When Jungah came to school on Monday, Kris wasn’t at school.

Mr. Kim arrived in the room, and he still wasn’t here.

Jungah glanced sideways at the empty seat next to her. *Where is this fool? He always comes to school.*

One girl turned around in her seat and whispered, “Where’s your boyfriend today? He’s ditching without you?”

Jungah narrowed her eyes and nodded at the chalkboard, “Talk to me again, and I’ll rip your mouth off.”

The girl made a face and turned forward.

Jungah glanced at Kris’s seat again. *Seriously, where is he?*

It was time for PE. The coach made everyone partner up again. However, this time, Jungah didn’t have anyone offer to be partners with her. She stood alone and stretched by herself. A hollow feeling of emptiness spread in her heart. *What the hell. I never mind being alone, so why do I feel so freaking awkward right now? This heat is getting to me.* She shook her head.

Lunchtime came, and Jungah locked herself in the auditorium. She listened to music and played games on her phone. Once in a while, she would look up and around her vicinity. Without even knowing, she had begun searching for Kris.

Jungah grew disgusted with herself. *What the hell. Get a grip, Han Jungah. He’s not your damn boyfriend. He’s not even your friend. Since when have you relied so much on him? You don’t depend on anyone, got it? Quit searching for him.* She yanked her earphones off and left the room.

School ended, and Jungah dragged herself home.

Midway, a horn honked in front of her. Jungah looked up to see a recognizable black car.

Zico smiled at her from the driver seat and wiggled two fingers towards him.

Surprised, Jungah walked over and went over to his side of the car. She bent down and spoke, “What are you doing here?”

“Picking you up, what else?” Zico nodded at the passenger seat, “Get in.”

Jungah went around the front of the car and entered the other side of the car. She shut the door and clipped her seatbelt on. “Don’t you have work today?” “Later.” Zico reversed the car, made a quick u-turn, and headed towards her house. “How was school today?”

“Typical Monday.” Jungah shrugged. *Minus Wu Fan.*

“Ah, bad day then.” Zico chuckled. With his eyes on the road, he reached back and pulled out her white cardigan, “You left this at my place on Saturday.”

“Oh. Thanks.” Jungah accepted it. Zico glanced at her, “You okay? You seem distracted.”

Jungah shook the thoughts of Kris out of her mind. “I’m fine.”

“Mmm…you need to be energized. To Shakeland we go!” Zico made another u-turn and sped off. Jungah raised an eyebrow, “There’s such a thing as Shakeland?” “Don’t judge. They have the BEST shakes ever.” Zico grinned. Jungah rolled her eyes, but her lips quirked upwards.

He parked his car next to the brick building, and they both came out.

Zico pulled open the glass door, and Jungah entered the cute, pink-and-green shake place. Zico followed suit and was right behind her. “Welcome to Shakeland!” The worker cheerfully greeted. Zico smiled back. He looked up at the menu board, “What do you want, Jungie Jungie~?”

“I don’t know. I’ve never been here.” She grumbled.

Zico chuckled, “Silly Jungie Jungie. You have eyes.” He placed his hands on her shoulders and led her to the counter. He lightly cupped her chin and tilted her face upwards. A shock of electricity zipped down her body at his gentle touch. Zico pointed, “Pick whatever sounds good to you.” *Fuzzy Berry? Rocking Strawberry? Wild Swirl Vanilla? Why such lame names?* Jungah wondered.

“What would you like?” The worker asked.

“I’ll get the Slushy Peach with extra whipped cream.” Zico beamed at Jungah, “What about you?”

“I don’t know…” She stared at the strange names.

“It’s okay. I can choose for you. I know what you like…mmm…Rockalicious Road with extra chocolate chips!” Zico said. Jungah turned crimson. *Such an embarrassing name. How can he shamelessly blurt that out?*

“No problem.” The worker rang it up, and Zico paid. She thanked him with a chuckle at Jungah, “Your boyfriend is very cheerful. You must be happy to have such an attentive boyfriend.” Zico’s eyes widened, and he stared at Jungah. Jungah gawked at the girl with her lips p
