At Nam High School, Soo Jung was waiting for the class to start when suddenly Ji Ho tap her back.

Ji Ho: "Good morning!"

Soo Jung: "Good morning too!"

Ji Ho: "I've heard from Jae Hyun, you're old friend is here" 

Soo Jung: "Yes, he's my sunbae actually, from my hometown."

Ji Ho: "Oh...I see..."

After the class, Soo Jung and Jae Hyun spend lunch break together. Every class now knew that they are a couple, students have mix feelings towards the new couple in the school but Jae Hyun doesn't mind others. While at the table, 

Jae Hyun: "How's class?"

Soo Jung: "Good, how about you" while eating her food

Jae Hyun: "Same but I didn't listen much because I feel sleepy"

Soo Jung: "You shouldn't slack off in the class, you know that graduation is coming right?"

Jae Hyun: "Yeah, I know...but I also do have a practice right? I'm havinga hard time balancing my time, that's why I'm receiving failing grades with some of my subject."

Soo Jung: "How about this...uhmmm...I can tutor you after class" when Jae Hyun heard of it, he became ecstatic and said

Jae Hyun: "Really?! Really?"

Soo Jung: "Yeah..why not? we just live in the same neighborhood"

Jae Hyun just smiled and said "Okay, I'm looking forward to that" 

At the afternoon class, where Soo Jung, Jae Hyun, Ji Ho and Su Min were all in the same class. The teacher announced that there will be an upcoming festival and senior students are assign for the booths and other activities that will occur in the festival. After the class, the president of the class hold a meeting on what kind of activities and booths that they will have. Ji Ho offered that they will have a mini concert after the booths and game activities while the whole class decided to have a cafe since all of the popular students are in there like Jae Hyun. Ji Ho and Su Min. Jae Hyun and Ji Ho didn't want to have it since they need to wear suits as for the girls they need to wear cute waitress uniforms. After the meeting, Ji Ho went to Soo Jung.

Ji Ho: "Hey! Soo Jung!" 

Soo Jung: "What is it?"

Ji Ho: "You know that we will be having a concert right?"

Soo Jung: "Yes..."

Ji Ho: "I would like you to participate with us"

Soo Jung: "What?!" Ji Ho nods with a smile and said

Ji Ho: "Jae Hyun said you can sing and play the piano and I think it's perfect." Soo Jung glared at Jae Hyun 

Soo Jung: "He really talks a lot..."

Ji Ho: "Not really...he just likes to talk about you a lot" Soo Jung flustered as she knew that Jae Hyun talks about her a lot to Ji Ho.

Soo Jung: "Uhmm..I'm not a pro in playing the piano...I'm not confident with that...."

Ji Ho: "Don't worry, I will see it when we start our practice, okay?" Ji Ho pats her head and went out. 

After class, Soo Jung and Jae Hyun took a bus together.

Soo Jung: "Hey! how could you!"

Jae Hyun: "Why?"

Soo Jung: "You spilled out that I sing and play the piano...I never tell that to others except to you" 

Jae Hyun rest his head to Soo Jung's shoulder and said

Jae Hyun: "Sorry...I also like to see you sing or play the piano that's why I suggest Ji Ho to ask you." 

Soo Jung looked at Jae Hyun and said

Soo Jung: "But I never sing and play the piano in front of everybody...I usually just in the back or I'm assigned to a group then we sing but I never do it alone."

Jae Hyun now understood why Soo Jung felt a bit upset that he just told Ji Ho about her singing and playing the piano. Jae Hyun still kept his head rest to Soo Jung's shoulder. Ji Ho also wants to show to everyone what Soo Jung can do. He wants to make Soo Jung's senior year a memorable one.

For the past few weeks, all seniors students are busy with the preparations for the festival which will happen next week. The girls are working in the costume and decorations while the boys are working on what kind of advertisement that they will have and also the hard work like carrying the materials for their cafe. While some of the girls went out, Soo Jung and Su Min left. The atmoshphere was quiet while they are continuing their work. Soo Jung noticed how Su Min cut her long hair. When Soo Jung already finished with the cardboard displays, Soo Jung needs a hand to help her the remaining materials. She looked at Su Min and tried to ask her

Soo Jung: "Su Min-ssi..may I ask if...you can help with carrying this?" Soo Jung felt hesitated to ask Su Min but since she wants to finish all the assigned task to them, Soo Jung had no other choice but to ask Su Min. Su Min looked at her and she went silently to the other side and help Soo Jung. After they place the materials, Soo Jung said her thanks to Su Min

Soo Jung: "Su Min...thank you!" 

Su Min : "That's okay..." 

Soo Jung was surprised when Su Min replied to her and she continued

Soo Jung: "Uhmm...I would like to say..." Su Min looked back to her and said

Su Min: "If you still think...I will still pursue my feelings for Jae Hyun, I have already concluded that I won't continue it anymore so you really don't need to worry anymore." Su Min get her bag and she was about to go when Soo Jung stop her and called her name

Soo Jung: "Su Min...I actually want to say...is that I hope we can forget what happened before and continue finishing this senior year without being awkward." Soo Jung reach out her hand, Su Min looked at it and suddenly she reach Soo Jung's hand.

Su Min: "Okay...like what I said earlier something between those words that I said is that I already forget what happened before." Soo Jung and Su Min both shake hands. 

While the boys are carrying for the materials, they were talking about their future plans after graduating. Jae Hyun and Ji Ho were both in the same group. Then one boy asked Ji Ho 

(*B#1 = male student)

B#1: "Hey! Ji Ho, how about you? do you have plans after graduation?" 

Ji Ho: "Plans? I think it's pretty obvious"

B#1: "Then what is it?" Ji Ho asked his classmate to carry the box for a whi
