Joshua was avoiding everyone for almost the whole day. He did not appear at any of the lessons and just never showed up.

Soon-hee walked in her room quite perplexed. Did she do something? Why is he acting so impulsively. Thoughts were occupying her head as she was trying to avert them.

She dived in her bed dismayed because of such a horrible day.

"What's wrong with you?" Hao asked letting his bag onto the wooden desk. Soonie did not know what was the right answer to such a question.

"N-Nothing" She strived to avoid his question but Minghao already distinguished that expression. "C'mon Soonie... You are not fine... What happened?" He asked again but the girl did not know what's wrong as well.

"Jisoo..."She retorted and the man sat on his bed.

"Yeah I know! What did he do?"

"I-I think he is avoiding me...!" The girl announced and Minghao attempts to figure out the reason for Joshua's sudden reaction.

"Did you call him Broomstick again?" Was the first thing he started getting suspicious off.

"No, I swear..."

"When did he start to avoid you? This morning he was all over you..." He tried to push her to think rationally.

"Well, after our meeting outside... he said he is not feeling so well and then just disappeared..." The girl explained but Hao did not find something suspicious.

"He could just be sick or something... That doesn't mean he is avoiding you!" He decided to go and sit in her bed instead so he could caress her shoulder.

"No Hao That's not it! I am sure... That's so not him... Even if he was sick he would have called me... I am sure...!" She held her head with both of her hands and sighed.

"Then if you are so sure why don't you go to check up on him?" The man asked and Soon-hee titled her head agitated.

"So It's me who will do the first step again?" The girl complained and the man just rolled his eyes.

"You never did the first step! Poor Joshua is always chasing after you!" The girl crossed her arms at his sentences. "Soonie... Go... It might be a misunderstanding!" The guy hugged her tight to soothe her. The girl gained some strength when Hao provided her this warmth.

"I am going to the bathroom... When I am back I don't wanna see you here, okay?" He said patting her head. The girl nodded and glared at him adjourning the room.

She fixed her ponytail and after a minute she was already gone. She ran down the hallway just to go to Joshua's room but she bumped onto someone's chest. Slowly her eyes lifted up only to see the person she was seeking for.

"Joshua?" She said and the man smiled. "Hey Lola..." He said taking a step back. "Where are you going?" She asked and He felt something an ache in his heart.

"I had something to take care of but... Were you coming in my room?" He asked staring back to his door and then back at the girl.

"Yes But... You can go It's okay..." The girl almost ready to tear up titled around to leave, but the guy grasped her wrist and immobilized her.

"It can wait... Talk to me..." He said but the girl did not dare to look at his eyes. He noiced and almost panicked. "Come in..." He said and unlocked the door of his tiny apartment. Thank god Mingyu left early and the room was empty.

Jisoo pinned the girl on his bed and just stared at her. She was not able to form a single sentence. Then he kneeled down and grabbed both of her hands.

"What happened?" He asked but the girl was looking right outsider the window instead of his eyes.

"Look at me..." He said but Soon-hee did not know if she was able to. Joshua titled her head with his index finger and waited for an answer. "What's wrong?" He said and the girl restrained her tears.

"I don't know you tell me?" She said and the guy looked down trying to figure out what she means. Although he did not want to admit it something was wrong.

He slowly got up and walked a few steps away from her.

"What do you mean?" He tried to be sure if she is talking about his behavior today or a different matter. "D-Did I do something wrong?" Her voice broke and Joshua's eyes widened. He titled around and kneeled down to her once again.

"What are you talking about? Of course not..." He grabbed her hand tight. What's wrong with her reaction? Why is she blaming herself.

"Then why were you avoiding me Jisoo?" She asked. Things were getting serious and Jisoo already knew that. "I was not planning on telling you but I think you should now... You... You are my girlfriend... I don't wanna keep anything away from you anymore... I want you to know my past... To fix my present... and... To be my future... That's what I was thinking today for the last 6 hours... The truth is... I didn't have anything to do today... I was going to your room previously..." His words touched her heart and she focused on his words.

"Will you say what happened Joshua? Your behavior was weird today..." Her voice broke at this sentence and Joshua smiled, removing a stroke of hair in front of her eyes.

"Of course Soonie..." He said and sat right next to her on the bed with his hand on hers.

"So You did nothing wrong today... You were amazing like any other day of the calendar..." He said and the girl restrained herself from giggling.

"Then?" The girl asked.

"Well, That girl... from today..." He said and the girl tried to figure out which girl is he refering to.

"L-Lisa?" She asked quite bewildered.

"Yes, Lisa..." He looked at her so deep in her eyes He could actually stare in her soul.

"What about Lisa?" She asked so innocently. A major factor Joshia fell heads over hills for the girl. That innocent gleam in her eyes could drive him crazy.

"She... She happens to be my ex girlfriend...." He announced and Soonie's jaw almost fell to the ground.

