"noona!"

"yugyeom, i told you. you don't have to call me that. you can just call me [name]!" i told him right after school the next day.

"are you sure?" he shyly asked me as he scratches his neck. i can tell he's feeling a little uncomfortable. i don't really understand why he would feel that way.

"yes. please don't feel uncomfortable about it, really. i promise you i don't mind it, i'm honestly not used to younger boys calling me that." i honestly say.

he started to exhale slowly out of relief, and slightly smiled at me. "okay, if you insist, [name]."

"how about this, would you like to come over to my house with chaerin with our collab sometime?..you sing, right?"

"of course!!"

"oh, so how about..this weekend? that way, we can know each other starting now, and you can feel better calling my name..you're so nice, yugyeom."

"that sounds great! i can't wait to work with you guys! why are you guys writing a song for?"

"we usually do this whenever we're not busy with school. we always want to write songs expressing our emotions."

"so you like coming up some song ideas?"

"exactly."

"that sounds fun. i'll let you know if i can come over. i know this is sudden but..may i have your number so i can let you know?" he says as he gave me this worried expression.

i slightly laughed, and i told him, "you're so cute. don't worry, of course you can have my number! i know it's been 2 days, but you really seem like a nice guy."

"thank you, [name]. i got to go, my mom's here to pick me up. i'll see you tomorrow!"

"ah wait, hold on!" i yelled as i pull out a pen and a sticky note from my backpack. the pen was already on my uniform pocket since i was too lazy to put it in my pencil box.

i try to write it down as fast as i could, and i started to give it to him as he quickly walked towards me. he grabs it, and immediately tells me, "thank you" and slightly bows down.

"no problem! see you!" i reply, and yugyeom finally sits in the passenger seat in the car he's getting on.

i see the car drive away, and i hear chaerin say behind me, "so what did he say?"

"he would love to, but i gave him my number if he's able to go."

"ah, great! hopefully he can come! alright, get in the car, we're leaving."

"okay."
