we graduated a month ago, I remembered that hyemi smiled brightly because she was awarded as the top student. she scored highest among all the students in Seoul High, yes, she defeated the intellectual mr kim namjoon.

sadly, that bright smile she had lasted a day —other days were just like usual. everyday seemed like it was moving slow, as she would always kept quiet, sometimes she stayed in her room. she barely smiled unless there was something making her happy.

everyone was worried about her, we were scarred that she was unhappy being with us. we did take her to places like any friends would do, sometimes we took her shopping since she was the only girl.

and since winter, she was even more silent. as if her doorknob was covered with ice, we felt cold every time we wanted to enter her room. "what did she say?" they asked taehyung, he tried to speak to her and left some food for her too.

he shook his head, "she was just lying on her bed," he sighed. everyone went into her room on different times, they were worried that she might end up doing something ridiculous. meanwhile, I was worried that she might cry alone.

I didn't want her to cry alone in her cold room. so I entered slowly, "you okay?" I asked as I tried to catch her attention. she hummed softly as a respond, "can I come in?" and she answered again with another hum.

"you guys don't have to check up on me, I won't do anything stupid," her voice was soft that I could almost missed it. I walked closer to her bed and sat down at the edge of it. "I'm just," she paused, "I don't know. what took you so long to see me?"

my eyes widened in surprise, I didn't know that she was waiting for me. "sorry, I was busy with a few things," I told her which I wasn't lying. I scooted closer to her and caressed her hair, "I don't want to force you to tell me what's wrong, instead, do you want to go out? take a little fresh air?"

I was glad that she nodded her head, "can you go out first? I need to change." I walked out from her room and saw eyes staring at me, waiting for an answer. I told them that I didn't ask her anything.

a couple of minutes after, she walked out with a thick coat. "oh, are you guys going somewhere?" yoongi asked me, since I also wore a thick coat. I nodded my head and told them that we would probably be a little late.

we walked along the snowy path, quiet yet alright. even though she wasn't saying anything, we continued to walk until she realised that we didn't know exactly where we were going. "um, well you haven't eat anything. would you like some broth?"

to be very honest, I didn't expect her to agree with my suggestion. so, we went to one the famous restaurant that had amazing broth. while eating, we weren't talking much too, just simple conversation about what I did before I enter her room.

"and so my aunt asked me if I have a girlfriend, and I replied that who on earth would want to be with me and she said yeah!" I was glad that hyemi burst into a loud laugh —my heart was beating loud as I watched her beautifully laughing boisterously.

after she was done laughing, she wiped the tears that came out from her eyes. "what, why are looking at me that way?" she took a sip of her drink and tucked the strands of her hair behind her ear.
