Aera pov
    Aera was running late....again. She clicked her alarm off ,rolling back over. Being a night person isn't good for school, but she gets so entranced into her books that she can't really help it. Maybe 5 more minutes wouldn't hurt, right?. That's what she thought when she woke up 10 minutes before class started.

"Shit shit shit" She scrambles out of bed panicking. With no time to get ready, she throws on the first thing she can find, some torn up jeans with a black top. Pulling up her hair and throwing on her glasses, she pops some toast in the toaster making sure she has everything in her bag, laying her notebook and textbook aside.

'Pop' She quickly grabbed the toast, a bunch of thoughts running in her mind. Now, normally she would put stuff on it, but, well, in this situation she didn't. Putting the toast in her mouth and grabbing her things, she rushes out of the dorms to the lecture hall, making sure to apologize to people on the way.

She looks at her watch "4 minutes". She speeds up even quicker. Finally grabbing the toast and actually eating it while running, balancing her books on the other hand "I can't be late.. god not again" She sees a group ahead but she won't let that slow her down. The room is just on the other side of them. "Cmon Aera 2 minutes" As she's running she bumps into a figure harshly with her shoulder almost falling. She can't slow down. At this rate she'll be kicked out. "Sorry! I'm running late" She bows quickly regaining her balance.

"Wait hey you dropped-"

She ran off not into the classroom not realizing she dropped her note books for that class with 1 minute to spare. Doing a little victory dance she sat down wiping the sweat off her forehead and breathing in relief.

Aera looked through all her notebooks, looking for the ones she needed for this class. "Ah, where is it?" She mumbled, looking around. Groaning, Aera lightly slammed her head against the desk. Luck just wasn't on her side, not like it ever was. Soon the bell rang, she looked around the room, her best friend Kim Dae wasn't here. She goes to pull out her phone to text her realizing she forgot that too. she groaned more, shutting up immediately as the professor walked in.

. "Alright kiddos," Complaints filled the room about the name. "Jeez, calm down, I have an announcement." The class quieted down. "Thank you, as I was going to say, we have a project." Groans erupted, Aera just finding it all funny. She loved film, it was her blood sweat and tears. Her family was surrounded by film/acting majors. "Quiet!" The class quieted once again. "For this project, I'll partner you up with people who have similar id numbers, so when I call your names, please partner up." Aera paid attention, watching as Professor Hwang called out students names and the said students going to each other. "Oh! A surprising pair! We have Aera and.." The door opened as the professor made his dramatic pause. "This fellow right here! Sung Hanbin!" The boy walked in, confused. "Whats going on?" He asked, looking around. "You just got your first partner work, not to mention your late too" Aera watched, doubts going through her mind. "Sorry! I got caught up talking to a friend!". Hanbin's bows walking to his seat. "Um sorry professor who is my partner?" Aera raises her hand as the professor looks in her direction. Hanbin nods, taking the seat next to her as the professor continues. "Now your project is to make a short film. You don't have to have anything specific but it has to be at least 10 minutes long"

Aera pulls out a piece of paper after quietly introducing herself to her partner. Since she has no notebook this will have to do. Looking over at Hanbin she notices him pull out two notebooks. One that is blue and one that oddly looks exactly like hers.... The stickers and everything. She tilts her head, why would he have her notebook? She shakes it off, thinking maybe it's a coincidence... she inhales, but the same stickers.. "Ahhh" she lightly hits herself on the head. Maybe I'm finally going crazy, she thinks to herself. Eventually she lets it go, coming to the conclusion it's probably in her dorm room. She was in a rush, so she could have accidentally left it. Aera raises her hand asking to go to the bathroom, her shoulder suddenly sore. "Yes?" "May I go to the bathroom?" The teacher nods, Aera standing up and heading to the bathroom.

"What the hell?" Aera eyes the red mark on her shoulder. staring at it intensely. When did that get there? It was black just yesterday. She looks at it confused. She did bump into many people this morning, so it could've been anybody. She disregards it for now, heading back to the classroom. Sitting down in her seat she notices her partner is gone. Looking around, she noticed small flower petals on the table. She picks one up looking at it closely. Of course she knows what it's from, but is it hanbin's? She shrugs it off, putting the petals in her jacket pocket. She looks back to the front of the room focusing on the teacher, deciding she will deal with these problems later.
