[ 08 ]

School ended and now I'm walking to karaoke with Dohwa. Su-ae texts me that we need to talk later tonight because she has something to tell me. I reply to her message with a short thumbs up and continue on the sidewalk next to Dohwa.

We walk inside of the karaoke club and find our room. Ra-im is already there with a couple of other people. Dohwa goes over to Ra-im and sits next to her, just like last time. Ra-im tries to entice him with her flirty attitude, pouting and joking cutely with him. I sit on another couch with a couple of other girls. I think they're from Ra-im's class but since I talked to them last time I found them interesting.

I honestly don't understand how Ra-im can go from hanging onto one guy's arm to the next. Wasn't she just kissing Minu the other day? I guess Dohwa just goes along with her flirty behaviour. I know he doesn't actually feel anything too sincere for her, he's told me before.

I sat on the couch eating the snacks that were on the table. Some of the boys are singing. I don't know what to do with myself since I have no one to talk to right now. Ra-im's class friends went to sing next.

I look out the window of the room that looks into the hallway. I see Eunhyeok and Su-ae, peering through the same window. Huh? What is Su-ae doing here? I know she wasn't invited, because she doesn't even talk to any of the people in the room here. I know Ra-im wouldn't invite her, either. Su-ae doesn't really care to hangout in big groups with people she doesn't know, anyways.

I get up from the couch and walk towards the door. I twist the handle, opening it. However, the only person I see now is Eunhyeok. Wait, wasn't Su-ae here just a second ago? I shut the door behind me. He looks at me when he hears the noise. "Oh, hey," he says, scratching the back of his neck.

"What are you doing here?" I ask him.

"Oh, Ra-im invited me earlier today. I'm still out here because Su-ae was just here. I watched her run off into a room down the hall. She said she came with 'friends' but she was obviously lying," he tells me and points towards the furthest room.

"I knew I saw Su-ae here! Let's go get her!" I walk towards him and grab his wrist to pull him with me. He looks down at me confused but I ignore it. I guess it was bold to grab his wrist like I did due to us not exactly being friends.

He stops after a little bit and I feel the tug from his halt so I let go and turn to him. "I think she's in here." He points at the door and looks at me. From inside, we can hear fighting, though it sounds really one-sided.

"Who do you think you are? Barging in on our room?" A harsh girl's voice can be heard from right on the other side of the door. Eunhyeok was right then, Su-ae is definitely in here. Eunhyeok barges the door open.

"Sorry. Looks like my friend entered the wrong room by mistake. Sorry for bothering you. Oh, and have fun." I hear him talking inside the room. I wait outside for him, looking around the hallway. He exits the room holding Su-ae by her shoulders and pushes her all the way to the exit. I follow them out of curiosity.

Su-ae finally sees me and I smile at her, "Hey Su-ae! What are you doing here?"

Eunhyeok replies for her,"She's spying, is what she's doing. Also, if you're going to lie, do it more convincingly. It'd be impossible for anyone to fall for the one you told. Besides, if you don't want to run into Ra-im, then why are you following her?" He confronts her. Su-ae shifts her gaze to me again and I only shrug, not knowing what to do. Her eyes flick back to Eunhyeok's and she looks a little guilty for lying to him.

"T-Then, w-why are you here? You scurried over here to see Ra-im too, didn't you?" Su-ae tries to defend herself from his questioning glare.

"What? Scurried over here? Says who? I came because Ra-im called me to- hang out... Whatever. Just go. There's no use in talking to you," he says and turns around, facing his back to her.
