mock exam finally ended, much to everyone's happiness.

shiho thought did really well in the exam so her mood had been exceptionally well. finally, she could appeal to learn ballet again. mom, i can finally dance ballet again!

"since we have finished the exam today and everyone had worked hard, let's go have fun together! no practice for today!" hyunjoon announced to the five members of the school festival performance team.

"count me in, buddies!" eric, who suddenly appeared in their classroom, chipped in, "let's go to game arcade!"

so the six of them left the school together. shiho was talking with sanha the whole time so sunwoo had no chance to confront her personally. though seeing her laughing and happy, his heart was not as concerned as before.

they went to the famous game arcade for students. eric and hyunjoon volunteered to exchange the coins, so the rest of them just waited behind. the arcade was filled with people. it took a good five minutes for eric and hyunjoon to come back with a container filled with arcade coins.

eric and hyunjoon went off to play games they wanted, while sunwoo and sanha were stuck accompanying the two girls. there were many boys in the arcade, so it was not safe to leave the two girls play alone.

soojung suggested to play the basketball games and shiho agreed. there was not many people at the area of basketball games but since there were only two game stands, they decided to team up.

"i'll pair up with sanha." shiho said right away, which left sunwoo quite speechless. he gave shiho a look but the latter pretended to not see it and proceeded to start the game right away.

scoffing, sunwoo went to soojung's side and began playing too.

it was not long before the result came out. shiho's team won by quite many points. shiho happily high-fived sanha and gave sunwoo a mocking look, as if saying 'see this, loser?'

suddenly, someone clapped his hands from behind them. "oii, im shiho. good game!"

turning round, shiho's eyes widened in surprise. "jungkook?"

jungkook's smile faded. "that is jungkook oppa for you. thank you very much." he rolled his eyes jokingly. shiho quickly went to him, slightly pulling him away from her group of friends. "why are you here?"

"just come to play around. i do not expect to see you here though. i never see you as an athletic type of girl but you have some skill, babe." he winked flirtatiously and shiho shot him a disgusted look.

"anyway.." jungkook put his arm around shiho's shoulder and leaned down to whisper at her ear, "hang out with me instead. i have something i want to tell you."

shiho looked up to jungkook and saw that his face was serious. nodding her head, she told him, "wait for me outside. i'll go talk to my friends first."

jungkook obliged.

shiho returned back to the three that were watching her since then. she knew they were waiting for her to explain but she did not want them to know who jungkook really is to her. so she simply said, "i need to go first. you guys can continue to play." then she took her bag from sanha and left before anyone could say anything.

"wow, who is that guy? he looks damn hot." it was eric who said that. he and hyunjoon had just finished playing when they saw a glimpse of the guy with shiho.

"is he really shiho's friend though? he does not seem like someone shiho would befriend with.." sanha muttered worriedly. the guy's earlier spells trouble, judging from his appearance and all. he also had never seen him before.

"well, maybe he really is shiho's friend because she seems familiar and intimate to him. maybe he is her boyfriend?" soojung suggested innocently, her eyes glancing at sunwoo for a second longer, watching his reaction.

sunwoo had his brows furrowed as he stared at the door where the two had long gone. something told him that the guy earlier was dangerous. shiho had never told him about this guy and from the way they interacted, it seems like he was someone very close to her.

eric frowned and corrected soojung, "what are you saying? shiho's boyfriend is right here. right, sunwoo–" it was at that moment when eric knew he was done. all eyes snapped to eric in surprise and he cursed, "fuck my life."

caught of guard, sunwoo shot him a 'are-you-for real' look. feeling a headache coming his way, he closed his eyes, calming himself before he could kill someone. it took a lot of willpower in himself to not strangle eric by now and he told himself to relax. it's eric anyway, what does he expect from that idiot? he never thinks before he speak. it's not good to enter the prison for him.

then, he opened his eyes and smiled. yeah, calm down, let's not kill him.

to eric, this sight was more terrifying. he felt like sunwoo would come to him later at night and kill him once he's asleep.

hyunjoon, an amused smile on his lips, looked at eric with sympathy. goodluck my friend, my condolence is for you.
