"The queen is back." Sana added.

"What was that about? Who is she?" Mina asked, very confused.

"She's the Campus Sweetheart / The Queen, Jeongyeon's girlfriend." Dahyun explained.

"She went overseas as an exchange student and now she's back after five months. She's like the image and role model of the school, pretty and smart that's why everyone loves her." Sana added.

"Not everyone." Chaeng inserted.

"But why did she come here to meet me?" Mina knows who she is now but it's still not clear on why she acted like that.

"Girl you're blind!" Dahyun replied with a frustrated look, shaking her head.

Sana chuckled then explained again. "Well, everything was normal until you arrived. Things were stirred up a little and the students started to pay attention to you. And—, urgh! Do I really need to explain everything? You'll just realize it one day."

"That's enough. Let's go and order food, I'm hungry and it's almost time." Chaeng got up and grabbed Mina's hand. She still has a lot to ask but yeah, food is more important.

As they ate lunch, the three were conversing about school matters while Chaeng was just silent. After they ate, they went to their classrooms.

Why is she suddenly so silent? She hasn't said a thing since we ate. Mina kept checking on her as they walked.

As they entered the room, the students gathered around Nayeon who's sitting beside Jeongyeon. She's sharing the experience she had when she was in the States. Then she noticed Jeong's seatmate is now sitting on the back.

"Oh? Why are you here in the back? Thought your eyesight is not that good that's why you sit right in front. And you're Jeong's seatmate right?" Mina asked as she sat.

"Well she needs it more. Those two are inseparable." She replied with loving eyes.

Wow, I didn't know she's that popular that this kid would even sacrifice for her.

The students settled down as their instructor arrives. Next subject is Music. After the discussion, the teacher made an announcement.

"We'll have a project before midterm exams."

The students moaned in disagreement as they're already busy with their project in History.

The teacher silenced them and continued. "This will be an individual project and each of you will be composing a song and will be performing it at the auditorium next week."

The noise got louder as they protest with the given task.

"Ssaem that's not right. We have a lot more to do and why would we even perform it? Not all of us can sing!" One of the students complained. The others second the motion.

"Guys, guys settle down. It's not that hard to make a song. If you're having difficulty, maybe you can start of with writing a poem. Then we can seek help from our music club in arranging the song." Nayeon said.

The other students agreed but some are still protesting.

"Nayeon is right. Just base it on your feelings or emotion, or just keep it simple. Be creative guys. And relaying the message of the song is the most important thing in this project that's why I'm letting you perform it. Why don't you give us a sample Naeyeon-ssi?"

"Oh? Suddenly? Gurae." Then she cleared her throat.
