EUNJI : Youngji ahh... Faster! I'm gonna miss the bus.
YOUNGJI : I'm having hard time here, just go. Its not like you wash up every morning tho.
EUNJI : Hya!!!! I'm going in. I won't look so keep doing whatever...
YOUNGJI : Hya!!!!!!!!!!
Youngji came out from the bathroom looking all messy. It was the day of the month so she's at her weakest time and Eunji all aware about it after 5 years living together in their rooftop heaven.
EUNJI : The breakfast is ready, make sure to eat or else you won't have energy left later at studio. Eat while its still hot, you'll feel better.
YOUNGJI : Thank you. I will. Hya! Hya! It's almost 9, i don't think you have time to sit and eat. Take this instead and eat while you on the bus.
Eunji run down the stairs in hurry, not to miss the bus that she supposed to get on. Few granny that on their morning walk turned their head as Eunji pass by them, running all her might with her bright red stiletto. She is lucky enough that there's few seat empty as soon as she board the bus so she sit and comfortably eat the egg sandwich that Youngji gave her earlier while her hand super busy flipping onto the note for her interview later.

Jackson already set, lying down on the sofa all dressed up when Leo pull his door open. He walk towards him and upon seeing that Jackson had his eyes closed, he jump onto him right away which caused Jackson scream in shock.
JACKSON : Hya!!!!
LEO : Sorry, i did set the alarm but it really didn't get on me today. Give me 5 minute then we'll go for breakfast.
JACKSON : Is that the problem? My stomach feels like its coming out now.
LEO : I'll shove it back inside if that ever happen.
JACKSON : Just go and shower or i'll just drag you out with those puffy face to the cafe.
Leo laugh as he step into the toilet with his toothbrush inside his mouth and 5 minute later, the two already on the way for breakfast. The cafe worker welcomed the two with a smile as they were there for breakfast almost everyday since last year.
CAFE OWNER : Shall i prepare the usual?
LEO,JACKSON : Yeapp.. The usual.
#3
Youngji walk along the shop towards the pharmacy with her hand keep on pressing her stomach. The cold sweat are all over her forehead as she keep on walking but she then sigh in relief as she saw the pharmacy signboard. As her step getting faster, her surrounding turned dark and the next things she know is she's on the hospital bed with a needle on her hand.
One of the nurse come over as soon as Youngji open her eyes. She then briefly explained about things that happened and passed a piece of paper to Youngji before leave again. Youngji sigh as she turn her eyes towards the paper that turn out to be the ward admittance form of hers. Her eyes then catches on a strangers name that written on the paper as her guardian.."JungLeo"
Eunji arrive soon after with her rilakuma pajama still. Instead of a hug, she hit Youngji shoulder instead with her super pale face out of her worry.
EUNJI : Hya!!! What with sudden hospitalized? They said you passed out on the road at that.
YOUNGJI : No biggie.. The stomach must have reached its limit, that's why. I'm all good now.
EUNJI : The nurse said you can leave, will that be okay.
YOUNGJI : Yeapp, right away.
EUNJI : Pass me the admittance form, i'll go settle things that needed so take your time getting ready.
#4
Youngji can't sit still ever since the morning. She keep on checking her phone as if she's waiting for an important call. Every time the phone ring, she startled and hurriedly checking on it and sigh after wards.
EUNJI : Did you have a call that you waiting for? What with those act? Did you date someone without my knowing? Heoll..
YOUNGJI : No, i'm not. Remember last time when i passed out? There this someone who help me out and even fill in as my guardian on the admittance form..
EUNJI : Aaa.. That JungLeo guy? I did wonder who was it when i took the form for your discharge settlement but..
YOUNGJI : Yes, and i get his phone number few days ago from one of the nurse and i text him earlier today to say thanks and up until now he didn't reply to me yet and that's why i am like how i am right now.
EUNJI : Whoa... You must be really nervous huh. He will reply sooner or later so sit please. I'm getting headache with you walking around like that.
Night gets deepen as Youngji anxiously waiting for her JungLeo reply but ended up falls asleep on the coach by early midnight. Eunji was at the kitchen working on her tomorrow lunch box when the beep sound coming from Youngji phone but seeing that Youngji already in a deep sleep, she just quietly silent her phone and get back to the kitchen before went to sleep a little later.