"E-Ex girlfriend?" He said while her legs were literally trembling. "Yes... We broke up a year ago..." He said and she immediately titled her head into a different direction.

"And why did you disappear for the whole day?" She whispered sounding dramatic as always. "Cause I was shocked to see her after all this time..." He heavily breathed, remembering his past relationship.

"You still have feelings for her, dont you?" She said because of his reaction today. Joshua was shook of her reaction. He kneeled down again with more confidence this time.

"Soonie of course not... From the moment I met you I was sure you are the person I am gonna end up with... Strange isn't it?" He said and the girl finally teared up. Tears were streaming down her face although she tried not to let them.

"The first time I saw you I thought you were a broomstick..." she giggled while tears were streaming down her face. Joshua giggled and wiped her tears away.

"I know, It's okay..." He said with a warm smile on his face. "And... L-Lisa?" She asked once again and the boy scoffed. "Lisa was never the one... She hurt me to the core... I thought I was never gonna Love someone again..."He said and his eyes seemed dark at this moment.

The girl cupped his face and a tear slid down from her eye once again. "Do you wanna talk to me?" She asked and the boy was about to cry now. His hand caressed hers, placed on his puffy cheek.

"Lisa... Cheated on me..." He whispered as his eyes stared at her legs. The girl was so surprised. "What?" She said and her index finger lifted his chin up. "S-She cheated on me with my best friend back then..." He said but the girl was not willing to undrestand.

"Wait, are we talking about the same girl?" She asked just because Lisa doesn't seem like that type of the girl.

"Yes... But It happened a long time ago!" He said and got up to sit next to her once again. "She... She is dating Minghao... Now..." She realized and was about to find her friend. Joshua grabbed her from the wrist and pinned her down.

"Hey, Don't you destroy this for him... Lisa could have changed!" He said and the girl looked at her feet. Joshua might be right. She titled around to notice something sorrowful in his eyes.

"Did... Did you get hurt that much?" The only thing she cared about was Joshua at the moment. He avoided the question by looking at the window. "Are you okay now, Joshie?" She asked and he slwy titled around.

"Joshua... You don't have to worry anymore..."

The boy still was not able to undrestand what the girl is trying to say.

"You dont have to be scared... You don't have to cry anymore..." She whispered and some tears escaped from her eyes once again. Joshua was rady to cry once again as it was the first time someone reassured him like this.

"To me, You... You are very precious and... I am here from now on... As long as you need me I will always be by your side... I will always hug you and stand by your side..." The girl confessed and the boy finally let a tear run down his face.

He grabbed the girl and enveloped her in his arms while tears streamed down his face. "Soonie I am so lucky you are in my life... Please never leave me..." He said and placed his chin in the crook of her neck, while tears were falling down at the back of her shirt.

"I will think about it!" She teased him and the boy giggled in between his soft sobs. It was a sentimental incident for him. He broke the hug just to see the girl's face and smile.

"Lola... I think I love you..." He said with a wide smile and the girl's grin disappeared. Now a shocked expression occupied her face instead. She was not expecting it.

"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Y-you s-said that..."

"That I love you... I know!" He said with a wide grin expanding on his lips. "You don't have to say it back... It's okay... I wanted to say it now... You can say it whenever you are ready..." He can be so understanding at times it can actually touch her heart.

"For now, do me a favor..." He said and the girl wiped her tears from her eyes.

"What?"

"Don't tell Minghao Lisa was my ex girlfriend!"

"Why?" She asked a little perplexed. Why wouldnt Joshua wang Minghao to know this?

"Because Lisa might have changed... I don't wanna destroy this for him... He seems happy!" He said genuinely and the girl smiled.

"How can you be so amazing!" She clinged onto him but the boy was craving for these actions when it came to Soon-hee.

"It's in my genes!" He giggled and the girl hugged him tighter. "And how can you be so beautiful!?" He flicked her nose playfully.

"Arghh..." She said and the boy giggled. "And a pirate apparently!" He added to his previous sentemce and the girl groaned.

"Can I have a kiss now, Sugar lips?"

"Stop with that name..." She said and the boy giggled.

"It's not my fault your lips taste so sweet..." He winked and the girl snorted. "No kiss for you..." She tried to escape but he grabbed her wrist. "Nooooo..." He cried like a four year old and she leaned back into his embrace.

He started leaning closer to her intensifying the anticipation. "What are you doing?" She whispered but that did not make the boy stop from minimizing the distance.

"I am about to kiss you... What about you?" He teased her without even laughing. The girl got a little bit carried away that did not actually answered. Her eyes slowly closed as she could not say no to his irresistible face features.

The man carefully brushed his lips agaisnt hers and also placed her against the wall as well.

"So sweet..." He mumbled in between the kiss and the girl grabbed him by the shirt bringing him closer.
