I was sitting on a bench near the school main gate when I spotted B2ST gang was making their way through the gate.

Laughing and pushing around.

But then Dongwoon was waving to a guy outside the gate.

Then the rest was greeting to the guy too.

I was curious.

And so I pretend to walk past them.

When I walked closer, I gasped.

Yoseop? Why is he here?

He was talking and playfully punched around the B2ST guy.

They know each other?

I stood a few metres away from them.

Then I saw Kikwang was looking at me.

Then he blinked away. Like I was invincible.

My heart ached. 6 months ago feels like 6 seconds ago.

I couldn’t forget how painful I had been. Just because of him.

Suddenly, “IU?”

I snapped out from my emotion. Yoseop was looking at me. Followed by the others.

“Oh—annyeong.” I pretend a smile, as I walked to them.

I can feel every gaze were on me. Especially Kikwang’s.

“Why are you here?” I asked Yoseop.

“Just meeting with my ol’ guys.” Yoseop smiled, “I didn’t know you study here too.”

Ol' guys? So they know each other?

“Well, here I am.” I smiled.

We joked around for a moment. (Well practically I was just a listener.)

Yoseop was laughing so loud when suddenly he went mute. Just in a second.

I looked at him.

He looked stunned, startled, fear, as he stared over my shoulder.

I turned.

There, a few steps away from me, was Tiffany; holding her red Prada bag, stood motionlessly, as she replied Yoseop’s stare.

There was something going on among them.

Suddenly tense filled the air.

They both were staring at each other’s sad eyes.

Like there are stories behind them.

But I couldn’t tell what.
