When did things start to turn out this way? 

 

Were Soojin's thoughts while she was standing there, wearing her old high school uniform while she's surrounded by her old high school friends. 

 

When will I be able to go back to the present time?! 

 

Her mind was filled with those two questions, repeating it over and over thinking that maybe if she kept questioning herself, she'll magically go back to the present like how she magically came back to the past. 

 

Now, this all started in the present. 

 

Where Lee Soojin is a college student, struggling to do all of her homeworks because there were too many of them. 

 

The stress was there, she was tired and the deadlines were getting near. 

 

Even if she's already working on all of her homeworks on her laptop, she still couldn't brush off the fact that she's exhausted and is needing a small break. 

 

Though determined to finish all of it in one day, she types away in her laptop. 

 

As she types and types and continues to type more, her phone started to vibrate on the side of her table. 

 

Successfully catching her attention, Soojin momentarily stopped typing and turned her head towards her phone. 

 

"Store Manager" it read. 

 

It was the manager in the small store that she's currently working in, also that was one of the reasons why she's so tired. 

 

Not only does she study and do homeworks all night long, she works in the afternoon too when she's done with classes. 

 

She picks up her phone and answers the call, "Hello sir?" 

 

"Ah, Soojin-ssi, the other worker who's supposed to work in the store tomorrow just called in sick." 

 

Soojin already knows where this is going. "Oh.. I see.." 

 

"I don't really have anyone to give this shift too since the others have already told me that they'd be busy in the following days." 

 

"..I see." Soojin repeated what she just said. 

 

"So, I'm giving this shift to you. I'll open the store for you tomorrow at around 3 in the afternoon, alright?" 

 

Soojin's smile now faded, she's actually supposed to be in class at that time but.. the store manager may pay her more if she takes the shift. 

 

"..I'll do that, sure." 

 

"Alright. You'll have to close the shop at night too, got it?" 

 

"Yes, I got it. Bye." She immediately hung up, not wanting to talk to him anymore. 

 

He's not that bad, Soojin was just too stressed out and tired to even talk to anyone longer than a minute. 

 

She sets her phone back down on the table beside her laptop before slightly leaning back against her chair, letting out a deep sigh. 

 

All she wanted to do now was to jump on her bed and rest, but of course she couldn't do that. 

 

Not when she has homeworks to finish. 

 

Just then, her phone lit up, a notification showed up on the screen. Soojin looked down and saw that the notification was from Han Jihyo, one of her younger friends back in high school. 

 

Without thinking, she opens it and reads the post. She was tagged in Jihyo's post with a group picture attached. 

 

It was an old picture of her and her friends back in high school, they were all wearing the same old high school uniform. 

 

Jihyo's post was with the caption "It's been 2 years already" with hearts on it. 

 

Soojin couldn't help but smile. 

 

The picture was taken 2 years ago but Soojin can see that almost none of them had changed, even her. 

 

She missed it. 

 

Being with them and spending her free time with all of them, they were the ones who made Soojin's high school life complete and enjoyable. 

 

She would do anything to relive her high school life with them, literally, anything. 

 

But remembering that she's now in college and is struggling to keep herself awake made her smile disappear. 

 

She's in the present now, there was no time diving into the past, digging up happy memories when she has something important to finish. 

 

Maybe some other time.

 

She was about to continue working on her homework but she was growing even more tired every second and she might not be able to continue her work if she doesn't take a rest. 

 

She sighs and closes her eyes before softly patting her face as if she's trying to wake up her senses. 

 

Running her fingers through her hair, she lets out another sigh. 

 

Convinced that she wouldn't be able to stay awake much longer, she really badly needs a rest. 

 

"Let me take a 5 minute nap." She whispers to no one but herself before resting her head down on her right arm. 

 

It didn't take long for her to finally fall asleep and escape reality. 

 

Everything was dark and Soojin obviously couldn't see anything for she already closed her eyes to sleep. 

 

That was when she suddenly opened her eyes, startled awake. Like something made her open her eyes even though she just started sleeping. 

 

What was weird though, was that she was no longer sitting in front of her table that was inside her room. 

 

She isn't even in her room anymore. 

 

And it seemed that she's… outside? 

 

When she was now fully aware of what was happening, she looked around, looking confused. 

 

"What?" she thought.

 

Why was she outside? Wasn't she just inside her room?

 

"I thought I fell asleep while doing homework..?"

