2nd Chapter

MAYBE (TOP’s POV)

            I just started working on my bike; I’ve been lacking time to do it last week, when a familiar looking girl got my attention. She was walking slowly and she seemed to be deep in thought. Now and then she would look up at the sky. I stopped what I was doing and immediately wiped my hand clean on a nearby towel. I just started working on my bike, so I’m not that sweaty.

I crossed the street and approached the girl. She’s so preoccupied that she didn’t even notice me. I touched her shoulder the same time I said her name.

            “So where are you heading?”

            “Home… I just came from Yong Bae’s house. He was busy, so I left him for a while.” She turned and started walking slowly again.

            “Is it okay if I walk you home? I’m going that way as well. I have something to buy.” I lied. I just wanted to walk her home, I have nothing to buy.

            “Okay” she answered as she looked back at me.

            “So what are you up to these days? I haven’t seen you that much outside lately.” We started walking again, she was looking down again. 

            “The usual… assignments, projects, college applications, reviews.” She looked up at the sky again. I can’t put my finger on it but why do I have a feeling that she’s sad? I have thi
