Rian pov

Aish, Baekhee you're dead. Why did she have to leave me with him? I can't help but blush while hugging him on his motorcycle, at the same time I feel a little drowsy, I tightened my arms around Yoojin. Before I fell asleep, I remember seeing the park. 

Flashback : 5 years ago

What's this? Am I dreaming?

I see dad, packing his bags and was arguing with mom.

"--leave your daughter? Are you serious?!?" Mom yelled.

"What else am I supposed to do??" Dad spat back.

"Why?? Do you not love me? Do you not love your daughter??" Mom said, tears streaking down her face.

Dad sighed, and packed the last of his belongings. He saw that I was peeking through my room, then put his bag aside and walked towards me.

"Ji Kyung-ah, mianhe but.. I have to go" 

I opened my door, and started hitting him.

"Waeyo.. Waeyo appa?" I asked, still hitting him.

"Mianhe.. mianhe.." was all he said.

I started crying, "I hate you.. I hate you.." I pushed him and went back to my room, closing the door and locking it. I hear the shuffle of his footsteps, I could hear mom crying and the bang of the door as dad left.

End of flashback

I slowly opened my eyes, which were wet with tears. Mom was prepping dinner, so I sat up and looked around.

"Mwoya? Why am I on the couch?" I asked myself.

"Oh, Rian-ah you're awake. Come and have dinner now, I just finished cooking." Mom said, putting plates on the table.

"Okay.." I replied, stretching and making my way to the sink to wash up. I sat down beside mom, and started eating. In my peripheral vision, I saw mom look at me. Then it hit me, I was with Yoojin awhile ago. I faced mom too quickly my neck hurt, mom was surprised as I did so.

"Yah, you scared me." Was what she said.

"Omma, how did I get home?" I asked, afraid that I did something embarassing, since I fell asleep on the way. Mom smiled, then held my hands.

"Aigoo Rian-ah, your classmate is quite the gentleman, not to mention handsome too." I blushed as she said that.

"Mwo?? What happened?" 

"He carried you inside and put you on the couch."

"That was it?" I asked, relieved I didn't do anything that would give me a bad impression to Yoojin. I started for the bibimbap, eating a spoonful.

"Well, I asked him to stay because he must've been tired, but he said he was fine, saying what mattered was you getting home safely." I choked at that, while mom patted my back.

"M-mwo??" 

"Rian-ah, I was just wondering if you like Yoojin-ah. I'm okay with it if you do."

"Mwo??"

Baekhee pov

I know she'll get mad, but I don't care, I want to help her to atleast have a lovelife. She doesn't have many friends, at least if she has a boyfriend there'll be someone to watch over her.

After Yoojin and Rian left, I couldn't help but notice Yoojin's friend, Samdong. As he left, he was looking pretty upset. I honestly don't have anyone to meet so, I went and approached Samdong. After seeing me, his facial expression turned from upset to scared.

"Annyeong Samdong-ah!" I called out with a smile.

Surprised, he stood frozen on his spot, then slowly nodded in acknowledgement.

"Annyeong.." he replied weakly, then continued walking past me.

"Mwoya? There must be something bothering him." I wondered, but given that we're not that close, I chose not to ask what his problem is.

Because I had nothing better to do, I went straight home. As I arrived home, there was a letter attached on the fridge that says, "We'll be late from work, already prepared dinner on the table."

I took the letter, folded it, and kept it in my pocket. I went to the dining room and removed the cover, revealing so much food that I can't eat all by myself.

"Aish, how I wish Rian was with me." I muttered to myself, sitting down and starting to eat.

Yoojin pov

Second day of school, I don't know why,  but I'm feeling a bit excited today. I woke up early and started cooking our breakfast, feeling a little giddy. A few minutes after I finished cooking mom came down to the dining room, surprised to see me up early in the morning.

"Oh, Yoojin-ah you're up early." 

"Deh, I wanted to cook breakfast today."

"Aigoo, you didn't have to." Mom said, with a smile plastered on her face.

"Where's dad? I made him coffee." I asked looking at the stairs, waiting for him to descend it.

"He had to go really early since he took care of some files yesterday, he has to work overtime today too." Mom said, her smile turning to a worried look.

"Oh.. ok."

"Mianhe Yoojin-ah, I know it's been a long time since you spent some time with your father. I'm worried too that he might get too stressed at work, let's just try to understand and support him for now." 

"Arasso," I smiled, "let's eat now?"

----

I kissed my mom goodbye then rode my motorcycle when I saw Rian walking out of the house, I smiled, remembering how she hugged me tight yesterday. But I can't help but wonder why she was crying yesterday, it had something to do with her dream. She was a few steps away from me when she noticed me, her eyes widened, it looked cute. 

"Annyeong Ji, how was your sleep?" I asked with a smile.

"A-annyeong Yoojin, it was alright.. I guess.." she replied, although I couldn't hear the last part she said.

"Waeyo? Had a good dream or something?" 

"Aniya, uhmm.. a-are you on your way to school?" She stuttered, making me chuckle by the way she changed the subject.

I nodded, "Hop on, let's go together since we're in the same school anyway," I smiled.

"Oh.. okay." Was all she said, avoiding my gaze.

"Kaja! We'll be late for the first class, here you go." I gave her the spare helmet, and started the engine, and then we were off.

Rian pov

Mom woke me up to prepare for my second day of school, I feel kind of excited yet anxious and I don't know why. We were eating breakfast when mom spoke, breaking the silence.

"Rian-ah, what time will you be back home later?" 

"Hm? I'll come straight home after school, waeyo?"

"Why don't you invite that nice classmate of yours for dinner, Yoojin."

