After we finish eating, we both walk together to the car. We tried our best to not walk on the same path we came. I wear my hoodie and tie it at the front. Luckily, we didn't got into any problem and instead, we go home safely.

"Go on, take a rest. I'll send you to school tomorrow," Mr. Kim says as he sees me get in from the door.

"No, I'll just go to school like I used to be," I laugh at him.

"But I have free times tomorrow," He says, slightly pouts which I find funny.

"Take a rest then. You can even take a holiday if you want," I chuckle and he smiles at me. "Last time I checked your file, you haven't had your vacation since the end of last year," I say with my hand under my chin.

"But- can you survive?" He asks and I glare at him.

"Of course I can," I say with confidence.

"Oh, then if you can't, you can just call that Haneul girl right?" He says and laughs. I look at him and sigh. "You can rely on her. I realize that she never cares about your wealth, unlike the other girls you've met before. Although they never came in there, the way the look I can tell," He smiles sincerely at me. I look at him with a hint of guilt in my face.

"Thanks for today," I say weakly and get in. I go upstairs and pass through every empty rooms to my bedroom. The room my father used to lay down is right beside mine. I open the door and look at his bed. I come in and sit on the small sofa next to his bed.

I wrap my head with my arms on his bed. "What should I do? How should I apologize to her? Will she forgive me?" I say as if I was talking with him but the truth is, no one is hearing me out. I sigh and ruffle my hair in frustation. I then come out and close the door to his room.

"I know you will help me somehow," I smile as I turn the door knob to close it. I get in my bedroom and change into a more comfortable clothes to sleep in. I lay in my bed and get ready to sleep. Arghhh! I just can't sleep thinking of her and what Mr. Kim told me.. Is she really different? But she was mad at me for what happened! I should put aside my ego and be a man, right? I should apologize tomorrow!

I fall asleep without even knowing how and when as I think about how to apologize to her.

The next morning, I wake up early and take a long shower. I practice a few lines to apologize to her today. I run to the bus stand while greeting Mr. Kim hurriedly as he was watering the plant. I reach the bus stand a little early or should I say a lot early? I sit on the empty spot and practice my line again. I practice many times as people around me starts to look at me weirdly.

"Well, I'm really-" The bus arrive and I get in. I sit on the single row seat. A few blocks after that, the bus arrive at the stop near Haneul's house. I look through the window and she is not there.

"Wait!" I say to the bus conductor before he starts moving again. I wait a few minutes anxiously.

"Yaa school kids! Who are you waiting for? We're already late for work," I man in suit says to me and I was literally gonna punch him in the face.

"Yeah, we're late already," A woman says and the bus conductor eventually moves. I slam my head to the window in frustration.

I reach school and immediately run to my first class which is Science class. I arrange my textbooks and workbooks on my desk and wait for Haneul to come anxiously again.

Where is she? Why isn't she coming? She has to sit next to me today! I turn my head and look at Jeno, the boy who sat with Haneul back the other day.

I walk up to him and knock his desk. "Yes?" He answers politely. I sit next to him.

"Can you help me?" I plead to him. "Please let Haneul sit with me today," I clasp my hand together and put it in front of my face. He had a shocked expression in his face.

"H-how do I do that?" He asks after a few minutes of silence. I smile from ear to ear. He looks at me weirdly. He must have think that I'm crazy right?

"You can simply said that this seat is not vacant anymore," I smile to him and he nods.

"Hmm what do I get?" He asks and I look at him with disbelief.

"Yaaa you! I thought you're different," I laugh at him. "I'll treat you to the high-end restaurant after school," I say and his face lights up.

"Which one?" He asks excitedly.

"Which one do you want?" I ask back, slightly raising my left eyebrow.

"The one near this school?! I've been wanting to go there and eat like a rich people!" He says excitedly and claps his hand cutely. I chuckle at him and pats his shoulder.

I nod to him and give him a thumbs up as I sit on my seat. The teacher comes in and I was confused as hell. Where's Haneul? Don't tell me that she is not coming today? What's wrong with her?
