Hwoarang had been waiting for Josie to text first. Yes. That hands-putting-on-her-shoulders has to do with something. He sneakily placed his written phone number into Josie's top wear.

He was in his room, laying on his bed, anxiously waiting for Josie's text. He has his phone in his hands. Hwoarang sighed. "I hope she didn't lose it."

"DINNER'S READY, HWO!" Yelled Baek in the dining room.

"COMING!" Hwoarang yelled back. He carried the phone with him and got up from the bed. He went straight towards the dining room to face Baek sitting comfortably on the floor. Hwoarang sat in front of his master and placed his phone near behind him.

"Care to explain what happened?" Baek questioned as they both went for their food.

"She... accepted my apology." Hwoarang simply answered.

"Are you sure nothing bad happened?"

Hwoarang shook his head. Baek could've sworn he is lying. But judging by how he acts right now, is too hard to believe because he seems he's telling the truth himself.

"Her name is Josie Rizal." Hwoarang continued. "I might've judged her wrong. She seems like a pretty amusing girl to hang out with. N-not like a love at first sight or anything!"

Baek kept listening.

"According to her, she had many plans for us to get to know each other better. She mentioned that making new friends is one of her favorite things to do."

"See?" Baek spoke. "When you did the right thing, you two would end up getting along. Seems like you have learned something from me. I'm proud of you, Hwoarang!"

"U-u-uh, h-hey! I-I was just trying to save my motorcycle from getting taken away by you! T-that's all!"

Baek laughed. "Alright, enough talking. We should be eating."

It was a good moment of silence of them eating their food. Not to mention, Baek's cooking is very delicious! Hwoarang never gets tired from eating Baek's cooking! For him, he's lucky to have himself end up living with Baek. No matter how their interactions is like.

"Uuughh! This is just too good!" Hwoarang said with full mouth.

"Don't talk when your mouth is full!" Baek scolded.

"Sorry, Master! I couldn't help admire your amazing cooking skills!"

"I appreciate the compliment, Hwoarang. But you have to stop talking."

"Yes, Master."

Later on, Hwoarang was just finished eating as the phone made a notification sound, afterwards. That must be Josie's text!

"Gotta go, Baek!" He quickly grabbed his phone and ran towards his room as he shut the door before Baek could even scold at him.

He jumped onto his bed and checked he text message.

Josie: You sneaky redhead!

Hwoarang: What can I say? I'm a genius. :P

Josie: No wonder, I always felt itchy at my back!

Hwoarang: It's also about time that you texted! I've been waiting HOURS for you to text me!

Josie: Hehehe! Sorry to keep you waiting. But hey! At least my photoshoot is finished!

Hwoarang: Right. So, when do you think we'll meet again? What place?

Josie: What about the place we first ran into each other? I was thinking we should go to the park!

Hwoarang: Ugh! What a boring choice.

Josie: Amusement park?

Hwoarang: Boring.

Josie: Mall?

Hwoarang: Why, Josie?

Josie: Well, what about YOU? Do YOU have anything in your mind?

"Looks like someone's already getting cranky." Hwoarang chuckled at that thought. He had been thinking that they should do something that will add the fun and suspense. He thought for a moment, then texted.

Hwoarang: I was thinking we should go to the bar and get ourselves in trouble without getting caught. :)

Josie: WHAT?! THAT'S INSANE! NO WAY I'M DOING THAT!

Hwoarang: Oh, come on! After all, you have me by your side! You don't need to worry so much, Josie!

Josie: Sigh. Fine! But if something bad happened, I'm blaming you on this!

Hwoarang: Fair enough.

Hwoarang: We'll be doing this at night! Six at night!

Josie: Since that's at night, maybe during daytime, we should go to a certain place and talk for a while? Or maybe hang out with our other friends?

Hwoarang: Still boring. But I'll take it.

Josie: Oh, goody goody! That's great to hear! :D

Josie: It's nice texting with you! But I'm afraid that we have to end this conversation. I have to go.

Hwoarang: That's okay! Just stay safe.

Josie: Bye~!

Hwoarang froze. Did Josie just added that heart emoticon just to mess with him? Or she did it on purpose because she really meant it in... that way? He turned his phone off and placed it on his nightstand. He laid down, staring at the ceiling.

"Josie Rizal." Hwoarang spoke to himself. "I feel like we're gonna get along more than well." He smirked. Not in a bad way.
