Spreading sunrise, pinkish glow, clouds tinted, colours spread across the sky announcing the new day, oranges and reds painted across the clouds as if by a celestial hand.

She wakens while stretching, feeling a relief rushing though her veins and bones.

"Soon-hee..." A voice destroyed that peaceful moment of her observing the outside world and its colorful pallet. She was obliged to open her door and talk to her brother.

"What?" She walked down the stairway just to meet her busy brother in the tiny kitchen making some green tea for himself.

"Good morning!" He smiles and takes two cups from some drawers. Soon-hee leans onto the table in an odd way ready for her brother to fill her cup.

"You returned late last night..." He announced, examinating the girls sleepy face.

"Mmhn... I know... I was with Minghao in the place he works..." She lazily answered flinching twice as her eyelids were heavy at the moment.

"You spend a lot of time there lately! Do you have fun there?" He asks sitting on a chair across to her.

"Yes... especially when the waiters shower me with what I order..." She mumbled almost ready to drift off but her brother narrowed his eyebrows.

"Wait, what? Who showered you with what?" He asks perplexed unable to comprehend his sister's point. She punched herself mentally so she could wake up and stop talking nonsense.

"I-I was kidding..." She faked a laughter but her brother knows her too well to read that expression.

"Are you sure? You seemed pretty honest to me!" He fixated his eyes on her and she drunk her tea awkwardly. "Of course I am joking... You know that I am a pretty fun person that... likes jokes..." She tried to improvise an excuse but still... It wasn't working...

"You never joke... You are as serious and boring as me...!" Jihoon complained and Soon-hee got offended.

"Me? Like you? Huh... No way..." She leans onto the table and Jihoon finally laughs. "Yeah whatever... Anyway I need to ask you something..." He added.

"What is it?"

"Did you gather your things?" Jihoon asked implying about the things she is gonna take to the dorm.

"Yes... Last night..." She recalled how last night went by from the moment Jisoo left her outside the door.

"Will you come after college... To say goodbye?" Jihoon shyly asks and Soon-hee rolled her eyes. "Are you stupid? Of course I will come!" She got up just to mess with his hair and he giggled pushing her hand away.

"Don't touch me!"

"Fineeeeee... I am gonna go now..." Soon-hee distanced herself approaching the doorframe.

"I will be waiting for you after college..." Jihoon shyly blushed and Soon-hee nodded. "I will be there... I have to take my boxes as well..." She remembered all the chores she had to fulfill today and actually felt frazzled

She found something casual to wear and took her bag. After a while she made her way to the college.

She opened her locker just to exchange some books but someone had to destroy the peaceful tims she was sharing with her locker.

"Good morning locker neighbor!" She heard that annoying soughing right next to her and slowly closed her locker.

"I told you to never say that word... Like never... Never means never Broomstick..." She got offended without even a proper reason and Jisoo slammed his locker, leaning onto it.

"So we are enemies again?" He asks surprised and Soon-hee scoffed.

"We were always enemies... From the moment you threw that Juice at me!" She complained and Jisoo rolled his eyes.

"You need to get over it someday..." He whines.

"I will..." She crosses her arms, but still she gave false hope to him.

"Really? When?"

"In your death day!" She fires back at him and he narrowes his eyebrows. "B-But.... I won't be there..." He scratced his head and Soon-hee laid back as well.

"No You will! You will just be unconcious..."

"When you say unconscious, do you mean dead?" He asked petrified... Soon-hee devilishly smiles. "See... You are not that dumb after all, broomstick!" She said and Joshua scoffed.

"Now... I am going to class... And as I said before don't you dare sit right next to me!" She didn't let him answer and just ran off to reach the same dull class.

The first one he noticed was her best friend on the table in the back. She didn't lose the chance to stand right next to him and shoot him a death glare.

"Oh No! I can explain..." He figured out what he did wrong immediately... She sat right next to him awaiting for his cheap excuses.

"Yesterday... I had to leave... Something came up and I couldn't walk you home..." He trailed down exaggerating a little.

"So you left me alone with the enemy?" She growled and Minghao gulped. "He is not an enemy... He is just a boy..." Minghao explained to her but she was not willing to change her outlook.

"A pretty stupid, annoying boy That I dont like not even in the slightest..." The girl hisses out alerting Minghao that something is wrong inside of her.

"You just hate him because of that one incident!" He said trying to protest against the girl.

"Not just that one incident, 8! Seriously! This boy is bad news... From the day I met him only bad things happen..." She tried to exclaim but Minghao scoffed grabbing her attention.

"I thought you didn't believe in bad and good luck!" He scoffed and Soonhee sighted.

"I don't... But I wouldn't be surprises if he owns a black cat..." She cupped her face with both of her palms.

"You need to listen to yourself..."

"Why should I listen to myself when I have a mega best friend to listen to me?" She trailed down not even moving Minghao at the slightest.

"If you continue like that your mega best friend will quit his job as your everyday listener..." Minghao growls back at her and she hides her true feelings as the bell rings.

