"Kayden ah! There's an audition for Source Hit Entertainment. You should join!" I shouted. We are currently here in their house and he's cooking.

"You know I'm shy. I don't do that kind of things Era-ssi. How about you?" He asked.

"Ani. I think being an idol is not for me. You join Kayden ah! You'll be popular soon. I just can feel it!" I excitedly told him. He chuckled and ruffled my hair.

"Arrasseo. Rari wants it, so Kayn will do it." He said. I smiled and sat down the chair.

"What are you cooking Kayden ah?"

"Your favorite." He simply replied. I just nodded and looked away.

We started eating and we talked a lot. He ask for suggestions about his upcoming auditions. I suggest lots of songs and he said he'll practice all of those. We finished eating and he's sleeping now. He's beside me and I can't even sleep.

I looked at Kayden. Why does everytime I look at him, my heart is always pounding? Am I falling for Kayden? No. No. Era-ssi. You're definitely wrong. I sighed and felt Kayden moved.

"Quit staring rari. I'm guessing you're having a crush on me." He chuckled. He's using his bedroom voice right now and I am in awe.

"W-what? No way!" I shouted. He laughed hard. I glared at him.

"Why are you shouting? It's true right?" He chuckled. I glared at him.

"Ani. You're not my type!"

"Really? Then who? Huh? I didn't know you're having a crush now." He suspiciously said. I rolled my eyes.

"I don't want any guy. I want to be single." I said and smiled.

"How about me?"

"Of course you're an exception! You're my best friend." I smiled and pat his head.

"Yeah, right." He said. I chuckled at his reaction.

"How about Therese? Aren't you gonna court her?" I asked him. Hurt yourself Era.

"What? What's with Therese?" He said.

I shrugged and smiled.

"You like her right?" I told him. He shook his head and laughed.

"And where did you hear that?" He asked. So, it's true then?

"It's a hot topic in school."

"Tss. Rumors again." I looked at him. He seemed, annoyed.

"Don't mind them. Besides, you can date anyone you like. But they have to get pass through me first arrasseo?" I said. He chuckled.

"Can I date you instead?" He said. My eyes widened. He chuckled.

"What? N-no!" I told him. He laughed. His mood is back.

"Why not? You said I can date anyone, why not I date you instead?" He smirked. I punched his arms and he just laugh.

"I'm just joking rari, calm down okay? Calm down." He hugged me and pinch my cheeks.

"Stay with me forever okay?" He said. Goodness, why is he being like this?

The next day, it's foundation day. People are busy around. Here I am, fixing myself in front of the school's mirror. I want to look good.

I wore a black pants, black sweater and white shoes. I braided my hair in two and viola. I'm done! I looked for Kayden around the school and I see him on a wedding booth. With Therese. They look...happy.

I looked away and sighed. I guess, I just have to go now. People around the school start shipping them. Which makes my heart aches. Where do I go now? Hmmm. Should I go home? Yeah. Maybe. I should.

Instead of going home, I roamed around the city. I bought foods and decided to eat them in the sea side. I saw two young kids arguing. It's 5 in the afternoon. I can't believe I roamed for 5 hours.

"I'm hungry oppa." The girl said. The boy pat her head and smiled.

"Once we sell of this flowers we'll buy you food arrasseo? Just hang on." He said. I smiled. They're so cute. I went to them and faced them.

"Annyeong!" I greeted. They seem shocked.

"Unnie! Can you buy our flowers? We're hungry." The young girl said. I chuckled at her statement and nodded.

"Ne, I will. How much is that?" I gave them money.

"Wah. This is a huge amount, gomawo noona!" The boy said and hugged me. I smiled. I handed them the foods I bought earlier.

"Here, you can take this. Eat well okay?" I said. They nodded and jumped out. They seemed happy. And somehow, I forgot about what happened earlier.

It's already 7:30 pm in the evening and I haven't got home yet. My phone is dead. I decided to walk and go home already. Our house is only steps away. I can do this.

I arrived at the house only to see my parents and Kayden outside. What's happening?

"Eomma, what happened?" I asked them the moment I went to them. Kayden looked back at me and hugged me.

"Where have you been? You've been gone for 7 hours!" He scolded me. I rolled my eyes.

"I'm okay though. I'm safe." I said and looked away. He sighed.

"We're glad you're okay dear. Kayden has been looking for you everywhere." Appa said. I nodded and went inside.

"Have you eaten? I'll prepare for you." Mom said. I shook my head.

"Ani, I'm full. You can rest now eomma, appa. Thank you." I said and smiled a bit.

"Okay, call us if you need something," Dad said and left us here in the living room. I looked at Kayden who's now glaring at me. What?

"What?" I raised my eyebrows.

"What, what?! I've been searching for you for hours. Where have you been? I haven't seen you at school!" He roared.

"Why are you angry? I just went out to have time for myself. And besides, I'm fine. Nothing happened bad to me, right?" I sarcastically said. His brows went up. And when he do that, he's angry. Oh, oh!

"What tone is that Era-ssi?" He seriously asked. "You even rolled your eyes on me earlier!"

"Can I not do that? Why are you overreacting? I'm fine now okay?" I exclaimed.

"Me? Overreacting? You were gone for 7 fcking hours Era! What do you think I will do?"

"Huh! You were having fun with yourself there, I want to have fun too. Am I not allowed to do that?" I roared. I can't take this anymore.

"You should at least texted me or told me before you went off!"

"You were busy with Therese, I can't bug you just because I'm leaving. And my phone is dead I can't call anyone," I told him.

"The next time you want to have fun, tell me. So that, I can't go crazy just looking for you," he said and his gaze diverted to the flowers I'm holding. "Who gave you that?"

"This? I bought it myself, since no one can buy it for me, I bought it. Are we done? Are you done? You can now leave." I said and looked away.

"Did you just shut me out?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm tired. I want to sleep." I whispered. He sighed.

"Okay, I let you pass this time." He said.

"Go now, I don't need you." I said.

"Really?!" He exclaimed. I nodded and sighed.

"Really." I said and looked at him.

"Fine!" He said and left the house. I sighed and looked away. Did I just pushed him away?
