The ride to SM high, which she found out from Suho’s school crest, was rather awkward due to the language barrier between the two. He would try to talk to her in his broken English and Korean while Soyou kept to her face and just nodded her head to the stuff that she understood. However upon reaching the school, Soyou’s jaw dropped.

  The school compound was humongous, with a huge water fountain at the drive-in. Students were milling around, some relaxing in the nearby garden while others were just standing and chatting. But once the car stopped and they stepped out of the car, the whole school seemed to have turned their eyes on them.

There were muddied sport shoes, almost worn out sneakers, bright red pumps, cute little kitten heels and almost all kinds of shoes you could think of. She carefully treaded through the maze of shoes to get to the living room that was pretty small but cosy enough, with a TV, a small wooden coffee table, a furry rug and a couch that had a bundle of woollen blankets sitting on it. There was also a microwave and an electronic kettle sitting at the corn