 

She no longer felt the exhaustion she felt just a few seconds ago when she was inside her room doing her homework. 

 

Though, she may be confused but her surroundings.. looked a tad bit familiar to her. Like she's been there before.

 

She kept looking around, blinking over and over to see if she wasn't dreaming. 

 

Suddenly, she heard footsteps getting closer to her. She turned her head to the right and what she saw made her even more confused and shocked at the same time. 

 

Walking towards her was Kim Jimin and Park Soeun, two of her friends back in high school, wearing the same old uniform that they wore back then. 

 

Both Jimin and Soeun walked up to her with tangled arms, smiling knowingly at her. "Hey." 

 

It didn't take long for Soojin to see the others too. Han Jihyo came up from behind Jimin with Lee Jaehee, sporting their cute and charming smiles.

 

"Are you still not awake??" Jimin asked in a kind of teasing way as she ran her fingers through her hair.

 

Soojin then turned to her left and saw Shin Jiyoon with Jo Hyewon, "What are you doing??" Jiyoon was slightly frowning at her. 

 

Whatever was happening really is starting to confuse Soojin even more. 

 

Soojin was still trying to let this scene in front of her sink in her head. 

 

She then felt Soeun wrap an arm around her before softly shaking her, "Were you sleeping while standing?" 

 

Soojin was not able to respond as she just stared at Soeun with a confused expression. 

 

"What the heck?" She thought while still looking back and forth at everyone else. 

 

Jimin was laughing her off while both Jihyo and Jaehee laughed at Jimin for not being able to hold in her laughter. 

 

Soeun, Jiyoon and Hyewon were smiley, just like how Soojin remembered them to be when they were back in high school. 

 

It's as if.. she really is back in high school with everyone else. 

 

She was even wearing their old high school uniform! 

 

"You can't be sleeping at times like this." Jiyoon playfully scolded her. 

 

Soeun pulled her closer and it felt so real to her. "Could it be..?" 

 

"Did I just go back in time to become a high school student again?!"

 

Soojin looked so worried and it was the opposite of what the others were feeling, they were being playful as always.

 

Just like back then. 

 

Then she remembered thinking of wanting to go back in time, where she could be in high school again with the others. 

 

The time where they're much more free and not busy and stressed. 

 

She did want that.. but.. Why now?! 

 

---------- 

 

Soojin has been stuck in the past for a few days now, she doesn't know when and how she'd be able to go back to the present. 

 

She doesn't even know how this time traveling thing works! She may be stuck in here but what if the time in the present is ticking as well?? 

 

If that's the case then she must've been missing for a few days now, or worse.. she switched with her high school self! 

 

That's what she's so worried about. 

 

She tries her best to shake the thought of it off of her head but she just couldn't ignore it because what if that is the case? 

 

Everything is starting to frustrate her. 

 

She doesn't even remember all the things that were happening around her, could it be that this is really not her past? 

 

Or.. 

 

"Soojin unnie!" Jaehee called out to her from a distance, "If you're done with looking for your stuff in your locker, come join us in the student lounge!" 

 

Soojin blinks before taking a book from her locker, "I'll be right there!" 

 

With that, Jaehee smiles before walking on ahead of her. 

 

Her theory of this not being a part of her past was kind of crazy now that she thinks about it again, but this is crazy too. 

 

She suddenly ended up in the past when she was about to take a small break from all the homeworks that she's been working on for days.

 

So, nothing really is impossible if Soojin thinks of more crazy things. 

 

Is this a different dimension or something? 

 

Well, this is her old school, her old uniform and her old friends. But it was just.. a bit different from what she remembers. 

 

Though, she does remember hanging out with her friends in the student lounge at recess or lunch. 

 

That was like, their spot, they claimed it. 

 

Another thing that she doesn't remember was the list that was attached inside her locker. 

 

The "Teenager to do list" 

 

Soojin doesn't remember owning such a list, it just sounded like some other student would do but Soojin would never make a list. 

 

She may be organized in some way but she doesn't make lists, ever, not even in the present. 

 

One thing that she read in the list was "Thinking seriously about career paths"

 

Past Soojin must've been very focused on achieving her dream job, Soojin now started to wonder what past Soojin will say if she finds out that Soojin's stuck working in a convenience store around her college campus. 

 

She sighs before making her way towards the student lounge. She decided that she'll think about this some other time, for now, she has to act like the old Soojin. 

