"Guys please, tell me more.. about Sandeul and the girl that he's always with.."
Everyone started looking at each other and then all eyes were on Jojo since Jojo knew Bibim the most besides Sandeul. Jojo looked at Soo Am and smiled weakly thinking back all the days when Sandeul and Bibim were together.
"You mean Bibim.." she spoke. Soo Am nodded and looked at everyone. "Bibim... thats right. She's the one who looked so much like me," she murmured. Then, Baro started to butt in. "To Sandeul, she's someone very special," everyone nodded when Baro said that. They knew how much Sandeul cared for Bibim and how much he's willing to sacrifice for her happiness. "Soo Am.. its probably gonna take some time for him to get use to be around you. So I hope you're prepared for the worst or the better," Jojo continued. Soo Am nodded and got up from her seat. She fixed her hair and started to approach for the exit.
"Where are you going?" Baro asked her. Soo Am turned her head to everyone else and carved a smile for them. "I'll be back before the next period. Cover for me if I don't. Bye!" she waved everyone goodbye and set off to continue her intention. Nobody knew where she was going nor what she's up to. But they had a feeling that she's going to do whats right. Hopefully so.

Soo Am searched around the entire school for someone, for Sandeul. She wanted to apologize to him for being rude towards him earlier and she kinda felt guilty after her classmates had told her why he was acting like that. He's heart is probably aching right now. Its hard, she understands him. Losing someone they cared so much hurts a lot. It sucks being the one who stays. It was kinda a task for her searching for Sandeul since she just got to that school and was still trying to fit in. She doesn't mind though. As long as she could make peace with him, then walking a thousand miles won't matter.
Fate was probably on her side that day 'cause she finally found him. And it was pretty unpredictable that he would be there. He was at the school building where people rarely stop by. She didn't revealed herself immediately. Instead she tiptoed. She noticed that Sandeul was holding a white rose in his hand and was stroking the petals softly with his fingers. There were so many white roses planted to where he was. After gathering all her will, she walked up and tapped his shoulder.
"I didn't know guys like white roses," she said. It wasn't meant to sound like an insult and she hoped that he didn't take it in a wrong way. Unfortunately he did. And he seemed pretty irritated.
"So what if I like white roses. Whats it to you?" he hissed. Soo Am didn't take it seriously. After knowing the ugly truth behind his frown, she knew he would treat her that way. Especially when her face looks a lot like the girl he lost. "I have nothing against you liking them. Its just... rare, you know. Guys don't usually show their interest for these kind of things," she tries to explained, praying that he would understand what she's trying to say.
Sandeul had calmed down for a bit and continued to admire the roses that was in surrounding him. Soo Am was playing with the flowers too, just to avoid herself from being awkward. Sandeul realized what she was doing. "Just be careful you don't ruin them," he warned and looked away. Soo Am smiled and was pretty relieved. Two minutes ago he acted like she wasn't even there, and to see him starting to give communications with her is already enough to make her feel comfortable around him. "Hey, Sandeul.. why do you like white roses so much? Well, that is if you dont mind telling me.." she asked him. Obviously he didn't give her an immediate answer. Instead he looked up in the sky and just stayed like that, absorbed in thoughts.
"Its a funny story, really..." he started to speak.