#5
Eunji wakes up since dawn for her first day at work. After carefully putting on her newly bought office attire, she pull her hair up and tie it into ponytail with a plain black rubber band while can't stop smiling for the happiness. The light from Youngji room is still on so she just quietly getting ready not to disturb her sleep.
YOUNGJI : Ohoo.. You look good miss Eunji. The suit look good on you.
EUNJI : I'm too nervous that everything just feels not right. Eurghh...
After short random quarrel, both Youngji and Eunji are ready to leave. The two walk down the stairs, heading straight to the cafe nearby their house for breakfast. Both pick an egg sandwich with cheese with iced caramel macchiato and iced americano respectively. For the next 10 minute they quietly having their breakfast and leave to their own way without saying much.
The beep that coming from her phone wakes Youngji from her deep thought. With single eyes open, she check the text message that makes her almost stand up from her seat the next second.
YOUNGJI : Its leo ^^
#6
OFFICE PERSON 1 : Miss Eunji.. Please go to the meeting room at roof top, your supervisor will be there in 5 minute.
EUNJI : Thank you ^^
Elevator just closed its door when Eunji arrive at the hall. "Aisyyy..." She then went straight to the emergency stairs and run upstairs with her pink knee length skirt.
Eunji flopped on the ground as she arrive and saw nothing but empty space up there. "I don't need my night jogging if i have to do this everyday". "I need water". "Just what kind of person having meeting at the rooftop?". "But, waaahh... The view from here is no kidding"
LEO : Seeing how well you talk, i guess we can start our meeting right away.
EUNJI : Of course! Eh?
LEO : Taek Woon, Jung Taek Woon.. We going to work together a lot from now on so lets be comfortable. And since we will need to go out a lot for our job, please make sure to get your driving license as soon as possible.
EUNJI : Eunji, Jung Eunji. About the driving license, i really bad at it even after few time went for learning session.
LEO : We have no choice but to start from it then. Instead of your night jogging, come out to the park nearby your place by 8.30pm tonight to practice driving
Eunji then left alone with all sort of thing rushing in and out her mind. A bunch of file that left by Taek Woon (Leo) makes her head hurt somehow but she have no choice but to go trough everything so she can learn more about the company. The day passed by slowly as she can't wait to leave the office and met Youngji so she can vent her out all her #notreallyangerbutmoreofcuriosity that came up after meeting her weird + unbelievable new working mate.
#7
While Eunji and Leo seeing each other / quarrel / squabble .. everyday at work, Jackson somehow getting to know Youngji from the dance studio that they both attend and the two become closer as time passes. Too close that Youngji even shared all sort of things with him including her feeling about the mysterious savior of hers "JungLeo" not knowing his feeling towards her.
Amidst her busy practice, Youngi did text her JungLeo from time to time. Even there's no reply after the first message, she keep on texting him at time.. not losing her hope that one day that JungLeo will want to met or at least reply her again.
Time passed as the four living their live day by day. Both Youngji and Eunji never fail to share about their live every time they got chances to do so amidst their busy life. Jung Taek Woon, Leo and Jackson name became familiar to each of them even they never really get to met. Leo and Jackson at the same time, rarely met even living at the same place out of their busy schedule personally. Sticky note end up become middle man for both of them instead of sitting face to face to talk like how they used to be.
YOUNGJI : Why didn't you eat? It won't taste as good if cold.
JACKSON : I'm eating. Let's eat somewhere else next time, i have place that i want to show you
YOUNGJI : Are you sick by chance? You doesn't look good tho.
JACKSON : What with that sudden question? Can't you tell how healthy i am now? Hey, wanna go for overnight trip somewhere? We don't have practice upcoming weekend right.
YOUNGJI : Look who's talking.. We?
JACKSON : Nope.. Ask your housemate to come too because i'm gonna drag my housemate along. Its been a while we talk since he getting busy with his new project.
YOUNGJI : You sounds like a girl, nagging a busy boyfriend.. lol
JACKSON : Hya!!!!!
