jihoon sipped on his warm coffee and set it down on the table before shifting in his seat to look at subin. he thought of many excuses he’d use for his parents to keep them himself out of trouble, but would they work with subin’s parents who didn’t even know she had a job?
“ you are allowed to stay at friends’ houses? or do your parents like keeping you locked up like rapunzel as well? ” he joked. “ if you are, just say that you’re staying at a friend’s to study and i can pick you up, i drive you know. ”
jihoon shrugged at his last comment and looked towards the other student. he put his hand on subin’s arm and smiled at her genuinely. “ and trust me, i won’t leave your side unless you want me to. we can play beer pong together and sit in corners being moody. ” he chuckled to himself and took one last sip of his coffee.
“ also my coffee’s finished, you say yes, i’ll leave you alone for a week, you say you don’t wanna go, i’m ordering iced tea instead. your choice. ”
”of course i am. totally. what kind of kid can’t stay at friends’ houses? they aren’t THAT crazy,” subin responded quickly – maybe trying to defend her parents, maybe trying to save her own pride. probably both, because at the end of the day, she really wasn’t allowed to. her parents didn’t even really like knowing she had friends.
“but,” she began, clearing her throat, “i don’t.. i don’t think that excuse would work..? just a hunch. they might not believe it, you know. i don’t know why they wouldn’t, since i AM allowed to, but they wouldn’t.”
really, she wanted to go – she wanted to be more outgoing and have more fun with life before she graduated, but she was too fearful. not only of her parents, but of this whole thing being a joke. it felt fake when people actually reached out to her. but then again, what if it wasn’t fake? she wouldn’t know if she didn’t try.
and that’s the mindset that lead her to agree. “fine. i’ll quit being a square and i’ll go. but, i swear to god, if you leave me alone with all of those people i will kick your ass. i mean it. i’ll figure something out to get my parents off my back.”
