Study hall came that evening and ended quickly. To everyone's attention, they were shock Jonghyun actually showed up to school. After all, it has been a month. Strangely he's still enrolled.
Ding~! The final bell ring. Student quickly pack their possessions and hurries out to meet with their friends. As Bomi leaves study hall, she finds Jonghyun waiting out side the door.
"You're just going to ignore me?" He spoke tailing after her.
"It's been a month with no replies."
"Are you mad?"
Jonghyun races up, catching up to her, pulling on her arm to stop her.
"WHAT?!" She shrugs him off viciously. "I can hear you okay!" Instantly noticing everyone staring at them. Maybe she made too much of a commotion.
"I'm sorry. I had things going on."
"Forget it. Move out of the way. You're embarrassing me." Says Bomi shoving Jonghyun to the side, deviating far away from him as she goes down the stairs hastily.
Outside the door, exiting out of the building, it was storming bitterly. Students whom didn't prepare for the night had to walk in the rain. Getting drench themselves meanwhile trying to protect themselves with their books and bags. There stood Bomi, clueless of what to do next. Her face was priceless, like a child whom was lost. She tries and takes a few steps into the rain, eagerly wanting to get out of there. Students were filling up the little deck. Soon there'll be no more room.
In her first few steps, the rain had been waaay too harsh. Drenching her all soak and wet. She climbs back on to the bound of the deck, squeezing in with all the students. Just as she get back on deck, the crowd pushes forward, pushing her off. But in that time lapse, an arm reaches out, gripping on to the elbow, pulling her back. In that moment, Bomi fell in a daze, miraculously didn't slip from the bound of the deck.
Gradually she opens her eyes, realizing someone had just save her. The aroma so familiar, his posture. Briskly she glances up- Jin!
"You're wet." He hastily wraps his sweater around her. "Cover your front."
Bomi gasps. Finally realizing her pink bra was peaking through her shirt dress shirt.
"I'll walk you home." He friendly smiles at her, leading her out with his umbrella.

I don't understand why she was so upset.. It's not like I'm dead. Woman are such complex beings. Don't you agree?

Back at base, the team gathers up. All clueless on what's going on.
"What's going on? Why'd you call us?" Asks Minho leaning on Suzy's shoulder.
"I'd like everyone here today to let you guys know that Jonghyun will be back on." Says Old Man glancing over.
"What?!" Engages Minho. "Daebak! When?!"
"Did he make any progress?" Asks Suzy, shoving Minho off her shoulder as he hisses passively.
"Yes. He progress more different that I've imagine. But now, Yongguk will be the new team leader.. Until there's word on Nayoung."
"Heol!~ you mean to say Yongguk from the analysis department?!" Scoffs Nana disappointedly.
"Yes, that's the case."
"At least we now have someone who can lead us.. On the bright side.." Murmurs Dongwoo positively awkward leaning against the wall.

Finally home after a long day, Jonghyun strips himself as he enters in. He leaves his clothes in a trail as he heads to the shower.

I went to sleep that night, feeling so heavy. Unable to breath.

Morning came in a blank of an eye. And once more Old Man barges in. More like always. Never has the audacity to knock. He's comes in with his loud footsteps croaking the tile floor.
"Did you order something?"
Jonghyun groans before actually pulling himself together to look over to Old Man. He turns to face Old Man, baring his bare ab and chest. His muscular fit body in the dim light.
"What order?" His delicate raspy voice peaks through.
"There's no return address.." Says Old Man flipping the box at all angles.
"Maybe a secret admirer." Jonghyun jokes. Knowing well he has good looks.
"Tsk." He scoffs in disbelief. "Secret admirer my ass."
"Next door neighbor." Jonghyun yawns, climbing out his bed in his red and white stripe boxers. "What time is it?"
"4. Hurry, we gotta get going."
"Yeah, I hear ya." Ignoring him, Jonghyun jumps on the pull up bar and starting pulling himself up. He grunts and groans with every pull he achieves, he sure was getting the ache now.
