"Wanna hang out tomorrow?"
He waited seconds, waiting for her to response through the phone.
"Hey.."
"Yanna?" He spoke her nickname.
[I heard Harper went to eat dinner with your family?] Leana's voice was a little low through the line.
Haruto laid himself on his bed. "Yeah, she did."
"They loved her, for some reasons." He continued.
[Yeah right. Good for her. Your parents never liked me. So do Aki.]
He bit his lips as he looked at the ceiling. He sat up. "Hey..."
"They don't know you enough." He said in his deep voice.
[I'm just wondering.]
[I know how you've been telling me you still love me.]
[But never asked me if we could go back to what we were before.]
[Don't tell me you're waiting for the right moment.]
[Cause just to let you know, I've been waiting.]
"Lea-."
[About tomorrow, I'm not in the mood.]
With that, Leana hung up on him. He stayed still. He looked down, phone still on his right ear.
He's confused.
"Why am I really not asking her to be my girlfriend again?"
—☆—
"Keep your eyes on her."
"Yup."
"Be back before 9."
"Yes, Hunter, I will. You know me." Dylan winked.
"Look, it's not the first time they will go to the mall, Hunt." His mom said.
Harper moved Dylan away from her brother. "Besides, even if I'm going out all alone, I can handle myself. Okay?"
Hunter just blinked twice.
His little sister just laughed. "Ahuh. We're going now. Bye!"
"Be safe, you two!"
Harper nodded as she pulled Dylan out of the house.
"Minzy's really going to be mad at me." Dylan looked at her as they entered a cab.
"Oh I haven't told you?"
He furrowed his eye brows. "Told me what?"
"She's already at the mall."
Dylan frowned. I thought it was going to be just me and you.
A wide smile suddenly formed in Harper's lips. "With Mason." She giggled.
—☆—
"Thank you sir!" Harper went out the cab after Dylan.
"So are we like... hanging out with them? I'm hanging out with Mason!"
"We will hang out for a bit, I guess but not for too long. We should give them you know.. time for their own." The girl shrugged while having a teasing expression on her face.
Dylan pushed the door open for Harper. "Aw, that's kinda sad. I would want to hang out more with Mason. He's kinda cute, don't you think?"
"I'm... jealous? Do you like him?"
"What? No! I mean- I like girls." He innocently smiled.
Harper stuck her tongue out of him. "Tell me who you like."
"Uh-."
"I see them!"
They walked towards Minzy and Mason, who's waving at them while smiling. Both looking cute because of their cute heights. Good thing Minzy's 2 inch smaller than Mason.
"Hello~" Mason greeted, showing off his bunny teeth.
Minzy lets out a small laugh. "I'm craving for some burger."
"Oh- me too." Harper caressed her empty stomach.
"Then let's go, jeez! I'm hungry too." Dylan patted his tummy.
They got themselves burgers and talked for a while. After eating, they went shopping for a little bit since the girls wanted to. The boys followed them while they both go crazy on every cute stuff they see.
"You're really close to Harper, are you?" Mason looked up on Dylan.
"Ah. Yes. We've been best friends for a long time, now." Dylan rubbed the back of his neck.
Mason nodded. He wanted to ask something about Haruto, since he's on bet. But thought that he should ask Minzy instead.
"How about you? Are you close to Minzy?"
Mason chuckled. "Well, I feel comfortable around her, I guess? I find her cute when she blushes. I just tried to talk to her and thought that she wouldn't talk to me but she was hyped up when I did?"
"OH you find her cute!"
The girls turned to look at them but just shrugged it off.
"Sshh!" Dylan just laughed at the older one. "I just feel like protecting her." Mashiho shrugged.
"Your small self?"
Mason glared.
Before going to the cashier, the boys got themselves only a few stuff. They paid for what they got.
"Ah, Harper. We should go now." Minzy smiled.
"Ahuh. Have fun, you two!" She waved at them before having to go on a separate way.
—☆—
"2 caramel flavored popcorn please~" She smiled.
She jumped a little when she got her popcorns. She gave the other one to Dylan, as well as the drinks they got. They headed to the cinema and waited for the movie to start.
"This is boring. We should have selected a better movie. A horror one, I guess?" Dylan looked at her.
"Hey, this is cute, okay! An animated movie is cute." Harper chewed on her popcorn. "I promise, you'll like this." She smiled.
Her friend just shrugged. He can't say no to her.
Soon, the movie started.
Harper found all the characters cute and funny. She looked at Dylan and saw him smiling too. She laughed cause when he realized she was looking at him, she made his face serious.
"Stop that, Dy. I know you're enjoying the movie." She smiled and looked back at the screen.
Halfway through the movie, she realized she got no popcorns anymore. She looked at Dylan and grabbed his popcorn.
"Heeey." He whined. She just shove him off.
Harper laughed and almost cried though out the movie. After it was finished, she stretched her arms. "Aah~ that was a good one. Right, Dylan?"
She stood up and grabbed her bag and he nodded at her.
"I could have enjoyed it more if you did not get my popcorn out of my hands."
Harper laughed and gave him pats on his shoulder. "It's okay!!"
"You guys won't go out of the way? Stop flirting here."
Harper turned around. "Flirting?" She realized who it was and raised her eye brows. "You could have said excuse me, instead. You're too impatient. Besides, we're not flirting!"
Haruto just looked at Harper seriously. Not uttering a word. He's just looking at her. It made her uncomfortable so she looked away. "Uhh.. Didn't know you like animation movies.."
She looked at him again. His face is still blank, just looking at her. "Can you.. Can you stop looking at me?"
"Harp, come on. Let's go." Dylan tapped her shoulder.
She nodded and followed him. "Geez, how can he not speak? How weird of him!"
Haruto still looked at her until she was out of sight. He bit his lip and released a sigh. "What did I watch? I don't like animation movies, god dang it."