#8
The office still dark when Eunji entered. Too quiet that even a slight movement make sort of creepy sound.
LEO : Let's go. We have to leave now or we won't have much time to walk around later.
EUNJI : Hya Jung Taek Woon!!! You should switch on the light at least (>.<)''
LEO : Hya???
EUNJI : Let's just leave. Here's your breakfast.
LEO : This is one of the benefit of having wife at work. i don't have to worry about my food
EUNJI : I can't guarantee your safety once you eat those tho.
The two leave trough the basement parking instead of the main door so they can leave straight away by car that was park down there. The surrounding that too dark makes Eunji a little at lost and nervous. Realizing that, Leo reach out his hand and act like as if he's dragging her to cover his own nervousness being in such place with a girl that he like.
Back to her hometown, Eunji can't hide her excitement. While roaming around the street and taking picture she can't stop talking, explaining on everything with a wide smile on her face which makes Leo end up smiling too.
LEO : We have to leave for Gamcheon Culture village, shall we?
EUNJI : Aaa.. right! Let's go. I'm sorry, because its been a while.
LEO : It's okay. Its feels good, seeing your happy face.
The two then head over to few other place, taking thousand of pictures and record some of it on video camera for their project before return and spend the whole night at the office sorting out the item and only leave when the sun up.
Eunji sigh as she board the bus. Remembered that she haven't pack her bag for her trip with Youngji later at noon before fell asleep short later.
#9
YOUNGJI : Jung Eunji.. Faster! They are here. Give me your bag, you can go and wash your face instead. Just what time did you come back last night that you look like this.
EUNJI : Just now! We work the whole night so i can off today. Hya, can you shove in some other cloth inside the bag? I don't think i pack enough.
YOUNGJI : Okay.. just go and wash up. You face looks like you just survive from some weird disaster tho.
EUNJI : Just go.. Your Jackson is waiting outside.
YOUNGJI : Asking for a fist huh?
Jackson standing sloppily at the door mumbling .. "Girls always takes time getting ready" He hurriedly went to Youngji as he saw her coming out from the house and take the bag that Youngji carried into the trunk before pull her hand towards the front seat.
JACKSON : You have to sit here, i don't want to wake him up because he just back from his overnight work. You friend won't mind it right? Sitting at the back.
YOUNGJI : Its just nice, she also tired to death from her work. I'm sure she gonna sleep as soon as she get into the car.
Youngji tilt her head, trying to look at Jackson friends at the back but failed to do so because he had his head and face covered with hoodie and mask to sleep. The car moved after 10 minute and as predicted, Eunji falls asleep right away. Without greeting each other properly, the 4 start their trip awkwardly?
#10
JACKSON : Hey, we've arrived. Wake up!
Both Eunji and Leo woke up by Jackson voice. Pushing down his hoodie, Leo turn to his left which caused both him and Eunji shocked.
LEO : What.. How.. Whoaa.. What a small circle we are in.
EUNJI : So its you who live with Jackson..
LEO : How did you know him? Aaa... so you are the girl that he interested in housemate? Do you apply for a day off? We are done for, those at office will start gossiping around by now.
EUNJI : How do i know things will come to all this =p
....
JACKSON : You guys know each other? Since when? How? Youngji ah, did you aware of this?
YOUNGJI : Nope, i don't. Hya Jung Eunji shii.. Mind to explain it? :p
LEO : We are office mate. I'm Jung Taek Woon. Nice meeting you.
YOUNGJI : Ooo.. Heo Youngji.. Eunji's housemate^^
JACKSON : Lets unload our things before its getting darker. Save the talk for later ^^
After nearly 20 minute of unloading and setting things up, all the preparation needed are ready. Everyone lies lat on the ground, tire out from the hard work. All the awkwardness from earlier are nowhere to be seen. Everyone getting comfortable as the help each other getting ready for the night.
Jackson leave to buy more firewood from nearby convenient store with Eunji leaving Leo and Youngji alone. First 10 minute passed without any word between the two with Leo quietly controlling the fire from the bbq stove while Youngji keeping herself busy with preparing the food.
