"Hey Mean, I heard the orchestra club is looking for new members. Right? Or just gossip?"
The girl named Mean, shrugged her shoulders. "How would I know. I'm a member of the acting club, not an orchestra, PIM." Say Mean. "You just ask Baibua. She's a member of the club' orchestra,"
The sweet girl named Pim patted her forehead. She forgot that one of her classmates was a member of the club' orchestra. "I'll just ask her later."
"But Pim, what wind do you ask? You want to join the club' orchestra? Can you play music?" Mean asked.
Pim shook her head. "No. Because there is Kim!"
Mean patted her forehead. "Just because there's Kim? That expressionless man Kim? Oh my gosh Pim!!!"
Pim chuckled. "You know, I've liked Kim since semester 1-"
"Yes yes I remember, and you were always chasing him but Kim always ignored you." Say Mean with a chuckle.
"Kim ignored me don't you remember Mean! Do you think I should ask Baibua for help?" Pim asked.
"Just try- eh Baibua and Kim aren't lovers?” asked Mean.
"Don't make it up Mean. They're just friends."
"How do you know? Judging from their closeness, everyone could already guess that they were a couple. So far you haven't noticed, Baibua is the only woman close to Kim. Maybe you could say the only woman Kim talks to besides his mother." Mean said, breaking Pim's spirit.
"If they are really dating. Then how is my heart, Mean?" whined Pim. "Take your words back Mean!"
Mean chuckled at her friend's reaction. "Okay fine.... I take back what I said. Satisfied!" Pim smiled widely and nodded.

° Canteen
"Nong Kim? Why are you here? Your club's looking for new members, right? You didn't participate in the selection?" Rain was surprised to find his brother in the canteen.
"A Kim will never participate in the selection, Phi. Phi just doesn't know the character of your brother?"
Instead of Kim, Baibua answered Rain's question. The girl appeared carrying food for Kim and for herself. "Sorry Phi, I thought Phi didn't go to the cafeteria. So I just ordered for me and Kim."
"It does not matter. Phi will order herself."
"Oh yeah Nong Bai, how many members does the club' orchestra have? Isn't it all filled?" Asked Rain.
Baibua chewed his food quickly and then swallowed it before answering Rain's question. "Mr. Wannasing said, there are only 1 or 2 slots left. So why? Phi knows someone who is good at playing music?"
Rain looked doubtful shaking his head. "Y-no," replied Rain, Baibua nodded and continued eating. Rain breathed a sigh of relief that Baibua didn't suspect him.
Rain looked at his younger brother who was eating his meal while reading a book he could be sure was a book about music.
Rain rested his chin, then took a deep breath.
The plan failed. Failed miserably.
'aissss, even though I already imagined them meeting each other-'
