"Yeonri!"

"Yoohoo Riri?"

"HELLOOOOO Earth to Jung Yeonri!"

"Goddamnit YEONRI!"

"Huh?", the silver haired girl snapped out of her daydreams, looking around in confusion before coming face to face with her best friend, raising an eyebrow as she crossed her arms and tapped her foot on the floor repeatedly.

"Gosh, it's only been three weeks since the semester started and you're already spacing out? Get a grip, girl", Nari huffed her bangs out of her eyes as she looked at the girl who smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry, but what did you say before?"

"The football game! It's Friday and there's gonna be a bunch of hot seniors playing football tonight. And you should know, that there's no way I'm NOT gonna bring you with me"

"But I don't even like sports"

"Me neither, but I do like cute boys", Nari winked. "Come on! Get up already"

Yeonri groaned. "Who else is coming to the game?"

"Jihye, Xiu Ying, my brother and the boys. You can ask your sis to come too"

"No thanks, Yeonha will just make it worse", Yeonri rolled her eyes. "I'll meet you at the bleachers at 7pm later, bye"

"Wha- hey! What about lunch?"

"I'm not hungry!"

~~~

The afternoon passed by just like that, and it was already night. Wearing only a white shirt with some ripped jeans, Yeonri came as promised with her hair up in a ponytail as she sat beside Nari.

"Oh- hey. So you did come in the end"

Yeonri nudged her playfully. "I don't lie, okay?"

"Yo, Riri", Yeonri turned behind to face Jihye, while the said girl slammed a hand behind Nari's back. "You too, Riri number two!"

"Ow, don't slap me that hard!", Nari complained. "And Yeonri is Riri, not me"

"What should I call you then? Nana?", Jihye muttered in disgust. "That's my brother, so no. You're Riri number two from now on"

"Your brother is...Nana?", Yeonri questioned.

Jihye could only sigh. "That's his nickname since he was little. Till now, that dumbass still uses it"

"And who are you calling a dumbass huh?", Jihye was pulled into a headlock by Jaemin that appeared from behind along with the other boys. She slapped her hand repeatedly on his forearm, taking in deep breaths once he let go.

"Fuck you", Jihye glared. Jaemin only blew a kiss and mumbled, "Love you too"

"Hey knucklehead, you want some?", Donghyuck who sat beside Jihye offered a hotdog to Nari which she happily took as she whispered a small thanks.

Renjun sat on the other side of Jihye, meanwhile Jisung and Jeno sat beside Nari. Chenle together with Xiu Ying sat beside Donghyuck, leaving one seat beside Yeonri.

As all the seats were filled already, there was no other choice but for Jaemin to sit beside Yeonri. She showed no reaction to the boy, and he was the same as well.

But Renjun, who was literally right behind Yeonri (again), grinned evilly as he did not once forgot about what happened at the first day of college. With that, he leaned nearer to Yeonri and playfully whispered in a sing song voice.

"Ooh, I wonder what will happen between you two now"

Yeonri closed her eyes and tried to remain calm, while slowly turning around and giving Renjun a deep glare. His grin only grew bigger as he wiggled his eyebrows suggestively.

Sighing, she turned around and did not mind him. Jaemin however, noticed her behaviour and turned to face Renjun who only gave the same reaction towards him.

This time a little more confused, Jaemin leant closer and asked in a lower tone. "Are you okay?"

Turning to her side to see Jaemin looking at her, Yeonri cleared her throat and only nodded.

Not fully convinced, Jaemin still just left her alone not wanting to push her any further. But then he remembered something, and then asked her again.

"You don't like places like these, do you?"

"Yeah, but I promised Nari I'll come", this time, Yeonri responded as she kept her gaze on the field.

Jaemin chuckled. "I promised Donghyuck too"

Yeonri turned this time and looked into his eyes once again. They maintained eye contact, and Yeonri swore that she felt her heart skip a beat.

"We have more in common than we think", Jaemin whispered as he gazed into her eyes.

But their sweet moment was interrupted by the sound out a loud cough. The two turned and glared back at the pink haired boy who only playfully smiled seeing the two.

"And now...kiss", Renjun mouthed the words out loud.

Not wanting to deal with him anymore, Yeonri turned around. Jaemin however, proceeded to smile politely at the older, before giving him the middle finger and turning around as well.

Yeonri and Jaemin looked at each other again, before bursting into small laughter. And right at that moment, the game started.

On normal days, they would hate it a lot. Crowded and noisy just isn't their cup of tea. But this time? It felt fun.

And since then, they started to grew more and more comfortable with each other's presence. At some point, even finding it weird without the other.

It felt empty, if they were not by each other's side.
