"I guess I could accompany you to the mall..." You say, and he smiles widely at your response, showing all his white teeth.

"Hurray!" He throws his arms out and celebrates. You stare at his sudden, flamboyant reaction, and he stops.

"Ahh, sorry." He blushes a little and apologizes. His arms that were in the air are now hanging limp by his sides. < He's quite adorable. >

You and Sungjong both chat for a little longer in the hallway, when you hear the first school bell ring.

"You have to go to class now!" He urges you. "I'm sorry for keeping you for so long. Could we possibly have lunch together?"

You slowly nod and he grins. "Okay! We should meet up near the front of the building." He waves goodbye and disappears through the gym doors.

You hurriedly walk past the vast bodies of the students scrambling to get to their class.

< I have to get to Room 233. I don't want to be late! > And as if by a miracle, you approach a door with 'Room 233' on a small sign to the left of it.

You twist the door handle and walk in, just before the second 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.
