the day was hot today and the sun shone bright up in the sky. she noticed a couple of drops of sweat running down her temples. she had a small towel with her to dry them. she had training period now and she hated doing physical activities, she wasn't good at it.

"let's jog around for fifteen minutes, go go!" the teacher exclaimed as the students began to jog in small groups. keiko wasn't in this class with her so she missed her friend now more than ever. she was jogging by herself when suddenly a guy bumped into her and she fell to the ground.

"omo!" she heard a voice exclaiming as she felt a pair of hands grabbing hers. the guy who bumped into her which was really tall and had small eyes and big ears, was grabbing her hands to help her stand up.

"joesonghamnida!" he exclaimed ashamed, looking down. she noticed a bunch of guys coming to their direction. she frowned as she recognized some of them. the guy in the cafeteria and the two guys from keiko's dancing class. she looked at the other one, it was short and she definitely had seen him before but she couldn't remember from where.

"uhh it's fine." she said, standing from the ground with the tall boy's help. she cleaned her white skirt and noticed they were all looking at her.

"yah! it's you!" the shortest one exclaimed. she looked at him and narrowed her eyes. nari felt ashamed for a second. he apparently recognized her but she couldn't recognize him back. a wave of deep crimson red took over her cheeks as she swallowed hard.

"i – i – she couldn't speak no more, she was confused.

"yah it's you... remember? the park? i saw you drawing something and then you left without giving me a chance to tell you my name." he said the last words while frowning.

the park?

she noticed the boys looking at her as if she was an alien. she counted five of them, two two tall and three slightly shorter than the tall ones but still way taller than her. suddenly it hit her, the short guy's face lightened in her mind and his features became familiar.

"ahh i remember now." she said and they all smiled. she was a bit surprised, she had never seen them before, and even though her school wasn't that big, there were many students and recently a bunch of new ones had entered the school too, so maybe they were part of this group.

"anyway... please forgive this dumb tall pigeon. he never watches his way." the short guy added, she nodded towards the tallest direction and bowed, he did the same.

"it's okay. kamsahamnida." nari said and the boys looked at each other. they were impressed with the girl's charms. she was obviously cute and the way she talked just melted their hearts.

"uhh i am kim myung joon but everyone calls me mj." he said with a bright smile. the boy crossed his arms on his chest and nodded as if he was the coolest guy on earth as he waited for his friends to introduce themselves. when he realized they weren't talking, he hit their heads and they all mumbled an ouch.

"come on, don't be cowards, introduce yourselves!" He exclaimed-whispered. the boys quickly nodded and started talking.

"i am park jinwoo but you can call me jinjin." the blonde guy said with a bright smile. nari recognized him from the previous day in the cateferia, that day he was rapping eagerly. she smiled and bowed.

"park minhyuk but everybody calls me rocky." the other short guy said with a wide smile. he bowed and nari did the same.

"i am moonbin." one of the tall said as he winked at her and bowed. nari felt her cheeks blushing but she bowed back to avoid his gaze. he had kitten eyes.
