•Something fishy•


During lunch, Siya join Allion and Solein, moments after someone came, surprising them. "Jin Serim, what happened to you?" Allison asked the newcomer, and gesture her to sit beside Siya. The girl had this sad face, looking like a whole depressed lady.


"I just did, what Siya said. I approach Hwanwoong, and told him I like him, but he don't feel the same." Serim said, solemnly playing with her food. Siya stop munching her food, showing her empathy. "Didn't I told you, there's still many guy out there?" Serim nodded, forcing a smile.


Solein throw a joke, enlightening the mood as the two also did the same and made Serim, their classmate laugh, forgetting the rejection she got. In the middle of their laughter someone called Siya, making them stopped. The boy approach Siya not giving a single glance to other. His face is sad as well.


"S-Siya, can we meet somewhere on Saturday?" Siya thought for a moment, thinking if she's not busy on that day. She looked up at the boy, nodding whilst smiling. "Sure, just text me where and what time." The boy smiled widely and waved his hand walking away.


"Woah, Siya is having date with other guy." Allison said, gasping. Siya gave her a confused look, asking, "What do you mean, 'having date with other guy'?" Allison snort. "You have Hwanwoong, then you'll meet up with Changmin, isn't that cheating?"


Siya laugh at her statement. "We're not dating, excuse me. That annoying is not my boyfriend." She told them, rolling her eyes and shove the spoonful in her mouth. "Really?" Solein asked, curiously. "Yes." Siya answered. Solein seems surprised on her response, looking at behind the back of Siya, she said, "Speaking of devil, guess who's coming." They all turn around and saw Hwanwoong.


"Oh the annoying is here." Siya nonchalantly said, gazing Hwanwoong beside her. "Now, you don't even know how to greet your master." Hwanwoong cross his arms, raising his eyebrows, waiting for Siya to response.


"Master?"


"Don't mind him, he's just annoying." Hwanwoong dramatically put his hand on his chest as he gasp. "Oh my! My servant just called me annoying." Siya boringly shift her attention to Hwanwoong. "Because, you really are." Hwanwoong squint his eyes at Siya. "Now, you'll be punish, tomorrow after school, clean my room, no complain, I'll wait for you." Their mouth fell apart, without any response Hwanwoong left.


Siya growled her face turning red, as her eyes flaming in fury. The rest three, looked at Siya dumbfounded, still processing the scene on their heads. "He didn't just.."


"Oh well, should I be glad that he reject me?"


"You should celebrate." Siya told her sarcastically. Allison and Solein laugh, earning a glare from Siya, they shut their mouth act like zipping it. As the bell rang, they all separated their path and went to their own class. After school, Siya and Serim meet at the hallway.


While walking downstairs, Changmin wave at Siya. "Are you okay?" Siya asked out of concern, seeing the boy seems like tense. "Yeah, I'm okay. Oh—hey, Serim!" He nervously greeted, Serim greeted him back. "You know each other?" Siya asked, curious.


"We're neighbours." Both Serim and Changmin said in unison, causing for Siya to chuckle. "What happened to you guys? You both looked so tensed."


"U-Uh it's nothing, let's go Siya. Bye, Changmin!" Serim shouted, running with Siya's wrist on her hand. As the two walk together, they take bus, but since they lived in different neighborhood, they waved each others goodbye and go to different road.


THE SAME as usual, Siya eat her lunch with Allison and their two other friend, Serim also start hanging out with them. Siya feeling thankful because she didn't saw Hwanwoong since morning, but not when she's already going out of the gate to go home. How could she even forget, that Hwanwoong is making her clean his whole room.


The boy dragged her towards the car, and wait for it to arrived. When they finally arrived at the house, they directly went to his room, and found how messy it is. Siya inhale a thick amount of air, putting her bag at the chair on Hwanwoong's study table, she started picking the stuffs scattered around and put it on the right place.


Organizing Hwanwoong's room, Siya take all the trash and throw it. She made the bed tidy, same to the other things and start cleaning the floor using vacuum. When she finished, beads of sweat run down to her face, she grabbed her handkerchief, she wiped her sweat and open the a/c, feeling the cold wind, Siya sniff the fresh scent of a/c calming on its coolness.


The door swing open, revealing Hwanwoong holding a tray of snacks with drinks, Siya went to him and help him carry it down to his study table. He scan the surrounding liking the new look, he smiled secretly. "Go eat a snack, be thankful your master is kind." Siya gag, shaking her head in disbelief, she chugged down the drinks feeling more refreshing.


"Where is your mom?" Hwanwoong shrug, making Siya's eyes big. "You serious?" Hwanwoong nod. "Yeah, why would I know, I was probably on the school, when she left, including my father."


Siya didn't ask any questions anymore, just enjoying the tons of snacks in front of her. "Hwanwoong?" He hummed as response. "Can I take some snack with me? I want to eat it, but I need to go home. Mom and I are going somewhere, in a minutes."


Hwanwoong got up, he opened one of his drawer and take an eco bag. "You can take it all, here." Siya smiled widely, and get the bag, she put everything there and was so thankful to Hwanwoong. "You really love snack, don't you?"


"Everyone does. Anyway, bye~" After taking her backpack and the bag of snack, Siya jogged down and happily got home. "Did you go, grocery?" Her father asked. Siya shook her head. "Nope, I take it from my friend." She chuckle and went to change her clothes.


SATURDAY as what Changmin texted her, they meet up somewhere and have some fun. Changmin meet up with her to asked for help on something and that's to made him close to Serim. He also said the reason why he's tense up to see Serim, and it's because he like her.


On the next day, which is Sunday. Siya told Serim to meet with her, and that's her plan to make Changmin and Serim talk to each other, Siya succeeded on her plan. Changmin asked Serim to be his girlfriend and on his luck, Serim accept to be his girlfriend.


But on the bad thing, while they were at the street, the clouds suddenly turns to grey until it rains, Changmin brought umbrella, saying he heard on news to be prepared on heavy rainfall anytime that day. Unfortunately, only two people can occupied. Siya told them she'll be fine and she go home wet.


At night, Siya got a colds and turns into fever, causing for her to not be able to attend school. Only Yeeun who look after her, since her parents went to a trip on Sunday dawn, for two weeks. Yeeun already informed Siya's school about, why she didn't come and was very thankful.
