“Hey Loren! What are you doing here?” The guy asked Loren as soon as he saw her standing there with Ashleigh.

“Just meeting up with my friend here. I didn’t know you were in this class. Isn’t this a little early for you?” Loren asked, obviously with a playful tone to her voice.

“Wow…. That one hurt there.” He chuckled as he teased her right back. “Anyway, since you’re here, can you tell Minjun something for me?”

“And why can’t you?” Loren raised a brow, continuing to look at him.

“Because I know he’ll look at your message first.”

“I… that still is not a valid reason as to why I should tell him something for you.” Loren spoke as she crossed her arms over her chest.

“Okay then, I know he’s in the studio and he won’t answer my calls or texts, but I know he will do so for yours. Is that better?”

“Fine, but you owe me.” Loren narrowed her eyes at him. “What do you need to tell him?”

“That I will probably be late tonight.”

“….that was it?! That is not something he needs to know right away. Geez Khun.”

“You said you would tell him, so see you later! Bye Loren!” He smiled and walked away from the two of them. His smile only made Ashleigh die a little inside.

“That boy… I swear to god…”

“How do you know him?”

“Who? Nichkhun?” Loren asked, raising a brow up at Ashleigh, who only nodded in response to her question. “He’s one of Minjunnie’s fraternity brothers.”

“Why didn’t you tell me you knew him?”

“And how would I know that you wanted to know that?” Loren asked as she followed her down the hallway. “Wait… why do you want to know that?”

“No…no reason.” Ashleigh slightly stuttered out. Loren stopped and looked at her with a brow raised again before her eyes went wide at the realization.

“Is he the cute guy in your class you won’t shut up about??” Loren gasped.

“What? No. Psh. No.” Ash looked away from Loren, knowing that if she did continue to look at her, she would know that she was lying.

“It so is!” Loren smirked. “Guess now I truly have a reason to drag you to their parties now.”

“Loren!”

“What?” She chuckled as she walked off.  “Could be the best way for you to talk to him. You could get an ending like me.”

“Well, if that is the case, I do not want to go through everything that you two did.” Ash spoke as she caught up to Loren, following her out of the building.

“I wouldn’t want that to happen to you either. I’m still edgy over that whole situation…” Loren sighed before smoothing the top of her hair a bit.

“Over what situation?” Both looked behind them as they heard the lower voice say from behind them before feeling arms drape over their shoulders.

“Hi Chansung.” Loren greeted the taller male.

“How her and Minjun pretty much got their shit together.” Ash replied at the same time as Loren’s greeting.

“Please don’t let that situation repeat… ever.” Chansung said as he looked down at Loren, which only made her roll her eyes.

“Oh yes, because I totally wanted that to happen in the first place.” Loren scoffed. “Enough about me. Are you still taking us out for lunch today? Like you promised me?”

“More like that you bribed me into.”

“Bribed… promised… same thing.” Loren shrugged with a small smile.

“At least to her it is.” Ash teased her.

“Oh, shut it.” Loren stuck her tongue out at her.

“Put that tongue back where it belongs.”

“Well depending on what place you’re talking about.”

“Your mouth or on Minjun, right?”

“Exactly.”

“And on that note…” Chansung began to walk faster away from the two girls, who only started laughing.
