—it was a fine monday morning. eden walked on the school grounds, making her way towards her highschool building. as usual, she pulled up with her classic gray hoodie and black earphones that were currently plugged.

out of the blue, she gets knocked over by a boy who was probably hurrying, judging from his panting.

"i am so sorry," the brown-haired boy blurted out. he held out his hand to help the girl get up from the ground. she took the offer and stood up. the young boy brushed up his hair and revealed himself as kang minhee. he, all of a sudden, grabbed the girl's wrist and started running.

"i've seen you in class before, i don't think you realize we have, like, 2 minutes left until we're marked late," minhee said in between breaths.

"oh god, mr. park's gonna kill us," eden exclaimed.

"right, exactly my thought," answered minhee. with that, minhee tightened his grip and ran faster with eden beside him.

within less than a minute left, minhee and eden arrived to class. minhee, who was currently catching his breath, laid his bag on his desk and sloppily sat on his seat. eden approached her's, which was behind minhee's, and immediately drank water.

after the two finally breathed stably again, eden poked minhee's back. the boy turned and chuckled, thinking about the scenario before.

"thanks for earlier, minhee. i didn't even realize i was at the brink of being late again," she said.

"no worries! i was running late too—i overslept and those rascals left me at home," said he whilst eyeing hyeongjun, probably pertaining to his popular friend group. eden then laughed along with minhee.

"oh, by the way, your name's eden, right?" the girl nodded as a response.

"we've never talked before. i don't know why we had to meet like that but hey, at least we're conversing now," eden said.
