In the next few weeks, Seulgi had to endure the uneasiness that crept into her mind whenever she did her Digital and New Media final task. She was writing about Vault, which means that she must go through that app back and forth. Coupled with the fact that she was one of the selected students from her class who will present her paper in the exhibition, Seulgi had to do double work. This app always reminds her of 1rhapsody4. Even though she already had 1rhapsody4 blocked, sometimes Seulgi still scrolled through their chats and laughed at some of their conversations. 

She didn't know where to begin again with 1rhapsody4. The fact that he already told Seulgi that everything is okay between them didn't cease Seulgi's insecurity. She pushed him away for a while to get a peaceful state of mind, but Seulgi found it ridiculous that she became more agitated as time goes by. 

Seulgi stared at her laptop screen. She was making a poster for her Digital and New Media final task exhibited next week, but she stopped midway to let her mind wandered. What if she didn't slip that day? Will she finally meet Kai for the second time? Will they no longer use Vault to chat and use Kakaotalk instead? Will she get her hopes immensely high that they have become friends in real life?

Her phone that she put on her desk buzzed once. Seulgi picked it up and found Seungwan's name popped on the screen.

"Seulgi, are you home? Can I meet you there and talk?".

"Huh?". She looked at the time on top of her phone screen. 7.15 PM.

"Why? Can't you talk on the phone or chat instead?".

"No, this is very important".

Seulgi agreed to Seungwan's command and saved her work swiftly.

It didn't take long for Seulgi's front bell to ring. Seungwan came in and sat on Seulgi's couch, followed by Seulgi next to her.

"What is it?", Seulgi said. "Is that really urgent?".

Seungwan nodded her head a few times before she uttered. "I was doing my Digital Media task...and I can't resist this thought. Seulgi, I have something to tell you".

Seulgi encouraged Seungwan to talk by her silence and her motionless gaze.

"Remember one time when we hung out and I picked up a call from someone? It was Chanyeol. He went to Kyunghee, and he had a friend...who is looking for you. He said his friend knew you from Vault".

Seungwan's words successfully pulled Seulgi closer to her, with her forehead crinkled into several folds. "What else did he tell you? And what did you tell him?".

"Chanyeol asked me first if I knew you or not. I said that you are my friend, and that's when he told me that you've exchanged things with his friend. I told Chanyeol that I didn't know anything other than you using Vault for final task research", Seungwan slowly lifted her gaze to Seulgi to found out any trace of angry expression from the dark brown-haired girl, but there was none. "And he said you've ghosted him too, so...yeah. That's all".

I ghosted Kai? It wasn't counted as ghosting if she clearly told him to take a break from talking, though. 

"That's all?", Seulgi repeated.

"Yeah, that's all".

"Something is strange".

"Strange?".

"I mean...if Chanyeol went to Kyunghee, and Chanyeol knew you went to Yonsei...that means Chanyeol's friend knew that I went to Yonsei...", Seulgi squinted her eyes. 

"Maybe he did a research about you".

"Research? Do you mean, stalking?". 

"Uh...is your Insta on private or not?", Seungwan asked.

"", Seulgi cursed, palming her face so sudden. "It's not!". She picked her phone from the table and opened her Instagram. Scrolling through her own page a few times, she found a picture she posted two years ago when she was accepted into Yonsei. That was the only post on her page that used a location in Yonsei. Of course, it wasn't that hard to find me. 

"Have you met him before?".

"It was a coincidence".

"How is that a coincidence?".

Seulgi finally opened up to Seungwan about her and Kai exchanging things, the first turning point when they met at a coffee shop, and the second plummeting point when she unintentionally called him as his real nickname.

"Yak! Are you still embarrassed after 4 weeks? Go meet him! It's not like he scolded you or what!", Seungwan shook her head in disbelief. 

"But I like him!", Seulgi finally confessed. "I...I was...I was just afraid of facing him with this feeling".

"And then? Shoot your shot! If he rejected you, cool, move on, and befriended him like usual after that. If he accepted you, it's a jackpot. What's so hard?".

Seulgi pouted, putting her chin on top of her palms. "It is always easier said than done".

Seungwan slapped Seulgi's shoulder firmly once, emitting a stern gaze from her eyes. "Do it now, or you'll lose him". Seulgi still whimpered from the pain and flicked Seungwan's wrist. She remained silent for a moment, giving her mind, not her heart, to think about the next move. 

Seulgi walked towards her desk and pulled her notebook. She tore one of the empty pages. Her right hand was holding and swinging her pen in a swift motion. Not long after, some of the lines were filled with her handwriting. She reread his letter twice and convinced herself that it was the best letter she ever made in her life. Maybe it's the opposite, but she didn't have time to revise anything anyway.

Putting the letter inside a sealed envelope, Seulgi gave it to Seungwan. "Send this to Chanyeol and tell Chanyeol to send it to Kai. Only Kai can see what's inside".

"You're going to meet him soon, right?".

"Yes, yes! Just pass this on first".

Seulgi could pick the easier route by unblocking Kai on Vault and sent him a message, she was fully conscious of that. But where's the fun? Giving Kai a little thrill by receiving her handwritten note was able to light up her heart again. She couldn't wait for his reaction.

Jongin felt weird that his right arm was no longer holding onto something made from metal in every movement he made.

He also felt uneasy to finally step on both of his legs on the ground without any additional weight from the plaster cast on his left leg. 

But if to feel weird was the only thing that he could handle right now, Jongin didn't wish for anything else. After almost four months of slow then accelerated progress and bottles of pa