 

The younger and more naive Soojin.. the problem is… Soojin doesn't remember how she acted back then. 

 

She may just wing it. 

 

When she arrived at the student lounge, Jaehee and the others were sitting around the table filling up the paper that was given to them earlier in class. 

 

It's the career thing, Soojin remembers filling it up back then … but not the specific things she filled it up with. 

 

Everyone was quiet and focused, Soojin decided to just focus on this, she'll think about ways on how to go back to the present later. 

 

Jimin was just playing with her pen, Jiyoon let out a deep sigh and Soeun? Well, Soeun looks like she's about to be one with the paper with how close she is to it. 

 

Seems like no one's really taking this seriously then. 

 

"Guys," Jaehee spoke, successfully catching everyone's attention. She then waves the paper around before continuing to speak. "These things, they're useless." 

 

Soojin stares at the younger girl, yep, that was definitely the Jaehee she knows. 

 

"Do you know what plan that never fails?? It's not having any plans, you get what I mean? No plan!" She enthusiastically says. 

 

"I know," Jimin momentarily raises one of her hands, eyes still on the paper. "You mean we just wing it right? It's just like planning an outing but in the end it never happens and the outing that isn't planned is always the outing that happens." 

 

Jaehee nods, "That sounded confusing but yes. That." 

 

"I got one, parasite?" 

 

Jaehee lets out a set of "ohs" at what Jimin just said, impressed. 

 

Soojin on the other hand understood nothing. In her head they were talking nonsense, but what they're saying may be a shortcut or may come in handy for them in the future. 

 

Jaehee then pointed at Jimin with her two hands, "No wonder you wanted to major in film." Jimin was quick to act like she was complimented and was called the smartest person alive, dabbing with one arm. 

 

As soon as the two girls stopped talking, Jiyoon sighed before leaning against her chair. 

 

"Ugh, whatever. Forget planning or not having a plan, nothing works anyway. Maybe I'll just take a gap year!" She states, Soojin could already see Jaehee slowly putting her fingers down. 

 

It's as if she was counting whatever Jiyoon was saying. 

 

"But you know what's worse? I don't even know what I want to major in!" She then laughs, like she just told a funny joke. 

 

Now, Soojin knows that this is a lie, Jiyoon in the present is already majoring in music. She already wrote a ton of songs that Soojin knows would go viral if she puts it out there. 

 

Or maybe the Jiyoon she's currently with is actually not the Jiyoon who's with her in the present. 

 

"My life is a failure." Jiyoon's smile gets wider and then followed by "I want to go home." Jimin looked at her with a poker face before looking at Jaehee who now puts another finger down. 

 

Soojin only watches, she doesn't really know what Jaehee was doing but she can tell that Jimin knows what it is. 

 

"It's five smacks right? Just five smacks?" Jimin asks Jaehee with a small smile before the younger girl sends her an ok sign. 

 

"Five smacks? Why don't we make it six?" Jimin playfully suggested and that was when Jiyoon turned to look at the board behind her where a sign was put up. 

 

A sign that says "Don't say these forbidden words" to which Jiyoon said all of them. 

 

Soojin now finally understood what it was. 

 

"Alright, I'll give her five smacks only. Jiyoon, relax, it won't hurt." Jimin not so terrifyingly assures Jiyoon. 

 

"Give me your arm." 

 

Jiyoon chuckles, "What if I don't want to?" 

 

"Then I'll smack you ten times." 

 

"Hell no." Jiyoon said with a wide smile before pushing Jimin's hand away, standing up and running out of the student lounge. 

 

Though she wouldn't be able to escape the taller girl for Jimin also stood up and went after her. "Come back here you little— !!" 

 

And just like that, they were off. 

 

Jaehee went back to looking down at her paper. And the student lounge was quiet again, Soojin let out a silent sigh before diverting her gaze towards Soeun. 

 

Soojin knows for a fact that Soeun ended up majoring in dance in the present, but here, Soojin doesn't know what Soeun is going to write down. 

 

To Soojin, Soeun looked a bit worried. 

 

Like she wasn't sure if she's satisfied with what she wrote down. Soojin, feeling like it's her responsibility to take care of her younger friends, felt the need to check up on her. 

 

Though, Soojin vividly remembers always relying on Soeun despite being the oldest. 

 

She was just too young back then, she wasn't used to being the older one in a group of people. 

 

But now that she was originally from the present, the thought of Soeun being always there for her isn't in her mind anymore. 

