I've been in the present for several days now. All I can think about is if the other Minji has read my note or what she's up to or if the girls have found out I'm a time traveler. I've been not doing as well in my classes as I usually do, raising some concern from my teachers and my father. So now I'm grounded. Why am I grounded in every timeline? This is so fucking unfair like I chose this life. However the fact that I'm grounded did not stop Hanni from breaking into my house running past my dad. After some convincing he agreed to let her stay only for a bit then she had to go.

"Have you studied for our physics test on Monday?" Hanni asks from my desk that she's currently organizing. She's only been here ten minutes but she's been cleaning the entire time she's been here. I mean to be fair my room was a wreck but you can't blame me I've clearly been preoccupied.

"No, I'll study later." I sit up watching the Vietnamese girl organize my markers and pens now.

"Minji, it's a lot of material you should probably get started. I feel like you're usually on top of this. Why are you waiting till the last minute?" Hanni spins around in my chair looking at me with a worried expression.

"It's fine Han I got this, don't worry about it. I'll start studying when you leave." The pouting girl just sighs, getting up from my chair and sat next to me on my bed.

"I'm always here for you Min if you need anything." I smile at her before laying on my side facing away from the smaller girl curling into my pillow.

"Thank Hanni, but I'm okay really." I felt her moving around next to me on my bed then suddenly I felt her arm wrapping around my waist holding me while pressing her front into my back. I felt a smile come across my face as the smaller girl held me. Usually I'm the big spoon, but secretly I like to be the little and Hanni knows that.

"I love you so much I just want you to be okay...I know you're not." A frown replaced my smile at her words. I wish she couldn't read me so well it would make this so much easier. I didn't respond to her, just pressed my body more into hers and interlaced her hand with mine that was wrapped around my waist.

I'm finally back in 1998. It feels like forever but it's only been less than a week. This time I came back in the middle of the woods Monday morning around seven. What the hell was she doing in the woods this early in the morning? It took me about forty minutes to navigate myself out of there which led me to the back of the school. God why can't she just hide on the roof like she used to?

I was finally exiting the woods and heading towards the school when I spotted Heesoo walking by herself looking like she's thinking really hard about something. I make my way over towards her with a smile on my face. You got this Minji, make an effort!

"Hey Heesoo what's up!" I give her a big smile, but it quickly drops when she looks over at me with a scowl on her face.

"Wouldn't you like to know." She mumbled walking away from me. What the hell? I jog over towards her grabbing her wrist stopping her from moving.

"Hey what's wrong?" I furrow my eyebrows at the shorter girl who looks exceptionally upset. Heesoo just scoffed, rolling her eyes at me.

"I've been calling you all week and you've been ignoring me and suddenly you want to hang out and talk like nothings wrong?" Shit. God how do I even explain this to her.

"I'm sorry Heesoo I really am. I—please just know that I'm really sorry." I feel so frustrated right now. I have no excuse for this. Damn it why couldn't past Minji just pick up the fucking phone.

"You say that all the time and nothing changes. If you don't want to be my friend, okay just stop with the hot and cold it's driving me crazy." I don't know how to fix this. I can't keep promising her to change because I can't some days I won't be here and that's a fact.
