"Hana!"
Hana turned her head slightly. Her eyes landed on a figure of a girl who was running towards her with open arms. She immediately jumped onto Hana's body and hugged her tight.
"Hana! I miss you so much! I'm sorry for not visiting you when you were in prison and I was still trying too get used to your new name...I miss you Hana!" Haneul hugged her more tight and rested her head on Hana shoulder while crying.
"Haneul.....I'm sorry for keeping you waiting"
"It's not your fault Na....I mean Hana..." Haneul paused mid-sentence because she was still getting used to her friends new name.
Haneul shook her head, wiping her tears away. She looked at Hana.
"Anyways the best thing is we're in the same class! Together with Sunoo and Niki" She smiled and took Hana's hands and lead her to their new class. The two of them walked together in the hallway hand in hand while talking about random stuff.
Their conversations was filled with laughter and joy. Four years distance felt like forever. They have known each other since their first day inn middle school but after the accidents Haneul parents had forbidden her to visit Hana in prison. But after she knew Hana was released, she was so happy to finally meet her again.

In class...
Hana was sitting in the second last row next to the window. Beside her is Haneul sit. The classroom was quite big for 20 students to fit in. The class was full of students laughing, joking with each other and talk about random stuff.
Hana was alone. Haneul went somewhere with her friends leaving her alone. She was sitting in silence while reading a book. She didn't like meeting new people. It will be so awkward foe her since it has been so long since she last have socialising with other people beside her brother and close friends.
While she was focused on the book,, she didn't notice someone was calling her name the entire time.
While she was holding the book, suddenly someone snatched the book away from her hand. She look up and saw a tall blond haired guy standing in front of her, holding her book while smiling at her.
"Woah, Hana since when did you love reading book?" he chuckles
It's Nishimura Riki or people call him Niki.
"Since forever" Hana stood up and snatched that book from his hand and sat down.
"Wah, Hana it's been so long since we last meet and you didn't even bother to greet me... I'm so sad" He pouts. He sat in front of Hana and rests his face on his palm.
"Don't you miss me?" He smiled
"Uh, no I don't" She say casually and look at Niki.
Niki put his hand on his chest "That's so cruel" faking crying.
She laugh slightly. She then looked around searching for someone. He looked at Hana. "Searching for someone? He's not here"
Hana looked at him "Who's he?"
Niki looked like he was done with the questions. He raised his eyebrows and wished she understand what he meant.She then realise what it is and immediately shook her head. "No.. I didn't look for him.... I was looking for Haneul and Sunoo"
He looked at Hana. Scanning her face.
"They're at cafeteria right now. You know they are dating now"Hana looked at him. Shocked because she never knew about that. Niki look at her. Soon, realisation hit him, he immediately covered his mouth.
"I wasn't suppose to say that"
Hana looked at him "Thank you for telling me that" She turned her eyes back to the book.
Niki rests his head on his arm while looking at Hana who was reading in silence. He didn't say anything and just admired her. Hana like a role model to Niki after Heeseung. He really loved how Hana act and how sweet she is. She is also very hardworking person and he really amazed how strong she is to handle such a big trauma. Since then, he promise to take care of her and protecting her forever and won't let anyone hurt her anymore after the accident.

Hana POV
As soon as the bell rang, all the students rushed back home. I looked at Haneul who was packing her stuff. When I was busy watching her, I noticed she was wearing a pair of earring with a 'H' design on it. I let out a small chuckle. It's must be from Sunoo. They such a cute couple.
Haneul noticed that I was laughing. She tilted her head. "What's so funny?"
I shook my head and stood up. "No it's just you guys are so cute"
I left her behind. As I was walking in the hallway back to the locker, ignored Haneul called me from behind. Chill, I was teasing her.
I arrived at the locker. My locker was at second last row. As I arrived, I paused. My eyes were landed on a figure of a boy standing next to my locker while scrolling on his phone. Even thought his back was facing me I can clearly tell that it was him. It's a miracle when our lockers are next to each other.
I just stood there while watching him. I didn't dare to talk to him or even look at his eye. No matter how much I miss looking at his beautiful sparkling eyes. I don't have the courage to do that. I miss him. I do want to apologise for dragging him in this. I want him to know how much I love him.
I was scared by just thinking how he would look at me now. I was scared if he would hate me even more. So I have to avoid him all day even when we're in the same class. I noticed him since I entered the class. I didn't expect I would end up in the same class as him. I am happy to see him doing well but at the same time I was scared. I confirm that my brother had inform him about my release. I turn my back while holding my tears and my face facing Haneul. Her face immediately turn into a worried face when she saw my teary eyes.
"Hana...What's wrong? Did something happen?" She pulled me into her embrace. Comforting me.
"I miss him Haneul.... I miss him so badly.... but I was scared to confront him" I tried so hard to control my tears but it kept falling down and it hurts so bad.
She patted my back slowly. "It's fine Hana.... I'm here okay" I was crying and sobbing until I reached home and my brother was so worried by seeing my condition. The way he immediately knew I was crying because of Jungwon.
