"Hello, we're 25! Our goal is to graduate before we're twenty-five."

"Hyejin, can you be more serious?"

"We have the sun, wind and flower so how about photosynthesis?"

Wheein rolled her eyes.

"Hello, this is Wheein on drums and we're The Beagles."

"I'm Solar and I'm in charge of the keys."

"Hwasa, your campus fatal vocalist and also in charge of the guitar. Good morning, babes!"

The crowd went wild, they were all cheering for the band. The Beagles is one of the well-respected and well-known band inside and outside the campus, for they've took a stand against the gender norms.

Moon Byulyi, on the other hand, was surprised— the three girls she've met earlier were all in the same band, on the same stage.

"Do you ever feel so nostalgic about a lost love? The one that got away? This song is called Welcome Home."

Under the tree
Our favorite spot
Stargazing
Counting the stars
Endless and infinite
You and I
Memories of us yesterday
Promises
That we've made together
Feelings
I'm swimming in the pool of nostalgia
Confusion
Slowly sinking
Sadness
It's eating me I'm trapped
Happiness
Overflowing when we're together
Holding hands and sharing laughter

16 hours, thousand miles
Waiting for the time to fly
Morning and evening
This is so confusing
West and east
North and south
Opposite timelines
I want to reach you now

Cherry blossoms
Leaves are falling
5 centimeters per second
The sky
It's turning into caramel
The sun
It's finally meeting the moon
My lips
Wanting to say something
But I couldn't
My throat
It's dry no matter how much I tried

16 hours, thousand miles
Waiting for the time to fly
Morning and evening
This is so confusing
West and east
North and south
Opposite timelines
I want to reach you now

How fast how long
Am I going to wait
How happy how sad
You are today
I woke up this morning
With a bottle of beer
In my hands

16 hours, thousand miles
Those are just numbers
I will count and count
The hours and miles
Surely I will reach you
And someday I want to say
The words of love
"Welcome home"

The crowd were in tears, Moon Byulyi also— she doesn't have any lost love or the one that got away— she was so immersed in the song. She felt the music, the lyrics stabbing her heart.
