Heejin walked to the school garden and sat on the nearest bench. She flipped open her graduation book and read the message that Beomgyu has written for her.

'It would be great if I could see your smile once again.

-Choi Beomgyu'

Heejin: Once again?

Heejin questioned. She snapped out of her thoughts when someone called her.

Yeonjun: Heejin.

Heejin looked up and saw Yeonjun walking towards her. Then he sat next to her.

Yeonjun: Listen...the pen you used a while ago..

Heejin: Pen? Ah! *takes out the pink pen from her pocket* This?

Yeonjun: Since when did you start using it?

Heejin looked at the pen in her hands, twirling it around.

Heejin: Hmm I don't remember though. Why?

Yeonjun stared at her for a while.

Yeonjun: Nothing. Let's go.

Heejin nodded then both of them stood from their seats.

Announcer: This is an announcement from the Library staff. Calling the attention of Jeon Heejin from Year 3, Class 1. If you are still in the area, please proceed to the library.

Heejin was puzzled but decided to go to the school library after all with Yeonjun. They entered the school library and met with the staff.

Heejin: I'm Jeon Heejin who was called by the announcement.

Student (junior/staff): You are Jeon Heejin sunbae from Year 3 Class 1 right?

A student who's sitting at a desk with pile of books,turned to Heejin.

Student: Glad you're still here! It seems like there's a book you borrowed that hasn't been surrendered to us yet.

Heejin titled her head at the student as she walked towards her. The student looked at the name list of students who had borrowed the library's books.

Student: It's entitled...it's a first volume book from Henri Michaux. 'Henri Michaux (1899-1984) French Poet Artist'.

Heejin: Henri Michaux?

Student: Don't tell me you lost it.

Chani: I have that! I was holding it for someone.

Chani quickly took out the book from his bag then gave it to the library staff.

Student: You do have it—you should have told me quickly! I even had to call her all the way here!

Chani apologetically bowed.

Student: Jeon Heejin sunbaenim,I'm so sorry. Seems like there was a mistake.

Heejin: It's okay.

Heejin putted down her yearbook then flipped open the thick book that was on the desk. There she saw the students' name card.

Yeonjun took a peek of the book from behind. Heejin didn't remember borrowing the book before. But somehow she felt dejá vu somewhere deep inside her. You can say that Heejin was confused. She couldn't seem to recall anything but she can sense something's missing.

Yeonjun: Let's go.

Heejin snapped out of her thoughts and looked at Yeonjun. She nodded,closing the book and giving it back to the staff. She took her yearbook and head towards the door.
