Soohee
Hey mom, can we talk later? I need your advice on something.


Mom
Sure. About what?


Soohee
Umm. I'll tell you about it later.


Your POV
I forgot to mention about my photoshoot with Chan again. But we talked on Saturday, so I think it's all good now. Does it?


Soohee
You know what mom, nevermind, I just figured it out.


Mom
Oh no young lady. You're going to tell me about it later.


Soohee
Ugh fiiine.

***phone rings***


Your POV
It's Han again....


Soohee
Yes?


Han Jisung
Can I pick you up?


Soohee
Why? I have a driver already.


Seungmin
If you're talking about me, I won't drive you to school.


Mom
I heard that Seungmin.


Seungmin
Sorry mom...


Han Jisung
Please? I need to ask you something on our way to school.


Soohee
Can you just ask me when we meet at school?


Han Jisung
No. This can't wait. I'm on my way to your house now.


Soohee
What?!


Han Jisung
Okay see youuu~

***hangs up***


Seungmin
Who's that?


Soohee
Apparently, I have a new driver today, so you're free.


Seungmin
That's insulting you know.


Soohee
Saying that you're free?


Seungmin
Calling me your driver!


Dad
Soohee, someone's waiting for you outside, I just talked to him.


Your POV
Crap. He's already here?!


Soohee
I'll be there in a minute.


Dad
So that's Han huh? He seems cool.


Seungmin
Han's here?!


Your POV
Seungmin walked out before I did. He really likes Han.


Mom
Why don't you invite him inside for a minute?


Soohee
Oh no need--


Seungmin
Hey mom! I thought you would like to meet Han! Since she takes Soohee out a lot.


Soohee
Ugh. We're friends. There's nothing wrong with that.


Han Jisung
Hello Mrs. Kim. I'm Han Jisung. It's nice to finally meet you.


Mom
Oh hello there~ it's good to finally meet you at last.


Soomi
Are you Soohee's date?


Soohee
Okaaay we need to go now. See you later Soomi. Bye mom and dad!


Seungmin
Can I ride with you guys?


Soohee
Uhh. Let me think...no.


Mom
Seungmin, you have your own car. I'll give it to Soohee if you don't use it.


Seungmin
Just this once mom!


Han Jisung
Uhh. Hyung, do you mind if I only take Soohee? I need to talk to her alone on our way to school.


Seungmin
Oh. Okaaay.


Mom
See you later kids~ and nice to meet you again Han.


Dad
You can come over anytime!


Soohee
Dad!


Dad
With your permission of course.


Han Jisung
Heh. Thank you too Mr. and Mrs. Kim! And Soomi! Goodbye~


Your POV
Once we got inside his car, I saw Han smiling like he won a lottery.


Soohee
You look happy there.


Han Jisung
Oh? I just had fun talking with your family. They're great, and they seem to like me.


Soohee
Yeah. I'm surprised too. They're only like that towards Bang Chan before.


Your POV
As I mentioned Bang Chan, Han's smile disappeared.


Han Jisung
Oh. Yeah, of course.


Soohee
But they don't like him now. Dad doesn't even know he's here again. Only mom and Seungmin.


Han Jisung
Does Soomi knows him too?


Soohee
A little. I don't know if she still remembers him.


Han Jisung
Because she was younger back then huh?


Soohee
Yeah. Oh by the way, Bang Chan and I talked when it was Saturday. We're good now.


Han Jisung
What?! That easy?!


Soohee
It's been three weeks Han. I don't hold grudges, and I think it's best that we're friends rather than ignoring each other.


Han Jisung
You're better off without him though.


Soohee
He's just a friend now. Not like he's my boyfriend again.


Han Jisung
Well what if he still wants you back?


Soohee
Why are you acting so possessive?


Han Jisung
If he hurted you before, he can do it again.


Soohee
I know him better than you Han. If he's willing to change, I believe him.


Han Jisung
I'm keeping an eye on you though.


Soohee
You're always keeping an eye on me.


Han Jisung
Enough of that. So I wanted to talk to you about...umm...


Your POV
Han seems to be lost for words... what's this about?


Soohee
Spill. We're nearly at school.


Han Jisung
Do you like...roadtrips?


Soohee
Oh no...are you asking me to go on a road trip with you?


Han Jisung
What?! No! I mean not only me! Hyunjin wants to jave a road trip since we're having a long weekend. We don't have classes on Friday right?


Han Jisung
Sooo he got this idea...and he wants you to come, along with your friends. Three days and two nights.


Soohee
Hmmm. It's been so long since I had road trips with the girls. I'll ask them if they want to.


Han Jisung
But what about you? I mean, what do you think? Do you want to come?


Soohee
Of course I want to! This is a road trip we're talking about!


Han Jisung
Yes! This will be fun!


Soohee
Where would we stay? Will all of your friends come?


Han Jisung
Hotels. Or motels. Depends. We'll have our own room.


Soohee
Umm...We?


Han Jisung
Yeah..I mean no! That sounded wrong. I mean me and the guys. Then you girls will have a separate one.


Soohee
You should think before you speak Han Jisung. *laughs*


Han Jisung
Sorry. He he. Can we all sit at lunch so we can talk about it?


Soohee
Sure. I'll go tell them later.


Han Jisung
Great! I'm already excited.


Soohee
It's still a few days away Han..


Han Jisung
I can't help it! This will be new for us... it's always been me and the guys only.


Soohee
Me and the girls too.


Your POV
I'm kinda excited as well. I think it will be fun to hangout with a larger circle of friends.
