05|| Meeting Sunghoon

«LIA's POV»

I just took a sit beside Eli when Ms. Jina entered and gave us flower seeds to plant in the school's nursery.

"I'll plant these sunflower seeds. You can take these poppy seeds" Eli ordered and handed it to me.

The males starts to work on the soil for easier planting later.

"Hey Lia. Did something happened? What's with the pokerface the whole time? Look, I'm sorry about earlier. I was just too excited to meet you. I didn't knew you were fixing your hair" Eli apologized in the middle of waiting for the boys to finish up.

"It's not about that Eli, I told you. It's just that---"

"Lia" I was cut off when someone called me again. I tilted my head and saw the man behind the trees.

"It's just that?" Eli asked. I have no time to speak, he is leaving.

"Excuse me. Call me when they're done. I'll be back!" I excused and ran in the woods.

"H-hey! Come back quickly!" Eli yelled as I continue to follow that man.

He was so fast that I can't clearly see where he's going. My legs gave up so I tried to stop and catch my breath.

After calming, the surrounding was filled with silence. The man is also out of my sight but I can feel his presence around.

I started to roam around the trees and was surprised when he suddenly appeared behind a tree.

My body was froze up again when our eyes met. How come he is still wearing the same clothes.

"I.... I just want to return something" he finally said with his calming voice.

"R-return w-what?" I stuttered.

"You may not remember me but---"

"What do you mean? I remember you last night. And you said I met you at the morgue and that's what keeps on shaking my knees right now!" I cut off and scolded him at the same time. His eyes twitched with his eyebrow raised up "you... you remember me?" he softly asked.

What does he mean?

"Why shouldn't I? We just met" I replied.

He looked away and sighed.

"By the way, you told me you'll return something. What is it?"

He took out something from his pocket and handed it to me. My eyes started to tear up. It's my phone.

Lia took it back and started to cry loud. The man's eyes widened due to her actions.

"W-why... I-is something w-wrong?" He asked and started to check on her.

"You don't know how much I tried to think of an excuse on what should I tell my dad if ever I got framed on Soo Hyun's death" Lia tearfully said.

The man didn't say a word and watch her cry.

After calming down, they both walked into the wood in order to return in the school campus.

"W-well.... I was so embarrassed about earlier. Anyways,thank you. I owe you one and by the way, why are you here in the woods?Don't you attend school? Don't you have a house? A family or friends?" Lia continuously asked.

He blocked Lia's way and looked at her "Go down straight in this way and you'll find where you came from. I don't know those things because I am not from here whether you believe me or not. I have a family but they're not here" he coldly replied.

Lia was so confused in his words. He looked at him from head to toe. The laboratory coat he's wearing has been filled with dirt and he's barefooted. His hair is filled with fallen leaves.

Lia bit her lips and sighed. "My dad would be out of town this week. I'll invite you to our house so I hope to meet you this afternoon" Lia offered.

"This w-what?" he asked and raised his eyebrow.

Lia looked into his eyes and saw a great confusion.

"How can you not know time? How do I say it? Do you know the sunset?" Lia asked.

He blankly nodded. Lia smiled "okay. Can you meet me here once you see the sunset?"

"Why would I?"

"I want to thank you for returning my phone."

The man lowered his gaze. "Alright. I'll wait for you in here" he agreed.

A big wide smile was shown in Lia's face. "Then I'll get going."

She was about to leave when she remembered something.

"Wait! C-can I....." Lia paused. "I really want to know your name but I guess I could cross the line since I just met you" Lia said in her thoughts that stopped her. "Oh sorry. It's nothing. I'll get going" Lia denied and turned her back.

"Sunghoon!" The man said from nowhere. Lia froze....

She slowly turned around and locked her eyes with him but he kept a pokerface.

"Sunghoon is my name" he coldly said. Lia looked away and forced a smile.

"I-is that so? Your name i-is pretty u-unique" Lia cheered.

"You should go. I'll be waiting for you" Sunghoon ordered that brought Lia back in her senses.

She smiled and waved her hands goodbye at him as she take her way down the hill. Sunghoon blankly watched her until she's gone in his vision.

"Lia!" Eli happily called as soon as she saw her friend.

"Where have you been?" She added.

"Nothing. I just roamed around the woods" Lia excused.

"Anyway, are you finished planting?"

Eli looked into her eyes "looks like you've done something. But forget it, let's just go. We just got started as well."

Lia blankly stared at the ground as Eli drag her.
