"Han Seojun! I thought you stopped riding this death trap?" Miyeon asked, snatching the helmet away from the boy as he sat up, brushing his hair out of his eyes.

"No 'are you okay' this time?" Seojun asked, gaze drifting from the girl above him to the boy stood behind her, eyebrows raising and a teasing smirk appearing on lips. "I appear to have interrupted something. Don't mind me, get back to your little date."

"No I won't!" Miyeon replied, taking a step back as Seojun reached for the helmet again. She paused, twisting around to face Hyunwoo. "I'm really sorry, this shouldn't take too long."

"Take all the time you need?" Song Hyunwoo was, admittedly, rather confused over the relationship between Miyeon and Seojun. He had seemed so protective of her the other day, and now here he was almost running her over.

"Han Seojun! Does my word, your mom's or Jugyeong's mean nothing to you?" Miyeon asked, particular emphasis on the bit she knew would stick. "I thought you stopped - that's what wall the tonkatsu was about! You wanted to give me or Jugyeong your keys."

"Well circumstances change. In case you haven't noticed-" Seojun lowered his voice and forced Miyeon to move closer. "- Me and Jugyeong don't really have the best relationship right now. All she does is tell me about how she likes Lee Suho and how she's dating him."

"Yes I know, you literally threw up in my - hey! I didn't say you could have this back." Miyeon backed off even further as Seojun took the opportunity of her having to move nearer to hear him to try and get to his helmet.

Instead, he got to his feet and nodded rather awkwardly at Hyunwoo before trying to pick up his motorbike, checking it over for any damage before leaning against it. "Hwang Miyeon on a date?" He began, laughing in an awful teasing way that had the girl's cheeks turning pink. "Now that's a rare sight."

"Oh I could get into rare sights with you and your relationships, Seojun." Miyeon replied, a smirk fiddling on her lips. "I wouldn't go there, if I was you."

"What are you planning on doing? Digging the dagger even deeper into the wound, sprinkle a little salt there?" Seojun rose an eyebrow. "Just give me my helmet back and I'll let you get on with your evening."

"Seojun come on. You said you were stopping doing this - what are you even doing here anyway? You're not looking for that group of boys again are you - I think your mom would kill me if you got into trouble with them." Miyeon clutched his helmet even tighter as he watched her.

"I'm not, Miyeon. I promise. I really just wanted to go out on a drive." Seojun said. "I'll write it in note form if that's better for you?" His eyes flooded with honesty and Miyeon sighed, holding out his helmet.

"I just don't want you getting killed." The Hwang girl said. "Just.. go home, okay? Tell your mom and Gowoon I'll come and see them soon."

"Good, she's been worried since I mentioned that you had left your parents' house." Seojun nodded, brushing hair out of his eyes before lifting the helmet up, it perching against the top of his head. "Now, enjoy your evening, and if anything goes wrong call me."

"I'll probably call Suho if it was anything serious." Miyeon mused, and saw Seojun's expression harden. "I'm joking. Sort of. He knows taekwondo - but if I actually needed someone to fight, I'd call you."

"If someone's looking for a fight then you should have someone who actually can, not just someone who knows all these fancy moves." Seojun nodded, peering past her. "Did you hear that?"

"Perfectly." Hyunwoo admitted.

"Then I'll be going." And within moments, Seojun had pulled the helmet over his head and set off, the sound of the motorbike fading quickly as he drove away.

"Did I just hear you two conversing so casually about who you would call if I did something wrong?" Hyunwoo asked, as Miyeon returned to where he was waiting.

"Possibly. Jugyeong went on a date once and it was an older guy and me and Suho went to make sure nothing happened - turns out this guy had three girlfriends and he beat him up in the toilets. He can be very serious about these things." Miyeon shrugged, a smile edging onto her lips.

"I hope I don't get to experience it." Hyunwoo replied, cheeks and ears turning pink as he saw Miyeon's eyebrow raise. "I mean - I won't.. I won't get to experience it. Because I won't do anything that needs it." He quickly added.

"Nice save." Miyeon mused as they continued walking, finally going down the street they had aimed to do before the Hwang girl almost got knocked over.

"You and Seojun seem pretty close. Forgive me if it's too much but.. have you ever dated?" Hyunwoo seemed so nervous as he asked it that Miyeon knew it was a genuine question, rather than anything else.

"We've been friends for years. Sure we ended things on a bad foot last year and they were just as bad when I came back - but we're just friends." Miyeon reassured him. "Besides - I got kidnapped because someone thought I was dating him. I've said it before and to his face, but I pity the girl he'll end up dating."

"Kidnapped?" Hyunwoo repeated and seemed rather taken aback. "I don't think I remember Hwang Miyeon being this interesting." He smiled at the girl's reaction, dodging as she gently punched his shoulder. "Or this violent."

"You've barely seen the half of it." Miyeon replied, tilting her chin upwards as she smiled, winking at him with laughter in her eyes.

"Oh I don't doubt that."
