He had been thinking of Lumi lately, it was more in his mind when she was not present for the past days. But why is it that it's gone more constant now that she's back?
Jihoon could only flip through the pages of his notes mindlessly, lying his back on the stone seat to at least clear his head. He had never had these thoughts occupy him, as he mostly puts his attention to music rather than the people around him. So how could that sad look on the younger face last time had him distracted all morning?
Ever since the last time, he can't quite put a finger on the situation. Even with his questions with Soonyoung back then, it's still not answered yet. As he keeps dismissing him, saying that it's better coming from the girl herself.
But she was not that open about it with me though?
Jihoon has this unsettling feeling inside him. It's like he's put into a spot, where he's left to observe the scene but can't quite see the big picture. Or is it because I am part of the picture itself?
The Gryffindor girls— what's with them about Lumi?
They seem to still hang around with us, or at least try to get close... but why is Lumi...
Wait...
It didn't really occur to Jihoon, for the longest as he had been stuck in his own world at most.
How could he be so oblivious?
Still, why can't Lumi talk to me about it?
Is he too focused on her that he passed by the obvious answers?
Does this add on to my obliviousness again...?
The rustling of the nearby bushes had him turn his head elsewhere. And the glimpse of dark fur had his brows perk up, his lips turning upwards at the sight.
The tail of the familiar mutt approached him. "Now where have you gone off this time, pal?"
He last saw this dog when he was just a bit outside the grounds the other day, even the last time he had his afternoon break. Though today, it looked tired or calmer? compared to the last time he called it.
It barked to him once, as if to express a disapproval at the nickname.

"Oh right, you're a girl..." He chuckles to himself, the more that it wagged its tail. It's as if it can really understand him...
Jihoon just continued petting the dog, then it giving him its paw. It has a small stripe by its paw. He observed it more, even pressing it as to why the dog growled.
"S-sorry... I..." It just crossed his mind of the girl again. Didn't she always have that ring with her since? Ever since last year though, he had not seen Lumi wear that ring again by her pinky. Not till recently, but it wasn't the same ring anymore. I can't believe I remember the little details.
