"If you leave again before we graduate, I'm dumping your sorry ass." This, along with a very clumsy and hard hug, was your friend Kim Minah.

And you hugged her back just as fiercely. "You didn't make new friends, right?"

"Hey, I didn't buy a chastity ring with you! You're the one who left! You better not contact your Seoul friends ever in front of me." She tugged on her red beanie as you fiddled with the tags on your suitcase.

"I'm sorry. Really." You looked solemnly at a faded Fall Out Boy sticker on your jade green suitcase.

She sighed. "Yeah, I know. But does Jungkook?"

You eyebrows furrowed at that. "I don't want to think about it. Let's leave it till we get back to school."

"You know how much that Jungkook boy bugged me about you, right?" and you did, because she had relayed every single message he sent her to you, even the ones just inquiring about your health. You had let Minah tell Jungkook that you had left Busan. After that, the second week, he stopped texting you and your only contact was only through Minah.

Not that Minah and Jungkook weren't friends, in fact, they'd known each other a lot longer than you had known either of them. The richest people usually had a way of grouping together.

And talking about rich, now Minah was leading you to her family car and taking you to her house, which was practically a mansion. You had insisted your parents pay in some sort of way, though, money for you to buy groceries for the Kims, and a bunch of presents you brought for them from Seoul.

Her driver recognized you and waved, "Long time no see, huh? You back at Busan High with Miss?" before grabbing your luggage and fitting it in the already-open trunk of the car. He was a friendly guy who practically watched you grow up since the age of 7.

Minah had been on her phone the whole time, texting some unknown person. Now, she looked up and said while you were staring around the entrance of the airport, "Come on. I gotta get home soon. My brother just told me they've prepared a dinner party for your returrn."

You smiled. It was great to be back.