 

Maybe she could return the favor even if it's in the past. 

 

She did remember worrying about what she'd write on the career plan, so she could feel the struggle that Soeun was currently feeling. 

 

Soojin stood up from her seat and took the seat beside Soeun, scooting closer. 

 

Just then, she feels the familiar sensation of Park Soeun sitting beside her, it's been a while since she felt that warm feeling. 

 

It has been a while since Soojin saw Soeun in the present and she's only seeing her now, where she looks much younger. 

 

Has Soeun always looked serious about everything? She looked so focused at the moment, Soojin couldn't help but get mesmerized. 

 

"Is everything ok?" 

 

Soeun released the pen that she was holding and acted as if Soojin was a threat, making the older girl jump back. "Oh, ok, ok, Alright, Sorry."

 

Soeun nodded, before picking up the pen and continued to write on her paper. 

 

Soojin was curious. 

 

Curious as to what Soeun was writing. She looked so determined, it's almost as if she's answering a test. 

 

"Ah! It's done!" 

 

"What is?" Soojin questioned once Soeun looked up from her paper. "This, it looks similar, doesn't it?" 

 

Soeun picked up both papers from the table and showed Soojin the thing that she wrote. 

 

Turns out, Soeun copied her mother's signature, which is why she looked so focused earlier. 

 

Soojin suddenly felt dumb for being too curious, though she was, indeed, impressed.

 

"Oh, they do look alike!" She exclaimed while pointing at the two papers that Soeun was holding up. 

 

Soeun was… weird and Soojin likes that about her. 

 

"Ah, Soeun-ssi!" Jaehee suddenly spoke, standing up from her seat, bringing her paper along with her before taking a seat in front of Soeun. "I'm a fan!" 

 

"Ah, really?? Thank you!" Soeun then took the paper that Jaehee was holding onto and pretended that it's an album. "What's your name?" 

 

"Oh, it's Lee Jaehee!" 

 

"What a pretty name." Soeun complimented as they both laughed. Soojin felt like she was watching a comedy show in 3D. 

 

"You have an eye for beauty." Jaehee responded as Soeun pretended to sign Jaehee's paper with a smile. 

 

Jaehee then caught Soojin's questioning eyes and she was quick to explain what was happening, "I heard her dream is to become a Kpop Idol." 

 

Soojin blinks, so that's what's going on. "Ah.. is that so?" 

 

It was ridiculously hilarious. Soojin does nothing and says nothing anymore. 

 

She then looked up at the clock and saw the time, maybe it's best if she leaves before her next class even starts. 

 

"My next class is about to start, I'll go first." 

 

Both Jaehee and Soeun looked up at her and slightly nodded, "But.. you don't have any classes until 1 in fact we all don't have any classes until 1." 

 

It was Soeun who spoke and Soojin almost forgot that she isn't in the present, she's in the past. She rarely went to class early, so doing this probably made her seem a little strange. 

 

"Ah.. I just think it's better if I get there before the bell rings." She quickly thinks of an answer, luckily it looked like the two younger girls bought it and waved at her. 

 

"I'll see you later!" 

 

"See you, unnie!" 

 

Soojin finally left… without her paper and book. Jaehee didn't seem to notice anything different but Soeun did. 

 

Soeun was still staring at the door that Soojin went out of, her mind was now getting filled with questions about Soojin's behavior for the past few days. 

 

She doesn’t think anyone has noticed except her, unless they’re just acting like they don’t notice it. Soeun looks back at Jaehee who’s carefully reading Jimin’s career plan. 

 

“Have you noticed something weird?” Soeun takes this time to ask the younger girl while pushing her paper towards Jaehee. 

 

“Something weird? About whom?” 

 

“About Soojin unnie, her behavior is different, like she suddenly changed. Even her actions are different.” Soeun pointed out while spinning the pen in her hand. 

 

Jaehee then turns her head to the side, she doesn’t quite get what Soeun is saying. She doesn’t really notice anything weird about Soojin so hearing Soeun say these things made her confused. 

 

“Are you trying to say that she’s like.. A different person now?” 

 

Soeun hums, “Not really … but, uh, kinda?” 

 

“Eh? Unnie, I don’t get you.” 

 

“What? Have you not noticed any changes with Soojin unnie lately? Like, for example, she rarely goes to class early and now she’s already going to class when we still have 30 minutes left before classes even start.” 

