His POV

"Are you sure you're gonna manage?" Her soothing voice gave warmth to my nervous heart. She copied me and is now resting her head on this massive apple tree besides me, her eyes worriedly searched mine for answers.

Is she worried about me taking up the class monitor role?

I closed my book and placed my hand on top of hers, easily enveloping her hand with mine.

"I'm going to be fine Sejeong-ah." It took her a minute to nod and smile, when she smiled I felt everything is where it should be. The world is in complete balance.

She thought it would be the perfect day to have our group study, we were supposed to meet at five in the afternoon but I arrived a bit earlier.

"It's still one PM, do wanna see how big the guinea pig herd is now?" She excitedly pulled my arm to her, I stiffened up when she got closer to me my heart is in a frantic mode, my mind shut down.

"Ah, you still have to read that book. Sorry." Her hands relaxed and was about to let go of my arm so I sat up straight.

"I'm done for today. Let's go." I gulped and smiled at her, her eyes turned crescent as she stood up dusting her skirt she pulled me up and dragged me to where she wants me to go. Looking at her hair flying where the wind blew, her sweet strawberry scent entered my nose.

Where can I get the exact same cologne.

"Let's start with the preparations!" The senior students clapped their hands as we dismiss the meeting, I stood up and checked my tablet to see what are the needed materials for the project.

I need to finish up soon so I can meet my girlfriend.

Just thinking about her made me yearn for her more. Resolute about finishing my task for today I went straight to the door when someone called my name.

"Wait up Sehun!" I turned to see the girl we met last summer. I stayed silent, I couldn't remember her name but she's the other student assigned with me.

Oh right, she'll have to tag along with me.

"Let's go?" She said. I nodded and resumed walking.

I'm assigned to ask about the different manufacturers for the materials we're going to use, checking every quality and price of the products. We went to different warehouse and asked the personnels about their materials offered.

It was a long day, I checked my phone and it's already 8 in the evening.

Along with checking my phone I saw Sejeong's messages.

Good luck today Sehunie.
Are you still busy?
Hellooo
I'm having my dinner now, you should too.

A small smile crept on my face, reading her messages felt amazing somehow. This is the best thing that happened this evening.

I should get dinner too.

"Uncle let's go eat dinner first before going back home." I said when I'm near my car.

"Oh dinner?"

"You're still here?" I completely forgot about her, didn't we concluded our job for today? She smiled and touched her stomach. I sighed.

In the end we brought her to the restaurant we ate together with uncle on another table. I finished my meal as fast as I could so I can call Sejeong as soon as I possibly can, she may be asleep soon. When I placed my spoon on the table I stood up and uncle followed instantly.

"Eh? Hold up!" I looked at her a bit annoyed. She barely finished her food because of how small she eats in one spoon so did she expect I'll wait for her?

"We are done with our job, a bus stop is over the intersection. I'll go now." I didn't bother to wait for her response and in a fast pace I went to my car and called Sejeong.

She's still awake, she talked about how her day went after school and just more random things that I just listen to every words she says until we both sleep with our phones still in our hands.

Completing my day.

Three weeks passed and we're now given more task than we could handle. The seniors from Vionale would always scold us whenever someone does anything wrong thus us getting to do our job later than expected. I have to study for my exams and have to follow up on the preparations for the sophomores part .

"Make sure you'll make no mistakes compiling the datas." I specifically reminded her yet how could she mess up everything?! I rubbed my temples to calm my self but it wasn't enough to blow my steam.

"Because of you we have to go back again! You wasted weeks of work!" I yelled at her. I feel my head boiling of anger, she picked up the once white paper which is not wet and smudged in black ink.

She stumbled and all the papers fell to the pond near the green house. I can't look at the messed up papers floating helplessly on the water, I snatched it from her hand and threw it back to the water.

"I'm sorry." Her eyes started to water and I couldn't care less. I came near her and squeezed her chin with my hand, shaking of anger I glared at her.

"Because of you I have to-."

"I'm scared." Her lips trembled, her eyes are pooling with her tears.

I closed my eyes when a white flash beamed from out of nowhere. I covered my eyes and fell down to to the ground. I can hear someones muffled screams.

"What did she do to you!?" I heard my voice screamed.

"I'm scared."

"Let's get you out of here." I sound so nervous, shaking and grunting.

"Let's get out of here Sehun! She's gone crazy!" she cried harder, almost out of breath.

"No Irene. Where's Sejeong?!"

Why am I looking for Sejeong? What is this.

A surge of someone's memories came rushing inside my mind one after the other. I endured the excruciating pain, it's almost breaking my fucking head open.

Fuck!

I don't know for how long I stayed on the ground when suddenly everything stopped hurting. I opened my eyes slowly, my eyes is adjusting to the light when I saw a figure of a girl.

"Sehun!" Her face started to become clearer. My eyes flickered when I remembered the girl in my memories and looked at the persons face in front of me.

Irene.
