"Hello, everyone, I'm Lee Mido, Junior, Fashion Design Major," Mido introduces 

"I've never been in a relationship so I have a lot to learn."

"I hope my partner is someone wise enough to guide and lead me."

She takes out a paper from the box of names "Lee Hanseol?!"

His eyes widen at the sound of his name "Lee Hanseol? Come up and see who's the next couple." Prof Suhyeok said

Hanseol stood up, introducing himself "Uh Park Seonghwa?" He calls

Seonghwa stood up and takes out a paper to see who'll be his partner "Lee Ju...Yeon, Professor, I'm afraid picked a guy, Can I try again?"

"It's just dating, per se Why should gender matter?" Professor Suhyeok said

The class laughs

Hongjoong comes up as he's next "Ohh Jeong Sunmi, my moon from the front and back,"

Sunmi laughs 

-

After School

"When was the last time you cried in front of someone else?" Hongjoong asked as he read the letter Prof gave to everyone 

"The last time I cried...

Was just today....."

"What? Why? What happened?" Hongjoong asked

"In front of Seonghwa," Sunmi said

"What? you cried in front of Seonghwa?" Hongjoong asked

"Yes, next question please," Sunmi said

"No, what did you cry about?"

"Just the usual, raining, thinking about the accident, forgetting where I am," She said, playing with her drink

"Sunmi you really need to stop driving, rain or no rain," Hongjoong said

"But-"

"No buts, it's really dangerous considering all the incidents that have happened whenever you drive, taking the bus or me and the others driving will be a better and safer option for you."

"You wouldn't want your mom to worry right?" He said

"Yeah..."

"And you wouldn't want any of your friends to worry too right?"

"Urgh yeah... stop it with your therapist's voice, it makes me feel like I'm having a therapy session right now." She said

"That will be 250 dollars," He hands out his hand, a signal to give him money

Sunmi slaps the hand "Let's go, I want to go home already."

"Hmm alright, I'll drive," Hongjoong said

-

Both Seonghwa and Juyeon are seated in a cafe, barely starting a conversation. 

"When was the last-"

"-Why did Sunmi give you her lighter?" Juyeon asked

"That's not part of the assignment."

"Sure it's not, just tell me why," He asked

"I don't know either, I told her that she should stop smoking and she just gave me her lighter saying that I could hide it from her mom." He said

Juyeon face still stayed the same but in his mind, he was screaming at how happy he was

"When was the last time you cried in front of someone else?" He asked

-

As Hongjoong stops his car at a parking lot he asked "Sunmi, I haven't seen you smoke today, did you forget to bring it?" He asked out of curiosity 

"Huh? Oh it's not with me," She said, getting out

"Oh? That's unexpected you usually have it everywhere you go."

Sunmi takes a deep breath out "Yeah I know, I gave it to Seonghwa," She puts her hand in her pocket

"Woah he smokes? Who knew," He said, shocked

"He doesn't, I just gave it to him 'cause he told me to stop."

"Damn he did? Even those ex-boyfriends of yours can't even stop you," He said

"I know right? But he still lives next door, I'm dying to get my hands on my lighter," She said

"Mhm alright then, see you tomorrow yeah?" He said

She nods "Bye!" She waves him goodbye

As Sunmi was about to unlock her door she looked to her right, Seonghwa's house. She walks over to his house, ready to knock but stops

"You can't even last a day without it, what's wrong with you Jeong Sunmi," Just as she was about to knock on the door

The door opens with Seonghwa looking at her, shocked "Sunmi," He softly said, taking off his earphones

His hair was wet from the shower, and his doe eyes as he looked at her, he was holding onto a bag of trash wanting to throw it. 

He shyly smiles "Excuse me." 

Still dazed Sunmi continued to stare at him. He clears his throat "Umm? Sunmi?" He moves his hand close to her face 

Reflexes, she grabs a hold of his hand squeezing it "Ah ah Sunmi," He walis in pain

"Oh oh shit sorry," She lets go

He awkwardly laughs rubbing his wrists "Sorry." A signal to move aside

Getting the signal, she quickly moves aside. He walks to the bin and throws the plastic bag. Walking back he notices that Sunmi was still standing there "Uh need anything?" He asked

"Oh! Yes actually sorry I completely forgot, uh can I have my lighter back? I can barely last a day without it." She laughs

"Oh," He walks in, leaving Sunmi staring at his door 

The door opens shocking Sunmi "Here," He said, passing it to her 

"Thanks."

She bows a little and walks a step to her door. "Ahh finally." 

She takes out a cigarette bud and was ready to light it out as she opens the door. The apartment building has a smoke alarm, that ignites when it recognises smoke. 

Not wanting the fire alarm to ignite, she lights it up as soon as she steps foot in her house.

"Sunmi?"
