*Sunjung's POV*

You took a deep breath as you stopped the car in Jae's house's parking lot. 

"Oi, Nayoung, wake up. We're here," you called, and Nayoung gave you a muffled response. 

You rolled your eyes and turned to shake her. 

"Hurry up, or I'll stuff kimchi in your bra," you warned. 

"I'm up, I'm up," Nayoung groaned, unbuckling her seatbelt. 

You unbuckled yours as well and got out. 

Opening the truck, you retrieved the kimchi and gently pushed the lid down. 

Nayoung got out, and yawned. 

"Come onnn," you whined. 

"I got it, I got it," Nayoung waved her hand and went to get the doorbell. 

You followed her shortly, and a tall, slender, balding man got the door. 

"Annyeonghaseyo!" he beamed. "Sunjung! Nayoung! It's so great to see you!" 

"Annyeonghaseyo samchon," you and Nayoung said. "Where's eemo?" 

"In the kitchen preparing," Samchon replied, stepping aside so that you two could get in. 

Walking in, you took your shoes off, and looked at the whole house curiously. 

"This is a nice house, Samchon!" Nayoung remarked. 

"Kamsahamnida, we had a great bargain on it!" he replied. He eyed your bag. "What's that, Sunjung?" 

"Hm? Oh, it's kimchi from my family," you smiled. 

"Oh really? Tell them I said thank you," he said, taking it for you. 

"I will," you replied. 

"Ah! Young-ah! Jungie!" Jae came down from the stairs, and smiled to you guys. 

"Annyeong," you said. 

"Annyeong," Jae walked to you and Nayoung. "You guys wanna come into my room and hang out?" 

"Sure," Nayoung replied. 

"It's up here." Jae smiled, and led you both there. 

Once you got in, you scanned the room. 

"Waah, this is pretty!" Nayoung grinned, looking around. 

"Pretty?" Jae raised an eyebrow. 

"I mean, cool. This is cool." Nayoung rolled her eyes. 

"Oh, of course. That's what you meant," Jae laughed. 

"Kiiiids~" Jae's mom called. "Dinner's ready!" 

You raced down the stairs with Jae and Nayoung. 
You, of course, won because you got a headstart. 

Seating yourself at the table, you bowed slightly when you saw Jae's umma. 

"Annyeonghaseyo," you smiled. 

"Annyeong, Jung-ah." She smiled back. "Kamsahamnida for the kimchi. It's very tasty." 

"Ah, thank you, I'll be sure to tell my umma that." you grinned. 

Jae got to the table and took a deep breath. 

"Shisus... You're fast," he huffed. 

"Gosh, I hate you so much," Nayoung clutched her chest, wheezing. 

"You guys are just slow," you replied. 

That night, dinner was fun. 

You and Nayoung got to know Jae better and got to talk to his parents again. 

Time passed by quickly, but you enjoyed every second of it. 

Then, you found yourself driving Nayoung and you home so that she could sleepover at your house. 

The next morning was casual and normal, like usual. 

It was soon free period. 

Ren went through the door, and joined you. 

"Nayoung, could I borrow Sunjung?" he suddenly requested. 

"Ah, ne," she replied warily, and Jae eyed him. 

He gripped your hand tightly and pulled you up. 
Pulling you to an empty corner, you pouted, "Hey, what's your problem! You're gonna bruise me." 

"What did you last night with Jae?" Ren asked. 

You stared at him oddly. 

"What?" 

"You had dinner last night with him right?" 

"Yeah," you rolled your eyes. "And with Nayoung and his parents."

"Whatever," Ren replied. "Did he try anything on you?" 

"Oh, how I wish," you said sarcastically. "Of course not, dumbo! We're just friends. Why do you even care?" 

Ren didn't respond.

"Hm?" you repeated again. 

"Ani... It's nothing."

"You sure?" you raised a brow.

"Ne, I'm fine." he said, releasing your arm from his tight grip. 

"Well, if you're fine, I'm just gonna go..."

"Ani!" Ren objected, pulling you into his warm embrace. 

"Wh-"

"Don't you know how jealous I get when you're around him?" Ren whispered, barely loud enough for you to hear. 

"Ren?" 

"You make me crazy, and I always have to protect you and I always have to be around you!" 

You were silent. 

"God, do you know how troublesome you are? I don't even like you that way, and I'm trying to protect you all over the place!"

Your heart sank again. 

"Ren..." you started to say. 
"Sungjung." You stopped when he said your name. Chills slivered down your spine, like snakes. 

"Sunjung. What am I supposed to do with you...?" Ren buried his face in your hair. 

Your heart beat faster than a racehorse and you were so warm and you bet your face was red. 

Suddenly, Ren pulled you from his embrace, and stared into your solid black eyes. 

"I-I should go." you said, and escaped from his hold. 

Before he could say anything, you didn't take a moment's hesitation, and ran off, past the classroom, and past anywhere.

All you knew was that you shut yourself in the girl's bathroom.
