"Sorry, Jae Won. I can't go. I have to go to school."

It was hard for you to say that, but you hope Jae Won would do just fine in whatever situation he was in.

You hang up and continue to glance at your phone every once in a while. < Maybe I should have gone to help Jae Won... By the way, where is Sang Min? >

You don't tear your eyes off the phone, checking the time or so every minute, which seemed to pass by very slowly.

You sigh and put the phone back in your pocket and start roaming around the hallways.

You continue to aimlessly walk up and down the hallways of the Seoul High School building for a while, not noticing that your phone was vibrating in your pocket the whole time.

The hallway is now filled with students, running everywhere to find their classes.

Suddenly, you the chime of an old bell echo through the hallways. < School is starting soon. > You grimly think, trudging to your classroom, room 233.

You happen to walk inside just before the second school bell rang. < I got lucky... >

You scan the room full of students, and you see Yeong Sang Min sitting by himself in his desk in the back, looking blankly out the window.

The teacher hasn't arrived yet, so you walk up the empty desk next to his and sit down. "Sang Min." You say, and his head turns slowly toward you.

He's quiet, which makes you nervous. < Is he mad? >

"Where were you?" He asks, a hint of frustration and disappointment evident in his voice.

"I-"

What do you do?

a. Tell Sang Min the truth.
b. Dismiss it as nothing.
