"You're a mess."

Wendy said while watching her best friend rummaging through her backpack.

"Oh, shut up, Wendy. Stop standing there and help me instead!"

Wendy is right. She is a mess. Seulgi has already done with her backpack and now moves into her jacket, again.

"You already check that jacket. Thrice, if I'm not mistaken, stop it already. It's just a journal anyway. A new one, right? It is not like you already wrote that much in that book. Come on, I'll buy you a new one if it makes you stop all of this"

But it is not 'just a journal'. Seulgi thought to herself.

"Seulgi? Are you listening to me?"

After the class ended, she went to the library to collect some books for her new review assignment.

"Seulgi!"

Seulgi turned around to see Namjoon walked to her.

"Hey Namjoon"

"Hey. I'm sorry. I've tried to call you, but you're not answering. I want to ask you whether I could borrow any of your Steinbeck novels. I need it for my next assignment. Wendy said you have one" Namjoon said.

"Call? But I don't..... Crap. I must have forgotten to bring my phone today" Seulgi said after realized her phone was nowhere in her backpack or pockets.

Namjoon chuckled. "Forgetful as always aren't you? Guess you haven't changed much since high school."
