Four months have passed. From trees and plants that change into multicoloured works of art and eventually turned into falling leaves, to wind that brings biting cold, sending people craving for warmth of good food and snuggling in their bed.

  For the three friends, Yoo Si Jin, Jo Seok and Jang Jae Yeol, winter means they should ideally be halfway with their individual final year projects cause soon, time going to feels as if it passes unnoticeably fast.   At this point of time, they are rarely seen together as a group anymore. Each of them spending time on their own schedule simulating, analysing and writing as much as they can for the sake of getting the best grade.   On one cold winter evening, Si Jin walks alone on his own from the campus back towards his house. He took out a pair of black gloves from his winter coat's pocket and wears it on, then quickly covered his head with the hoodie when he feels the evening wind gently blowing, engulfing his whole body.   "Oh shoot! I forgot to buy a new razor, toothbrush and think my candies need to be stocked up too!" Si Jin suddenly remembers. He has started a new habit of chewing this particular brand of gummy honey lemon sweets, he somehow feels it helps him to be more calm and less stress nibbling them while doing his assignments at his room desk.   He strays a little bit from the normal path and walks towards the far end of the street towards a convenient store that located within the block. As he walks in, a chiming bell can be heard signalling entrance of new customer coming in. He skims the store in one glance, easily spotting the particular aisle that displaying men's grooming stuff from the signboard displayed above.   After Si Jin takes off his gloves and gathers the first two items on his list, he checks the confectionary section to see whether they sells the candy brand that he has in mind. Bingo! Shopping list complete!!! Although the candy pack is much smaller than he usually buys, he satisfies to have at least some for few days to go. He finally approaches the cashier to pay once he got everything in his hand.   He places everything on the counter top with a beaming smile on his face, but soon the smile faded, his eyes widened with slightly gaping mouth seeing the person behind the counter.   "Thirteen pounds and fifty pee please," the cashier says. She keeps a polite face but doesn't seem to look straight into the customer's eyes.   "Is this really happening?" Si Jin is too surprise with the situation that he ends up forgot to take out his wallet and hand her payment.   There is a momentarily silence between them before she finally utters, "Urmmm, thirteen pounds and fifty pee please," she pronounces the total price again.   Si Jin eventually realises his statue position, blinking eyes several times at her, "Oh,..... I'm sorry." He hastily reaches his wallet at the back of his pant and taking out some notes from it. "Here you go".   "Here's your change. Have a good day".   She still behaves as if she never meet the person in front of her before, or is it that she forgets about their previous encounter already?   "Oh, thanks! Urmmm..good day to you too....," he badly wants to ask her but doesn't know where to start. "By the way Miss, are you.....we..... we met before right? Urmmm.... in the library....Uni Central Library?" he stutters all of the sudden.   "Hi... Yes, we did. Anything I can help you with?", she is still with her hard-to-read expression.   "Yesss... I mean.... No! I don't need anything.. it's just that... I... I........", he doesn't know how to go on.   She begins to feel uneasy as well cause she keeps glancing several times to the passers-by through the glass window. Is she expecting someone to come over or something?   Si Jin badly wishes there is something that can make her talk more but course, he knows it's never going to happen, judging on her previous demeanor. He contemplates hard and finally decides to be straight to the point, after all, there's no use if none of them is taking the initiative to break the ice, and definitely it's got to be him.   "Do you still remember me?" He takes off his hoodie to make sure she has a clear look on his face. "You may have forgotten already, since our last encounter happened quite some time ago. I introduced myself as Yoo Si Jin, from Seoul.... and you said you are from Busan... but I'm not sure whether I still got your name right, is it.... Kang
