AeRi is not in the teachers’ lounge by the lunch time. I guess it’s official that she’s avoiding me. I know her schedule and plan to talk to her as two adults about what happened last weekend. I was about to knock he classroom door when I see it’s already opened. I come closer and see the last thing I need to see today.

“Please Yeon-a, I’ll explain later.” She gets up and walks towards me, “I really need to be alone.”

“What for? To consider what he just said? About how he wished he hadn’t left you?” it seems like all of my patience for AeRi has gone to its limit and blow up at this point.

She looks surprise, “You