YOUNGJI : Did we need to prepare all the meat? Doesn't this too much?
LEO : Jackson eat a lot tho kekeee~
YOUNGJI : Aaa.. right. That guys shove in everything once he start eating. I never saw anyone eat like how he did.
LEO : There's more inside out tent. There's some cracker and other junk food too. You can take that out too if you want.
Youngji walk towards the tent while humming onto confession song from got7 without she realize it. The bag that Leo said was placed right the tent door so she easily pick up everything and put it inside the basket that she brought. Her eyes caught one thick novel on the mat which makes her end up sit down and check on the book instead of leave back to the fireplace.
The name that carved inside the book caught her off guards. Its was clearly written as JungLeo which remind her of the person who help her from before. The one that she consider as her savior. The one that reply her message once and never did again even she sent a few after that. The one that even his word that typed in the phone feels iced cold. The one that she have a big crush on even without even met in person.
Young leaves the tent only after she heard Jackson voice which means they are back from the store. She's trying hard not to show any awkwardness that coming back after she realizing the fact on her so called JungLeo.
The dinner start as everyone started to put meat and other things on the fire. instead of eating at the table, they pulled the chair and sit around the fire, eat and talk while keep on adding food all at the same time.
LEO : Eat this.. Its best to eat while it half cook. The veggie too..
EUNJI : The capsicum, i didn't it those. Onion too..
Leo patted Eunji head as she pick out the vegetable from her plate and put it into his plate. He then take few meat and put it inside Eunji plate without saying anything. Eunji raised her head and smile at him without words and the two continue to eat while talk and even teasing each other at time.
Jackson noticed chance in Youngji mood as time passed. He tried to change her focus by dumping a whole bunch of meat into her plate and playing around with her and his trick works. Youngji back on smiling and laugh before the two started to quarrel over every single thing around them.
The night passed as they eat the dinner. They straight away cleans everything before separately went into the tent to wash up. The night seem peaceful and full of laugh but somehow the camping became a double date which both pair keep on checking each other and silently comparing.
JACKSON : Are you going for a walk? ...Youngji?
EUNJI : She's in shower. The sky looks pretty with the starts everywhere. It'll be too much of waste not to walk in this kind of weather.
JACKSON : Shall we?
The two quietly enjoy their walk trough the trail that been made readily along the campground. It was a total silent until Jackson turn and started the conversation. Without realizing it, they have been on a walk for almost an hour which when they head back to their tent area, both Youngji and Leo already waiting outside the tend bot with thick sweater on.
YOUNGJI : Leaving us out huh?
JACKSON : Its you who shower too long. The bathroom doesn't even have Jacuzzi or whatnot, just what take you that long.
YOUNGJI : I really want to hit you!!
LEO : Its fun to see you guys like this.
Once again, the situation became a scene from a double date trip. The 4 walk trough the night while talking and teasing each other before separately leave to rest for the night. Youngji and Jackson decide to eat another cup of instant noodle before sleep leaving the two alone at the fireplace. Leo and Eunji inside their own tent ended up not be able to sleep early still, laughing at every single things that came out from the two mouth while eating the noodle.
#11
YOUNGJI : Are you dating him? You guys looks like it tho..
EUNJI : Nope, we are not. But its true that we close because we work together a lot.
YOUNGJI : Looks like he have things on you.
EUNJI : Pshhtt.. How about you and Jackson then? You guys give off a vibe of old couple, the one that happy even when fighting.
YOUNGJI : All we did is fight. The end.
LEO : Breakfast is ready. Let's eat so we can leave to the next place.
JACKSON : Ohoo.. Chef Taek take charge today huh? Did you make instant noodle again?
The campground filled with laugh as the 4 eat and talk non stop. They clean up the place right away and leave to the ktx station to take a train to Busan for the sunset. Youngji can't hide her excitement while Leo and Eunji sigh as the just come back from there yesterday.
The train just arrive when they reach the station so they board right away and leave without having to wait long. Eunji as usual, falls asleep 5 minute later, leaning onto Leo shoulder comfortably. Youngji tries hard to smile and laugh with Jackson every single words to cover her uncontrollable feels. Jackson then stopped the lady who sells things inside the train and bought a bunch crackers and candies for everyone while showing off his dancing skills that cause everyone laugh out loud and Eunji wakes up from her nap.
