The next Saturday evening, Jungah went to Zico’s place for dinner. Everyone was putting a cheerful pretense in front of her. She felt a strange unease in the atmosphere, but otherwise, everything seemed normal.

Except for the fact that Jaehyo and Zico seemed to be avoiding each other.

*Did they have an argument?* She glanced between the two males with curiosity.

Jaehyo turned around, “Yah.” Jungah looked up at him.

Zico stiffened. His eyes flashed towards Jaehyo. One wrong word and Jaehyo would be kicked out out of his place.

Everyone tensed. *Please, hyung, not today.* Kyung wearily thought.

Jaehyo tossed the bag of plastic cups towards her. Jungah caught it with her good hand and gave him a funny look. “Don’t just stand around, and be a lazy . Set the table.” Jaehyo grumbled. He glanced at Zico then walked out of the kitchen.

“Huh. He actually spoke to me.” Jungah sarcastically spoke. She straightened up and headed to the table. Jungah glanced at the cups then down at the table. With a shrug, she bit onto the cup and set it on the table.

“Ugh, gross, Jungah! I don’t want your germs on my cup!” U-Kwon flinched.

For his benefit, she spit into his.

“JAEHYO HYUNG! WHAT DID YOU DO?!” U-Kwon stormed out of the kitchen.

Jungah shook her head and tossed the ‘infected’ cup away. She tried setting the table once again. Someone yanked the cups away from her. Jungah looked up to see Zico passing the cups out. “I think Jaehyo hyung forgot you broke your arm. That weird hyung.” He chuckled, but there was a strain to his voice.

Jungah gave him a suspicious look, “Something happened between you and Jaehyo, huh?”

“Nope.” Zico lied. “Liar!” Jungah pointed, “I know something did happen. Spill. Did that scumbag say something bad to you?! Ow!” She yelped as he lightly pushed her forehead.

“Tsk, tsk.” Zico clucked his tongue, “Don’t meddle into adult business.”

Her eyes flashed defensively, “I am an adult!”

“Right.” Zico teased with a chuckle. She scowled. “And how dare you call Jaehyo hyung ‘scumbag’? He’s much older than you, so have some respect!” He clouted her forehead as he walked to the sink.

Jungah shooed his hand away like it was an annoying fly, and her scowl deepened. “Why should I give him respect when he refuses to treat me like a decent human being?”

“If you must know, Jungie Jungie, Jaehyo hyung doesn’t treat anyone like a decent human being.” Zico let out a strangled chortle.

“Whatever.” Jungah mumbled and sank onto her seat.

Zico heated up the lasagna and sat next to her. He couldn’t help but glance at her. She looked sweet, but tired in her rainbow-colored sweater and gray mini-skirt. “What are you staring at?” Jungah turned her head and gave him a look. “At you.” He tapped her nose. She pretended to bite it.

Zico chuckled as he put his hand back in his lap. Then he glanced at her, “Han Jungah.”

“Wae?”

“Han Jungah.”

“Yeah?”

“Han Jungah.”

“Aish. WHAT?!” She gave him an electrifying glare.

Zico searched her face then said, “You’re special to me, you know that, right?”

The annoyance faded immediately, and her eyes dimmed into peaceful orbs. “Yeah…I know.”

He gave her a smile and looked at the oven.

“Zico.” Jungah called.

He looked at her. She gazed into his eyes, “You are special to me, too. You know that, don’t you?”

Zico gave her a tender smile as his heart elated with peace and joy. “Yes, Jungie Jungie. I know.” With her words, he was comforted.

Jungah was finally allowed back at school on Monday. A part of her wanted to rest at home, but she had taken too much time off of school. If she wanted to graduate on time, she had to go for supplement classes. Jungah ran a brush through her hair. It was awkward using her left hand for everyt
