Ga Eul's pov
"Okay ladies and gentlemen, you may now get your luggage. Have a nice trip, or if you live in London, welcome home. Thank you for flying with British Airways."
I get up from my long flight and stretch. I have a long day to go since it's 9 in the morning here. "Aigoo, my bones are going to spilt." I mumble to myself. My apartment wasn't really that bad. At least it was something to live in. It didn't take long for me to unpack. I sigh and plop down. It's 1:00 in the afternoon in Seoul... Aish, stop getting your mind into that! Time for me to eat~
Surprisingly, there were some Korean eateries here. I tried my best to say in English to have a water since the restaurant was run by Caucasian people. Thank goodness they still understood me. After my meal, I went out and completely changed my look, again. I decided to dye my hair dark red, but keeping my natural black at the end tips. I threw out most of my old clothes. I bought like... 10 pairs of jeans? Heheh... But I bought more tops. I was exhausted from this day. I wonder how I'll survive. But no, tomorrow is my first day in this new university.

Baekhyun's pov
Xiumin, Sehun, Chanyeol, Chen, Suho and I all sat my my apartment, gloomy, especially Suho, who had tears in his eyes. "I.... I can't..." He sniffles and says
"Pff, you think you're the only one miserable? Us too you idiot. And Baek hyung the most." Sehun snaps
"W...why would she..." Chen whispers
"She was like my little sister." Xiumin says after being the quietest here.
"We should've killed Kimi. Why did we let her live?" Chanyeol growls
I slam my hands and leave. I jump on my bed and bury my face into my pillow to muffle a yell and a series of curses afterwards. "Why..."
A knock on my door, and Suho pops his head in. "We're going now. Feel better Baek."
"Mmm." I mutter in my pillow.
I hear the door close. After 6 long good hours of mourning, crying, yelling, cursing, and throwing things around, I let things go. I went out to go shopping for food. I hope eventually I'll forget about Ga Eul.

7.5 Years later

Ga Eul's pov
"Yo! Let's go!!! Time to put on that grad hat and get your butt on stage!" Mina bursts through my door. "What. The. HELL?!?! You freaking piece of turd, I was sleeping! And, the ceremony doesn't start until 1:00 pm!"
"Still, I want to do stuff until that time." she pouts.
"Then go with Kyungsoo."
I can sense her blushing at his name. Yes, we managed to meet up, again. I contacted him a week later I first settled into London. He came and we became besties, along with Mina. I could tell she liked him and he liked her. They were so cute together. "I-I can't." she says.
I sit up, "Why? Shy?"
She punches my arm, "Shut up! I don't like him."
I raise my eyebrows, "Rrrreeeaaalllyy????"
She brings her knees up to her chest. "Fine. I like him"
"Asa! I knew it! I'm calling him!"
Before she could knock out my phone from my hand, he picks it up. "Hey, Ga Eul, what's up?"
"I'm having an allergic reaction to flowers right now. Mina wants to go out so, can you go with her instead?"
Pause. "Sure."
" 'Kay! Thanks Kyunggie!"
Mina glares at me, but then smiles widely. "Thank you unnnniiiieeee!!!!" She squeals.
I pry her arms off. "Go get dressed you doofus."
She jumps and runs out of my apartment. I sigh and get up from my bed. I finished my medical degree and I'm now applied into Mina's mom's friend's practice. I have 2 hours to kill so I pull off an old book from 7 years ago. "wow... I still kept this?"
Out flies a picture of me and.... no.
Baekhyun.
I bend down to pick it up and throw it away but something stopped me. It was my regret. My heart clenches and I fall to the ground. I didn't realize until now, 7 and a half years later, how much I miss him. "B-Baekhyun." I whisper. Me saying his name feels so ancient. I shake my head and shove it back under my sofa, hoping I'll never find it again. Bad memories. I fix myself some fruit and then go to get myself ready for the ceremony. My mom sent me a nice black dress but I decided not to wear it since it made me think of Seoul. Ugh, i'm such a cold hearted person. I went out and gor a mint green coloured dress thast went below my calves. I grabbed my hat before heading out to the university. I instanly saw Kyungsoo and Mina at the seats. ''Finally she came! I thought you weren't coming!'' He says. I roll my eyes, ''No... How can I not when I need to prepare my speech for the top student?''
Mina and Kyungsoo nod their heads, ''Ah... I see..''
I scoff and sit down. ''Ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for coming here today for our graduates here in London. I first want to start off by thanking everybody for spending and choosing this university for your future. And now, i would like to hand out the awards for excellent students. There was only one student who succeeded through all stuggles. Her name is Miss Ga Eul Choi. Please come up here and recieve your diploma and certificate.''
Mina pushes me, ''Go you idiot!'' She says in english.
I nervously walk up. ''U-uh.. Hello. Um... I'm Ga Eul Choi. Thank you for reconising me as your top student. I'm very honored to recieve this certificate. I first came to London, not knowing any English or the lifestyle here. After years went by, I managed to get back on my educational feet. I'll be practising my doctor skills at my friend's mom's friend's medical clinic and then form there i'll be opening my own med. clinic. Thank you.'' I say in perfect English. I bow and leave the stage. ''Miss Ga Eul Choi has many degrees in maths, sciences and english. We hope to still she her excel throughout her doctor life.''
They went through the long list of names. Then it was over, just like that. ''Wah~ i'm hungry... I wanna eat.'' Mina whines
''I'll cook.'' Kyungsoo says imediatley. I laugh ast these two. ''You guys go. I have somewhere to be.''
''Oooh, you have a boyfriend?'' Mina teases
My heart squeezes. ''Uh...''
Kyungsoo nudges her. ''Oh! I'm so sorry unnie.... Oh god, I didn't mean to..''
''It's okay... I-i'm over it. Well, i'll be going!'' I dash away.
I run home in my flats. I literally fly out of this uncomfortable dress and fly into my jeans and oversized sweatshirt. I walk around oddly in my apartment, a bit procrastinating... "Ugh, I'm such a loser, I'm going out." I step outside and just let my feet take me somewhere. I ended up near the wharf. I inhaled the sea air and closed my eyes while leaning against the rail. All of my past memories return. But, why now? One single drop if water climbs down my face. I sigh, "Omo, I can't cry now."
The chilly wind blows really harsh in my neck, making my permanently red dyed hair blow crazily. "Hyung!! Look, it's the ocean!!!"
"Sea you freaking idiot!"
"No, ocean."
"Sea!"
"Ocean!"
I smile inwardly at that conversation. It reminds me if when Chen and Chanyeol would bicker. My eyes widen. Those voices do sound... f-familiar?!
I whip my head around. No... I see exactly 5 boys clumped together, and one of them was really tall. But... where's the sixth one?
