Autumn, 2012

“Ah! Kyuhyun-san! Long time no see.”

Kyuhyun turned his body around and smiled at the young woman who was waving at him. “Ah, Kumiko-san, do you know where I can find Joohyun?”

The Japanese girl who was one of Joohyun’s closest friends in the Uni  furrowed her eyebrows, tried to remember what her friend’s schedule and where she would be at.

“Ooh! I know,” she giggled, “Joohyun-san must be on the classroom at the end of the alley on the second floor.”

Kyuhyun raised his eyebrows in confusion. “She took another class? I thought she is done with all of them.”

Kumiko continued to giggle. “Oh course not! She is amongst the first to wrap her classes in our years. She is not taking class, she is actually having a class to teach.”

“Oh!”

“Yeah, cool isn’t it?”

Kyuhyun smiled. “Of course.”

“And what class to teach to! So many beautiful juniors! And all are the best of their year!” Kumiko continues to rap with dreamy eyes and then suddenly remember who Kyuhyun was. “ Uh, I meant….” She stuttered., “anyway, just go to the second floor and follow the sign!” She gave him a small paper with the name of the classroom. “Tell Joohyun that I want you and her to come to the party tonight!”

Kyuhyun looked at the paper in his hand and suddenly his stomach churned.

Was there something he needed to worry?

*****

After a few minutes twirling the paper in his hand with some funny feeling in the pit of his stomach, Kyuhyun decided to check Joohyun’s class.

It should not be something that could bother him,  everyone knew that Joohyun was his girlfriend and de facto they were almost already engaged.

Right?

“We have reached the end of the class, please make sure you read the chapter I told you to prepare the exam. Thank you.”

When he almost reaching the last classroom in the alley, he heard the familiar voice and he smiled. That’s great, her class was ended, so they could…… Uh? Who’s that?

He saw Joohyun at the lecturer chair was talking animatedly to a tall and lanky young man. Her opponent seemed to capture all her attentions at the time because he heard other students were bowing at her but she only nodded and continued her conversation.
