"Yonghwa!" Selli shouted.
I raised my left hand.
"Where is Shinhye?" She asked.
"Went home early. She's busy."
Selli pouted. "Aah, because someone is coming back?"
"You knew?" I laughed.
"Of course. She said to me to take care of you since she's going to be busy because someone is coming back. Although I don't know who it is."
"Shin haven't told who?" I raised my right eyebrow. "It is Jonghoon."
"Jonghoon?"
"Choi Jonghoon. Shin's lover since high school." I smiled. "He left the country two years ago."
"Lover?" Her eyes widened. "She haven't told me a single thing about Jonghoon."
"Don't worry about it Selli. Let's go."

"Yonghwa.." She paused. "Did Shinhye said something to you?"
"Hmm?" I awkwardly replied. "N-nothing, why?"
She smiled. "That day. You wouldn't know how happy I am when I lend a help to fetch Shinhye outside." She sip some coffee. "That day, I was able to know you."
I smiled at her.
"Yonghwa.." She stopped.
She seemed tense and nervous.
I smiled. "Kim Selli. I like you."
She bit her lips. "Y-yonghwa.. I suppo-
"I like you." I repeated. I don't want her to say anything at all.
"I like you more than you like me, Yonghwa."
"S-selli.. You don't have to-
"I like you more." She held my hand and squeezed it.
I was surprised. Her response is different. She wasn't even aware that she don't need to say it since I say I like her first. She doesn't need to do anything in return since I d