The trip ended as sun fully set and Eunji decided to leave for her parent home instead of leaving back to Seoul right away. Leo stay back for early morning shoot at nearby beach with Jackson and Youngji before leave back for Seoul at 8 the next morning.
#12
LEO : Hi.. Its been a while Youngji.
YOUNGJI : Hi Taek ah.. Yea, the training getting tense because of the competition date have been confirmed.
LEO : Eunji? Whe she didn't come? She doesn't look good at office yesterday too. Is she sick?
YOUNGJI : She doesn't feels well but she's okay. Should be okay after enough rest.
LEO : Please pass this to her. I have to go for another outdoor shoot so i won't be able to go and check on her. C an you please? ^^
YOUNGJI : Sure.. Will do ~
Youngji smile to Leo as she walk out the store with both hand full with food and all kind of medicine. She hurriedly walk back in case of Eunji wakes up from her sleep early. Right in front of house door, she clench her fist. "Its decided.."
Eunji still in her room when Youngji enter. Youngji quietly set the table and leave to her room and get herself ready for her daily practice. Once she came out from her room, the table already back covered with a sticky note on the food cover. "I'm leaving, there's mountains high things to be done at office. thanks for the breakfast ^^. Make sure to had yours too ".. She smile as she read the note, pulling up the food cover and pick few of the bread and stuffed it inside her bag and leave right away.
#13
Youngji throw her bag to the coach at corner of the room and getting ready to warm up right away. The bread fell out from her bag with the water bottle rolling on the floor, everything bee ignored. With super loud bass musing, she dance and fell down a few time until suddenly the music stopped. Youngji lie flat on the floor covering her face with small towel.
JACKSON : Need a punch bag? A shoulder to cry onto? I can be a good listener too.. Shall i switch off the light?
YOUNGJI : Please.. Thanks.
The next few hours, both of them sit across each other in the pitch dark room. Youngji pour out everything that's been bugging in her head, her complicated feels and even her heavy heart. Jackson on the other hand silently listen to her, throw over a roll of tissue and listen again.. attentively. There's thing that bit unclear among thousand that Youngji said but he decided to wait instead.
It's almost midnight when they leave the studio. The competition is in two day so there will be no more practice so they can rest for the d-day. Jackson walk Youngji back to her house all the way to her front door. Looking at her red nose, he can't help himself but to pat her head, pull her into his arm.. Giving a warm hug to make her heart at ease.
YOUNGJI : Thanks Wang Jackson ~
..
LEO : What are you doing here at this time?
Eunji looked up and her eyes back on her table that full with all sort of document, picture and a box full of pamphlet. From her drawer, she pull out a pack of sausage and bring it right into her mouth. Leo sigh looking at her messy hair and tired looking eyes. After putting down his bag, Leo pull Eunji up from her chair, dragging her out from their office.
LEO : Let's eat something proper at least or you'll sick again.
#14
Time passed. The four meet up for a drink once in a while with Jackson and Youngji getting allergic with each other existence every time. Eunji and Taek Woon unofficially is a pair, seeing each other everyday at office and back at home, nag and quarrel at times.
JACKSON : Heo Youngji! Can you please come out right now. We are late.
EUNJI : Youngji ah.... Heo Youngji. Youngji shii
YOUNGJI : Jung Eunji!!! Your phones ringing. Its Taek!
Youngji rush out from the house, hooked her hand onto Jackson arm and run. Jackson laugh as he run along with her. Eunji from inside the house smile looking at the two. Remind her about few month age when Youngji strongly denying any possible relationship between her and Jackson and saying that she had someone else she had her eyes on. One things that make her a bit curious, Youngji never mention her JungLeo anymore and started to get closed to Jackson instead ever since.
#15
LEO : Are you dating her now?
JACKSON : As of now, we are not.. yet. I want to take it slowly, she need time to forget her first crush or love whatever. She open up more now, and i'm good even its up to that only. That JungLeo whatever.. I wonder what kind of person he is that Youngji had such crush over him.
