L. Seunghyun POV.

Jiyoung and I had just arrived Club 2NE1. We walked around and dance for a little while until we

decided to hangout at the bar. We chatted for a while before Ji had an epiphany.

"OH MY GOSH. Seunghyun?"

"Yeah Ji?"

"I just remembered that we were here for Tablo-hyung. You want to come or what?"

"Oh yeah... I think I'm gonna stay here. He kind of makes me uncomfortable."

"Haha. Really? I didn't know that. I'll go alone then. While I'm gone try to have fun. Meet some new people. Take your mind off of everything, okay?"

"Yeah, okay."

"Here's 30 bucks if you want to buy a drink or something. I'll be right back." he said beginning to walk away.

"Don't forget about me!" I called, but he was already out of hearing range. I sighed. Why did I agree to come here? There are so many people here. Stranger people. Hopefully he returns quickly.

"Excuse me," I turned around and was met by a friendly looking face. It was a young woman. She had really short cut hair and sort of resembled a guy. She had on an orange jersey and camo capree. I figured she looked kind enough.

"Hey."

"So I don't usually do this but I saw you from across the way and you looked nice, so I figured I say hi," she babbled on, "Oh god I'm babbling aren't I. God, um sorry let me start over."

I chuckled, "Yeah that would be nice."

"Jeez now you're laughing at me. I should just walk away right now," she said starting to turn around.

I grabbed her arm. "No don't go. I'm lonely. And you look nice."

She smiled. "Thanks. so what are you doing all alone?"

I frowned. "My friend just went off to find his other friend."

She sat down in the seat next to mine. "Yeah mine too. I was just awkwardly standing nearly by them until I decided to wander."

"Haha. I probably would have been doing that if I had went with him." We laughed before fading into an awkward silence.

"So," I started, trying to break the silence, "What's your name?"

"Oh I'm Amber. Amber Liu."

"Liu?" I asked, recognizing the name from my language class. "So you're Chinese?"

"Well innately, yes. But I was born in the US."

"Foreigner! Cool. What state?"

"California yo~," she said in English," Los Angeles."

"So what are you doing in Korea?"

"Well I'm doing a foreign exchange program. I'm going to Seoul National University right now."

"A smart foreigner! I tried to get into that college, but let's just say I hadn't..." I trailed look for the correct word.

"Adapt?" she suggested.

"Yeah I hadn't adapted enough knowledge."

"Yeah 'adapted'," She said with air quotes.

There was another silence, but of a different kind. It was a comfortable silence. I guess I'm beginning to like this Amber girl. She has a kind looking face and a cute personality. She's the kind of person you just want to be friends with. A kindred spirit. Maybe tonight wasn't gonna suck so much after all.

Jiyoung POV.

Searched the place up and down and until I finally saw a familiar face.

"Tablo!" I called. He looked in my direction and smiled.

"Yo Ji!"

He stood up and waved me over. "Hey Ji! I want you to meet my beautiful girlfriend, Sandara Park."

"Hi. It's a pleasure to meet you. I'm Kwon Jiyoung," I stuck my hand out for her to shake. Look down at my hand anxiously for a second before taking into her own and shaking it.

"H-Hi!" she stuttered, "I'm Sandara. Just call me Dara!" She smile at me sweetly and let go of my hand. Although it was sweet, something in her smile was kind of off. It was like it was forced, yet it was still believable. Like she had rehearsed it or something. Seunghyun did that a lot... Maybe I'm just looking too far into this. I'm too paranoid sometimes.

"So Ji," Tablo said interrupting my thoughts, "Where's Little Hyunnie?"

"He's hanging back by the bar. He wanted to get a drink," I lied. I don't know how Tablo would feel if I told him Seunghyun didn't like him.

"Who's Seunghyun?" asked Dara.

"He's this dude's bestest friend," answered Tablo, "They're inseparable."

She nodded.

"Maybe you'll see him around sometime soon," I said.

"Haha. Maybe," she laughed. Again, it seemed like she had rehearsed her laughed before coming or something. And plus she seemed awfully anxious. She had pulled on her long sleeves at least five times since I walked over.

We stood there awkwardly staring at each other and the ground. The awkwardness was unbearable. Finally Tablo spoke up. "So. We should sit down," he suggested.

We all sat in the large black booth, they were previously occupying where the awkward silence continued. I looked around at all the people on the dance floor having a good time. I wonder if Seunghyun as bored as I was. Probably just sitting at the bar sulking. This was gonna be a long night.

Seunghyun POV.

"Oh my gosh," Amber exclaimed breaking the silence.

"What?"

"I just told you every aspect of my life and I don't even know your name yet."

"Wow. I could have been some creep that wants to kidnap you or something."

She thought about that, "Whoa. Your right... You're not are you?"

"Yeah because if I was I would totally tell you."

She eyed me suspiciously. "I guess I better watch my back then. What's your name anyway?"

"I'm Lee Seunghyun. I go to Kyonggi University."

"Nice." She nodded. "So who you here with?"

"My friend Jiyoung. He's meeting a guy named Tablo."

"Tablo?"

"Yeah you know him."

"Yeah I meet him before. He's dating my friend Luna."

"I'm gonna assume that you're here with Luna then, right?"

"Yeah. She usually work late today, but she got a promotion and her hours changed, so she took me clubbing."

"I guess our friends are meeting each other then."

She twisted her eyebrows. "What do you mean?"

"Well Tablo said that he was meeting his girlfriend here today."

"That's strange. She didn't say anything about him..."

"Maybe it didn't cross her mind."

"Hmm. Maybe..." she trailed off in thought.

"Hey I have an idea!" I said excitedly, "Let's go find them!"

"Oh that's a good idea!" She grabbed my hand and off we went, searching for her friend, my friend, and our mutual friend Tablo. It's funny how people are connected and don't even know it. I looked over at her and smiled. I feel like I've made a really good friend. One that you have for a long time.

A/N:
