A new day has started for Kim Hyoyeon. After her pep talk with Minseok last night, she has decided to tell Professor Kim everything he needs to know. She hurriedly walked towards their classroom, and saw... a new Literature professor seated on the teacher's table.

Hyoyeon took her seat, and turned to look at Yuri, "Hey Yul, where's Professor Kim?"

"I don't know," Yuei answered, "That professor just came in and set up his laptop and projector. Maybe he's just going to demo something."

Hyoyeon creased her forehead. She wanted to believe Yuri, but she still feels that something was not right.

The professor stood up, "Good morning, I'm Kim Joonmyeon. And I'll be your Literature professor until the semester ends."

Whispers and mumbles were heard from the class.

Hyoyeon raised her hand, "Professor, may I ask what happened to our previous professor?"

Kim Joonmyeon answered, "Professor Kim Jongin submitted a letter stating that he is filing an indefinite leave. I will be his replacement."

The noise from the students grew louder. Everyone was surprised by Jongin's unexpected absence.

Hyoyeon gulped, "What happened to you, Professor Kim?"

In a restaurant near Yeouido Park, Soojung was patiently waiting for someone. She glanced at her watch to check the time. 9:02 a.m.

"Where could he be?" she thought to herself.

"You're too early," a voice behind her spoke.

Soojung quickly turned to look, "Jongin!" she stood up and hugged him. But he did not hug her back.
