"Kevin! You're just a bit slower than Hyunjin.", Chan said, pulling him up from the pool. Hyunjin had climbed up by himself and was walking towards Minho who gave him a high-five. "I know", Kevin said, not really paying attention to Chan's assessment. He was focused on Hyunjin who was laughing with his friends like the annoying guy he was.

After Chan finished talking, he walked towards Hyunjin. "Hey!"

Hyunjin turned around, not amused by Kevin's action. "What? Want to challenge me to a race again?"

Kevin rolled his eyes. "Oh, shut up"

A smirk plastered on his face when he mentioned, "Na-Eun was it?". Hyunjin flinched, his eyebrows knitted as if Kevin had offended him. "She's a cute girl. You have a good taste"

"Don't touch her", Hyunjin gritted his teeth. Kevin raised both of his hands. "What's wrong with you best friends misunderstanding me?"

"What?"

Kevin laughed, "I mean...you shouldn't be worried of me. Worry about Jisung instead. That squirrel is making an advance behind your back" Seeing no reaction from Hyunjin, Kevin walked away to let Hyunjin digest the information he just gave.

Kevin told himself Hyunjin was slightly better at anything than himself but he knew one thing, Hyunjin was dumb. He will probably do something dumb, a silly mistake just because of a girl.

Hyunjin looked at his phone, picking it up. "What are you doing? No phone during practice", Jaemin, another teammate told him. "Right...sorry"

—FWEET!!!

"Okay, get in place!"

"Na-Eun!" , The said girl turned around, beaming her bright smile to Jisung who was jogging to her. "Oh, Jisung-ah!" She waved excitedly.

Jisung stopped in front of her, pinching her cheeks. "Oh, why are you so smiley today?", Na-Eun slapped his hands away and rubbed her cheeks, clicking her tongue. "Why? Can't I be happy?"

"I don't mean it like that. You know that" Jisung pouted. "So, what's the good news?"

Na-Eun clasped her hands together. "Do you remember that day we went hiking?" Jisung nodded. "What about it?"

"I told you I have to take pictures for my assignment and my professor liked it!" Na-Eun clasped Jisung's hands with hers and started jumping around like a child with Jisung. "He's going to put it up on the weekly gallery!"

"Weekly gallery?" Jisung tilted his head. "Ah... it's like a gallery for student to showcase their pictures but only certain students can put their pictures there!"

"I don't really understand but it must be a good thing." Jisung said as they stopped jumping in a circle. "So, wanna celebrate it?"

"Celebrate?" Jisung pulled out two tickets from his pocket. "Let's go ice skating tomorrow!"

"You're free, right?" Na-Eun stared at the tickets before grinning. "Of course! You're like the best friend I will ever get!" Na-Eun beamed, hugging Jisung before her phone vibrated. "Oh, I have to go now. Mr.Chi is probably waiting for me to feed it at home"

Jisung smiled at the mention of the cat and waved at her. "See you tomorrow at our usual spot!" Na-Eun bowed her head, running off to the bus stop.

When the girl disappeared, he pulled his fist down and up. "Yes!"

"I got a date with Na-Eun~" he sing sing, walking the opposite way.

"Hello?" , Na-Eun asked, not really looking at the caller's ID.

"It's me, Hyunjin", Na-Eun's face brightened up. "Oh, it's jinnie!"

"What's up?" She asked him, getting into her bus and beeping her student card.

"Oh, just the usual but I have something to ask you" Na-Eun hummed. "Are you free tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow?" Na-Eun rubbed her neck. She had a plan with Jisung. "I'm sorry-" Hyunjin cut her words off. "Let's go skating tomorrow! I don't take no as an answer!" Hyunjin said before ending the call.

"What was that?" Na-Eun asked, looking at the phone with a perplexed expression. She tried to call him back a few times but he wasn't answering. She was pretty sure he was at practice this time around. He wasn't even supposed to be calling her but for him to do that during practice must mean he really wanted to go skating.

Na-Eun slumped in her seat, kicking the seat in front of her a few times. "How do I tell him no?", She really wanted to go with Hyunjin but Jisung already invited him.

"But...", Na-Eun thought of something. "They're best friends!" She told herself. Although the tree of them never hung out together, she didn't think it would be a chaos.

"I can just go with both...they want to go skating anyway and if we go together maybe they will stop fighting?", Na-Eun came up with the conclusion.

It felt weird hanging out with them alone when she knew they were best friends anyway. This was a perfect plan.

With a proud smile as if she had found the solution to cure cancer, she texted Hyunjin 'okei! 😄😄😄' before looking out the window again
