"I'm off to school!" I excitedly run off like I was running away from home. This day was when Suhyeon realized this was a first for him to feel excited to go to school.

And I thought I should also be.

Only if I didn't know what might happen next.

The time I spent walking my way to school was filled with thoughts overthinking about the situation. Suhyeon concluded back then that he probably got that main quest because he responded to Hajun.

Which means! I should give it a try and not talk to Hajun today. I do hope when we pass by the gate, I'll get a different quest. So here I am, slowly walking like a turtle.

"Please please please, let him go in first." I mumbled to myself, crying out to fate. Roaming my eyes around as I hid behind a tree, I didn't see a familiar face near the schoolgates yet.

Is he going late? Or did he went in already?

I hope he already di—

"Hey." I jolted away from my hiding spot, panicking, as I looked behind only to see the guy I was trying so hard to avoid.

NOOOOOOOOO!

He already said hey! And I looked at him! Hajun might feel offended if I just walk around as if I didn't see him!

I composed myself first, before flashing him a smile despite knowing it is futile. "Hello!"

"Aren't you getting in now?" The different question is understandable, considering I hid on a spot away from the gate. I laughed awkwardly.

"I'm actually about to!" I reasoned, and I'm glad he didn't question it any further. "You're just coming to school now too?"

"Yeah. Let's head in together."

My heart felt like it will drop any second the moment I saw the system screen flashing before my eyes.

In other circumstances, I would be happy. But it's totally different right now.

I remember Suhyeon getting excited and determined about it, saying "Whatever it is, I'll complete it!" I suppose I have no choice but to follow the plot again, or else the story would become different as to how I knew it.

"What are you doing?" Hajun asked when I took too long to move nor react, but that was because I'm staring intently at the system screen. "Come on, let's go."
