Heejin raced down the stairs while Beomgyu ran after her.

Beomgyu: Wait up!

Beomgyu grabbed her wrist. When he realised it, he quickly let go of her.

Heejin: I can't make friends with anyone. I absolutely must not.

Heejin muttered before walking away.

Beomgyu: Wait—

Before he follow her, Mr. Kim called him.

Mr. Kim: Choi Beomgyu.

Beomgyu: Yes?

Mr. Kim: Can I talk to you for a moment after school ends?

Beomgyu: Uhm.. Okay..

After school ends, Heejin quickly exited the school building incase Beomgyu chased her again.

Yunkyoung: Jeon Heejin!

Heejin turned to look at Yunkyoung.

Yunkyoung: Me and my friends are having crepes. Want to join us?

Heejin kept her lips sealed and walked away.

Suyun: YunK, why did you invite her?

Dahyun: Yeah, you know she's just going to denied it.

Yunkyoung: I just thought.. *sighs* nevermind.

Meanwhile, Beomgyu went to see Mr. Kim.

Mr. Kim: Ah Beomgyu.. take a sit.

Beomgyu nodded and sat infront of his teacher.

Mr. Kim: Now tell me, is it because she's cute?

Beomgyu: Huh?

Mr. Kim: Oh, is that it? Love at first sight?

Beomgyu: What?

Mr. Kim: Beomgyu.. why did you involved yourself with Jeon Heejin?

Beomgyu: I just want to become her friend.

Mr. Kim: Friends, huh? But what does she think of it?

Beomgyu: She said she can't. *frowns* But still I won't give up.

Mr. Kim sighed.

Beomgyu: I'll get going.

Mr. Kim: Wait, Beomgyu.. I understand you. I do want to support you on this, but you see...

He paused.

Mr. Kim: Beomgyu, I think it would be better if I told you about this matter.

Beomgyu looked at him confusedly.

Beomgyu: About what?

Mr. Kim: Heejin is suffering from a sickness called 'Dissociative Amnesia'.

Beomgyu: Dissociative Amnesia?

Mr. Kim: Yes. You see..When she goes to sleep on Sunday night and wakes up the next Monday morning.. she remembers her family members, though but her friends, classmates and all the people she just met.. She can't seem remember them.

Beomgyu listened carefully while staring at the floor.

Mr. Kim: According to the doctor, she may have some emotional baggage concerning people. There are surely must be a reason behind why she forgets them every passing week.

Beomgyu: By that, what does it mean?

Mr. Kim: They still can't say for sure. Somewhere inside Heejin's mind, there sure some memories lingering around. However, she deeply has it hidden inside and she is not willing to touch that part of her memories. The person herself doesn't notice it because she is unconscious about it.

Beomgyu thought for a while before letting out an anxious laugh.

Beomgyu: You must be joking. That's a joke, right?

Mr. Kim: Why do you think I could joke about something like that?

Beomgyu's smile dropped when he sensed the seriousness from his teacher.

Mr. Kim: If you are thinking about what's best for her, just let her be on her own. Forcing yourself to interact with her will only bring her trouble.

Beomgyu fiddled with his fingers while sighing.

Beomgyu: I understand. Thank you for sharing this matter with me.

Beomgyu bowed and left.

After a week has passed, Beomgyu was walking his way to school. He then spotted Heejin inside the school building. He quickly ran towards her.

Beomgyu: Jeon Heejin.

Heejin turned to him. Yet he didn't say anything.

Heejin: What is it you need from me?

Beomgyu: 'You really don't remember me?' Uhh.. It's nothing..

Heejin nodded and went to class.

Beomgyu: 'So every Monday, her memories disappeared..'
