"WE NEED A PLAN," Suho started.

"I hate liars," Moonyoung grumbled, cutting Suho off, "But she probably had a reason... Maybe she was bullied," Moonyoung continued to ramble 

"Aish can you just listen?" Suho asked as Moonyoung nodded, focusing on the boy in front of her.

"Tonight we'll call her -- you have her number right?" Suho asked 

"Yeah?" Moonyoung shrugged

 "Give me her number," Suho said as Moonyoung rolled her eyes and sent him Jukyung's number. "We'll call her and say that she has something to give us, and she'll wonder which one──and when she comes to the coffee place, she'll be confused and probably expose her double life."

"I have to give her credit, she has been doing a good job," Moonyoung mused as Suho shook his head and called her on speaker. 

"Hello?" Jugyeong asked groggily.

 "It's us," Moonyoung said

 "Who── How did you get my number?" Jugyeong asked, frantically.

 "I have my ways," Suho said "You have something to give us,"

 "Bring it out," they said ending each other's sentences

"What I need to give you?" Jugyeong asked "And what might that be?"

"Are you kidding me?"

"We'll send you the address," Suho and Moonyoung said

 "Right now?! ── Oh, I can't, I'm feeling under the weather," Jukyung said switching from her normal voice to her sick one.

"Then send us your address we'll be there," Moonyoung said "No! I'll be there," Jukyung said "Good, be there by nine," Suho said. He then sent her the address to the park coffee place. "Let's see what will she do," Suho muttered

"It's almost time," Moonyoung said checking the clock "Let's go," she said as she and Suho made their way to her bike and rode it to the coffee place, they were exactly on time "Get me a matcha latte," Moonyoung said bored as Suho nodded to get the drinks.

He came back with one matcha latte, one iced americano, and one hot latte. They sat there and sipped their drinks until Jukyung showed up with a bike and a helmet? Jukyung sat in awkward silence, fidgeting with her hands as they sat and analyzed her "I'm not late am I?" she asked as she sat in front of Suho. 

"What's with the helmet?" Moonyoung asked, "Don't people wear helmets to go biking?" Jukyung asked "If you fall on your face it can leave a big scar. Its as dangerous as a motorbike," she said as Moonyoung scoffed, was a bike really like a motorcycle?

"I thought you weren't feeling well, why did you ride a bike here?" Suho asked as Jukyung coughed and said "I'm not feeling well, so I took the bike so I could leave immediately." Jukyung said "Then give it to us," Moonyoung said

"Oh yeah right," Jukyung said as she rummaged through the bag as she kept muttering things like "where is it?" or "I can't find it," Suho rolled his eyes and said, "The Comic Book, is it really hard to find?" Suho asked "The Comic Book?" Jukyung gasped as she quickly took it out

"Here," she said as she gave Suho and Moonyoung the book. She quickly hurried off before "We ordered you a hot drink," Suho said "You should drink it," Moonyoung added "No it's okay, I'm good," Jukyung rejected as Suho looked at her incredulously "Then do you want us to throw it away?" Moonyoung asked

Jukyung sat down and muttered "You shouldn't have,", "Are you going to drink it with that helmet on?" Suho asked "I'll use a straw," Jukyung replied as she reached for Moonyoung's straw. "Isn't it hot in there?" Moonyoung asked "Cold sweat, means I'm getting better," Jukyung laughed.

Moonyoung and Suho rolled their eyes "People are staring," Suho stated "Tell them to go ahead," Jukyung replied "You're being weird today, Jubal," Moonyoung said "I'll take it off in the bathroom!" Jukyung said hurriedly Suho turned to Moonyoung who was holding in her laughter.

People passed Moonyoung and Suho whispering things "Isn't he so handsome?" One girl said as they passed Suho and Moonyoung's table "He's like a celebrity -- are they dating maybe?" they whispered giggling as Jukyung returned to the table. She quietly sat down in front of the two who were now reading the cursed mask. Moonyoung and Suho looked up to see Jukyung dabbing her face with a tissue.

"I sweat a lot, so I washed my face," Jukyung said "But how did you get my number?" she asked quietly "We asked Mr. Prince for it," Moonyoung explained "Were you guys that desperate to read this book?" Jukyung asked as Suho and Moonyoung nodded. "Of course," Suho replied, "By the way, the secret you promised to keep, would it sound weird if I ask you what I was?" Jukyung asked "Yes," Suho replied bluntly

"How about we ask questions to know each other better?" Jukyung suggested as both Moonyoung and Suho glanced at her "Nevermind, let's not do it," Jukyung said hurriedly as she took a sip of her now cold drink. Both Moonyoung and Suho analyzed her every move.  After Jukyung left, Moonyoung and Suho also went their separate ways.

