“Look at that!” Minho pointed at the many trees to their left. “It’s like a hidden park or something.”

“Hey, let’s look around!” Changmin suggested; his bike coming to a stop as he parked it by the curb.

                The rest of the boys easily followed suit, leaving their bikes to run around amongst the tears. Well, everyone did, except for Kyuhyun. He stayed on his bike, smiling goofily at how his friends made fools out of themselves. They were embarrassing but it’s not like anyone cared, right? Besides, they were all having fun and as snarky as may be most of the time, his friends mattered a whole lot to him.

                Sighing, he looked around to see the area; his eyes falling on the intimidating house across the street. It was grand alright, with its high, metal gates, well-manicured garden and cobbled paths. It was a mansion to be honest. But as grand and intimidating as it looked, the house still looked lonely to him. Kyuhyun wondered why. The sun glared down at him and he used his hand to shield his eyes as his gaze drifted upwards; his eyes freezing on a window in the second floor.

There was a girl.

                She seemed like she was around his age, maybe younger. Seated on the windowsill, her chocolate brown hair cascaded past her shoulders. She looked pale to him, like she hadn’t been out much. Engrossed in the book she was apparently reading, she pulled her pink knit sweater tighter around her frame unconsciously it seemed. Who was she? Kyuhyun didn’t know. He’d never seen her around before.

“Kyu!” Changmin yelled. Kyuhyun blinked and realized his friends were already with their bikes a couple of meters ahead of him. “What are you waiting for? Let’s go!”

“Yeah.” With one last look at the girl by the window, he went off.

It wasn’t the last time he went there.

It wasn’t the last time he saw her.
