“Gong Minji? Is Gong Minji here?” The teacher peered around the room to search for the red headed girl, though to no avail.

“Is she absent? That’s strange” he marked Minzy on the attendance sheet and continued to read the list of students out loud.

Sehun and Kai both popped their heads up from their previous resting positions and looked around the room. As they noticed each other both searching for the girl, they stared at one another curiously and pondered at the missing Minzy. She was seldom ever absent from school.

Minzy had been here less than 24 hours and already her father had signed her up for piano lessons, singing lessons, violin lessons, and art lessons. It was a way to keep her busy and out of his hair while he attended to his work. She never dared to disturb him with or without the lessons, though.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of her bedroom door opening. She turned her head and was surprised to find that Chaerin had walked in.

She smiled eagerly and got up from her sitting position to run towards her.

“Chaerin unnie? What is it?” Minzy smiled and tilted
