"I just have to avoid her in the mean time," Niki mockingly quoted.
Jungwon rolled his eyes, pushing past them and walking towards his house. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Huh, must be nice to be Yebin," Jay remarked, earning a roll of eyes from the boy.
Jay then pointed a finger at Jungwon. "You still have to introduce us."
