"Taehyun still hasn't come to shcool yet, Soobin seems like he's been lonely. I wonder if he's fine without having his friend beside him. The last time we talked to eachother was when we had P.E class. After that, I've been trying to go talk to him but he always avoids me whenever he sees me walking towards me. I wonder what's happening." Liwoun kept looking at Soobin, she noticed that he was writing again in the same notebook. "He doesn't even talk, he took zipper your mouth too seriously...-" - "Okay class! Stop anything that you're doing! We're gonna start our discussion!!" Liwoun scratched her head.

"Seriously, what is she saying?"

"In order to get the answer, you have to divide-" Liwoun was stressing her head out while writing down notes not until the bell suddenly rang. It was different from the bell ringing for break time. Liwoun looked outside the window and saw students running like it was a fire alarm that rang. It was. "Class! Get out of the classroom!! Follow the other students to the ground floor!" She was panicking, she was so nervous and confused of what was happening and she just got more nervous when she didn't understand what their teacher said. She saw her classmates stand up from their chairs and leave the classroom, she honestly didn't know what to do. She was zoning out in such a bad time.

"What are you doing??!!"

Liwoun felt someone pull her out of her chair, she didn't know who it was until she looked. It was a Soobin. "Do you want to kill yourself in the fire?!?!!" — "Soobin-" he didn't make the conversation longer and pulled the both of them out of the classroom. The fact that Soobin was holding her hand while they ran made Liwoun feel a little less nervous. But it hurt her since he was holding it too tight that it looked like he was going to break her hand. The both of them were going down the stairs, students were everywhere, there weren't much space left on the stairs that someone could actually trip and fall onto the ground if someone gets hit by another student.

It wasn't long enough before that happened. A student was hurrying too much that they actually bumped onto Liwoun, her hand lost grip of Soobin's. It made it even worse when she also kicked her ankle with her feet. If you could only see the pure terror on Soobin's eyes when he saw Liwoun falling off the stairs.

"Liwoun!"

Liwoun was awake, but she couldn't open her eyes. The first thing she felt was a head ache. The pain was all over her head that she felt like her brain shrunken, she tried slowly opening her eyes. Liwoun saw light directly at her eyes, everything around her was blurry, she didn't even know where she was. She looked around her surrounding's and saw a blurry face of a person at her right. As soon as she started blinking, she started to see everything clearer. When she finally saw the persons face, it took her a minute to realize who it was. "Who are you?" Soobin's eyes got bigger as soon as Liwoun said that. "Don't tell me- you lose your memory that fast?!?!! You weren't even bleeding!" — "Oh... Soobin... Hi." Soobin's heartbeat started to slow down as he felt relieved that she didn't lose her memory, cause if that really happened, he would've died cause he gouged out his eyeballs.

"Where am I?" — "The clinic, where else would you be?!" Till now, Soobin was still looking and sounding mad. Liwoun wasn't even doing anything and yet, he still gets mad at her. "Before you ask me a useless question, the shcool wasn't actually on fire. Some random kid 'accidentally' pressed it." Seems like that kid would go to jail for atleast a year for making hundred of students freak out and making them think that there was a fire inside the shcool. "Soobin.." Liwoun grabbed his collar and pulled him close to her. "What do you want?!"

"Thank you."

"Well..." Soobin moved his eyes in circles thinking if he should say what he wants to say. "I would've been more happy if you stayed dead. If you didn't fall there, I would not have been inside this clinic with you because your mother wouldn't respond." Despite him being mad at Liwoun for no reason, she just gave him a sweet smile. "I don't know if you think im being friendly with you, I'm not here to be friends with you. It would've been better if I killed myself instead of talking to you everyday." Soobin stood up from his chair and left the room leaving Liwoun all alone. She wasn't mad at him, since she knew he was just going through a bad mood.

Flashbacks:

"Her mother hasn't been responding to our calls since the past minutes." The nurse put the telephone aside and looked at Soobin. "Go and get someone else to be with-" — "Stay with her until she wakes up."

"What?!?!!!"

"Why does it have to be me?!" Soobin didn't even want to stay there but at the same time, he does. "You're the one who brought her here. I can't keep an eye on her since I have other patients. If she only had a nosebleed it would be fine-" it was not long before they both heard something drip and fall onto the floor. Soobin didn't even heard it, he doesn't even care. As he looked at the nurse, he was confused because she had a panicked expression on her face. She wasn't directly looking at Soobin's face, she was looking at his nose. "You know, if you ever see something you should just say it immediately. It'll take a week for people to understand what you're trying to say with that face-" Soobin finally noticed something under his nose, he noticed the floor has some small drops of blood.

"Soobin-" Before the nurse could even say anything, he fell to the floor. "Holy shit-"

Liwoun was sitting on the bus as she was on the way home, she never saw Soobin again after he left her by herself in the clinic. As she was about grab her phone she felt something in her pocket. She grabbed it and saw a piece of folded paper. What's this? Liwoun unfolded the paper and when she saw it, it was a letter. But, from who? She looked everywhere from the paper but there was nothing written on who wrote the letter. She was surprised that it was in japanese letters, it could've been from the people she knew.

"Liwoun, I did wish that you would've broke your skull when your head hit the floor. But I guess you managed to survive without an injury. Thanks to you, I had a nosebleed and fainted. The nurse told you to rest when you get home, you may not have hit your head that hard, but she said that you can still feel pain in your head so take a rest. I've told Taehyun about what happened to you, he hasn't responded yet. I forgot to tell you that he hasn't been going to shcool cause he's sick. Don't forget what the nurse told you, you might stay up late doing shit that's not even useful. Take a rest or else I'll break your skull in half myself."

Liwoun smiled since he repeatedly said in the letter to take a rest, even though there was nothing written on who wrote the letter, she instantly knew it was Soobin. She folded the paper and put it back in her pocket.
