OMNISCIENT.

"Where are we going after school?" Hangyul asked Yohan who was just playing apps on his phone beside him. Yohan paused the game, "Page Project, I think there's a meeting." He answered calmly, returning to the game. "Ah. So does that mean we're meeting Yeoreum again?" Hangyul asked again, his tone excited.

Yohan almost dropped his phone, but he caught it in time enough to pause the game again. He faced Hangyul completely. "Uh, yeah." He managed to answer.

"That's interesting, when I ask you about our schedule, you always say 'I don't know', or 'Ask the others'." Hangyul noticed, raising his brow at the observation. "I-I just heard from manager hyung. He told me our schedule today, that's how I know." Yohan defended, his words hastening.

"Okay, if you say so. Let's go." Hangyul smirked teasingly, slinging his bag by his shoulder, standing up. Yohan became flustered, trying to follow suit. "Yah! Wait for me!"

Yohan quickly shoved his phone inside his bag, running to catch up beside Hangyul. "Oh would you look at that." Hangyul says, his eyes focused on a group of boys, and a familiar female figure.

"You look like a duck, of course. My duck." Yeoreum teased Dongpyo, pinching his cute cheeks. Dongpyo pouted, removing her hands from his face. "I know I'm your duck." She laughed heartily, not noticing the two who had already approached the group.

"Hey, Yeoreumie." Yohan greeted, making Yeoreum jump. "Oh, hey."
She knew the nickname was familiar, she just couldn't determine where she saw it from.

"Yeoreumie?!" Eunsang blurted. "Are you two close, hyung?" Minhee asked Yohan, who was flustered. "Yah, I just thought of it right now. No need to make a fuss, gee." He explained, his smile awkward.

All the while, Yeoreum was busy trying to remember. She lit up, an imvisible lightbulb tinking above her head once she recalled. Her heartbeat picked up it's pace, as she realized something.

Could Yohan be... the anonymous X1 member?

She knew she was on to something. Yeoreum collected the evidences in her head, one by one. Then someone waved infront of her face, dismissing her thoughts. "Noona, you okay?" Hyeongjun peeped his head infront of her, slightly amused. "Yeah, I'm okay." Yeoreum adjusted her vision by shaking her head.

"Say uh, do you wanna go with us? We're going to the same place anyway. Seungwoo hyung says he's almost here." Junho mentions, offering Yeoreum a ride. The members exchange knowing glances then look at Yeoreum simultaneously.

"Sure." Yeoreum sheepishly answers. They all started to walk towards the exit gate, and as if it was planned, the van stops a few steps away from them. "Seungwoo hyung's really getting the hang of it." Minhee comments, opening the car door.

Wooseok and Seungyoun were at the back of the van, giving the space to the younger ones. "Oh! Yeoreum is riding with us?" Wooseok peeks from the back seat. "Yeah, uhm hello." She bows politely, and so does Wooseok.

"Where do you want to sit, noona?" Eunsang asks the already worried looking girl. "Uh, I have a little bit of motion sickness so I can't really sit at the back." She mentions, the members becoming aware of the situation. "Then you can go sit with Seungwoo hyung at the passenger's seat. The ride's less bulky there." Seungyoun caringly suggests. "Okay, thanks."

Yeoreum carefully opens the front door. She's welcomed by Seungwoo, who smiled gently upon seeing her. "The seat's quite high, let me help you." Seungwoo reaches for Yeoreum's hand. She secured her seat safely, not forgetting to thank Seungwoo.
