The end of the week was finally here as I headed down to last period on Thursday. The bet was finally going to end first thing tomorrow. I was completely exhausted from all of Kris’s persistent attempts to try to get me to speak, but yesterday he finally started getting used to my new attitude and stopped bugging me. So I’m happier now, I guess.

“Hi Jihae!” Luhan waved and smiled at me as I entered the class.

“Hey Luhan.” I smiled back and took the seat next to him. I’ve been talking to Luhan a lot more this week and I really got to know more about him.

“You will never guess what happened to me today.” Luhan said, getting pumped up for his usual storytelling. He started spilling out his vibrant nonsense while my attention turned to Kris, who was talking to Nayoung. Yes, that Nayoung. They were actually talking a lot this week since he had no one else to talk to with me only speaking to Luhan and the rest of EXO-M going off flirting with a bunch of girls, trying to get dates for the dance.

“Hello? Jihae?” Luhan waved his hand in front of my face.

“Oh, sorry. I was zoning out again.” I apologized, snapping back to reality.

“Are you okay? This whole week you’ve been so distant and less energetic.” Luhan stared at me with a concerned look.

“You haven’t been talking to Kris.” Luhan observed.

“Huh? Oh yeah, I guess so.” I said. I tried to look nonchalant about it, but I really did feel kind of... What’s the word? Empty.

Luhan stared at me, unconvinced. I should be happy now, with me always talking to Luhan without being interrupted by Kris or Nayoung. Things are finally going the way it should go.

“Well, if you’re feeling better, I wanted to ask you something.” Luhan said, leaning in closer.

“What is it?” I asked.

“I was wondering... Uhm, will you go to the dance with me?” He asked, keeping his gaze at his desk. I completely froze in the moment. Did... Did Luhan really just—

“As friends!” He blurted out, finally meeting my eyes. “Uh, EXO-M is making me go and they’re going to make fun of me for the rest of my life if I don’t have a date.”

Oh. That makes sense. That makes way more sense! I was kind of freaking out there, reality seem

Chapter 37: I finally got back to reading this after years! Reminded me of how much I love this story, hehe. I feel really horrible for Luhan, Jihae had the biggest crush on him for the longest time and they could’ve actually have dated one another... Nonetheless it’s good to see Kris and Jihae getting along better.
