'Where the heck is Kibum?! He's gonna be late!' thought Leeteuk and looked out the window of his classroom.

He saw two little figures running hand in hand toward school.

He smiled as he recognized one of them as Kibum.

'Did he succeed already?' He wondered when he saw that Nari was the other figure.

*~*~*~*~*

Donghae impatiently tapped his fingers on the desk. He kept glancing over at the classroom door then the clock over and over again.

"What's wrong with Donghae?" asked Eli to Yesung.

Yesung shrugged and carefully examined Donghae's behavior.

"It's probably because Nari's still not here yet." guessed Hankyung.

"Where is she anyways?" asked Sungmin.

Everybody shrugged.

Donghae sighed and looked out the window.

His hands clenched into fists and angrily banged the desk with them.

Everyone jumped, startled by the sudden sound.

Donghae had seen Kibum holding Nari's hand.

*~*~*~*~*

Right before the last minute bell could ring, Nari huffed and puffed into the classroom.

"Hey, why are you almost late?" asked Eli.

"I slept in." Nari, who was still catching her breath, managed to say.

"Well, glad you made it in time." grinned Kyuhyun.

"You know, Kyuhyun seems really happy today." whispered Sungmin to Hankyung.

"Yeah, I know, right? Something's suspicious~" whispered Hankyung back.

Yesung sneaked up from behind between the two and smacked the back of their heads at the same time.

"Ow! What was that for?!" cried out Sungmin.

"What are you two talking about?" asked Yesung.

"You don't need to know." smirked Hankyung.

"Whatever." shrugged Yesung then suddenly shouted, "Look! A butterfly!"

"Where?! Where?!" cried Hankyung, looking around frantically.

Yesung started to roll on the ground, laughing.

Hankyung glared at him as Eli and Nari giggled.

"The teacher's pretty late today... I wonder why..." commented Kyuhyun.

"Who cares?" said Sungmin.

Nari walked to her seat and sat down.

She noticed that Donghae kept staring icily at the front of the room.

"Donghae, what's wrong?" she asked with concerned eyes.

"Why are you late?" he countered coldly.

"I slept in. I'm sorry, did I worry you?" said Nari.

"No, I wasn't worried about you at all." replied Donghae with no expression.

Those words stabbed Nari in the heart.

'Why does my heart hurt so much just because he said that?' wondered Nari as she held onto the pain in her chest.

"Nari, you okay?" asked Eli, seeing her pained expression.

"Yeah, yeah. I'm fine." replied Nari and tried to smile, ignoring the growing hurt inside.
