Sejun's POV
"You okay? You've been staring at your phone all day," Byungchan says as he ate his lunch. I nodded a yes, still not taking my eyes off my phone.

"Come on, I know you're not okay. It's the first day of school and you're already bothered by something," He says. From the corner of my eye, I saw him stand up, approaching me.

He snatches my phone from my hand, my head still down to where my phone was. "Oh, Jang Sihyeon. It's been two weeks already, can't you get over it? You can't let her death ruin you," He says while looking at the picture of the two of us.

"How can I forget about her? She was my only source of happiness, and now that she's gone, what can I do without her?!" I said, screaming at Byungchan. He looks around after the noisy atmosphere silence because of me.

He bowed apologetically to the people at the cafeteria. He placed down my phone in front of me and sat back to where he was sitting. "Okay, I'm sorry, okay? But if you're going to continue this attitude, don't tell me I didn't try helping you out." He says, leaving me as he took his unfinished tray with him.

I sat there for a while, staring into absolutely nothing and let my thoughts fill my mind. Out of nowhere, I let my head drop on the table in front of me as I kept my head down for God knows how long.

I went into the classroom with no sign of happiness on my face. Everyone else looked at me for the look on my face and maybe just because I'm late.

"It's the first day and you're already late?" Our homeroom teacher scolds. "Sorry, I won't do it next time," I slightly bowed with a soulless voice, about to go back to my seat.

"Sir, can you forgive him this once? He's not so well these days," Byungchan says, raising his hand. "Is he saying the truth?" Our teacher questions. "It's okay, just mark down a late on my attendance," I replied, sitting down.

"D- did you just," Byungchan says, unable to finish his sentence. "Sejun wouldn't do that! He cares about his attendance more than he cares about his soul. Bring back the old Sejun." He says, shaking me.

"Just stop! Okay?" I screamed, getting the attention of the others once again. "Sejun, if you're going to disrupt the class, I guess it's better for you to go outside." Our teacher scolds. Without responding, I stormed out of the room.

Out of so much rage, I mindlessly walked around the campus. I didn't care if I was loitering at that time and let my feet take me wherever. I stopped at my tracks as soon as I reached the lobby.

To my right, there was a huge photo. I didn't know why, but I suddenly stopped and just stared at it for a while. It showed an image of a girl's shadow sitting on top of a building, well lit with LED signs around.

After looking at it for quite a while, it hit me. My head was feeling heavy, and my vision went blurry. "Hey you there, what are you doing here during class hours?" I heard a male voice behind me, but I couldn't respond. That was the last thing I heard before I passed out

"Hey guys, I have to go now. It's getting late," I told the others as I stood up. "Oh yeah, sure. Get home safely," Seungsik says. I said goodbye and left, walking back home after a few drinks with the others.