LEO : Jung Leo?
JACKSON : Yeap, Jung Leo~ Wait a minute, Your english name is Leo too right. Aishh... Don't used that name anymore, Jung Taek Woon is the best for you.
LEO : I rarely use that tho.. You must really like her huh, to be able to wait and accept everything this calm.
JACKSON : This is my first, and i don't plan on for the second nor third. This have to work somehow ^^ You are lucky when comes to this, she is yours even with those weirdly evil style of yours.
LEO : Have you taste my flavorful punch? =p
Both Jackson and Leo laugh and each later drown into their own thought. Leo wondering weather he should tell Jackson and Youngji the truth about the "JungLeo" issue, thinking off both negative and positive effect if he were to confess. Adding in Eunji too, the possible effect to their friendship and all sort of other things. His head end up hurting somehow.
#16
Youngji phone ringing signaling that a new text message coming in. The name that appear on the screen shocked her that she end up running into the bathroom with the phone in her hand. It's a short hi from Leo. Not as how she used to be, instead of fangirling over the message she look super serious while replying the text.
"Hi, I'm the one that you help long before. Once again, a thousand thanks for your help that day, I really appreciate it. I did text you few times before to express my gratitude and i do thankful for your reply.As you might notice, i showed my interest to know about you and i did.. before. But now, i have someone that i cherish, i have to cherish actually.. after all he did for me. Thanks again for your help, your reply and the short hi just now but i hope we won't be in contact anymore so i can focus on those with me right now. Once again, thanks for everything."
Leo looked at his phone, reading trough the text message and sigh in relief. He then head out, went to the phone store and started to fill in the form to terminate his number and apply a new one right away. Right before he submit the application, he send another message to Youngji, the last message before everything really ended.
"Thanks for your interest and also your courage for the last text. I really appreciate that you did the things that i supposed to do. Regarding the help out from last time, its what anyone will do if they are at my place. I just did what i have to. Thanks once again. May you have a good live ahead. BE HAPPY!"
SHOP STAFF : Your number has been terminated and here is your new number Mr. Jung Taek Woon.
LEO : Thank you.
#17
The snow that piling up makes less people outside. The road are noticeably empty, there's no kids at the playground as everyone preferred to stay indoor where its warm instead. Eunji run back into the office with her head covered with the snow flakes all over. Leo look up with "why did you come here on holiday" looks in his eyes.
EUNJI : Did you change your phone number? Jackson fell down during their performance last night. We tried to contact you but there's no answer.
LEO : When? How was him? Nothing serious right? I did change my phone number but Jackson have it, the new number.
EUNJI : Doctor put him to sleep to lessen the pain. He should be okay in a few week but still, its must be hard for him. Dancing is everything for him..
The two then head up to the hospital right away. Youngji is sleeping beside Jackson bed, sitting down when they get into the room. She wake up and greet the two before leave to wash her face outside. Leo turn his head, following her step outside the room without saying anything. The worried look on her face makes him grateful, by the fact that she care about Jackson.
They spend the whole night accompany Jackson before leave around 9 the next morning. Youngji insist to stay with Jackson so Leo and Eunji leave by themselves.
JACKSON : Taek, can you bring my other cloth tomorrow. This hospital suit doesn't match me at all.
YOUNGJI : Be thankful or i'll wrap you up with those shower curtain instead ~
LEO : I think those curtain will match you the best =p
#18
Eunji went to her room after they done with their dinner while Youngji leave to the studio for her practice. As soon as she step outside, the door opened again from the back with Eunji peek from behind with her big smile.
EUNJI : Make sure to be home early. Avoid those dark route and.. Your phone battery is full right???
YOUNGJI : Yes mom. Just go and sleep or your eye bag will go all the way to your chin tomorrow.
EUNJI : Hya!!!! Whatever, just make sure to be careful.
Youngji nodded as she walk further from the house. Right in front of the studio, she noticed that the light inside the studio was on. Scratching her head on wondering who will be at the studio this late, she went inside with a baseball bat that she pick from the front counter.
YOUNGJI : Hya!!!!! Aren't you were told not to do any of this for 3 month? Its only been 3 week!!!
