Jake (JK)  Sunghoon (SH)

 SH: <still confused> You think I'm playing you?

Jake: <thinking> Well, your responses are like an aloof celebrity and you keep staring at me.

SH: <realizing JK is not used to people just staring at him without conversation>  What makes you think I'm a celebrity? <because I am, but apparently, you're not from around here>

Jake: <nervously taps the side of his leg> umm, well, I'm sure I'm not the first to say this, but you're kinda good-looking, so you probably get a lot of girls approaching you.

SH: <nodding as fact> And guys.

Jake: Wait. What? <lean against the wall covering his mouth, turning red>

SH: <staring at him getting flustered>

Jake: <still covering his mouth> So you think I was like trying to pick up on you?

SH: Not sure, you're a little slow.

Jake: Hey, that's rude. I'm at the top of my class. But I know you mean socially; I mean stuff like this.

SH: Like asking someone out?

Jake: What? No. Like making friends. I mean I have a lot of friends back home, but I've never asked anyone out before.

SH: You've never asked a guy out before?

Jake: <looking really embarrassed mumbling> or a girl. <looking away>

SH: <smiles sightly> Didn't you just ask me out for a meal?

Jake: <remembering what he said early> Oh, no, no. I was just so happy someone gave me something, that I wanted to return your kindness.

SH: <thinking back on why he did it, being quick-witted> It wasn't out of kindness. <laughing hard inside>

Jake: <totally embarrassed, covers his mouth> I gotta go, see you around.

SH: <surprised and confused at his reaction - knowing he would turn red, but why didn't he ask for his #, he gave him the drop>

Jake: <runs out>

SH: <not sure what just happen – it felt like he just got rejected.>

SH: <thinking to himself> too bad, he's cute.

<Jake is well-mannered, and would never just run out like that. But he didn't know why he reacted like that and felt bad>
