U


It's been 4 days since the last time I interacted with Haerin, after that random hug she had been ignorning me lately, I wanted to be friendly always greeting everytime we passed each other but she won't even bother to respond she probably already seen me as a creep, a stranger hugging you on your first interaction man she's fr disgusted. I sighed I am seated on a bench somewhere inside the school. My thoughts paused when I overhear loud noises coming from my side, it was the boys from next class, Niki, Jay, Jake, and Jungwon, who's Haerin's cousin.

Yes Jungwon is Haerin's cousin, they somehow resembles because of their cat like eyed. Unlike Haerin, Jungwon is more chattery but still most of my interest goes for his cute cousin.

"Hi" He sat besides me with his friends hiding in the bushes.

"Hello"
"You just transferred right?" I nodded.

"I heard you're from class A, you must be classmate with my cousin" He smiled innocently.

"Yes yes, who is your cousin?" I'll have to pretend I don't know any of them.

"Kang Haerin, do you know her?" I slightly nodded.

"You must be her friend" ohh not yet
"We barely talk actually" he then nodded while doing the 'o' mouth form.

"Is that so? Then can I be your friend instead?"

"Yeah it would be a pleasure" We both shake hands and talk for a bit. Jungwon was actually once my friend he was a very polite and nice person, it's just that I'm not really into him and he deserves better.

2 hours later

After borrowing a book from the library, I went to take a scroll around the ground it seems like the student councils are very busy because of the upcoming festival in our school, it really had been a long time.

"Uhh excuse me" A very pretty looking girl called, I press my fingers around my chest gesturing her if she was calling for me, fortunately she nodded.

"Would you mind helping me with these" She smiled warmly as she started lifting bunch of flyers, she is one of the student council here, a foreign but hmm I forgot her name, pe uniforms got no name tag.

"Let me carry the others" She gave me half of it and we started walking.

"Aren't you one of the councils?"
"Yes, I am"
"That's nice what are you guys planning for the festival?"

"Hmmm actually there are different application clubs in multiple rooms so we'll leave it to them what booths they'll be having, but they still need for our approval" I nodded, I remember this back in the days I even brought a digital camera with me to take photos, such a loner.

"And we are probably be having runaway pageants, choirs and other guests" wow such a huge event.

"That's super dope I'm pretty sure the students will love it" She smiled warmly.

"I hope so" She mumbled under her breath yet I overheard it, how genuine this woman is she literally sounds like an angel.

"Don't you want to be part of the candidates or guests?" Noooo I'm too old for this kind of thing.

"No no HAHAHA I wouldn't fit there"

"It suits you, why tho?" Insisted her, uhh I've experienced modeling back in my 30s but I don't know now it feels like I'm old or what.

"I'll think about it" I sighed oh god what did just I do.

We talked random things for a bit and arrived at the tent later on.


"Hey Kazuha, I've been looking for you everywhere" Kazuha?? Ohhh I remember that name before hmmmm isn't she?

AHHHH it's her, that girl's name is Kazuha, the secretary of student councilor.

"Uhh you can put it right here, thank you Kim Minji" She politely bow, I'm convinced she took a peak at my name tag that's why she knew, I bowed in returned and headed out it seems like the conversation of her and Sunghoon is indispensable, Sunghoon is the Vice President of student councilor by the way.

I continously roamed the ground when I noticed a bird at the garden, it is blue feathered and just looks so naturally glamorous, I slowly approach it while putting some nuts on my hands, pls come. The little bird began moving backward as soon as it saw me but when it notices the food it immediately hop on, so tiny so cutee.

Talking to animals  even though they don't understand are my kind of thing, they're adorable.

I slowly sat on a bench, pour nuts at the side that made him flee over it's cute how it isn't even seem to be distracted and just freely eating. I began reading the book I borrowed, it is a book of time traveling titled 'The Time Traveler's Handbook'.


After class

I was walking outside when I saw the girls taking the locks off their bicycles, should I talk to them? despite wanting to be close with them again I am suddenly reminded by what had happend in the past, we fought after Haerin died and officially ended our friendship.

But maybe I can fix it now that I had returned, maybe I can save Haerin and the 5 of us can finally go to the amusement park... But why am I hesitating to befriends with them.

"HEY WAIT UPP" I stood there watching them ride off while Hanni being left out trying to catch up.

Have you ever experience that feeling of mix emotion.

The feeling of fighting the urge to hesitate but at the same time wanting them so desperately.

"Hyein you're so fastt wait for me!!"

"Let's race unnie!!"

"HAHAHAHAH You silly!!"

They're so genuine, like an angel... My thoughts were always burden every night wishing I shouldn't have ruined their friendship.

After a few minutes of walking I came to an halt when I saw a small store

"Welcome" The bell twinkles as I opened the door, this isn't just ordinary store but my favorite digital store. This is where I bought my camera 25 years ago, this store in the future will become part of a building owned by a company whom I made alliance with.

I was looking for the camera I bought before and somehow it took me 10 mins finding it, I bought it and went outside testing it, capturing random things.

This is so nostalgia.

5:10 PM, after a few minutes of walking I came to an halt again when a book store mesmerized me, this is my first time seeing this why haven't I notice this before? uhh probably because I always get Dad to pick me up from school and this alley isn't part of his driving routes. I stopped by anyways.

"Welcome" Cool decorations it's so 90's, I miss this kind of-

Wait wait uhhhhhh this is

Isn't this
