Day 6027
I wake up the next morning with a broken ankle. Luckily, it’s been a while and the crutches are next to my bed.
I can’t help it – I check my email. But there’s no word from Jessica. I feel alone. Completely alone. Then I realize there’s one other person in the world who vaguely know who I am. I check to see if he’s written me lately.
And indeed he has. There are 20 unread messages from Minho, each more desperate than the previous one, ending with:
All I ask is for an explanation. I will leave you after that. I just need to know.
I write him back.
Fine. Where should we meet?

Since Seohyun can’t exactly drive, and Minho is not allowed to use the car, either, so our parents have to drop us off. Even though I don’t say it, mine just assumes it’s a date.
The hitch is that Minho is expecting me to be a guy named Kim, since that’s who I said I was last time. But if I’m going to tell him the truth, being Seohyun will help me illustrate my point.
We’re meeting at a café by his house. I see him walk in, and it’s almost like he’s dressed for a date, too – even if he doesn’t look sporty, he’s definitely trying to look his best self. I raise one of my crutches and wave to him; he knows I have crutches, just not that I’m a girl.