JACKSON : What are you doing here this late? You are here alone? Hya???
YOUNGJI : I'm just... No, you! I really should tied your to the hospital bed before.
JACKSON : I didn't do anything that stretch too much, just a light move. My leg would end up rust all over if i were to stay still for 3 month. Heo Youngji, I told you to not wonder around at night.
YOUNGJI : I just had my dinner. Feels stuffed because i eat to much.. and i just happened to end up here.
The fight keep on going even when Youngji doing her warm up and other basic step. Jackson turn and started to work on the music instead after Youngji refused to let him did anything that need him to move around. Somehow, the quarrel become lyric in his song and he even able to composed a few paragraph of song with those lyric that come up.
The night gets deepen. The two end up fallen asleep while doing their own things. Youngji curled up on the coach while Jackson soundly sleep sitting with his head on the table until his phone suddenly ringing.
LEO : Where are you? Aren't you coming back? Do you need help?
JACKSON : No, i'm okay. I think i'm gonna sleep at studio tonight. Just lock the door, sleep tight honey =p
LEO : What with honey out of sudden? Go on and sleep, you scares people talking that way.
The call ended. Jackson turn and look at Youngji who's sleeping as if she's sleep at her own room. He laugh and quickly went to the next room and back with a blanket and put it on Youngji before back to his table. He can't stop smiling as he tried to back on sleeping, the image of Youngji sleeping with her messy hair and pink sock all the way right below her knee seems funny and cute at the same to him.
#19
Its a day before Christmas. Four of them already planned to leave for another trip for their holiday. Youngji already pack her things days before while Eunji did everything in rush just a night before. 7am sharp, both of the guy already at their front door waiting. The two then help out with arranging their things inside the car and they leave soon after.
Without having to be said, Leo and Eunji sit at the front while the other two at the back. No one said anything but everyone just move instinctively. The trip that took nearly 4 hours drive full with laugh and tease as they getting closer compared to the first trip they had before. Leo and Eunji taking turn driving until they reach the bottom of the mountain.
JACKSON : Look at the snow that pouring down. Will we be okay staying overnight up there?
LEO : We should hurry so we can set everything up before it turn dark.
The hiking start with everyone super exited walking up and even running here and there but after an hour hike up, its all disappear. Each only focus on keep on going, walk up with the only thing in their mind is to reach the camp site as soon as possible.
Jackson and Youngji holding onto each other since halfway of the hike. Leo on another hand, slow down and walk behind Eunji.. supporting her from her back quietly. They reach the camp site after almost 3 hours and started to set everything up since its already almost dark at the time. Within 1 hour, both tent are done been set up, the fire and even a place for them to eat all ready.
Sudden harsh wind makes everyone confused. The tent that made for keeping the food and to cook collapse because of the fallen branch. The guys quickly run and pick everything and put it inside their tent instead. They ended up having their dinner inside the girls tent which is instant noddle with sausage instead of other complicated things to cook that have been planned earlier.
YOUNGJI : Instant noodle is the best.. anytime, anywhere~
JACKSON : Don't eat the meat tomorrow. Keep on eating your instant things for breakfast, lunch and even dinner.
EUNJI : I really want to tie you guys together for a day and see how will you guy fight still..
JACKSON : We'll fight still...
Everyone laugh at Jackson remark and Youngji pout makes it funnier that makes the two started to fight again. The dinner ended quickly and everyone back inside the girls tent. Sitting in a circle, Jackson takes out all kind of games and put it in the middle. The next few hours spent on the games while they talk to each other about random things until Jackson suddenly froze. With his eyes wide open... Everyone focus turned to him.
JACKSON : We forgot one of the must do thing on this kind of trip..
EUNJI : What was it? Game?
JACKSON : I don't know what its called but those that they spin an empty bottle and as question. Lets do that.
LEO : So sudden..
Without having time to think about it, the game started. Jackson first to spin the bottle that caught Eunji as the first victim. Followed by he himself and Youngji and Leo. The cold night somehow heated as the question keep on coming out while the bottle are not being spin around anymore.
JACKSON : Here's my question "You guys are dating right?"
