nari was moved by his earnestness, "what do you mean?" but couldn't strip the fluttering notion.

"let's hang out," jeno rubbed the back of his head as he admittingly explained to the girl what he meant.

up to this time a doubter, she shrugged it off. "you don't even know me."

"that's why i asked your permission if you'd allow me to know you more."
