Gikwang's P.O.V.

"Oppa, have you seen my yellow notebook with stars and a bookmark between the pages around here?" Jungseul asked.

"No, I haven't, Seullie." I replied.

She frowned and left the room.

I sighed. 

She's been going in and out of my room since I arrived and asks about her things.

How should I know?

I heard her steps going down the stairs. 

Her check-up had been rescheduled for tomorrow morning. So, mom's going to take her.

Which means that I wasted my time in this house.

I don't mind being with her but she's starting to, i don't know, depend on us a lot?

I love my sister. I really do. It's just that, she gets on my nerves sometimes.

Steps can be heard again.

It's getting louder. I panicked.

There's no way she's going to ask me about her lost sock again.

I scanned the room for possible escapes.

The door can't do. I can't hide in my closet, she'll find me there. Under the bed would be too obvious too.

Her steps started to grow louder and louder.

Desperate, I grabbed my phone and dialed the most recent number in my call history.

I laid upside down in the bed, hugging my pillow with the phone on my ear.

A normal position someone would take if you are hanging out in the phone for long.

It rang twice and the person on the other line answered.

"Hey, how's it going?" I said immediately in my cheerful voice.

I felt the door open and I laughed out. For no particular reason.

"That's funny." I added.

Then, I heard the door close.

I glanced at the door slightly and making sure the coast is clear, I sighed in relief.

The person on the other line didn't say anything yet.

"H-Hello?" I said awkwardly.

"Gikwang?" the person said.

Hah, I know this voice too well.

"Yoseob-ah, what's up?" I said casually.

There was silence for a while until he repeated, "Gikwang?"

"Yah, it's me!" I said.

"What was that?" he asked in his I'm-creeped-out voice.

"Nothing." I said quickly.

"Listen, where are you now? " I asked, anxious to change the subject.

I heard a faint voice across the line. And I'm sure it wasn't his.

"Is anyone with you?" I asked again.

"No, ,there's no one." he replied immediately. Almost TOO immediately. And I knew right then there's something up.

"What's happening?" I asked him.

"What happening? There's no happening." he replied.

"Come on, Yoseob.  I know you too well so don't lie. What's going on there? Where are you?" 

"Geez, I'm walking back from school." he said.

"What else are you doing?"

"Talking to you."

"Yoseob.."

"Fine, fine. I'm just walking. Nothing more , nothing less."

I stayed quiet, detecting lies in his voice.

"So, why'd you call?" he asked after noticing my silence.

"No reason in particular. I just wanted to talk to you, I guess." 

"That's believable."

I chuckled a little.

"Hey, listen, I gotta go. I'm going to run." he said after a while.

"What? Are you joining a marathon or something?" I joked.

"Who knows. I might." he teased.

"Good luck with that. See ya' , Seobie." I said.

He laughed a bit.

"Thanks. Bye, Kwangie." 

And the line went off.

I laid down on the bed. Properly this time.

Something's bothering me and I'm not sure what it is.

As if I'm going to get betrayed on.

Hana's P.O.V

I immediately looked away when our eyes met.

I took a deep breeath and moved to the right, planning to simply pass by him. But he moved to the left.

He's still infront of me.

I kept my head down.

I moved to the left. He also did. I tried the right, he's still there.

"Look, go to the right." I finally said, frustrated. I still avoided eye contact though.

Suprisingly, he did. 

I walked past him.

When I thought I just escaped a near-death experience, he suddenly grabbed my arm to stop me.

"Don't you think it's time we should stop this?" he said in his stern voice.

I caught my breath.

My heart is beating fast right now. Wait- my heart is what? 

"Stop what?" I asked coldly.

I tried to look up but my head doesn't want to. I feel nervous and scared.

I did not feel like this earlier. Not until he held me.

"Look, I can explain to you everything." he said.

"There's nothing to explain."

"Would you stop acting stubborn and cooperate in settling this relationship?" he said with more force and pulled my shoulders so I can face him.