The next day Jukyung entered the classroom seeing Moonyoung talking with Soo-ah about something. "Jukyung!" Moonyoung smiled and waved at her, Jukyung smiled back before slipping Suho his jacket back, she then quickly tried leaving when she bumped into Seojun."Are you ok?" Seojun asked as she nodded "I'm fine," she said quickly as she limped away.

They were now in PE where everyone was playing dodgeball -- something Moonyoung loved playing. She had gotten a few people out and she had now and then glanced over to the boys just to see Suho and Seojun having a battle -- Seojun had lost when someone threw the ball too far out and Jukyung went and got it when Han Seojun stopped it.

"We've met before right?" he said as Jukyung shook her head "Helmet thief," he said as Jukyung pointed to the sky "Watch out!" she warned "You've already tried it on me-" Seojun said as a ball hit his head. Turns out the class president had thrown it. Suho went to go get it as Jukyung had just fallen.

He merely looked at her before walking on her eventually disappearing into the school. Soo-ah, Soojin, Jukyung, and Moonyoung were all walking the halls as Soo-ah complained about her boyfriend. "Men are stupid Choi-Soo," Moonyoung rolled her eyes.

When they reached the classroom Moonyoung had a peak of what was happening and smiled. When they entered the room, everything was sappy and cute for Soo-ah. Taehoon did these cute gestured and the two were about to kiss when Hyungyu was about to throw cake on their faces.

Thankfully they ducked, but unlucky for Jukyung the cream hit her instead. Moonyoung froze as the class crowded around Jukyung. She quickly made a run for the bathroom and texted Suho to find Jukyung and bring her to the bathroom she was in. Suho quickly found Jukyung and covered her with his jacket as he led her to the bathroom Moonyoung was in.

Moonyoung on the other hand was busy telling the other girls to go away. After they had all left the door opened to reveal Jukyung. "Lim Jukyung," Moonyoung greeted as Jukyung froze. "Moonyoung..." she trailed as Moonyoung stood by the bathroom door, facing away from the girl making sure no one would get in.

When Jukyung finished, the two girls linked arms and left the bathroom "Thank you, both of you," Jukyung said "But why did you help me?" she asked "We're friends, Jukyung-ah," Moonyoung grinned as the tall male figure turned around.

"Han Seojun?" Moonyoung asked as he turned to Jukyung. "You- Ah, never mind," He said as Jukyung and Moonyoung turned to leave "YAH! Bring my helmet!" He called "Alright Alright!" Jukyung called back as the two made their way to class.

When they entered everyone crowded around Jukyung and fussed over her, asking if she was alright. "I-I'm sorry!" Hyungyu said as Soojin turned over to him "Don't ever do that again," she warned. "Our Jukyung is still stunning even after having cream on her face," Soo-ah complimented as Jukyung beamed at her.

"But what I found weird was that Lee Suho helped you! He's not the type to help anyone," said the cute chubby girl -- Moonyoung didn't remember her name. "Aish, it's cause a teacher was coming," Soo-ah said as everyone went back to their seats.

Moonyoung slid into her seat as she high-fived Suho from under the desks. Then they had a class where they took notes while Moonyoung napped. Suho looked at her as he rolled his eyes, he lightly kicked her from under the table as she jumped awake. "Aish this brat," Moonyoung muttered as she went back to sleep.

It was break-time where Moonyoung just sat and chatted with Soo-ah and Soojin. Then Jukyung came back looking wearily at Suho and her. "im-ju!" Moonyoung called as Jukyung came over. "Are you ok? You look sick," Moonyoung said as Jukyung shook her head.

Suddenly the English teacher came in and Moonyoung went back to her seat next to Suho. During class, Moonyoung swore she saw Jukyung continuously glance at Suho but ignored it. Then they had science where Moonyoung, Suho, and Huyngyu sat together.

Moonyoung burned her alcohol as she glanced at Suho and Jukyung occasionally. After class Suho and Moonyoung walked to the next class together as he drank the fiery red ginseng and she drank a vitamin drink when suddenly two guys bumped into them causing Suho's drink to hit Moonyoung and Moonyoungs drink falling on the floor.

"Are you ok, Moonyoung?" Suho asked worriedly as she nodded, the two boys quickly apologized and hurried off when they bumped into Jukyung. "Jukyung!" Moonyoung cheered as she stared at Moonyoung's and Suho's faces.

With a loud shriek, Jukyung ran into the classroom as Suho and Moonyoung shared a look. They followed behind as they approached her she fell to the ground Soo-ah quickly got to her side. "Did you do something wrong?" Suho asked, "Why are you running away?" Moonyoung asked.

"What?" Jukyung managed to get out "The science teacher wants me to photocopy the textbook for you, I marked all the parts we learned right before you came. So photocopy the marked pages and bring it back," he said coolly before he and Moonyoung made their way to their desks.

Suho then threw her a piece of paper. She opened it and read "Tonight," he wrote, that was all it took to make Moonyoung understand. He was going to tell Lim Jukyung that he knows her secret.
