kim minjoo's POV
its been a year since the spheres in the sky appeared.
one day they just showed up— and whatever they are... they haven't left.
they float in the air, thousands of feet up... and sometimes wonder if they'd just fall from the sky one day.
today seems particularly eerie as the clouds are dark and i have a sickening feeling in the pit of my stomach—and it's not lunch.

no one's POV
from inside class 3-4 of seongjin high, the students are busy talking with their cliques and laughing about the latest gossip.
on one side of the room, by the windows— a group of girls talk about... you guessed it— boys.
"you'll never believe it." a girl by the name, choi sora, gushes.
"what? what?! tell us." her friend, kwon eunha asks excitedly.
sora ushers eunha and the two other girls by the names, park iseul and joo hyerin, closer. "i heard from someone that ahn sangwon is back."
hush gasps leave the girls' lips. "his suspension is over already? i thought it lasted for another month!" hyerin claims.
"rumor has it that his father paid the principle to let him back early." sora replies.
after hearing the news eunha turns to look behind her where the quiet girl of the class sits. "oi— mj, did you hear that sangwon's coming back?"
kim minjoo, rather known as 'mj' for short, shakes her head curtly at the girl before looking back down to her notebook.
"rumors are rumors. i chose not to believe them unless i see it right in front of my eyes, eunha." minjoo claims.
just then, their homeroom teacher, ms. han, walks in— a tall brunette following closely behind.
"well i'll be damned..." mj mutters under her breath as none other than ahn sangwon stands by her side with a smug smile on his face.
"everyone take your seats please!" ms. han shouts to get the attention of her rowdy students.
"lee donghyuck get off of the desk please— go to your seat or i'll have to call your mother... again." ms. han teases.
the boys in his friend group all laugh at this and make teasing noises.
"quiet please." ms. han interjects once more.
"as you can see..." she looks over to the tall 6'2 student. "mr. ahn is back with us. so let us welcome him and hope for a better and less... troublesome, year for him."
