Minghao followed Soon-hee to the entrance of the college until their tracks stopped at the garden.

"But can I know why do I have  to keep your name as a secret?" He playfully asked her as the girl tugged her books vaguely closer to her chest.

"Keep it a secret for a day...!"

"That's stupid!"

"No! Jisoo is stupid!" Announcing that statement Minghao tries to figure out what that means.

"That waiter? Why?" He asked fully unaware of the situation.

"He goes to the same college with us!"

"I know... he lives in the dorms! Like me...!"

"Are you roommates?" Soon-hee gasped but Minghao reassured her.

"You already know that I don't have a roommate pabo! He has... He lives across the building pretty far away from me!" Minghao reminds the facts to the flustered girl.

"Oh!"

A moment passes without someone breaking that unpleasant silence but Minghao found the strength to step up.

"Soon-hee-ah?" He muttered while his hands traveled into his pocket.

"Mmhm?" She mumbled.

"I know you will say no again... But you should live with me in the dorms! You don't have to live with your brother for the rest of your life... College is really cool and you need to start living your life!" Minghao grabbed the bargain to wake his friend up from this imagination she has about life.

"We've already talked about this, Fairy! I am not ready for that..." her outlook remained the same from high school until now.

"But promise me you will think about it! You know, that I would love to live with you. I have a spare bed." He soothed the anxious girl.

A giggle escaped from her luscious lips as they both sat down on the grass. Minghao was making weird faces just to catch her chuckling.

Soon-hee was making fun of him, pointing at his face scornfully.

"So do you have work tonight?" She asked thinking of joining him to the cafeteria.

"Yes! I have a pretty busy schedule at the cafeteria today to be honest." She awkwardly scratched her head.

"Do you maybe want some company?" Her coie playfully changed as she hoped for an acceptance.

"Who? You?" The shy boy scratched his head.

"Is there a problem, 8?" She played back onto the green grass staring at the sun light.

"Well, not for me!" He announced laying back next to the frazzled figure of the girl.

"For who then?" She asked while her eyebrows narrowed.

"Don't you hate that Jisoo-Joshua guy?" He smartly asked but Soon-hee's reaction made him giggle.

"Yes I do! But I am not coming for him! I am coming for my mega best friend of this universe and any other universes out there!" Her hands traveled around his neck and they both fell down laughing.

....

Soon-hee finished all her tasks at late afternoon so she found some spair time to visit the coffee shop as she promised her Bff to attend.

The streets were empty, soulless as the night arrived.

Her way to the cafeteria was peaceful.

As soon as she walked in she met that warm smile of her loving best friend that was almost intoxicating.

"Soonieee!" He jumped and made his way around to hug her.

"Yahhh This place is empty!" She noticed the loss of clients and obviously had to point it out.

"Its not! Look at this table!" He pointed at the corner of the shop at a table with a middle aged man with a computer.

"Only one client? Guys you must have busy schedules!" She said and looked from the small window that was leading to the kitchen.

The only thing she could see was a mascular back from someone quite familiar. That back was not foreign to her.

"We actually have! But today was a hard day!" That Jisoo guy appeared out of the kitchen. He probably was the owner of this muscular back that captured Soon-hee's attention.

"I see!" Soon-hee tried to ignore him turning towards her friend with a judgmental glare. Joshua left them alone, approaching the middle aged man at the corner of the shop.

"What do you want me to bring you? No... Let me guess!"

"Go ahead!"

"An orange Juice!"

"Exactly! And be quick... Oh... And tell Joshua not to shower me with it again cause this time he will regret it with. His. Own. Life!" The girl warned te tall boy behind the counter, leading him gulp.

"I-I won't forget!" He reassured her.

"Thanks!" Her sarcastic smile made him take a step back not that comfortable. She found the exact same table she was sitting last time and grabbed the same pile of books she is used to carrying this month.

She has different books every month as she is quite fast at reading.

Not after a long time of her being captured by the letters of the book, A voice brings her back to reality.

"You orange Juice Shortie!" He said placing the juice on the table this time.

"Oh! You learnt how not to spill juice at people? That's pleasant!" Soon-hee didn't lose the chance to mock him a little.

"It was an accident!"

"No you are an accident!" Y/n muttered almost inaudible. Joshua heard it though.

"That's funny... What are you reading, now?" He attempt to lean closer and take a glimpse. The view was not clear so he just grabbed it from her hands.

"In search of lost time?" He scanned the cover in his hands.

"What did I say about touching my stuff?" She tried to grab it but Joshua's hands were long for her to even reach.

"Give it to me!" She didnt lose hope nor the chance to grab it and humiliate him. If only her hands were longer.

"I think I didn't hear the magic word!" He said and Soon-hee rolled her eyes.

"Wingardium leviosa?" Soon-hee wisely cracked a joke but Joshua rolled his eyes.

"Harry Potter doesn't work with me!"

"Just give me my book! Why do you always wanna look at my books! I doubt even if you know how to read!"

"Well, I just wanna make fun of your books..." He admited it and brought the book closet to him.

"So listen... If I figure out your name by tomorrow not only you have to apologize but say the word please to me!" He added the last condition making Soon-hee scoff.

"How are you gonna figure out my name Damn doof? You can't ask Minghao!" She said and Joshua smirked.

"Are you in shortie?"

"Okay! Deal!"

"Okay...! Deal! He left the book on top of her table right next to the juice.

"I hope you like your juice! I made it!" He said with a smile and Soon-hee was about to get chocked in her own saliva.

"Wait what?"

"See ya!" He ran to make his way inside. Soon-hee had her thoughts whether to drink the liquid or just pretend she is not interested anymore.

What if he poisoned it for her to die! It was very dangerous.

"What are you doing?" Her best friend was standing right behind of her chair staring at the shocked girl.

"Oh... Little 8! Sit..." She had a plan to see if Joshua was trying to kill her.

"Why are you so polite, what's wrong?" Minghao was surprised about how alternative Soon-hee's attitude was.

"Oh I just figured out that you must be so tired. Here! Drink a sip!" She held the glass bringing it closer to the boy.

"Oh how sweet of you! Thanks!" So unaware he crushed his lips onto the straws and swallowed a strong sip.

"So how are you feeling?" She asked quite bewildered to know. Minghao removed the straw of his mouth looking at the glass.

"Good! It's a nice juice!"

"So you are not poisoned?"

"Wait, what?" He asked terrored. Soon-hee bit her lips awkwardly and held the glass once again.

"N-nothing!" She titled her back at the different direction placing her lips onto the straw acting like nothing happened.

Minghao was staring at her back quite puzzled trying to understand what his friend meant by the last sentence. Slowly he approaches his counter so baffled.
