Weeks had passed after the 'experience' with Niel.   It was awkward a few days after, but we finally got over the situation during Photography.   Yeah, I kind of almost got into trouble with Nana but..   To tell you the truth, I somewhat liked the feeling.   NOT of kissing Niel -okay, partly- but after that, we tried to be as per normal but Niel was kind of being more sensitive with me around.   It felt.. like someone truly cares about me.   I walked through the school gates and noticed a crowd of all ages that had gathered at the school noticeboard.   Curiosity got the better of me as I started making my way through the crowd.   I was still pushing through them when Minzy saw me.   "Unnie! You should be in this! You can win this one for sure! I'll be your supporter!"   I gave her a smile as the crowd grew smaller.   'Couples' Race!'   The title was written in bold.   As I read the description, a thought came in mind.   The first thing I did after reading the notice was to hop(of course, I'm still on crutches) towards Junyoung's class.   It took me awhile but I managed to get myself to his class.   I saw him reading his manga at his seat.   "Junyoung Oppa!" I shouted as I waved him to come out.   "What is it? I was just about to get to the best part of the manga~!" He whined but still held on to listen to me.   "Did you hear about the race?" I asked.   "Yeah, what about it? Oh wait.. No~ Why me?"   "Well, you don't expect me to pair up with that dufus of a brother of mine, do you?"   He raised an eyebrow as he tilted his head into the class and looked at Heechul.   Heechul, then, was burying his head on his desk as he had his Music Player at the loudest volume.   "Touche. But only if I get at least half the winning prize." He smirked.   "Uhh, whatever. As long as you're in it~!" I waved him goodbye as I hopped back to my class.   ---   As soon as school was finished, I rushed out of the school compounds and made my way to the hospital.   I quickly made an appointment with my previous doctor.   After waiting for almost ten minutes, I was finally making my way into the doctor's office.   Without greeting the doctor, I sat down and started talking.   "Doc, can you take the cast off today?"   "Wae? You're only left with a few days. Why today?" He asked.   "Please, doc. I've already recovered. I swear, nothing would go wrong even if I take it off today." I begged the doctor.   He stared at me continuously before hanging his head low.   "Fine, (_____)-sshi. But please, try to restrain yourself from doing things that would make you sweat. As we had stitched your left leg, we do not know if the sweat may cause a negative reaction with your injury. Please do remember to take care of yourself." He gave in before he asked his nurse to bring me to another room to take the cast off.   I thanked him and the nurse once again before heading out of the hospital with my 'recovered' leg.   --- "(_____)-sshi, hwaiting!" My team(The Mean Machine) cheered on.   I hadn't expect any of them to turn up.   I mean, this was not really as special as our expedition's race.   I gave them a wave before turning back to Junyoung and discussing with him about what might happen.   No, it was not his first time to enter these races, but it was our first time teaming u
