SEOUL, KOREA

"Have you seen Shane?" Aries asked her other classmates

"Shane Yang? I heard that she issued an excuse letter, I think she's having a vacation in Jeju right now"

"What? You mean, Jeju island?" Aries was shocked

"Yes, the letter says it all... I have to go Aries, see you around~ bye!"

Aries was wondering while walking out of the school, it's still 2PM KST. She took out her phone from her bag and glanced at Shane's number, wondering if she's going to call it or not.

"This girl never informed me..." Aries mumbled and turned to hide her phone again, she started to walk along the street.

While walking, she saw her fiancé Donghun. They bumped on each other.

"Aries? Why are you walking alone? You told mom that 3PM is your dismissal, right?" Donghun held both shoulders of Aries

"I'm okay. Don't bother. Where are you up to?" Aries looked at him seriously

"I was about to pick you up, and since that I saw you here, let me take you home now" Donghun smirked

Aries gulped a bit, seeing his fiancé won't make her happy at all. She hates him.

"I told you, I'm okay~" Aries starts walking

"When will you like me back?" Donghun was just standing behind, staring at Aries while walking

It made her stop. She slowly turned to face Donghun with a shock face.

"We're getting near to be married, I know you don't like it... but I'm begging you Aries, I can give you my all. I love you so much" Donghun with a teary eyes

"Don't beg for love, Donghun. Don't make me have pity on you"

Aries shook her head then turned his back again.

"Let's go home now, what are you waiting for?" Aries continued walking

After awhile, Aries received a message from Shane, saying: "Aries, are you free?"

It made her curious, she simply replied: "Yeah. Why?" then Shane left her last reply "If you're interested, please book a flight to Jeju. Just tell me 'pag nandoon ka na sa airport, I will pick you up."

"Ano naman kaya ang pauso nitong si Shane?" Aries talks in her mind.

She taps the back of Donghun

"Donghun, I'll just meet my classmate. She need some help for something. Just go home. Okay?" Aries started walking away

"But--" Donghun didn't continue his words

"And... don't wait for me. Bye!" Aries ran in other direction

She left Donghun, sad... heaving a deep sigh. "There she goes, again~" Donghun went home alone.

AIRPORT

"Ugh, my flight will be in 3 hours. It'll be a long wait again..." Aries walked lazily to the waiting area

She checked her phone and sent SMS to Shane "I'll be in Jeju in 3 hours. Wait for my text, okay?"

Shane didn't reply, she just smiled and continued her conversation with Suho and others.

After 3 hours, Aries arrived at Jeju airport. She's dead tired because of travel hours. She decided to call Shane...

"Hey. I'm here na! Where art thou?" Aries kept glancing around

"Ha? W-wait. I'll be there in 30 minutes, standby." Shane hanged up the phone.

Suho asked her about the phone call...

"I invited someone to join us" Shane

"Is it he or she?" Baekhyun chuckled

"I think, a girl... Shane eonni is not friendly with some guys. Haha!" Kate said then sipped her drink

"I'm friendly with guys, also!! She's Aries. Okay? I'll be back guys. Wait me here. Never go somewhere, is that clear?" Shane

All of them raised a thumbs up.

"Uh, Shane-ssi~ take care" Suho smiled at Shane before it goes out of the restaurant. Shane just replied a nod.

Few minutes later...

Shane has arrived at the airport. She kept on glancing around, suddenly... Aries covered her eyes.

"Hi sis!" Aries chuckled

"Aries! Hello~" Shane

"So, what's up? Pinagbyahe mo pa ko ha" Aries fixed her blouse

"Kasama namin ang EXO" Shane looked staight at Aries

She's going to watch Aries' reaction. But, Aries just stopped fixing her blouse and looked up to Shane.

"Talaga?" Aries with a low voice

Shane answered a nod.

"H-How?" Aries gulped

"Hindi ka ba masaya? Suho even invited us for a trip! And here it is, nasa Jeju na tayo~" Shane

"I'm not surprised..." Aries turned away

Why is she acting so strange about EXO now?

"Bakit naman? It's our dream to be with them, right? Heto na, we're living with our dreams na~" Shane tapped Aries' back

"Kayo lang. Hwag mo na akong isali" Aries mumbled

"Ganyan ka ba?" Shane laughed softly "Girl, nandito na eh. Come with me~" Shane pulled Aries with her

"Nako Shane, kinakabahan ako sa gagawin mo..." Aries walking nervously

"Ako ang bahala sayo. Kung nagbago man ang isip mo about EXO, ibalik mo~" Shane
