(Ahhhh it's been so long since I've updated this book! Thank you so much to those that waited patiently and came back for this update. I wish I could be more active. Things are going to get a bit crazy as the dance approaches. Also, I changed the title of this book because I like this one better haha~
Thanks again, I love you all!)

The first thing I was greeted by while entering the school was Yooni with wide eyes pacing up to me. I cocked my head in confusion, waiting for her to catch-up.

"So, um," she started while keeping he voice low, "Deiji texted me last night about this party she's going to with a couple of her friends."

My eyebrows lowered as I studied Yooni. "Are you sure that wasn't a nightmare?"

Yooni retrieved her phone to show me their conversation.

Deiji :
Hey, Yooni!!! So, tomorrow at 9 I'm meeting up with my friends at the park so we can walk to this party together. It would be sooo cool if you came with us! Wear something that'll turn heads ;)

Yooni :
Alright, I'll check it out.

Deiji :
OMG YES! I'll see you then!

I handed the phone back and let out a small chuckle. "Good luck with that. Are you going?"

Yooni pressed her lips together in thought. "I think I might as well. It's not like I'll have to hang out with them the whole time."

"Yikes."

"Do you want to come?"

I shook my head. "I can't. I'm going to Sagang's band practice later today and I don't think I would have the energy to hurry to get ready for a party afterward."

Yooni's face shifted to a smirk as she nudged my arm. "Someone seems to be getting close to their cupid match."

I groaned while shoving her away. "Would you shush?"

I received a giggle in return. "Get to class." Yooni shoved me this time in the direction I had to walk in while she went her own way.

I rolled my eyes with a small smile while walking off. To get there, I had to pass through the freshmen hallway. My first thought was Sagang and I caught myself searching the row of lockers for him to be standing by one.

"Hey, look, it's Jaehwa," Sagang called before I spotted him. I flashed him a bright smile as he came walking up to me. Behind him, I could also see Junwook approaching us, carrying a small container.

"What's up?" I asked Sagang, glancing in Junwook's direction.

"Not much. I''m just in a really good mood this morning." Sagang stuck his hands in his sweatshirt pocket and glanced at the ground.

"That's great! Anything, in particular, making you so happy?" I studied his warm expression that still faced the ground.

"Just your smile." Sagang's response came out quieter than his normal volume and was followed by a small laugh. His eyes came back up to meet mine.

I was sort of taken aback by his reply and a bit confused by the sudden rush of heat to my cheeks. I chuckled along with him and tried to push any butterflies in my stomach away.

"Do you want to go get some ice cream before band practice?" Sagang asked, not noticing Junwook coming up to us. "We can walk to the place in town after school."

"Oh yeah, of course." I nodded enthusiastically. My attention turned to Junwook, who glanced between us with raised eyebrows. I looked down at the container in his hands and realized that he was storing a stack of cookies. "Ooh, what's that for?" I asked him, giving a small nudge to his arm.

"Um—uh." Junwook looked down at the container and quickly hid them behind his back. "For me." He quickly finished.

"Well, you better hid those from Yooni because she'll surely ask for some." I chuckled. "I need to go to class. I'll see you both later."

As I started to walk to class, my smile slowly fell. Junwook seemed to be awfully suspicious about the cookies he had. Was it possible that he was going to give them to someone he liked? Or maybe someone likes Junwook and gave them to him?
