"heeseung's so cute!" yuna told both sunghoon and yuna and the boy just laughed at her since he hadn't seen her this excited before especially over a guy who wasn't a member of BAP or jake.

"if i knew you would like him, i would've introduced you guys earlier" sunghoon responded, patting yuna's head

"who's..heeseung?" soovin asked curiously as she was completely lost and didn't know who they were talking about

"he's a 3rd year on the dance team" sunghoon responded, "he's also top of his class and he's also one of jake and i's friend"

"everyone seems to be top ranks" soovin laughed, "how'd you guys do on the test by the way?"

"could've been better" yuna responded, a sigh coming out afterwards, "guess i'll just study more harder"

"you'll get a good grade eventually" soovin comforted her and yuna nodded

soon, jake finally came by to their lunch table and sat beside soovin while yuna and sunghoon were across from them.

"here you go" he placed a plastic bottle of coffee next to soovin's lunch tray

"oh" soovin was kinda shocked since she didn't ask for it. she looked at jake with a grin on her face, "thank you"

yuna bit her lip but shook her head and looked at jake, "hey jake" he looked up at her, "if you want..you don't have to tutor me anymore"

"huh why?" jake asked, curious since it was so out of the blue

"someone else offered to tutor me and since i feel bad for taking up more of your time so i thought i could take the chance" she explained

"who offered you?"

"heeseung"

"my friend heeseung?? the 3rd year heeseung? wasn't that the guy you we-" he cut himself off, clearing his throat, "h-how do you know him?"

"i may or may not have thrown my crumbled test paper at him on accident" she mumbled but the group heard it and they bursted out laughing at the incident

"you really threw your test at him??" sunghoon laughed at her, hitting her arm from laughing as he was about to choke on air

"it was an accident!" she brushed off sunghoon's arm from her, "he was nice about it though" she looked back at jake, "so i was thinking since he offered, you don't have to tutor me and you have more free time"

"yah what about me?" sunghoon spoke, realizing that jake was supposed to tutor both him and yuna

"i don't know. heeseung's your friend. i'm sure he wouldn't mind tutoring you as well"

"oh yah we're friends..i kinda forgot: sunghoon leaned back and tapped his chopsticks on the side of his tray

"i mean i still don't mind-" soovin placed her hand on jake's shoulder which made him freeze and cut his sentence, looking at soovin

"stop adding things to your agenda. you're committing suicide at this rate. you're busy enough so take a break and let this heeseung dude tutor yuna and maybe sunghoon"

"yah okay.." jake spoke with hesitation after hearing soovin

soovin smiled and took her hand off, continuing to eat her food and it went silent after that.

yuna took in a breath at this interaction and stared at her metal tray, 'i can't hate her..' yuna thought and she hated herself for having these thoughts

"you guys want do something afterschool?" sunghoon then asked to break the silence

soovin and jake looked at each other, "i kinda promised soovin i would have dinner with her since i went over to yuna's house instead"

"but! you guys can join" soovin offered the two to make sure they didn't feel left out.

sunghoon looked over at yuna but she had a smile on like always and shook her head, "it's okay. i have a lot of homework i need to catch up on and i have a track meet so it's okay you guys can go"

jake and soovin nodded, "sunghoon?" jake asked

"i got homework to do also" he didn't want to third wheel and would only go if yuna was going, "sorry"

"oh well" soovin and jake looked at each other, "guess it's a date"

jake choked on air while yuna froze at soovin's words, "d-date?" jake stammered, turning red and soovin nodded

"oh wait is that uncomfortable?? i said it out of no where. i'm sor-"

"n-no it's okay" jake brushed it off as he got back his breath

sunghoon of course looked at yuna but the smile on her face was still there

'yuna stop pretending this isn't hurting you...'

♡

jake and soovin laughed while they ate their food as they were talking about their lives and academic and what they want to do in the future and their other interests as well

"so jake i'm curious" she began, putting her chopsticks down, "have you had a girlfriend or liked someone?"

"that was a sudden question" he chuckled, "but no i've never had a girlfriend"

"you didn't answer the 2nd question" she responded, crossing her arms and laying them on the table

"i may or may not have liked yuna for a little bit" before soovin could say anything, he stopped her, "but that's when we were young, i don't like her anymore"

"really?"

jake nodded, "what about you?" soovin perked her ears up at this question

"hmm...just 1 boyfriend last year but we broke up just because we weren't feeling it anymore. my feelings weren't as strong as they used to be when we first dated"

"has anyone caught your attention in this school?" jake asked another question causing soovin to go silent, "have you..?"

"maybe.." she smiled, looking at her food that was almost gone

"who is it? tell me. we're friends now" jake smiled, excited like a puppy

"that is a secret" she responded as she looked at him, "only for me to know"

"rude" he chuckled

"but are you sure that there are no strings attached to you and yuna?" she had to make sure just in case, "i don't want yuna getting the wrong idea if she does like you and or you like her"

"no more strings attached. we are just close friends now" jake answered her with full honesty

"are you positive?" she raised an eyebrow, "i won't tell yuna obviously if you do still like her"

"i can assure you no more strings are there"
