Chaewon is running, as fast as humanly possible, to a place only she knows where she can find her. The rushing teenager could hear someone calling her name at the back of her head as she is running past the school cafeteria. It is pretty faint but familiar enough for Chaewon to make out that the caller is her other junior friend, Kim Minju from class F-2. On other days, Chaewon would stop for a moment and turn back to greet Minju, but today she didn’t. 

Burying the sorry feeling that is creeping from the deep down in her heart up to her chest, Chaewon doesn’t stop her pace until she runs into her.

Chaewon is nearly breathless by the time she reaches the doorknob, resting her hand on the doorknob, she takes in a couple of deep breaths before getting ready to face whatever welcomes her on the other side of the door.

Hitomi giggles as she hops off the railing onto the floor, she reaches her hand out for Chaewon to hold as she helps the older girl get off the spot. 

“I’m sorry for worrying you,” Hitomi apologizes meekly, “I needed to clear off my mind before going home.”