 

Jaehee stared at her with a frown and a slight pout, it’s as if Soeun’s speaking a different language. “..huh..I guess I’m the one going crazy here.” 

 

“I don’t think there’s something different with Soojin unnie, it’s either you’re going crazy or Soojin unnie just wants to go to class early.” 

 

Soeun hums, maybe Jaehee is right. But there is really something different with Soojin. She just knows there is. 

 

She shrugs it off for now, but she kept it in mind just in case. 

 

-------------

 

The very next day Soojin found herself in the middle of her younger friends talking about .. well, teenage love. The cliche thing. Soojin has never really given attention towards these kinds of stuff, especially now that she’s originally a college student. 

 

But since she’s back to being a high school student, she can’t really get away from teen love and maybe drama? Heck, Soojin doesn’t know. 

 

Though, it is common for high school students who are teens, to get interested in those kinds of things. She doesn’t even remember how she ended up here with Han Jihyo and Lee Jaehee talking to Jo Hyewon about this guy that quote on quote “Likes Hyewon” 

 

Soojin doesn’t know who this guy is but it doesn’t matter, this is the younger kids’ problem anyway, she’s just there to … act as a support maybe? 

 

“You said he’s fine, you should stop pushing him away all the time.” Jihyo said to the awkward Hyewon who’s sitting in an uncomfortable way, arms almost twisted together. 

 

“I know right?? Don’t take it so seriously, you might end up like my sister.” says Jaehee who’s just sitting beside Hyewon. 

 

This made Soojin think, “what the hell even happened to your sister??” She was curious, wanted to ask Jaehee about it. Soojin can be kind of nosy sometimes but she can’t really ask Jaehee right now. Not when they’re “helping” Hyewon out. 

 

Soojin isn’t an expert at this too, so, instead of acting like a matured person in this scenario, she chose to keep quiet. Just listening in on what Jaehee and Jihyo has to say. 

 

The two girls seem to know more about this than Soojin anyway. 

 

“I mean.. What do I even do?? Whenever he’s around, everything's so awkward, it doesn’t even feel right.” Was Hyewon’s reasoning. 

 

She has a point, Soojin thought. 

 

If it’s awkward being around someone then… wouldn’t that be hard because it would take a long time before they start to get comfortable around one another? That’s just what Soojin thinks. 

 

This is why she’d prefer to be with someone who she’s already friends with.. Or something like that.

 

“What do you mean?? You’re the one who’s being awkward! Look at you, you’re twisting your arms like this!” Jaehee then mimics the way Hyewon’s arms are almost twisted together. 

 

Hyewon then let out a sigh, “That’s not even all! I don’t even think he’s into me or likes me that way, you might just be talking nonsense.” She started to mumble the last part. 

 

Soojin thinks about it, was there no solid proof that he likes her? Soojin wasn’t around to know the first moments of this… or she was in the present  when this “guy likes Hyewon” thing occurred. 

 

“Ah, you must be kidding. Do you not see the way he looks at you?? His eyes turn into hearts when he sees you! How can’t you tell??” 

 

Soojin doesn’t really know what that means, how does one know if a person is looking at you with heart eyes? She has no clue. 

 

She just decided to nod along with Jihyo at the words that Jaehee said. 

 

“Hey, hey. Look at him.” Jaehee points at someone from a far and for the first time ever, Soojin is now able to see who this anonymous boy is. 

 

She turns her head at the same time that Jihyo did and they saw the guy with a basic and common black hair like any other korean boy in this campus. And as if on cue, the guy looks their way and slowly smiles. 

 

The others smiled knowing that he was smiling at Hyewon while Soojin secretly laughs because this boy … this boy is nothing special. 

 

“Look, he’s looking at you.” Jihyo whispers as Jaehee almost squeals.

 

Jihyo then gasps, “I think he’s coming this way!” she whispered while Hyewon looked like she wanted to just crawl into a hole.  

 

“Soojin unnie, say something to Hyewon.” 

 

“Uh? Me?” Soojin had her eyes wide open, shocked because she was planning on not talking the whole time. What does she even say? Does Hyewon even like this guy? She’s lacking information to preach. 

 

“Uh.. well.. I’m not- we’re not forcing you or anything but..” 

 

Jesus, I have no clue what I’m about to say to this child.

 

“Uhm.. I just don’t want you to regret this later on.” 

