"Mom, I'm going out with Saera tonight," Eunbi told her mother on Saturday morning. 

"At night? To where? What will you be doing?" her mother questioned her.

"Yup, at night. We're going out to eat and shop probably," Eunbi lied smoothly, because that's what she usually did with her friends. 

"Okay then. Be home before 10. Your father and I will be waiting," her mother warned.

Later that day, as Eunbi was getting ready to go out, Saera texted the location to Eunbi. 

Come to Lotteria by 6:00. We'll eat and then go there by carpooling in a few cars. 

Okay. What should I wear? 

Maybe cute and chic? I don't know, do you need to look good in front of anyone today? 

No, nevermind. See you later. 

Eunbi quickly put on more makeup than usual, because she was going out at night. She spent around 15 minutes contemplating what to wear before she realized it was already 5:40 pm. After throwing on a t-shirt, a pair of black skinny jeans, and a black leather jacket, she grabbed her keys, wallet, phone, threw them in her black leather crossbody bag, and headed out the door.

"You came," he smiled and told her to sit down. 

"You look nice," Taehyung complimented her. 

"I tried," Eunbi admitted, "although I don't try for school."

"It's okay, noona, you look great whenever," Jungkook said, sitting right next to her. 

"Guys, stop checking out my best friend. We're here to eat," Saera said and took the other seat next to her. The guys immediately felt embarassed for staring at the newcomer all at once and they looked away. 

After ordering their food, the group of high schoolers talked and laughed with each other, enjoying their time. Eunbi was surprised that she felt less awkward than she thought she would feel. The group was very welcoming of her, and she was especially comfortable with the younger half of the crowd. Taehyung would make an effort to include Eunbi in their conversations and Saera would smile at her, reassuring her that this was okay. Jungkook and Hoseok's bright personalities also helped lessen the awkwardness Eunbi carried around with her. The older guys insisted on being called oppa. However, she couldn't get over the thought of calling them that. Oppa was reserved for her actual one and only brother. She felt obligated to call the seniors in this group by that title. Saera called them oppa, so it made sense to them for Eunbi to call them the same way. Thoughout the meal, Eunbi would occasionally smile and say a few