EUNJI : We are good =p
YOUNGJI : OOoo.. Cool!
LEO : My turn.. Jackson, have you confessed to that girl?
YOUNGJI : That girl?
JACKSON : Not yet.. but i will.
YOUNGJI : Who?
JACKSON : =P One person each. Its my turn now.. Teak, did you date anyone else before?
LEO : I did..
JACKSON : Aurghh... Can't you at least act like you are hesitated, at least.
EUNJI : My turn.. Yongji, Jackson, how did you think of him?
JACKSON : Me too.. me too. I have things that i want to ask her..
YOUNGJI : What???? Jackson, we are close. He's super good to me and i was comfortable with him.
LEO : OOOoo.. Jackson, what is it hat you want to ask Youngji?
JACKSON : That Jung whatever that you have crush onto, are you still had things on him?
Both Youngji and Leo looked up straight to Jackson as soon as he finished his question. Leo hold onto the sleeping bag tightly to cover his feels. Eagerly waiting for her reply.
YOUNGJI : That's all in the past. It'll be lie if i say that i already forgot about him completely but i did letting those silly childish feels of mine go as time passes. Will that answer your question Wang Jackson?
EUNJI : Why do i feels like you are explaining things to Jackson instead of playing the game..
YOUNGJI : I did explain things to him. We shared so many things that when i think back of it, i might hurt him somehow between those babbling of mine.
JACKSON : Did you confess to me just now?
YOUNGJI : Hyaa!!!!!!
The tent full with laughter once again with the start of the two fight. Youngji sigh in relief as they stopped the game. Things that happened in the past rushing in her mind that she a little worried that Jackson might hurt if the question keep on being asked. Leo also now able to sit comfortably. It was such honest session of the game but there's still some little secret that they wish to keep to themselves for everyone sake.
The night get deepen with the wind that getting harsh. Eunji keep on checking outside the tent time to time when Leo come closer and patted her shoulder.
LEO : Don't worry, it'll be okay. Its normal in this kind of place to have this kind of wind during night time.
The next morning, four of them walk around the area enjoying the heaven-like view with everything covered in snow. Jackson and Youngji walk side by side, looking close as ever which makes Leo smile in ease. His guilty over the fact that he keep the JungLeo issue wash away after hearing Youngji words last night and now seeing the two looking like that, he finally really at ease.
Leo then, gathering all the courage that he had and reach out for Eunji hand while they walk. Once again, a smile appear on his face by the fact that Eunji didn't pull her hand nor avoiding him this time.
The pair then walk separately, privately enjoying the view with their partner for nearly an hour before hey get back to the camp site and getting ready to leave.

Youngji pull her diary out from her drawer, going trough few page and smile. They are so many things happened along the way, each written down in the diary in detail.The friendship, unexplained ship and not the relationship.. Each of them grow and matured as time passes. Eunji and Leo are officially a pair now, even having plan to tie a knot soon while herself and Jackson are now in a phase where they can proudly say out that they are dating each other.
Honesty is one of the most important things in whatever kind of relationship we are in so do between the four of them. But amidst of it, there's still things that better to be kept as secret forever so no one hurt even the slightest which is what she, Jackson, Leo and even Eunji decide to them self.
She then closed the book and put it back inside the drawer before left the room. Jackson voice already can be heard asking her to hurry up so they can leave to the studio together. On the table outside, a pack of sandwich with a box of milk neatly arrange on the table with the sticky note on it, again.
"Make sure to eat. I'm leaving to Busan with Leo and we'll stay there overnight. Jackson will stay at our place instead so you can sleep comfortably with him guarding up the door.. keke~ "
YOUNGJI : Stop shouting! You have the key, so just come in. Its saturday!
JACKSON : I lost the key.. But i bring your breakfast so do not get angry, well even if you did.. don't be for too long.
YOUNGJI : Just come in. I need to pack a few other thing still ~
JACKSON : I know it, take your time.. i'm going to sleep anyway.
YOUNGJI : Sleep, just sleep.. stop talking and save some so you have enough to talk with my mom later.
JACKSON : Don't make me nervous by saying that.
YOUNGJI : Sleep.. sleep ~