My heart started beating faster. The way he said it, it's like we're in a relationship or something.

Argh, what on earth is going on in my mind?

"Give me a good reason." I told him.

Fine, maybe I am stubborn.

"Because your my friend's girlfriend."

That brought me back to my senses.

"Okay. You have 5 minutes." I decided.

He frowned. "For what?"

This guy can be frustrating at times.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Nevermind." I muttured and started to walk away.

Then again, he stopped me. Seriously, he needs to clear up his mind.

I didn't look at him.

I figured I still can't. 

"I'm sorry." he said softly.

I swear I could feel the hairs on my neck stand up.

"I didn't want to just leave you, you know. There was a family emergency and I was needed at home." he started.

"I kept in touch with the guys, though. I found out you were over reacting and--"

He paused when I flashed him a look.

Ah, I can look at him again. Is that worth bragging for?

I sighed.

"You know what? Just forget it." I told him.

"Eh?" he asked in confusion, tilting his head a little. Woah, he can be cute at times.

"Forget everything. About the letter, the fight , and everything else." I clarified.

At first, he simply stared at me, with that cute expression still on his face.

Then slowly, it turned to a smirk. 

"I know you can't resist me." he teased.

There's the real Yang Yoseob again.

"Shut up." I told him.

He smiled the usual way he does. I can't help but smile a little bit too.

"Yah, I need to tell you something." he said, his voice serious again.

Just like that, the stupid thing in my chest started beating like crazy again.

As soon as he opened his mouth, his phone rang.

He got it out and looked at me. "Answer it. What you are going to say can wait, right?" I said.

He nodded and backed away a bit.

He answered, then paused and frowned. Then he said something. 

Curious , I went near him.

"Who's on the other line?" I asked him. He covered my mouth immediately and locked me around his left arm.

"No, there's no one." he said to the person on the other line.

He uncovered my mouth and made a shoo-ing motion with his hand.

I didn't want to. I want to listen and to know who it is. But I can't be with him, looking like this. 

My face is burning. He got me blushing again.

I looked down and walked away silently.

I turned my back against him and cupped my cheeks. 

Why the hell did he just do that?  Why did he created body contact so suddenly?

And, why is he making me feel this way?

Arrggghhhh! Kim Hana, SNAP OUT OF IT.

Yoseob's P.O.V.

"Thanks. Bye, Kwangie." I said and cut the line off.

Geez, that was close. 

He can't know that she is with me or she'll get in trouble.

He doesn't even know we talk to each other.

I turned to face her. 

She has her back at me. 

"Yah," I called out. She didn't hear me.

She is in her own world right now, as I can see.

She slapped herself then placed her palms on her cheeks.

"Yah, Kim Hana!" I said a little louder.

Now she hears me. She faced me.

"What were you doing?" I asked trying not to laugh.

She shook her head with  serious expression. I raised my eyebrow at her.

"Your really weird, you know." I told her in a obvious tone.

"So, what was it that you wanted to tell me?" she asked, ignoring my teases.

"I--" I stopped. 

What was I going to tell her again?

I scratched my head. "I forgot." I said and smiled apologetically at her.

She looked down. Why does she keep doing that? 

"Yah," I called again.

She didn't budge. I knocked her head slightly.

She placed a hand over her head with a pout. And I figured out why she keeps on looking down and all. She's all red.

I laughed.

"You're all red. What happend to you?" I teased again.

"S-Shut up." she replied.

I continued laughing at her.

"Ah, I missed this." I unconciously mumbled between laughs.

I stopped after realizing what I said.

I covered my mouth.

Dang it.

I don't use the m-word. I'm the school bully remember?

She gave me her amused look.

"I-I'm going to leave now." I said awkwardly.

"You MISS this?" she teasingly asked emphasizing on the 'miss' too much.

"Bye," I said , ignoring what she said.

I walked away and kept my hands in my pocket.

Maybe I wasn't lying when I said that.

Maybe I do miss this.

I do miss her.
