Myung Soo stops Sung Yeol on his track. "This is probably just a coincidence. I don't think the guy Krystal's parents chose would be him."   "Why?"   "Because I know that Krystal's fiance is older than her!"   "Older? By how many... months?"   "I'm quite certain it would be 'years'. At least, two years older."   "So, she told you already about him?"   "A little bit."   "And she said he is older by a few years?" Sung Yeol is still not convinced.   "Uh... She didn't tell me that," he trails off, earning a sceptical look from Sung Yeol, "but knowing Krystal's parents, they would choose someone more mature and more financial stable than me."   "Ah, makes sense. Well, if it was my kid, I would do the same too."   Myung Soo punches him in the arm causing him to yell in pain. "Whose side are you on?"   "No one!"   ---   "This is such a hassle. I'm really sorry to get you into this."   "No, no, no, it's fine," Krystal's brow furrows in disagreement as she continues, "It's all organised by our parents, you don't have to apologise. I'll see you at the front gate. I just need to see Mr Choi about the Athletic Carnival in June."   She hears Se Hun sighing, "Okay. I'll be in a black Cadillac- Uh- do you know what a Cadillac look like?"   Krystal chuckles, "Yes, I do. Jae has that car. I'll see you in a bit."   When Krystal puts her phone into her pocket, Ji Young gives her a teasing look. "Going out for dinner with the fiance aye." She winks.   Krystal rolls her eyes. "More like with the in-laws," she retorts sardonically. "We didn't even talk much in front of our parents on Saturday. They did most of the talking. It was comforting, really. I feel like I'm stealing someone else's  man."   Ji Young snickers. "Well, have fun at the dinner. I have a piano lesson at five. Call me if you need to vent out and Jess isn't available to listen."   Krystal bids her goodbye and leans on the wall as she waits for Mr Choi to finish on the phone. The corridor is deserted already; no suprise, it is already 16:27 on her phone. She stares at the cobweb at the corner of the ceiling and crosses her arms as her ears catch the voice of Mr Choi.   "Yes, Yul, I'll get these before I get home. Ok, see you soon. I love you!" Krystal could just picture the smitten grin in her head just by listening to his tone. She smiles wistfully, suddenly feeling melancholic.   Mr Choi and his wife have just had their first baby this year and wherever he goes nowadays, his path is paved with flowers and rainbow.   At least, some people got married because they love each other.   Despite thinking that, she suddenly realises that she never really see or imagine herself with Myung Soo in a family environment. Not that she never wanted to be with him in the future, it's just because that vision is too far away from the state of life she is now. She still has the big exam next year to do to pass high school and she still has a lot of things she wants to do, like going to America to further her studies in Sports Physiotherapy or becoming a pro-athlete. Now that the idea of marriage is thrown at her, she begins to think about marriage life more than ever before; with a no-faced man.   "Sorry, Krystal," Mr Choi's voice takes Krystal out of her reverie. He hands Krystal a piece of paper, "Here is the list of all the sports we'll be holding a match for at the carnival. Try get as many people from our House as much as possible, preferrably from your Athletic club!"   "Sure," she puts the piece of paper in her folder, "I'll see you tomorrow, Sir!"   As she makes her way out of the school, her mind is taken back to the text Sung Yeol sent her at lunch.   From: Sung Yeol Time: 12:55   Hey, Krys, Myung asked whether you're going straight home after class?   It was such a weird question and considering Myung Soo's bold statement this morning, she became increasingly annoyed with his persistence. She replied a 'yes and not planning on going anywhere tonight' just in case he is thinking of asking her out - at the time, she still had not read Jessica's whatsapp about the dinner plan. She huffs as she fixes her bag strap on her shoulder. She doesn't fail to notice that he is trying to do what she did two years ago and deep down in her heart, she is quite touched that he still remembers their very first moments. But no, she cannot waver now. Everything happens for a reason. If he is meant to be hers, he will come back to her.   Then, as if fate is mocking her, Myung Soo appears from the corner, sending her into surprise.   "Kim Myung Soo, what the hell are you doing?!"   Myung Soo simpered defiantly, ignoring the anger radiating from her yell and glare. "Can we talk?"   Krystal sighs heavily, "You're making this really hard on me. I'm trying to move on-"   "I don't want you to move on!" he interjects, she sees his fists clenching in aggravation. "I want you to come back to me. I want us to go back to how we were. I want us to just forget this all and pretend this is all a nightmare!"   His words tug her heart. Her eyes warm. She bites on her lips to prevent herself from crying. "I want that more than anyone else in this world, Myung Soo," she whispers. "I want my parents to be happy. I have made this decision, Myung Soo. Please just forget about me. You'll someone better, someone who'd hold on to you no matter what happens."   "You want them to be happy, but what about you?" His penetrating stare does not leave her, making her discomfort to increase.   "I'll find my happiness on the way." With the said words, optimism infiltrates her. Maybe this won't be so bad, maybe it'll work out for her in the end, maybe she will find a way to be happy in some way or other.   She doesn't know how long they've stood there, or how long they have stared at each other. The clock keeps ticking, the hot summer air keeps breezing past them. It must have been a long time because Se Hun has gone on his way to find her.   "Krystal." When her name is called, she and Myung Soo turns to the owner of the voice. Krystal immediately goes rigid.   Oh God, he is not planning to spill it now, is he?   "Uh, sorry for interrupting." He seems genuinely apologetic as he continues, "But Mr Shim wants to see you about the Chemistry assignment."   Inside, Krystal exhales in relief, however, she becomes concern with what Se Hun actually says. Chemistry Assignment? The last one was a month ago and I haven't even chosen a partner for the new one. In a matter of seconds, Krystal decides it doesn't matter as now she has an excuse to avoid Myung Soo.   "Is he still in his office?"   "Yes, I was just with him ten minutes ago. He said if I happen to see a couple of people on his list, I should tell them that he wants to see them. And," he grins nervously, "you happen to be on the list."   Now, this is when Krystal grasps the story behind Se Hun's story. No, he isn't going to betray her. Good.   "Okay. I'll go see him now."   With that, Krystal leaves the scene and makes her way to 'Mr Shim's office'. Se Hun immediately turns around to leave Myung Soo when the latter calls him back.   "You're not going with her?"   Se Hun notices the way Myung Soo studies him is a bit odd, but dismisses it as he simply replies, "No, I've seen him already."   ---   "Thank you for helping me back there."   "Anytime."   Silence fills in the space of the vehicle. The two teenagers look out their window and watch as the road, houses, parks, buildings, and p
