"My head hurts, oh wow." Harper massaged her temples using her fingers.
Minzu released a sigh. "Same. I didn't get to review some parts last night."
Harpee stood up. "Let's go eat, now. I'm hungry as shit." She wrapped her arm around her best friend's shoulders and started walking with her out of the classroom.
"Oh, Harper!"
Both girls turned around as they heard Haruto called. "Hunter said he wants you to eat with us today."
"Yeah, sure." She smiled. "Let's go together."
"Uh, did Dylan tell you if he's going to eat with us?" Harper faced Minzu.
She looked away. "Um... he told me he has some important things to work with."
Harper pouted as she nods.
The four of them including Jace, made their way to the cafeteria. After getting themselves some food, they looked for Hunter's table.
"Hey hello, everyone. What's up?" Harper sat in front of her brother, in between Haruto and Minzy.
She stopped as she saw Allen looking like he's trying not to laugh as he looks at her and Haruto. "Uhh.. Is there something wrong, Allen?"
He breathed. "No, there isn't really, no. There's nothing wrong. Everything's toootally fine."
"Allen." Hunter looked at him, warning.
"Ooh."
Haruto then looked at Harper's plate. He grabbed his untensils to get some food from her to tease her. "H-hey, that's my food-."
He smiled after putting it in his mouth. "I know."
Harper then did the same as he glared at him. "Fair."
Allen laughed. "Look how different you are to those." He pointed at Minzy who's in front of Mason. He was giving her some food from his plate.
"Ewh!" Both Haruto and Harper's faces were in disgust.
"How's Dylan? I've never seen him in a while." Hunter drank a bit of his water.
"Hmm, don't mind him." The younger sister shrugged. "Busy, I guess?"
Danny, another friend of theirs raised one of his eye brows. "Busy for what?"
"Maybe, he'll confess to Harper and-." Allen was interrupted by Minzy's coughing caused by choking in to her food. Mason then gave her water.
"You okay?" Harper rubbed her back. Minzy then nodded as she gave her an ok sign.
Harper faced Allen and shook her head. "I don't think so."
Jace checked Haruto. He's eating fast and quietly, his eyes on his food, listening to the conversation going.
In just a few minutes, Haruto stood up. "I'm going, now."
"Hey? You finished too early." Harpee looked up at him. "Just wait for us."
Haruto shrugged. "I'll go up to our classroom, now."
"Ahh... okay."
She looked back at the boys. All eyes on her. "What?"
———
"Let's go to the rooftop!" Minzy looked at Harper.
"Uhh... I'm not in the mood to go up there right now." She shrugged.
"Come on, Harp."
"You.. you can go with Jace if you want." She looked at him. He's been walking with them on their way back to their classroom.
He shook his head a no. "I'll go back now." He walked away from them and made his way to their classroom.
Harper released a sigh. "Fine. We'll be there quick, 'kay?"
Minzy nodded and smiled. She snaked her hand around Harper's arm. They made their way to the rooftop.
Harper walked and around, wind making her hair fly. She placed her hands inside her coat's pockets. "Why do you wanna come here again, Zie?" She turned around and saw no Minji around.
Instead, she saw someone else looking at her smiling. "Oh, Dylan. You're here. Where's Minzy?"
Dylan looked back and shrugged. "I don't know." He walked closer to her.
"That girl! Geez. She was the one who insisted to come here but then she'll leave me?" Harper gulped. "Then, we can go back inside."
She tried to walked towards the door but Dylan stopped her by holding her wrist. "Hey.."
"Hmm?" She looked up at him.
"Let's stay here for a while. I want to give you something."
She faced him properly. Dylan then gave her a box.
She raised her eye brow. "What's this? It's not my birthday, Dy."
"Open it." He smiled.
Harper opened the box and saw bunch of photos of her and Dylan together. From back to when they were younger to today. Aside from those, there are chocolates and some of Hayeol's favorite candies.
There's a paper folded on top. "Read it." She looked at him before unfolding the paper. She saw a short letter written by him.
'Harper Gray.
I've known you for so long and I've been with you ever since. You care for me too much and I really really appreciate it. I appreciate the love you give me as you friend. It's funny how Minzy always tease us as lovers but, no. We aren't. And I can't deny the fact that I like those teasings. I want you to know that you're important to me. And I want you to address me not as your friend anymore. I want to be more than that.'
She looked at him and saw him biting his lip. She smiled. "Explain this to me, Dylan."
"Geez, can you wait?"
She rolled her eyes.
He breathed in and out. "Okay."
"I like you, okay? I think for a fact that you know me better than anyone else. And I'm sorry for making you mad at me days before. It's all my fault for not letting you know some of the happenings in my life. But yeah, I promise that I won't keep secrets from you anymore..."
"Now that I'm asking you to be my girlfriend."
Harper smiled as she looked in to his eyes. Is this real?
"Harper?"
"What.. huh?"
"Your answer? Yes or yes?"
Harper bit her lips. She liked Doyoung for so long. Like he said, she knows him more than anyone else does. "What can I say? I'm now your girlfriend."
He smiled. He screamed and gave Harper a tight hug.
"You're so happy, huh?" Harper laughed as she hugged him back.
Dylan nodded. He lets go of her. "That was quick."
"No more secrets, like you said." She reminded.
"Yeah.. no more secrets."
Harper giggled. "Let's go back, it's almost time."
"Yes, babe." He winked.
"Stop!" She hit him. "Can you tell me about this box?"
"Minzy helped me do it."
She gasped. "I knew it! That's why it's so pretty!"
"I feel offended?"
She laughed.
As they made their way back inside the building, Harper slowed down her walking and looked at Dylan from behind.
She can't help but smile.
A name plate caught her attention from the ground. She leaned down to pick it up but she felt a hand pulling her wrist.
"I'll bring you to your classroom, is that fine-." Dylan turned around and saw no one behind her. "Harp?"
He soon saw a name plate from the ground and picked it up.
"Ah! Dylan, is that mine?" The boy looked at the name plate. "Oh, yes, it is. Thank you for picking it up. I've been trying to look for it. I'll go now!"
He ran away and left Dylan. His eye brows are furrowed as he looked around. "Where's she?"
———
Harper was leaning to the wall. Her wrist still being held.
"God, Dylan it's too dark here! Can we please go back outside, seriously." Her wrist was released.
She felt her cheeks burning up as two hands touched her face.  "Dy..."
"Can you please talk? You're making me feel scared."
Her face was lifted up. She can't see anything.
She felt that someone holding her face lean down at her. Soon, she felt lips attached to her forehead.
Her forehead was kissed gently. She smiled. "Aww."
"Okay, that's enough of your cheesy acts, babe. We're going to be late, I swear I don't want to go to detention." She tried her best to walk away without seeing anything.
She finally went out of that dark room, she released a sigh of relief. She walked her way thinking he's following her.
She looked back and saw Dylan looking from the other side. "Dylan! Hurry up, I told you we're going to be late!"
Dylan smiled as he ran towards her. "Why did you leave me there?"
