"I really think that you should go Saeyoung. Just by looking at his messages, he's really trying his best for you. Go and talk things out, you know?"

Nina's right. Saeyoung shouldn't let her feelings get in the way when it comes to clearing things up with Ni-ki. Yes, their relationship is still kinda blunt and blurry but a proper talk and bonding won't be hurt right? I mean, declining the boy's invitation and leaving him behind seems really rude to say the least, considering Ni-ki's courage and effort just to ask her out after school.

"I don't really want to come up as a rude and insensitive person so, I guess I'll go?"

Nina gave her a thumbs up.  "Now that's the spirit! Besides, it's not like Takara will be there right?"

Or so hopefully she won't. Ni-ki, Takara and Saeyoung spending the rest of their time together? Saeyoung would look like Takara's friend joining her and Ni-ki out on a date. She'd definitely be third wheeling right behind them, no doubt. The atmosphere would feel so wrong on so many levels and Saeyoung would rather go home and watch the 4th season of my hero academia.

Because if ever Takara will be tagging along with her and Ni-ki, then what's the use of accepting his invitation anyway? She's just putting her feelings at risk.

"Well yeah, hopefully she won't." Saeyoung's voice lowered down to a whisper at the last part of her sentence.

Chaeji and Nina gave a worried look to the girl, they are aware on what kind of triangle they're friend is in. Triangle? Or is it a Square? Nevertheless, it's probably still confusing and hurting Saeyoung. They wanted to try and find the right words to give her but none of them has ever experienced being in a love square before so they can't be so sure on that the words their about to say should be taken as a good advice.

"Don't worry, if ever Ni-ki does invite Takara, I'd be ready."  said Chaeji who rolled up her sleeves and tied her hair up to a ponytail. Judging from her actions, Saeyoung could already tell on what kind of plan Chaeji has have in mind.

Saeyoung gave in a small chuckle. "Chaeji, fighting Takara won't do you anything."

"But is it so bad to try?" Chaeji retorted, while tying a double knot on her shoe laces. Nina watched the two girls in amusement.

"Chaeji, no. I won't let you beat up Takara." Saeyoung replied. She didn't want to be the actual cause on why Takara will harmed and just by thinking about it, Chaeji's plan in kind off brutal, knowing that fighting is definitely going against the school rules.

Chaeji casually rolled her eyes and stood up straight, adjusting the skirt of her uniform.  "It's not like I'm going to fight her, I'll just be pulling her hair in different directions! Which direction should it be first, north, west, south or east?"

"I'll only let you harm Takara if you pull her hair in front of the door of the principal's office." Saeyoung smiled bitterly making Chaeji sigh in defeat.

"As much as I'd like to see you two argue about fighting Takara, Saeyoung you gotta go to the Park now. Ni-ki might already be waiting for you." Saeyoung nodded at Nina and started fixing her things.

Putting on her bag, Saeyoung walks to the exit of her classroom. Leaving the door, she stopped at the sight of Mei Xi and Aesoo who just appeared right in front of her. Aesoo gave Saeyoung a disgusted look.   "Eww! Since when did a stinky insect was allowed inside a neat and tidy classroom?"

Mei Xi then started laughing at her friend's insult. But Saeyoung didn't back down.  "Gross! Since when did the school started accepting trash collecting clowns? Just wanted to let you know, the circus is just down the road."

Nina and Chaeji laughed from behind while Saeyoung took her chance and walked along the hallways of her school with a satisfied look.

"Ni-ki, I don't really get it. Why did you invite me for?"

"You'll see, Saeyoung. Let's go?"

"Go where?" she questioned.

"Let me lead you."  Ni-ki lent out his hand for Saeyoung, with a smile. The girl sighed and immediately took it. Ni-ki chuckled.  "Alright then, let's go!" he led Saeyoung to a bike waiting for them right near the Park's fountain, the japanese boy hopped in and wore his helmet while Saeyoung just stared at the bike, she felt so curious on his plan.

"Well?"  Ni-ki's voice got Saeyoung out of her thoughts. "Aren't you going to hop in?" the girl nodded and sat right behind him. Before pedalling down to the location on where Ni-ki wants to take her, he pulled down the bike stand first and then stood up. He removed his school blazer and placed it on Saeyoung's lap.  "You're wearing a skirt and soon it will get windy on our way to our destination."

"I-I see. T-Thanks."

"Don't mention it." being a caring gentleman towards a girl has always been an advise from his Heeseung and Jay hyung, not wanting to make Saeyoung's decision of accepting his invitation regretful, he'd try his very best to impress her in every way he can.

The bike ride didn't really take too long, Ni-ki took her on a very relaxing ride, the cold breeze of the wind was calming. He even showed her new beautiful sceneries along the way, so far she's already enjoying her time with Ni-ki.

