Finally, after what seemed like forever, the bell rang signaling the end of first period. My classmates began to pack their belongings, heading out the door one by one.

"Argh. Math's getting harder every year," I complained while gathering my things when I heard someone laugh behind me.

"Are you still having a hard time in math, Haneul?" Myungsoo chuckled.

I pouted. I didn’t want to admit it but it’s true and he knows it. "Apparently. I don't get how it's such an easy subject for you."

"Myungsoo..." I relaxed as he then gave my head a light pat.

"Don't worry. I'll help you pass just like the old times," he winked. "I'm sure you'll pass with my help." He began to walk towards the door but before he left, he ce more and smiled. "Haneul. It's time to head to our next class. Don't just stand there."

"Welcome back to school, class. Since this is our first meeting, I'm going to ask you to show me what you have so far." Mrs. Han began. "You can either dance or sing in front of the class." She gave us a paper containing our assignment and set aside thirty minutes to prepare.

Hmm... what should I do? I'll just sing, I thought. I was never a great dancer.

After thirty minutes, Mrs. Han called out our names one by one. "Time's up. Let's start with Lee Haneul."

As I went to the front of the class, the other students encouraged me by clapping their hands.

"Hello. My name is Lee Haneul. I'll be singing IU's 'Someday'." I
