"yah, bang yedam, where's your friend?", sieun asked. " i don't know- she was with haruto-" "haruto? where is he?" the school had ended, the students were leaving.
sieun said, "i should've taken her along, she came to comfort me and-" "it's okay sieun, you weren't in your best mood-" "could you call your brother please?" yoshi nodded and called haruto. "ruto, where are you?" "um what's wrong?" "is sua with you?" "no, why?" "nothing, nevermind" "hyung tell me-" call ended.
sieun sighed and said, "i'm so tired of this girl" "it's not her fault-" "i'm going home, yoshi" "but-" "to be honest, she is a grown up, she will come back on her own" yoshi nodded hesitantly, still worried.

sieun had a long talk about her result with her father, which ended with a "don't worry, you've done good. i know you'll do better next time!", sieun was relieved, they all assumed sua and haruto were hanging out together since none of them was back home.
where was sua? well, she wasn't hurt or sad this time. she was probably having one of the best moments in her life. she bunked rest of the school, for the first time in her life. she went to the places she always wanted to go to but was too busy or alone to go to.
she took a bus for the first time in her life, she didn't know how to pay, everyone chuckled when they saw her inserting paper cash in the machine. she was confused, the conductor helped her and she got a new bus card! she went to the famous couple garden, but regretted it.
she stopped by to eat hotdogs, was it her first time having street food? yes. she took out her checklist and marked on the column. her smile was so precious at the moment, if only someone could capture it.
she got up and cleaned her mouth, "i'm such an independent woman", she said and flipped her hair. just as she did so, she tripped and fell over the footpath, she got up by herself and lifted up her skirt a little to see a cut on her knee. she sighed, "i wasn't serious! god, why do you have to punish me?"
she looked around and spotted a pharmacy, she started calculating, "what if i miss something because of a bandage? i'll just go without it", she sat and thought about it when a kid came running towards her with a bandage in her hand. sua pouted sadly, "really? god, you're great". the little girl smiled and said, "you should watch your walk miss! here i have an extra one!" sua chuckled as she was embarrassed and bowed down to thank the girl. the little girl waved a bye and went away, probably to where her mother was.
sua walked, actually, hopped to the book fair. might sound boring to some, but it was one of her dreams to bring her favorite books from a book fair, unlike how she always ordered it online.
