"I'm losing."

"What?" the barely paying attention IU asked Sandara as she focuses her eyes on the basketball game on the TV.

Sandara cocked her eyebrow. "I said 'I'm losing.' "

"What?" IU asked again as she finally glanced at Sandara's direction, giving her incredulous looks. "Since when did you root for the Heat?"

Sandara rolled her eyes this time. 'Please.' "And since when did you start liking basketball" Sandara spat back suspiciously. She knows IU from the tip of her hair to the tip of her toes, and basketball is just out of her league. Trust me, she hates sports.

The brunette saw how her friend blushes like she was caught cheating.

"IU..." she said in a warning tone.

IU just shrugged her shoulders and went back on watching the game.

The frown on Sandara's face deepened. She closes the door back, and went to sit on the carpeted floor again, beside Jiyong.

"Ya," Sandara stopped the blabber-mouth IU from hammering Jiyong questions. "Who is this Youngbae? And why the name sounds unfamiliar to me? Are you keeping secrets from me now?" she 'sadly' said.

IU rolled her eyes at Sandara. "Sandara Park, if you haven't noticed I've been talking about Youngb
