After the class, Do Yun approached Ji Ho and stood before him. Ji Ho greeted him with a smile. Do Yun gazed at Ji Ho intently, not even blinking.
"Ji Ho, are you available this Saturday?" Do Yun inquired.
"I'm sorry, I have a tutoring session."
Do Yun let out a sigh, "Ah, I see. What about Sunday then?"
Ji Ho shook his head, "No, Do Yun. My father arranged for a tutor to come to our house on my day off. I won't be free. Why do you ask?"
“Nothing, I was just curious,” Do Yun replies, lowering his head with a tinge of sadness.
Ji Ho notices and probes, “What's wrong? Remember, we promised to be honest with each other.”
“Well, I thought we could hang out somewhere. But it's fine. I understand. See you later, Ji Ho,” Do Yun says as he turns to grab his bag. Ji Ho holds Do Yun's hand, signalling him to stay.

“Are you upset?” Do Yun questions.
Do Yun pout and says, “Why would I be upset? It's no big deal. Let's plan for another time.”
“So, you're definitely upset,” Ji Ho remarks.
“No, I'm not,” Do Yun insists.
Ji Ho smiles and reassures, “Don't worry, Do Yun. I'll find a way for us to hang out soon.”
A smile spread across Do Yun's face as he looked at Ji Ho. “You promise?”
“Hmm,” Ji Ho nods.
“Then I'll head off now,” Do Yun says, picking up his bag and giving Ji Ho a wave. Ji Ho waves back with a forced smile.
"How can I find a way to spend time with him?" Ji Ho pondered to himself.
[Home]
Ji Ho lay on the bed, his mind consumed by thoughts of Do Yun.
"He asked me out, but I can't go...yet I really want to," he pondered deeply, his gaze fixed on the ceiling. Suddenly, his father's words struck him, jolting him from his reverie.
"Wait, if I improve my grades, father said he'll cancel the tuition," he exclaimed, , rising from the bed with determination. "There's an exam next week, I need to ace it. Then I can focus and go on a date with Do Yun, just like I want." Ji Ho declared resolutely, settled himself at the study table and began reading his science books.
His goal was to go out with Do Yun on the weekend as soon as possible.