I choked on my water, "Mwo??" what is she thinking?

"Well he brought you back here safely yesterday, it's polite to atleast thank him properly. Besides, you were asleep when he was here."

"Omma, why all of a sudden invite a guy I barely even know??" I asked earning a smack on the arm from her.

"Yah, after carrying you all the way inside that's what you'll say?"

"But why today? Can't it be another day?"

"Aigoo, just invite him over for dinner. What's the problem, do you like him or anything?" Mom asked giving a suspicious look, eyeing me with those eyes.

"Wha-- a-aniya! I-I barely even know him, w-why would I like him?!?" Aish why am I stuttering? I feel myself blushing out of embarassment.

"So how about it? Just tell him to come over and have dinner, that's it. What's the harm in that?"

"I do-- aish.. arasso, I'll ask him later." 

After that we continued eating in silence, I washed the dishes then got changed into my school uniform. Looking into the mirror, I noticed how paler I look.

"Mwoya? I don't feel like I'm sick or anything, why am I so pale?"

I brushed off the thought and made my way to the door, giving my mom a peck on the cheek. Carrying my bag, I walked out into the gate and started off for school. 

Aish, eottoke? I have to invite him for dinner, I feel so embarassed after hearing that he carried me home. >_< waaaah

I was about to pass by Yoojin's house when I saw him sitting on his motorcycle, holding his helmet. My eyes widened, speak of the devil.

"Annyeong Ji, how was your sleep?" Yoojin asked with a smile.

"A-annyeong Yoojin, it was alright.. I guess.." I replied, whispering the last part I said. Although I couldn't sleep well at all last night, I kept thinking of what happened.

"Waeyo? Had a good dream or something?" he asked.

"Aniya, uhmm.. a-are you on your way to school?" I stuttered, changing the topic.

He chuckled before nodding, "Hop on, let's go together since we're in the same school anyway," he smiled, making it hard for me to look at him without blushing.

"Oh.. okay." Was all I could say, avoiding his gaze.

"Kaja! We'll be late for the first class, here you go." He handed me the spare helmet I used yesterday. He started the engine, I hesitated to hug him again, but I thought better of it.

We were on our way to school when I remembered Baekhee, so I took out my phone and texted her I wouldn't be able to come to school with her. As I put my phone back in my pocket, we made a turn, almost making me fall off. I hugged Yoojin, afraid I might fall. 

We arrived in about 3 minutes and I saw Baekhee at the school gate, while Yoojin parked. Taking off the helmet, I faced Yoojin, "Gomawo, Yoojin..".

He smiled, taking the helmet from me, "No problem Ji. I see Baekhee's here already, why don't you join her? You guys go first."

"Oh okay, see you." I said weakly, walking away from him and walking towards Baekhee. She was smiling as I approached her, she nudged me and hugged me tight.

"So, how was your time with Yoojin yesterday?" She teased, I glared at her.

"Yah! I know you planned all that, pretending to meet with some friends." 

"Ara ara, mianhe. Let's go inside first, or else we'll be late again and saem might not give us a second chance."

There was no point in arguing with that, so we went inside. Before we went through the school corridor, I saw Yoojin take out his phone. 

Yoojin pov

We arrived at the school in about 3 minutes. I took off my helmet, Rian faced me, "Gomawo, Yoojin.."

I smiled, taking the helmet from her, "No problem Ji. I see Baekhee's here already, why don't you join her? You guys go first."

"Oh okay, see you." She said then left.

I know dad is busy, but I can't help but feel the need to atleast talk to him even for a few minutes, or even seconds. Putting the helmets under the seats, I took out my phone and dialed dad's number.

After ringing for 2 minutes, dad answered. He talked pretty fast, he didn't even give me the chance to speak.

"Son, I'm quite busy at the moment, let's talk later arasso?" After that he hung up, making me feel more upset by the fact that we haven't really talked in a while.

I replaced my phone in my pocket then went inside, ascending the stairs up until the third floor. As I entered, class was about to start so I wasn't scolded by our supervisor. For today, we had an ordinary class, because they wanted to start with the lessons immediately. We took notes, did activities, and read the lecture for 1 hour, but to me it felt like so many hours. I wanted school to end quick because I want to get home early and talk to dad, I just wish time would come in my favor and tick faster.

Rian pov 

We started with lessons for today, and I got to admit, it's so boring. But nevertheless, I have to focus because I'm doing this for mom. We've been sitting in our classroom for 2 hours now, and I'm getting a bit sleepy. I couldn't help but look over at Yoojin, I wonder who was it he called earlier? He looks a bit upset right now, he hasn't even talked to Pil Suk today, should I ask him later?

Lunch time yesss!! I want to eat a lot today, hmmm what should I-- Oh yeah, I should go and talk to Yoojin. He hasn't stood up yet, Baekhee went ahead because her stomach was about to burst. I hesitated at first, making a step toward him, but I approached him in the end.

"Yoojin-ah, gwenchanha?" I asked, looking straight at him.

He looked up, a bit surprised at my presence.

"Oh.. I'm fine." He smiled, then added, "you must be hungry, kaja?"

Being with him for the second day feels so weird, maybe it's because of the fact that I'm pretty much a loner and only Baekhee ever spent time with me. Because I was with Yoojin eating lunch for the second day, people were starting to get suspicious. They kept looking and pointing, other whispering at each other, saying I probably seduced him or whatever. But I didn't care, that's what I'm good at, not giving a *beep* about what others think, or say.

"Ji.." Yoojin spoke, tearing my mind off those people. 

"M-mwo?" I stuttered, aish why do I keep stuttering whenever I talk to him?

"Is it okay if I get to know you?"
