- Chapter 1 - 

The clock strikes 10am.

Walking alone in the school compound, Taeyeon makes her way to the locker to prepare for her next lesson. As usual, people open up their way for her. It's a norm scene for Taeyeon. There wasn't once she gets blocked by the crowd since everyone just automatically walk away from her, like she has some sort of diseases or something.

Taeyeon ignored as usual, and walked on.

The only plead that Master Kim has, was to allow her daughter to continue her studies in the prestige school of Royce. And the commitee agreed to it.

Taking in a few deep breaths, making sure her heart beat now pace normally, Taeyeon slowly make her way to the restroom to wash her face.

Looking into mirror, Taeyeon's brows knitted.

"What's wrong with me?" she thought again. It has been like this for the past few weeks, her left chest kept giving her the same problem. Was it due to change in climate? Or was it something wrong with
