"Don't shit for too long." Yell Seungwoo from outside, Sejun reply in instant, "I'm not shitting, i told you i was just gonna pee!"

"Whatever it is" Seungwoo shrug, continuing to scroll down his phone screen.

He knocked on the men's toilet again after a few minutes. "Yeah, yeah just wait for a sec!" Sejun answered from the inside. Heard was the flush and him walking out as he zip his pants.

Sejun look through the window while washing his hands, "They left already?"

Seungwoo look at him and stand up lazily after putting his phone in his pocket, "What took you so long? They left to Sunyoung's place like minutes ago."

Picking up his backpack on the floor, Sejun apologise for making them leave early because of him. They both walk out the school building together, almost reaching the gate, not until Sejun act weirdly again.

"Seungwoo," Sejun scratch his head, feeling kind of odd as he turn back to look at the school building.

"Huh?" he answered, glancing at the boy next to him.

"I think i left my headphone in class. Help me take it?" Sejun try to give him the best smile, but Seungwoo just stand up and start to walk, ignoring him.

He shrug at the thought, following him from behind. They entered the empty hallway, it was dead silent since all the students went home already. It was around 5.30 that time.

Once they reach the classroom, Seungwoo lean his back on the door after Sejun walk in, looking around the hallway as he wait.

Closing the door, Sejun walk up to his seat, searching for his red headphone on his desk. Even though it was dark already, he didnt even bother to turn on the lights since taking his headphone wont take long.

"Here it is." He smile as he take it out of his drawer, instantly heading out to the door. Before he even reach the sliding door, he stop his track when he notice something. He froze for a moment.

The thought before the last class ends, he was staring at the girl who was still sitting, head laying on the desk next to the empty table on his left but he left with the others after. Some days she would groan in frustration as she put down her head on the desk but he noticed that she was quiet the whole day.

Sejun slowly turn his head to the back to see a figure staying still on the same seat he remembered.

"Yah Seungwoo-ah" call Sejun from the inside but Seungwoo only reply with his lazy voice which shows no interest. Sejun sighed, his feet taking him to lead the way to the girl.

'Is this the Jung Haewon who rarely go to school?'

'Is she the Jung Haewon that people never care about?'

'Is it the non-existant Jung Haewon in this class?'

Different kind of thoughts hit him as he stare at the girl. She isnt moving nor having her face seen. He slowly remove strands of hair on her face, trying to confirm if its really her who attend class that morning.

'She looks tired though. Is she sleeping? Should i wake her up?' Sejun ask himself again but he thought that it's better to wake her up since it's getting darker outside.

"Jung Haewon. Haewon-ssi."

"Jung Haewon." He shook her a few times, but she didnt even move an inch. He pursed his lips and scratch his head again, the feeling of being nervous appear suddenly.

Sejun flinch at the sudden knock from the door on the outside of class, he let out a heavy breath as he make his way to open the door.

Seungwoo only make a confused expression when he saw Sejun's horrified face. "The girl is still here.." Seungwoo made another one of his confused expression with a groan, "Then what's about it? We dont have time for that, leave her be."

Sejun was not surprised of his same behavior, he doesnt care a lot about things. He was frustrated so he drag Seungwoo in, snatching his phone then turning on the lights next to him. "Yah what's wrong?" His eyebrow lifted on the left, staring with full of concern when he saw how serious Sejun was after he put the phone on his pocket.

Again, he purse his lips before he speak up. "She's not conscious." "What-"

He actually have to care, that is one of the responsibility he have to do; also making sure the class is empty before leaving. He felt like he's crushed into pieces, the school might badmouth about their class and all, about the girl that they never know or talk about.

Seungwoo slowly walk, tilting his head to look at the figure. Sejun signalled him to try waking her up, saying that he tried already. Seungwoo wasnt sure of what to do but he did shook her body softly and call her name. He look back at Sejun as there was no respond but seeing him could only make him panic.

"Haewon-ssi, are you.. awake?" He ask, shaking her a few times more, but not softly as he did before. He began to sweat, and try to calm himself. "Yah Haewon-ssi."

The girl suddenly move, her hands and body seem want to curl into a ball but its more like she wanted to hide away from them. Sejun was surprised so he try to remove her arms from her face but to only notice, "She's shivering.."

Seungwoo's eyes widen when her body move to the side, off the table but he manage to catch it. 'She looks weak.' Sejun thought.

With a heavy breath, Seungwoo didnt give up to wake her up, he placed his two fingers on her neck,then to her wrist, to check her breathing but felt, there was none. He panicked, "Sejun, call the ambulance!"

They both ran out as they hear the siren getting near, Seungwoo put her down on the bed inside the huge van, the loud siren all over the neighborhood.
