"a man!"
                          
"a man?"
                          
"yes! a young damn fine man literally gave me a wave and two thumbs up! he's the committee too! you know him hyejoo!" haneul turned back to see hyejoo's expression.
                          
"look, clam down okay!"
                          
"it's calm," haneul looked at her with a bored expression and her arms crossed.
                          
"I know, that was a pun. just wanted to make things chill," 
                          
"do you have an absent for the commitee?"
                          
"uh, yes?"
                          
"where is it?"
                          
"in yunmi'sー"
                          
haneul laughed really hard and said
"did she put it in her socks?"
                          
hyejoo hitted her arms and shushed her.
                          
"what? it's true though!"
                          
hyejoo looked at her in a disbelief.
                          
FLASHBACK
it was summer, everybody was having a party.
drinking cold beverages, popsicles, etc.
                          
haneul was really enjoying the weather, she thought everybody was having fun. then she spotted yunmi's sitting alone and eating every single popsicles available on the table.
                          
haneul decided to come to her and asked her to at least have fun a little bit, yunmi thought that haneul was walking towards the table to get popsicles.
                          
so she searched for things that can be stuffed for the popsicles, she was in absolute panic and she kept searching it.
                          
then she found a sock, and she put all of the popsicles into it and ran away.
                          
haneul saw it and she couldn't help to feel grossed out of her actions.
                          
FLASHBACK ENDS
                          
"I saw it with my own eyes, hyejoo," haneul said for the thousand times.
                          
hyejoo never believed what she said about yunmi because all she knew about yunmi was that she was an absolute nice girl, she got all the good things in the world.
                          
"hyejoo, what the frick frack are you doing here? get the book!" haneul pointed her to go back to the backstage and get the book.
                          
hyejoo ran towards the backstage in a speed of light, as she was running, she bumped into a man that made the both of them fall onto the ground.
                          
and he was no other than sewoon.
                          
"woah, are you okay? I'm sorry," sewoon said.
                          
"wーwhat? no! it's my fault! IーI'm so sorry!" hyejoo got up from the ground and fixed her hair.
                          
then she lend her hand to sewoon so that he could get up.
                          
sewoon wholeheartedly took her offer, when their hands touched, she felt tense all sudden.
                          
"you okay?" sewoon asked and waved his hands in front of her eyes.
                          
"yーyeah, just tired since I'm the committee. you know gotta take care of this and that," 
hyejoo awkwardly laughed and pressed her lips to a thin line and ignored the eye contact that sewoon wanted to make.
                          
"then, let's go to a cafè together so that you can relax for a little bit!" sewoon didn't give her time to answer, so she just dragged hyejoo all the way to the cafè.
                          
hyejoo totally forgot that she had to take the absent book for haneul. so she went along with him.
                          
haneul waited her for a really long time and just stand there like a lost kid looking for their mom.
                          
"where is she?!"
                          
she felt a tapped on her shoulder, she immediately thought that it was hyejoo.
so she unconsciously hitted his arms and shouted.
"where the hell have you been huh?! I looked like a lost lost kid searching for theirー"
                          
she knew that she hitted the mysterious man, so she automatically bowed a 90 degree bow and keep bowing and keep saying "I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry".
                          
he noticed how shameful she felt so he tapped her shoulder and said
"it's okay,"
                          
she looked up from her bow and saw his face from close.
so damn fine, absolutely ethereal.
                          
she just wanted to curse in front of him for how fine he was.
                          
"I thought you were my friend! now this is one of the reason why you shouldn't scare me," haneul exhaled a deep breath. she noticed that the damn fine young man wasn't talking, he just kept looking at her.
                          
"wーwhat's with the stare?" she shivered from his stare.
                          
"aren't you going to ask me what I did to the speaker and the mic?"
                          
she was shocked when she found out that he was actually the one who messed all of it.
                          
she liked him already, another troublemaker to replace seongwoo from her old high school.
                          
"aren't we going to introduce ourselves too?"
haneul said. they both chuckled at how stupid they were.
                          
"lee haneul," she offered her hand for him to shake it.
                          
"hwang minhyun," he gladly accepted it.
