*Summer ended already and it’s a start of a new school year.* I thought as I went downstairs to greet L.joe but, he wasn’t there anymore. He left early? I thought sadly as I walked towards school.

How could he just leave me behind like that? 2 months has passed already ever since he woke up, but he’s still very cold towards me. We never had a proper conversation. And it’s like he hates me even though I didn’t do anything to him. Just when will the old L.joe be back?

…

I stood on my toes to see in which class I belong. But there too many students blocking the way. *I can’t even see the board!* I thought as I gave up and pouted. I’ll just wait here until they leave.

“Don’t worry. We’re classmates.” A voice mumbled in my ear.

I looked back and saw Myungsoo. His hands were inside his pockets and he gave me a small smile. “We are?” I asked.

He nodded with a smirk. “Let’s go to class.” He said as he grabbed my bag from me and walked away.

*I haven’t seen L.joe’s name on the list yet!* I thought as I tried to have a peek on the board. But Myungsoo dragged me away with him.

While we we’re walking towards our classroom,

“How’s he?” Myungsoo suddenly asked without looking at me.

“Huh?” I asked. *Who is he talking about?*

He turned to me with an annoyed face. “It’s L.joe I’m referring to.”

My mouth curved into an ‘o’ as I nodded. “You should be more specific. Well, he’s fine.” I answered shortly.

He gave me a look. *I hate saying his name.* Myungsoo thought as he sighed.

I instantly threw my hands up. “What did I do wrong? You’re so snappy today.” I commented with a small pout.

“Did he remember anything yet?” He asked.

“I don’t know. Uhm.. Let’s go to class now.” I said completely changing the topic. I don’t want to start the day thinking about him and only him.

“Are you excited for class?” He asked.

I nodded happily.

“Well.. L.joe’s name is not on our list.” He suddenly said.

I turned to him with a worried look on my face. *We’re not on the same class anymore?*

“He’s not our classmate.” Myungsoo finally said.

My shoulders deflated as I sighed. *He must’ve done something about this since he hates me.*

“MAERIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII~!” I heard a loud scream.

I looked back and saw Sulli running towards me with her arms opened widely. The moment she reached me, she hugged me tightly. “I missed you! I missed you so much!” She said as she rubbed her face with mines. *She’s still the same old Sulli I know.* I thought with a smile.

I saw Ricky also walking towards me. “It’s nice to see you again Noona.” He greeted with a shy smile.

Before I could reply to Ricky, I saw Teen Top coming our way.

“Hyungs!” Ricky greeted happily as he waved at them. All of them turned to him and greeted him back.

C.A.P. was the first one to notice me. “Maeri-ah!” He greeted as he hi-fived me with a smile.

I smiled back at him as I bumped my hand on his.

“Oh! Noona! Annyeong!” Changjo said happily as he waved.

Chunji shoved Changjo out of my way. “Noona! I missed you!” Changjo glared at him. But before he could do anything, Niel already popped in front of me. “I was the one who missed Noona the most.” He said with a smile. I couldn’t help but laugh at their silliness. They didn’t change. I wish L.joe didn’t change too. I thought as I saw L.joe who was trailing behind them.

Ricky waved at him “Hyung! Maeri-noona was---“

“We’ll be late. Let’s go.” He said coldly as he walked away without even looking at me.

The members of Teen Top warily exchanged gazes. They don’t know what to say to me to cover up for L.joe. “You say something!” Changjo hissed at Niel as he nudged his shoulder. “What do I say?” Niel hissed back.

Finally, C.A.P. stepped in. “We.. have an urgent meeting today. You know.. just like before. We’re in a hurry. We gotta go. Bye Maeri!” He said as he signaled them that they should leave.

“We have a meeting? That’s on thurs---“ Changjo quickly covered Ricky’s mouth.

“Yeah! We have a meeting! Bye Noona!” Niel said as he walked away while dragging Ricky away with Changjo.

“No! I still have to take Sulli to her room! Sulli-ah!” Ricky wailed. Sulli just waved at him with a small smile.

“Bye Noona!” Chunji waved as he left with them.

I just nodded and waved back at them with a small forced smile.
