Saerom turns to Seungmin with a rather worried look upon her face. She knows Hyejin isn't going to simply ignore Seungmin's existence. Seungmin, on the other hand doesn't say anything before running out of the classroom the moment he makes eye contact with the girl.

Hyejin isn't too bitchy I guess, she's just kind of annoying. Okay maybe really annoying but still.

Saerom rushes out the classroom after the boy only to stop herself, perhaps he had a reason to do so. She walks back to her seat silently and stares out the window, at some point feeling someone stare at her from behind.

She turns to catch Hyejin staring in a rather confused way, she stands up and walks over to Saerom's desk. "Do I know your friend? The boy who ran out?" she asks with a soft voice. It was definitely not normal for someone like her to be talking in that tone, especially to Saerom.

"Not sure." Saerom replies. Before Hyejin could interrogate her any further, Felix, Hyunjin and Jisung walk into the classroom, drop their stuff of their desks and walk towards Saerom's, Hyunjin about to square up and scare Hyejin away. Saerom signals him not to but nicely asks her to leave.

Felix and Hyunjin were busy asking her questions about Hyejin's behavior while Jisung was examining the girl's features. Not that he had any interest in her, he just felt like he had known her or something.

Then it clicked.

"Where's Seungmin?" Jisung asks, the panic in his voice increasing. "He ran out the moment Hyejin came in, is everything okay?" Saerom replies, not really expecting an answer..

"No"

Jisung runs out, Felix and Hyunjin deciding to follow him, leaving Saerom alone and confused. Less than a few moments later the three ran back into the classroom, without Seungmin, making Saerom a bit worried about his whereabouts.

"Where is he?" Saerom asks, approaching Jisung's desk. "In class." he replies shortly. Saerom was once again really confused, "Doesn't he have class with us?"

"He moved himself to the class next door for personal reasons." Jisung replies again, but not willing to explain any further.

________

The final bell just rang and Saerom still hasn't seen Seungmin since he ran out of class. She walks back to her apartment alone, "I'll see him later anyways." she says to herself.

Back at her apartment both Seungmin and Jisung refuse to say anything. Knowing Hyunjin and Felix would know, she calls them but neither picks up.

In utter frustration at the awkwardness, she finally decides to ask Seungmin himself. At first he refuses to answer, and just walks away but after hours of persuasion he finally sighs in defeat.

"Come in." he whispers, making her walk into his room in confusion. He takes a seat on his bed and pats the space on his side, asking her to sit next to him. She does so without question, though millions of them were running through her head.

"This might freak you out or confuse you, but I guess you were going to find out anyways." he says, Saerom only nods in reply.

"You know I'm a demon right?"

"Yeah obviously."

"You know why demons are demons?"

"Why?"

"Because we did something horrible when we were alive."

"Okay. What did you do?"

"I was Jung Hyejin's boyfriend in her past life."

"And what about that?"

"I was also her murderer."
