Side Story 1: JoHara

Jonghyun went back to WW200 and saw Hara there.

“You didn’t go home?”asked Jonghyun

“I wanted to get a book to read.” Said Hara “I need to be distracted.”

“I need distraction too.” Said Jonghyun

“With Minho’s return…and Yuri here…It’s going to be chaotic.” Said Hara while looking for a book in the cabinet.

“I don’t think Minho is doing it right.” Said Jonghyun “Suzy is hurt for the 2nd time by the same strategy. Although Yuri was not here 2 years ago, Minho’s announcement that he has a fiancee broke Suzy’s heart…and now, he did it again.”

“And now it’s not just Suzy…” said Hara

Jongyun stopped at that…Hara…she knows about Sulli’s feelings for Minho too?

Hara felt Jonghyun’s silence and looked at him.

“Don’t’ look so surprised.” Said Hara “I have my ways of knowing what’s happening.”

“When did you learn?” asked Jonghyun

“Just recently…so what do you plan to do?” asked Hara

“I can’t bear seeing her in pain… That’s why… I will follow what she wants.” Said Jonghyun

“What if she wants to fight for her feelings? What if it breaks WW club? How much can you sacrifice for her?” asked Hara

“We’ve been through this and we know how hard this could get. I don’t want her to end up like Suzy… So I’m going to support her whatever she wants to happen.” Said Jonghyun

Hara just smiled. It’s not the usual childish smile but just… a normal smile. It’s the first time Jonghyun saw that…After all the years they’ve known each other, Jonghyun did not know Hara can smile like that.

“Then I’m going to support you.” Said Hara “No matter what.”

That made Jonghyun blank out. Why is Hara being like this? Why is she suddenly like this? He can’t pinpoint what changed…But something changed in her.

“There!” said Hara when she found the book she’s looking for. “Hmm…It’s thicker than I thought.  I would probably need a few nights to finish this.” Said Hara

Hara put the book inside one of her bag.

“You’re leaving?” asked Jonghyun

“Yes.” Said Hara

Jonghyun noticed Hara left the other bag.

“You’re not bringing everything?” asked Jonghyun

“Umm…Nope, I’m not going home yet. I’ll just get my bag later once I am back.” Said Hara

Jonghyun looked at his watch. 9PM?!

“It’s 9PM.” Said Jonghyun “Where else are you going?”

“Umm…I just don’t feel like going home yet. See you tomorrow!” said Hara.

Hara walked out of WW200 leaving Jonghyun inside alone.

9PM?! Not going home yet?!

Jonghyun followed Hara but she’s no longer on the same floor. He immediately went down and looked for Hara outside the Arts Building.

Where is she?!

Jonghyun tried to run around the school but did not find Hara. He’s worried. That woman knows nothing about the world! If she’s walking alone this late, she would definitely be in danger. She has no sense of self defense!

Jonghyun tried to call Hara but she did not pick up. Jonghyun went back to WW200 and still no Hara. He saw Hara’s phone by her other bag

“She said she’ll be back…”
