8:10 a.m. Hyoyeon was on her way to Literature class. Her eyes were still swollen from crying last night, but she had no choice but to continue attending classes. The hallways were full of students and professors, each having their own businesses. And no one knew how much pain Hyoyeon was carrying.

"Hyoyeon!"

Hyoyeon quickly turned to look behind her and saw Kwon Yuri running towards her.

"Hi Yuri."

"Hyoyeon," Yuri called out as she approached her friend, "What--What happened to you?"

Hyoyeon shook her head, and then smiled, "I'm okay, Yul. Don't worry."

Yuri creased her forehead, "Hyoyeon, stop hiding things from me."

Hyoyeon sighed. She knew she has disappointed her bestfriend just because of Jongin, and guilt was already eating her up. She didn't want Yuri to worry too much about her. She smiled, and held Yuri's hand, "I'm perfectly fine. We should go to class now," Hyoyeon said as she pulled Yuri close to her.

Yuri felt weird. She knew that Hyoyeon didn't want to tell her something, and she wanted to find out what it was.

"Professor Kim, I just want to know why you filed a resignation letter so suddenly?" Mr. Lee asked, as he read the letter Jongin submitted to him.

"I need to focus with our business, sir," Jongin answered.

Mr. Lee sighed, "You'd be a great loss to our university."

Jongin smiled, but he didn't speak anymore. He wrote the letter against his will. He did it to stay away from Hyoyeon. He felt like it was the best thing to do to help Hyoyeon move on.

"Okay, Professor Kim, you may leave," Mr. Lee spoke, "But always remember that you're always welcome to come back. We are not closing our doors for you."

"Thank you," Jongin bowed, before he grabbed his bag to leave.