 

And whatever Soojin said miraculously worked, because Hyewon looked like she was thinking about it. Trying to decide if she’d listen to Soojin. In the end she did. 

 

“..Okay then, I’ll give it a try..” 

 

Soojin instantly was praying in her head that nothing bad happens because she would literally blame herself for letting Hyewon try this dating nonsense. 

 

Now that the guy has approached, he leaned against their table and smiled. “Hey, Hyewon ah.” 

 

Hyewon just stared at him in response. 

 

“Are you busy?” he asks. 

 

With this, Hyewon slowly shook her head and said, “No, not really.” 

 

The guy’s smile grew wider, “Then, can I talk to you for a moment?” 

 

With just that one sentence, both Jaehee and Jihyo acted like that was the most romantic thing that they’ve ever heard a guy say. Soojin just started to gesture for Hyewon to just go and talk to him. 

 

Hyewon ended up going with him and they sat alone at a table somewhere, even though the guy probably wanted to talk to Hyewon privately, Jihyo, Jaehee and Soojin still followed them. 

 

They peaked through a glass wall just across from where Hyewon and the guy were at. “What? What are they talking about?? Can you hear them?” Jaehee asks both Soojin and Jihyo even though none of them can hear their conversation from that distance. 

 

“I don’t know, I can’t hear them but look! She’s smiling!!” Jihyo basically fangirls over this little interaction between that guy and Hyewon. Soojin, thinking that she has nothing better to do, decided to just fangirl with them. 

 

“Look, I think things are going great between the two of them.” The two younger girls nodded at Soojin while still keeping an eye at Hyewon and the guy. 

 

It didn’t take long for the guy to stand up and leave, seems like they’re already done talking. “Wait, he’s leaving!” 

 

And it’s as if that was a signal for the three of them to be able to run towards Hyewon and interrogate her. They all sat at the same spot that the guy sat on and was quick to question Hyewon. 

 

Question after question from Jihyo. 

 

“So?? What did he say? Did he say that he likes you? Did he ask you out on a date? Ah, I’m so jealous!!” Jihyo squealed, she was just too excited over Hyewon having a guy like her. 

 

Though, to their surprise, Hyewon responded with a “..No?” 

 

That made them all stop fangirling all at once. “Eh? Then what happened?” Jaehee asked with a frown. 

 

“He said he wanted to go out-” 

 

She was immediately cut off by the girls gasping, “Then that means he likes you!!” Jihyo exclaimed as Jaehee held onto Hyewon’s hands, dreamily thinking of how Hyewon’s date will turn out. 

 

“No, he said he wanted to go out with his group and bring me along! Like a group, for a group project. He was basically asking me to join their group project.” 

 

Then, they all leaned in to know what Hyewon responded with. “And then? What did you tell him?” Jaehee asked, eyes filled with hope. 

 

“Obviously, I said no. Didn’t we already agree on doing the project together? So I obviously declined.” Hyewon simply responded and the three of them all suddenly looked so disappointed. 

 

And it didn’t go unnoticed by Hyewon, “What? He likes me? Pfft, I told you it was nonsense.” 

 

Hyewon looked more annoyed, she just wasted some time just because her older friends encouraged her and made her believe that this random dude liked her. Well, it’s not like she believed it in the first place. 

 

She let out a frustrated sigh before standing up and leaving the three girls all holding onto their napes saying things like “Ugh, what a pain.” said by Soojin and “You fool!! He clearly liked you but you rejected him!” and of course that was said by Jihyo. 

 

“Ah, you’re so frustrating Jo Hyewon!!!” Jaehee had told Hyewon a lot of things only for it to be thrown out of the window like nothing. 

 

“Whatever, he was never my type in the first place anyway!” Hyewon shouted back as she started to walk away but still, Jihyo shouted as well. “What’s your type then?! He’s clearly already perfect!” 

 

“I don’t want boys!” 

 

And that was the end of that. 

 

Hearing what Hyewon said did nothing to them at first until Soojin rewinded the words over and over in her head before letting out a soft “Oh.” 

 

Did she just… just now? Did Soojin only figure out that their baby friend is… oh. 

 

How can they be so stupid?? Soojin was taken aback, sure, but she just really didn’t expect it. Will Hyewon tell her if she asked the Hyewon she knows in the present? Or maybe it meant something else .. like Hyewon isn’t interested in love at the moment? 

 

Maybe.. Soojin will find out soon if she gets to talk t
