However, before he even took a step... he coughed into his hands once more.

"*Ahem!*"

You shifted your attention back on the boy, eyeing his back curiously. Did he call for your attention? What did he want to say? Does he want you to follow him? What did he actually want? The boy kicked a pebble or two on the ground, seemingly hesitating, before truly voicing out what he wanted to say

"You did well out there," he said vaguely. To some out there, they may not have known what he had meant, but you had completely understood the compassionate meaning behind those plain words.

The smile on your face grew wider by the second, as you heard your heart thumping against your ribcage. It's not like he could see...but he could tell. Everything was beginning to fall back into place again.

The wind slowly picked up, the waves colliding with the rocks by the seaside, birds chirping once more, and the warmth within your heart returned.

"Thank you,—"

==========

You stood around with the rest, waiting for class to start.

'right, isn't jiwoo supposed to join us today?' you recalled the boy being back to full health all ready and excited to be joining back with the rest of you.

But the current question is...where in the world is h—

The door swung open.

'ah...nevermind, there he is' It really wasn't that long, but it seemed like everyone had missed the boy, for they all were also, excited to see him once again in class.

You imagined how their past selves would react to them now.

"Jiwoo, starting next week... We'll be taking the same classes as the affiliated students!" Jihye exclaimed, you could imagine the bounce im every word she pronounced. Who wouldn't be elated by that kind of news?

[A/n : idk...sucheon's grandfather perhaps?]

Chatters of how different it was going to feel like and the jitters settled in their stomachs. Damn...it was really happening huh... But far within the background, settled a very unhappy old man.

"Everyone except Jiwoo Seo must leave," said a man, interupting everyone's joyful conversations.

It was safe to say, that everyone was confused as to who these men were, and why they had to leave Jiwoo here alone with them.

You squinted your eyes at the men in suspicion, and unsettling feeling resting deep within your heart. You didn't like this feeling at all.

"This is your final warning. Everyone except for Jiwoo Seo, leave."

'Erm...the AUDACITY of this man, to barge in here and tell US to leave when our class is starting?'

"I don't know who you are, but we have class starting soon here,"

[A/N : omg u go bestie slayyyy]

"Jesus, they are my entourage," This ond man popped out of no where. However , it seemed thaf Jiwoo had recognised this man perfectly as "Sucheon's grandfather,"

'why is Sucheon's grandfather here? Shouldn't he be playing cards in a nursing home or something?'

Nothing felt right, for this old man, wanted to have a nice, private talk with Jiwoo. I repeat, p-r-i-v-a-t-e.
