It rained heavily outside. The unsteady connection on the tv kept giving the same news, 'the violent disturbance of the atmosphere with strong winds is about to acquire'. No one knew better than running off to their home for safety. People ran from here to there.

y/n got soaked by the time she reached home. cold winds were giving her chills all over. Her house looked gloomy as always. but she could hear movements of her dad in kitchen. without caring any less, she walked upstairs.

The rain showed no sign of stopping. It became heavier in few minutes. thunder sounds became more powerful. whole sky was filled with dark clouds. the storm was taking over everything.

y/n curled herself in a corner. her room looked empty and lifeless. things in her room always reminded her of Jacob. how she spent time with him but now...nothing was left behind. not even a memory.

She couldnt care any less about the storm when the room itself was making her feel scared and dead inside.

Just then, her phone rang up, which sounded creepy in that moment. She picked it up with her trembling hand. It was more creepier that the ID was 'unknown'.

She got stuck in the thoughts of picking it up or not. the ringing reached it's limit and the call went off. she couldnt tell if she was relieved or not. because right after that second, it rang again. she picked it up right away. "hello...?"

someone was breathing heavily from the other side of the phone. who's attempt of calming down was too audible. she realised that the person was crying. "y/n..." a male voice spoke up.

unfamilair yet familiar. his voice was at the edge of her mind. but she couldnt figure out who it belonged to,"who's speaking?" she finally let out, hoping it didnt sound too forced.

"y/n..." but he kept crying and couldnt bring himself to say anything else. "I'm sorry." he said at last before hanging up on the phone. her phone dropped from her hand. she was shocked with what just happened. who could it be,

'how does he know my name....

do we know each other?...'

It was almost the end of the third period. At the last minute, the teacher called a few top students from their seats. others minded their own business. they were confused with suddenly being called up by the teacher. y/n looked around to see that Xiaojun was also there.

"for future projects, I want you all to spread out and look for these kind of books. Based on these topic, any book would do" she said before handing them few pages and leaving the classroom. XJ sticked around y/n while other students scattered. he leaned closer to her side to see the pages. but he didn't notice that they were standing too close to each other.

"These books are rare. We can look for them in other classes."

"Not just classes. we need to visit the library .... will you come with me?" her words brought a whole difference in his expression. he repeated, "library?"

y/n didn't notice it but xiaojun looked puzzled the whole way to the library.
each and every corner was familiar to him. standing there, pictures of his past were flashing in his mind. as it got deeper, he shifted his thoughts and tried to concentrate on his task.

"so....are we friends yet?" his sudden words freezed her in action. she stood still. The place went quiet, sure enough there were no one else present in that place.

"Has anyone ever told you that..their friendship is a 'joke' for you? and that
you only seduced them for your own satisfaction." the smile on his face faded away. he knew exactly what she was referring to.

he felt guilty over his past actions "im sorry-" he wished to interrupt but the other didnt let him continue.

"I guess no one hasnt yet. so you wouldnt know...you wouldnt know how it feels.

In that moment, It feels like you're the most incompetent person...someone so useless who cant even keep up a friendship."

Xiaojun stood back, clutching his fist tightly. beside feeling guilty, there was something else bothering him. something as a torn memory. he could tell how y/n was feeling...only because he went through the same thing.

His face darkened as he trembled. he could hear faint laughing all around him. the scene before him felt dizzier just when he heard a familliar voice. someone called out to him excitedly. but it appeared like nothing but a memory.

Sicheng ran to the nurse room and slammed the door open. he found dejun unconscious on the bed. He looked pale sick. his anger increased when he noticed y/n by his side.
"where did you take him!" he asked furiously.

"I dont know what happened. we were in the library and then he passed out." he cursed under his breath while glaring at her "Leave."

"I cant just leave him here!"

"You're not helping either! It's your fault he fainted!" he couldnt care about where he was or what he was saying anymore. his anger had the worst of him.

"Im staying! If it's my fault why he passed out then I must stay here to apologize when he wakes up." the room fell silent as they both tried to calm their anger. Sicheng took the seat next to the bed, while y/n stood ahead.

Just then they noticed XJ's movements. he groaned while touching his head. both quickly surrounded him and stared as he slowly opened his eyes. "what happended..."

Sicheng looked annoyed with the situation. he refused to answer and only glared. It didnt take long for the other to realise that. he sat up on the bed.

y/n approached him with an apologetic look, "Im sorry I shouldnt have forced you to come with me-" before she could continue, XJ interrupted "It's not your fault. I skipped meal today...It has to be it."

"can we talk for a minute, alone?" sicheng suddenly yelled at the other. he badly wished that the third person would leave the room. y/n simply nodded and walked out.

When only them sat there in the room, both turned into their real self, unaware of everything else. "what did you do back there?"

"...I thought I heard her voice-" before he could finish, sicheng shouted in anger "Shut up! why cant you accept it! she's not here anymore!"

"I know she's not! I just miss her..."
