again wrapped them. Yuna takes the initiative first to open up a conversation. “Music club’s members are so crazy.”

Seokmin laughed at that, totally agree. “I’m also surprised I could be that crazy.” Seokmin admitted. “Maybe because we’re like a family already, so it’s not a shame anymore to do that. Even Jisoo and Donghyuk who tend to be quiet and calm turned like that after joining us for months.”

Yuna let out a faint smile. “I’m jealous.”

Seokmin stared at her for a while. Realizing that she just utters a sensitive matter, she quickly added, “Nope, never mind.”

Seokmin chuckled and let her be. But after several seconds, he mumbled, “It’s okay to tell me, you don’t have to keep it for yourself.”

Yuna just being quiet and contemplating should she tells him or not. But meanwhile thinking about that, she suddenly blurted out, “I never really experienced how friendship is going on. Oh, I even barely have any friend. I just have one same aged friend and we’re both busy of our practice, we only going out to buy ice cream on one sunny day and that’s it. When I sit with you guys for the first time, I remember her and realize how lonely I am, and how much I missed her but I just can’t simply contact her because of her busy schedule. I’m somehow jealous of how you guys so close, calling each other with nicknames, teasing and fighting over each other and like you said yourself, to the point it feels like a family.”

Seokmin listened to her and waiting for her to continued, but Yuna already drown in her own sadness.

“You don’t have to be jealous though, at least from now on.” Seokmin smiled, “because you’re already part of our family now.”

“That quick?” Yuna asked, surprised. “I don’t get well along with you guys, I can’t throw funny jokes or-“

“You could be our family whoever you are.” Seokmin cut her insecurity, “You joined us today, you appreciate us being your friends and we cherished you as our friends – beside that, nothing else matter.”          

Seokmin’s words hit her rightly. “Whoever I am?” Yuna asked, need to make sure about that thing.

“Whoever are you, but of course you just need to be yourself.” Seokmin smiled.

At that time, they finally reach Yuna’s home, “We’re here.” Yuna announced.

“Aah, so it’s your home. It looks very nice.”

Yuna smiled a little. “Go first. I’ll leave when you enter.” Seokmin ordered.

“Okay then. Thank you so much for today.” Yuna turned her body, and when she just about to enter her home’s gate, Seokmin called her again, makes her turn again to faced him.

“Yuna.”

“Yeah?”

Seokmin scratches his back of head and smile awkwardly. “Nothing, it’s just…”

“It’s just?”

“It’s just, I think, it would be great if you contact your friend again. Who knows, maybe she waited for you to text you or call you but too afraid to do so, just like you. It would be great if you two in good term again, right?”

Yuna turn quiet at that thought. She never thought like that before, and hearing that somehow enlightened her.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean anything, I just-“

“It’s okay, you’re right.” Yuna quickly cut his worry, give the boy a smile. “I’ll try to contact her. Thank you so much for your advice! Now quickly go back home! It’s too late already. No need to watch me till I enter.”

Seokmin smiled and shook his head. “No, just go enter now. Eunha told me to make sure you arrived safely, right?”

“Oh, you listened her way too well.” Yuna rolled her eyes teasingly, then wave her hands, bid him a goodbye. Yuna turn her back when she about to enter her home, shouted and waved once again before completely disappeared behind the door. “Arrive home safely too, okaaaay?”

Little did she know, Seokmin stayed still till he saw a light on the 2^nd floor – which is Yuna’s room, while busily calm his heart that skipped a loud beats.

Hey, it’s been a long time. Sorry I just text you now, you know, I’m still struggling to live my new life. How’s about you? How’s practice? Have you been well? Honestly I missed those moments when I spend practice time with you and made those tiring hours less depressing. Sadly, I won’t have that chance again. But I hope the very best for your practice. You must be really busy. The tournament is coming near, you must take care yourself very well. Be careful on your way. Don’t make the same mistake like I did. I pray for your best here. To tell you the truth, I want to ask you out this weekend. I really want to see you. Although we can’t practice together again, we still can eat ice cream together, right? There’s an ice-cream shop near my school, and it looks very delicious. It doesn’t feel right if I go alone there without an ice cream freak aka you! C’mon, it’s my treat! Can you spare your time? I’ll be waiting for your reply.

Your ice-friend, Yuna.
