Katniss was going to have an important presentation on the next day but she was still unable to start preparing anything. Her mind was busy with her own thoughts, even more so after Changkyun uttered the last sentence.

Why did Wonho come to see her but not everyone else? She had asked Jiwoo and Somin but they both said no. In fact, they were so shocked that they were not able to say anything, other than furiously nodding and shaking their heads.

Wonho was there again. Laying on her bed on his right side, watching her intently. His smile had never go away (Katniss was almost sure that he had it cemented there) and whenever Katniss started daydreaming again and again, he would occasionally knock the wooden table she was sitting at.