"We're here." he said as he stops the bike, puts down the bike stand and carefully removes his helmet. Seeing his messy air and ethereal side view as he hangs the helmet on the handle of the bicycle, Saeyoung couldn't dare deny that he looked attractive at this point. She can't stop but stare at his facial features, if there was another girl in Saeyoung's shoes right now, for sure she'd immediately fall for him.

"Look, I already know that I'm handsome as hell, no need to stare at me like that."

With that being said, Saeyoung snapped back into reality and rolled her eyes, standing up from her seat and leaving Ni-ki's school blazer. The boy watched as the Saeyoung started walking away from him, he laughed at her cute actions and caught up to her.  "Why so mad? I'm just telling the truth." he said with a mischievous smile.

"You're not funny."

"Well I'm not trying to be funny at all."

"Okay, and?"

Ni-ki pouted.  "Saeyoung-ah you're so mean. If I let you stare at me like what you did a few minutes ago, will you be kind again?" he teased. Sadly he didn't get a reply from the girl but he did see the some small pink tints showing up from her cheeks. He found it cute. If Saeyoung was this easy to tease, he'd play around her the whole day long, without getting bored.

But then again, he'd look like a puppy trailing his owner.  "By the way, do you like water? Are you a fan of swimming?" questioned Ni-ki.

Saeyoung simply nodded.  "Well yeah, I like swimming. And it actually feels nice to actually play around water when I get the chance."

"If that's the case..." ran off into the woods. Their current location is filled with trees, and they don't seem to be that far from the city as well. Saeyoung didn't look back and ran off to follow Ni-ki.

"Ni-ki! Where are you? I don't want to get lost in here. Ni-ki!" she called out hoping to hear a reply. Being alone and lost, isn't really what Saeyoung has in mind, if Ni-ki won't show up she would run back to where they parked the bicycle and wait for him to return there.

"Ni-ki-"

Out of nowhere Saeyoung got attacked as Ni-ki started using his water gun to fire water to her. Now this is Nishimura Riki, being playful. Saeyoung ran behind a tree and trying to avoid Ni-ki and his water gun from hitting her, currently her uniform is now soaked because of him.

"Saeyoung-ah! Don't hide. Let's play!"  he shouted like a kid. Ni-ki removed the neck tie on his collar and rolled the sleeves of his uniform up. "Saeyoung?" and just like that, Ni-ki got splashed with a bucket of water from behind. He turned around to see Saeyoung.

"Coincidentally, I happen to see buckets of water, water balloons and two more water guns from a spot not so far from here. Don't tell me that you had this whole thing planned do you?"

Ni-ki chuckled, as he dropped his water gun and raised both of his hands up as if he was a criminal that was caught on a crime scene. "Alright, you got me." he looked up to face her but Saeyoung went on ahead and started using the other water gun she found.

"You want me to play? No worries, I'll play with you." she laughed.

Ni-ki then started chasing her. If there are people watching them right now, they'd look like 7 year old children playing as if nothing in the world matters to them. From all the things Saeyoung had in mind on why Ni-ki wanted to meet her, she never expected that something like this would happen. She felt like a stress free child again.

As she ran and at the same time tried to shoot the boy with water, Ni-ki manages to catch up with her and now, they're only a few steps apart. It's just the tree that Saeyoung is hiding from that's separating the two.  "Come here, Roh Saeyoung!"

Saeyoung just stuck her tongue out at him.  "Try and catch me first!" for awhile they played in circles as Ni-ki tried to chase Saeyoung around the tree.

Ni-ki stopped for a second and catches his breathe. "Hey, wanna make a bet?"

"A bet? Sure."

Ni-ki smirked, "If I catch you, you will give me access on you're phone for a week."

Saeyoung raised her left eyebrow.  "A week? That's too long."

"Okay fine, how about four days?"

The girl nodded. "Deal. And if I you don't manage to catch me by the next 15 minutes, I will gain access on yours."

"Deal."

"But give me a head start first!"

"Go ahead." before she could start running, Saeyoung notices the sudden change of Ni-ki's look. He was staring at somewhere behind her. Getting curious she looked behind her and tried to find on what could have made Ni-ki look terrified. If if we're something supernatural, Saeyoung won't hesitate to run back at the city.

She doesn't really do things scary and it would probably leave her scared during the night.

"Ni-ki?" she called. The girl turned around to see Ni-ki gone. He was out of sight and that left the girl scared. Again, being alone in the woods, cold and soaked would be the least thing she wanted to be in. The sudden disappearance of the blonde japanese boy, made Saeyoung conscious of her surroundings.

"Ni-ki?" she called out again.

Suddenly, Saeyoung got swooped up from her feet. Her foot leaving the ground made her yelp, startled from the sudden action. She looked at her side and saw Ni-ki carrying her bridal style.

"Caught you."  he whispered to her ear.
