Onjo was waiting for Namra at the cafe.
After a few minutes, Namra entered the cafe and her eyes immediately searched for someone.

"Hey, Prez! Here." Onjo raised her hand.

Namra walked towards her quietly. She took the sit opposite to Onjo.

"How are you?"
"I'm just well, I guess. What about you?"
"I'm great." Onjo smiled. "Should we order first?"
"Sure."

After placing an order, Onjo continued talking.

"So, when are you transferring?"
"Probably next week."
"That's so soon."
"Yeah, I thought it might take a while but it's done sooner."
"Wahh." Onjo exclaimed. "It's nice to see you talking comfortably."

Namra just smiled.

"Come to think of that, we never really talked before."
"You're right."

After an hour of chatting, Onjo checked her watch.

"The movie's going to start in a while. Should we go?"
"Let's go." Namra stood up.

Chanmi was waiting in front of the theater. Sooheon should be here already.
She called him.

"Hey, Sooheon. Where are you?"
"In the car."
"The movie's starting soon."
"Go in. I'll catch up.''

He hung up. Chanmi looks at the screen impatiently. Then she goes in to the theater.

Sooheon was driving fast. He managed to park the car quickly and ran into the theater.

Namra and Onjo were looking at the screen, waiting for the movie to start.

"By the way, where did you need to go?"
"To a park. I wanted to walk and chat."
"That's cool. I'd like that."

Onjo smiled at her.

The movie started. Sooheon entered the hall just then.

"Hey, here." Chanmi whispered.

Sooheon made his way to the sit next to Chanmi.

"Sorry, I'm late. Well, not too late."
"No, you're too late."

After the movie ended, everyone came out of the theater. Sooheon also came out with Chanmi.

"It was so fun, wasn't it?" Chanmi asked.
"You're right, it was hilarious." Sooheon said.

Onjo looked at Namra. The huge eye bags are easily noticable on her milk-white skin. Her eyes looked tired too.

"Should we walk to park? It's one stop away from us."
"Yeah, let's go. We were going to walk anyway."

"Wait, Prez. It's Sooheon!"

Namra turned around to see Ji Sooheon who was talking and laughing with a girl.

"But who's that?" Onjo pointed at Chanmi.

Namra turned back. Onjo started calling Sooheon.

"Hey, Ji Sooheon!" Onjo shouted.

That managed to attract a few people including Sooheon. He smiled big seeing Onjo and started to walk towards her. Chanmi followed him slowly. Onjo met him in the halfway.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Onjo said.
"What do you think? This is a movie theater, of course I'm here to watch movie."
"Dumb me. Anyway, who's she?"
"Ahh right. She's Ok Chanmi, my friend. And she's Nam Onjo."

They bowed slightly. Namra was still standing at the sidewalk, waiting for Onjo.

"Whom did you come with? Is it Cheongsan or I-Sak?"

Onjo hit him in the back.

"I came here with Prez."

Sooheon's eye went bigger. Onjo smirked at him.

"Where's she? Did she left?"
"Hey, don't worry. She's here, but I'm not sure if she would want you to see her."
"Please, my dear sister-in-law?" Sooheon begged her.
"Sister-in-law?" Chanmi was surprised.

Onjo hit him again. Her cheeks flushed.

"Why am I your sister-in-law? He's not your real brother." She joking said. "Anyway, today's not possible. We're going somewhere. So, get lost."
"Where?'' Sooheon's puppy voice changed to serious.
"To the park. We're going to walk there."
"By the way, come to the gathering tomorrow, there's a high chance you can see her. I'll invite her." Onjo whispered.

Onjo started walking away, but Sooheon followed her. Onjo gave him a death stare, but he didn't mind.

Sooheon tapped her shoulder gently from behind, and when she turned around, he was mesmerized. That's the first time Sooheon saw Namra without uniform, outside school and with her guard down.

Namra was zoning out looking at the street. She felt dizzy and paralyzed. All of a sudden, someone tapped on her shoulder. She thought it was Onjo. She turned around to see that familiar face.

"Hi, Prez." He smiled.

She looked at him blankly. He'd gotten more handsome from the last time she saw him. Not to mention, he smelled really refreshing.

"I am not the prez anymore, Ji Sooheon."
Her voice sounded weak. She gave him a faint smile.

"Class president or not, I really don't care. I like you calling that. Can't I?"
"I see, why not?"

Sooheon cleared his throat.

"So, how have you been?"

His deep, heavy voice sent shivers down her spines. He looked so handsome when the afternoon sunlight casted on his tan skin.

"I've been great. How're you doing?"
"I'm doing well, I guess."

Onjo was standing a few metres behind them. She had a proud smile on her face. Chanmi gave her a weird look.

"By the way, what's her name?"
"Choi Namra. Didn't Sooheon tell you?"
"No, he didn't."
"Make sense though. He didn't even tell us before. We found out by ourselves."
"What's their relationship?''
"You go to Yong Tan High, right? You'll know then."

"See you later. I've got to go now."
"Are you okay? You look tired."
"I would say you're the one who takes the part. Bye then."
"Bye."

Namra walked over to Onjo and they started walking away. Onjo turned her head to Sooheon and gave him a thumbs up.

Sooheon's heart beats faster. He saw her after so long. The confidence he built in all those years worked out.

"Who's she though?" Chanmi asked him.
"Who do you mean?"
"The one you were talking to."
"She was the class president of my class."
"You're friends then."

Sooheon just nodded.

"I'm going to go home now. You?"
"I'll go too, then. What's the point of hanging out alone?"
"Do you need a ride?" Sooheon asked politely.
"Sure, if you insist." She hoped into the car.

Namra and Onjo was walking alongside the lake. The sun was slowly setting down and everything was getting quieter.
The birds were flying in flocks and returning home.

"Prez, would you feel uncomfortable if I call you by your name?"
"Not at all. Go ahead."
"Choi Namra." She looked at her.
"What's up with the formalities? Aren't we friends already?"
"Okay, you should try it too."
"Let's go that way, Onjo."

They both chuckled.

"Oh right, Namra. We're having a gathering tomorrow. Wanna join?"
"I'm not sure if that is a good idea. I mean, I don't think they'll be pleased to see me."
"Sooheon will be there too."

She looked at the girl who was waiting for her response.

"Where are you gathering?"

That earned a smirk from Nam Onjo.
