Her lips quiver, her eyes stings when she saw the words.

She wipes the tears that roll stubbornly down her cheek before she read the content of that e-mail again.

“He really wrote that?”

She manages to whispers after some times.

She raised her hand to cup as she muffles a sob.

She then stood up from the chair and walk limply to the bed.

She pulls her knees towards her chest and hides her face in between her knees.

And she cried.

She cried her heart out for a long time before she click Sehun’s ID and brought the phone to her ear.

“Hun ah.”

“Ssul. Wae? You are crying? Yah Ssul. Tell me.”

“Minho oppa.”

“What happen to him? Don’t tell me. Wait I’ll check the news.”

“No. No Hun. Check my e-mail. Tell me that I’m not seeing things.”

“Ssul.”

Sehun utters after few moments.

“I’m right then.”

She said with a sad chuckle.

“Ssul. Do you need me there?”

She shakes her head as if Sehun can see her.

“I’m fine.”

“You are not.”

“It’s okay Hun ah. I’ll be back tomorrow.”

“Ssul ah.”

“Thanks Hun ah. I have to go.”

She ended the call and grips her phone.

“Oh God. Why now? Why after all these years?”

She tosses her phone aside and sinks her head on the pillow, hoping that she will wake up from this nightmare.

“Okay guys. Here I am filling in your lovely Miss Choi’s place due to her not being able to walk well.”

Jongin chuckles when the Sulli’s students giggle.

“Here we go then. Each one of you has to take this question and choose which one is good for you. I mean you know, based on what your talent.”

He earns another round of laughter from them.

“Sorry guys. I’m not used to this.”

“We understand it Mr. Kim.”

One of them said and earns a wink from Jongin.

“Thank you.”

He then gives the papers to them and stands in the middle.

“You guys remember what you had learnt yesterday?”

“Yes!”

“So, you know what you need to do right?”

They answer with an enthusiastic yes again which brought a grin to his y lips.

“You may start now. I’ll be around if you have any questions okay.”

They then start busying themselves with the questions and their sketch book.

Jongin glances to Sulli’s room from where he stands and crooked his mouth when he saw the empty chair.

“Where did she go?”

As he was about to sit down, his phone vibrates which makes him grins.

“Is it Sulli?”

He unlocked his phone and chuckles when he sees Sehun’s name.
