Melody goes to school like usual and somehow she feels empty and loss that makes her keeps daydreaming. She didn't move that much, whenever the teachers get out from the class she will just stays at her seat, reads the same page and never flip it.
When the rest time come and while everyone leave the classroom one by one she still sits silently and not even bothering to go eat.
"Yul-ah" Mingyu calls her softly but she didn't react, on that time Mingyu realizes that she wasn't in reality. Mingyu pokes her carefully on her right shoulder and she immediately raises her head up out of surprise.
"O-oh Mingyu ya..wae?" She asks while raising her eyebrows confusedly. "Lunch, don't you want to eat?" Mingyu says with a calm smile.
Melody doubts and wants to refuse at first but when she looks at Mingyu's face, she remembers that she shouldn't act this way to him since she promised to be okay and she doesn't want to make him worried.
She nods and returns the smile. She puts her books under the drawer and stands up. "Seungkwan?" She asks shortly and they begin to walk side by side. "He said he wants to eat with others today" Mingyu explains and Melody just nods in reply.
"Is Haru okay?" Mingyu asks since it's weird that Haru suddenly didn't come to school. "Her grandmother passed away," Melody replies while sighing softly, seriously feels bad for Haru. "Ah..I'm so sorry to hear that" Mingyu feels speechless, he seriously didn't know anything about it. "Me too," Melody mumbles alone but enough for Mingyu to hear her.
Melody keeps looking at the front with her expressionless face. "Hey why are you so gloomy?" Mingyu asks with a happy tone, he tries to make Melody smile and cheer her up.
But then she suddenly stops walking beside the window and looks outside up to the sky. "Even the sky is gloomy" she mumbles slowly.
Mingyu stands beside her and takes a look at the sky, it's seriously so gloomy but still not pouring the rain. He looks at her, she seriously as gloomy as the sky. He suddely wonders did she already let her tears to drop or she still hold it. Just like how the rainbow after rain, he hopes she can smile more happily after this.
"Let's go," He softly says and pulls her right arm carefully, gladly she just follows him without complaining.
After they take their foods, Mingyu leads to empty seat and they sit while facing each other. Mingyu waits for her to take her chopsticks first then he takes his and then he waits for her to eat first. But she seems to don't have any appetite since she takes a lot of time to pick up the rice makes Mingyu feels so worried.
"Yul-ah?" Mingyu calls her softly and bents his head down a little to match her eyes. "Uhm?" She suddenly asks while finally looking at him properly.
"Do you think the food will disappear just by looking at it?" Mingyu says with a calm smile
"Eat up," he adds in a very manly way.
Melody stares at him for a long time and slowly shows a smile while nodding softly without any words. She looks away and finally begins to eat with the rice first into her mouth. And Mingyu finally can feed himself after watching her eating.
"What are you thinking about?" Mingyu tries to ask carefully, he seriously wants to know what's inside her mind.
She didn't show any reaction at first but then she suddenly pauses her movement.
"Honestly, I don't know...." She says, makes Mingyu stop eating and looks at her.
"I just...somehow feels empty" She adds and continues to eat again.
