As the days passed by, the time for Jooyoung and her group to present their topic finally came. All of her classmates seemed satisfied enough with their presentation. They could understand well as the interaction among them was clearly smooth. As for the teacher, she just gave them the thumbs up as the sign of satisfaction. All Jooyoung could do was smiling broadly with her set of teeth showing. She was going to acknowledge all the attentions given which was mainly for her. Didn't going to deny her friends' efforts but she felt really proud of herself for trying her best.

Although the result for their project remained unknown as it would be revealed two weeks later, still she couldn't hide the excitement. The excitement to get the highest score based on the hint given by the teacher and by the audiences' response. She couldn't think of anything better except of him.

*Takuya's Dream 

His eyes saw the green and fascinating view in front. He was positive that the place was unfamiliar yet he followed the steps taken by his feet, his bare feet. 

For a while, he felt calm. Didn't want to leave the situation he was in. He was afraid to come back. However, the pleasant feeling must be disturbed by a sharp pain! His breathe was uneven because of it. The pain was aimed straight to his heart. He remained frozen like a statue. 

Then, he could also hear the eerie sounds surrounding him. Without thinking, his feet brought him away. He seemed to forget his condition just now. The scars on his feet which he got from running couldn't stop him fully. Sweats streamed down his body like a waterfall.