They both see Joshua's back walkimg down the stairs without even looking at them and finding a seat at front.

"What did you say to him again?" Minghao asked playimg with a pen on his one hand.

"Nothing, I swear..." She tried to convinced him but he was not buying a word coming out of her mouth. "Soon-hee...?" He retorts her way in a strict way so the girl feels obliged to admit what she did.

"Fine... I just told him to stay away from me... But I didn't think he could actually do it!" The girl answered briefly and Minghao face palmed his forehead.

"I don't wanna deal with you anymore..." He gave up, feeling exhausted.

"What do you expect me to do..." She asks quite annoyed. Minghao titled towards her while still laying back onto his seat.

"Sit right next to him and say that he can come with us from now on!" He almost ordered her and the girl gasped.

"Y-you mean... like... sit with us?" She said petrified and the strict boy nods.

"I can't do that!" She laid back terrored. How can she do such thing... She hates that guy more than waking up in the morning.

"Then I am not gonna be talking to you until you do what I told you..." Minghao strictly said turning his head around, trying to avoid her.

"Fine, Fine fairy... I will do it..." She finally gives up and Minghao to
titles around to stare at her.

"Go ahead!" He made a sign to her with just his head and the girl shyly got up. Slowly she started walking down the stairway until she meets the long table were only Joshua was sitting.

She shyly sits right next to him and her eyes are pierced to her front. Deep down she was petrified, especially when she noticed Joshua titling his head towards her.

"Lola? How come you are here?" He smiled to her surprise and she slolwy turns her head towards the boy in the next seat.

"I-I saw you... And then came!" She tried to get herself out of the awkward position but Joshua just scoffed.

"W-what?" She asks quite bewildered. What did she do? Did she say something wrong?

"You are lying!"

"How do you know?" She asks dumbfounded.

"You are biting your lips...!" He announced staring at her lips for a mere second. She immediatly clears her throat, staring at a total different direction.

"So can I know the reason behind your lovely visit Lola?" He asked again, putting the girl on the spot.

"I wanted to say... Why didn't.... you... Sit with us today?" She asks obviously a little terrored of the answer. Joshua narrowed his eyebrows before answering.

"Because you told me not to...?" He answered back and the girl scoffed.

"And because I told you, that means that you have to do it?" She hisses angrily for a weird reason Joshua couldn't undrestand.

"Are you listening to yourself?" He asks scanning her.

"Why does everyone ask that?" She mumbled in between her teeth and Joshua giggled.

"Anyway... What I wanted to say... is... That you can sit with us if you want to..." She blushed a little, a fact that made Jisoo smile wider.

"Do you want me to?" He slyly teases her and she is reacy to attack him.

"Be careful Broomstick...!" She threatened him and he played the role of a sad puppy.

"Fine... Then I won't come!" He pouts and the girl feels guilty once again.

"I want you to..." She announced thinking of a lot of factors it would be good for him to sit right next to them. His head quickly turned towards her with the biggest smile creeping on his lips.

"Really?" He asks enthusiastically.

"I-i mean... yes.. why not? Um... I should go now..." She was ready to get up but at the exact same moment the professor invaded the classroom.

"No... Stay until the lesson is over!" He grabbed her wrist, pinning her down
She looked at his hand touchihg her and then up at his doe eyes.

What's happening?

"I know! I should not touch you! I am sorry..." He said removing his hand from her wrist.

"Y-yeah... That's... what I was gonna say!" She tried to stop blushing although her cheeks were a hot red.

"Oh Lola..."

"Mmhm..." She automatically turned, something that actually made Joshua smile wider. He liked it but still kept it himself.

"Are you gonna move in today?" He asks and the girl scratched her head.

"Yes... I will..."

"Do you need some help?" He offers a hand but she was ready to decline.

"No..." She said quite harsh.

"Is it because you are afraid if I get tired?" He asks so unaware of the real reason.

"No..."

"Then...?"

"It's because I don't like you!" She crosses her arms.

"Let's make a deal..." He speaks but Soon-hee is still bored to even pay attention.

"What deal?"

"I can make you like me in a month!" He exclaimed with confidence.

"Um... That will never happen... Not ever in ten years So I believe you should take that deal back... Before it's too late..." She retorts being sure of herself.

"Are you in Lola? If you are so sure that I am gonna lose just play along..." He retorts and the girl scoffs.

"I guess you are right... I am In... Oh and an advice... If you want me to like you stop callimg me Lola..." When she said that he started writing down like a maniac.

"What are you writting?" She asks. The boy didn't answer so Soon-hee had to peak only to realize he is writting down what she just said, as a help for him later.

"Are you serious?" She asks while raising one of her eyebrows.

"No... I am never serious... Thats boring! " He claimes but without even touching Soon-hee's heart... if thats what she wanted to convince herself.

"So what's not boring?" She asked and the boy stared deeply into her eyes.

"You!"
