Dara felt extra weight on her leg and waist. She slowly opened her eyes and saw Jiyong soundly sleeping beside her.

She tried to remember what happened last night.

'I was so tired last night I can't even remember when I fell asleep.' She thought.

Dara tried to remove Jiyong's arm on her waist but the latter hugged her tighter making it difficult for her to move without waking him up.

She tried moving his leg but still failed to do so.

'Eek, This feels awkward but good at the same time.' She squealed deep inside.

She slowly moved sideways to face Jiyong and have a better look of his sleeping form.

'You look so cute when you're sleeping... different from your manly image.' She smiled at the thought.

She quickly closed her eyes when she saw Jiyong's eyebrows furrowed, looking as if he's going to wake up anytime soon.

The arm that's wrapped around her waist and leg over hers were slowly pulled away and she felt Jiyong stretched beside her.

She opened her eyes, pretending that she just woke up.

"Good morning." Jiyong greeted along with a bright smile.

She smiled back and said, "Good morning."

"You were shot last night." Jiyong chuckled. "We were talking to each other about our little TOURNAMENT... I just noticed I was only talking to myself when, after saying so much, I didn't get any reply from you... You we're drooling." He teased.

Dara secretly wiped . "I don't drool when I sleep." She defended. "On the other hand, you were snoring while sleeping."

"Woah! That's false accusation Dara." He reacted.

"Snore, snore." She teased back.

Jiyong covered to stop her.

"Snore, snore." She said while Jiyong's hand was still covering .

"I don't snore." He pinched her cheeks so hard.

"Aaahh!!" She complained.

Without releasing her cheeks, he said, "I don't snore, right?"

Dara nodded.

"Good." Jiyong released Dara's cheeks and she massaged it while pouting.

She sat up and looked at Jiyong with twitched lips. He then did a peace sign and placed it near his eye while grinning.

"You're not cute." She said.

He puckered his lips to act even cuter.

"You look like a retard." She commented.

Jiyong hissed. "You don't know how to appreciate what's cute."

Dara smiled and pinched Jiyong's nose.

"Now we're even." She said that caused both of them to laugh.

"Breakfast?" Jiyong asked.

Dara nodded then stood up. She stretched her arm to help Jiyong get up as well.

"Pancake?" She asked and Jiyong agreed.

***********

"You sure you don't want to back out?" Jiyong asked while driving.

They're on their way to meet Tiffany.

"We need to explain to her. We need to remove her wrong impression about us." Dara said.

"You don't have to do this if you don't want to." He said.

"It's fine... Are we gonna pick her up?... What if you pick her up and I'll go to the meeting place alone? I think that's better."

"Why should you go there alone when you're already here with me?"

"She might feel uncomfortable seeing me riding your car."

"No... You stay and we'll pick her up together." There's finality in his voice.

"If you say so." Dara replied.

They were able to pick Tiffany up, Dara seated at the back while Tiffany's beside Jiyong. They were silent all throughout the trip to the restaurant.

***********

"Where are you from?" Tiffany asked while they were eating.

Dara looked at Jiyong.

"Busan." He answered calmly and placed a piece of meat in his mouth.

"Do you come here often to visit?" Tiffany focused her eyes on Dara.

"No... I just decided to visit Jiyong yesterday after a long time of not seeing him." Dara answered.

Tiffany nodded but looking unsatisfied with Dara's answer.

"Did you enjoy the food?" She asked.

"Yes... It was great." Dara answered timidly.

"Are you done with your food, Jiyong?" Tiffany asked.
