   Empty cups were slammed on the table, her mind drifted back to the incident that just happened earlier afternoon. She thought she was stupid, again and again. Did Hyosonn's clumsiness transferred to her?

He pulled her to the front, up the stair, dragging her next to him. He was only few inches apart, his body, were too close to look at. It was nerve wrecking to her, she don't know but she somehow was really nervous, her body felt like it was heating.

He looked at her, close, and smiled. "Be careful,, president."

The word 'President' kept repeating in her mind, it sounded weird but it made her more nervous of the feeling. Why did he even.

She was sobbing internally, clenching her shirt. Putting the cups and papers aside, she stare back at her works. It was done before 4 and she doesnt have any work to do at the time. She wish she can give it back and put it in the teachers' room but she wasnt even in the mood to walk upstairs.

Hendery made his way out of the library, walking through the same hallway he use to pass by but he went straight towards the door in front.

She continued to drink, filling in the cup full and drink it well. She felt her head ache, a warm liquid suddenly came out of her nose. Touching her nose and check it, she cursed. "Shit."

He reached for the door, but in instant it was opened by her, she didn't even look at him or something but he just stared at her figure that pass him by so fast. He thought that she never moves that fast and peak to see her rushing into the girl's restroom.

He was confused, tilting his head. He admit that she was so fast he can't even open the door first just now. He looked over to the table in the room, cups, papers, messy surrounding, he knew that it wasnt the view he always see in the room but

"Coffee?"

She slammed the door, hurried to the sink and turn the  water tap on. She took a lot of paper towels, covering her bleeding nose then wash it off using the water. Knowing that she spilled some on her uniform, she threw the paper towels into the bin.

"Fuck it." Without unbuttoning her shirt, she just stripped, taking it off and throw it on the sink, turning off the tap back.

She walks over to her locker, taking out her extra  clothes, towel and shower gel.

Aerin walked in to shower, showering her head first, her hair wet, washing her face then just take a proper shower. The floor was full of blood, washing it away with water into the drain.

Hearing the sound of locker slammed and running water, he noticed that she was showering, not even wanting to check through the small window on the door. Hendery leaned his back on the wall, putting on his earpiece on the right while the other one listening to the water splashing. How rushed and panicked she was.

About 10 minutes later, he heard the door opened, he stood up straight, looking to his left. Then she came out with a gym clothes on, halfway zipped and drying her hair.

She flinched when she finally saw him, looking back at her clothes and zip it fully to her neck. She covered her nose in instant using her hand but then remove it when she realize her weird gestures. She dried her hair back, looking at him. "What are you doing here?"
