EUN-WOO "If you stay positive in a negative situation, you win…" Tomorrow will be Chereen's birthday… which is also the 4th year anniversary since her death. I took half a day from working at the company before heading straight to SADI, a few minutes before lunch. Nana kept on bothering me in our group chat to attend the pointless orientation event, that's why I had no choice but to come. Since I haven't had lunch yet, I went straight to the cafeteria to meet up with them. They already ordered their lunch and I was the only one left with nothing to eat. There are a lot of students lined up at the service station, that's why I decided to wait for them to finish first. "So, what's our plan for the orientation later?" Myung-soo opened up. "A group activity should be included to help our freshmen form a bond." "I think so too. It should be exciting as well," Nana said. "The activities should also be the way of making friends and building trust, don't you

ISLA"When the past becomes the present, you’ll lose the future…"Since I was in the corner near the wall and windows, there happens to be a vacant seat on my left side. That’s where Eun-woo was sitting now. But, why would he even want to sit right next to me? Isn’t he supposed to be a loner?While he was busy taking out some stuff in his bag, I noticed the majority of the students inside the room looking at us like we were some kind of couple. It’s making me uncomfortable. I looked to the front and re-focused myself on what I was doing earlier.“What do you think you’re doing?” My voice was just above a whisper so that it was only him that could hear what I was saying.“What do you mean?” He responded to me with the same volume of voice.“It doesn’t matter. Just don’t talk to me,” I told him.“You are good at drawing a cherry blossom tree,” I heard from him. “It is strangely beautiful.”I can’t believe he’s still talking to me even though I alre

EUN-WOO"You're my one in a million, you're more than a billion…"SIX YEARS AGO“Eun-woo,” she called me. “Promise me that one day, you will bring the most important person in your life to an ice skating rink.”I smirked after listening to what she said. “And why?”“It is believed that if you walk on ice in a dream, the dream could indicate taking too many risks and jeopardizing the person’s safety in some way,” she explained. “So, I want you to be there to protect whoever is walking on that ice.”“That's ridiculous, Chereen.” I scoffed. “And who believes that?”“I believe in it.” I glanced at her and she was just staring at me. At that time, I thought she was fooling around with what she was trying to tell me. Little did I know, she was being serious… which happened to be one of the signs of her leaving.“You believe in what I believe in too, right?”PRESENT TIMEHere I am now, stand

ISLAQuietness surrounded Ji-hoon and me while staying inside the office in SADI. It’s a good thing he didn’t even care about why I came here out of the blue because there’s no way I would tell him about my dream which included Eun-woo in it. He might find it weird and think of me as a pervert.When the time for the class was already finished, I put back the tablet inside my bag and cleaned up. Then, I took out my pastel-colored cardigan from the bag before wearing it since the wind is cold during the night.“Are you going straight home now?” I heard Ji-hoon ask me.“Yes. My mom asked if I could help her prepare the dinner for tonight,” I replied. “How about you?”“I’ll be home late. I still need to do something regarding the university’s financial reports submitted by the accounting officer for the last three months,” he explained.I put down my bag on the sofa as I tried to approach him on his desk. “Does that mean you won’t be able to join us for dinn

ISLAMy hands are shaking in the middle of looking at my phone. I'm late for the class since thirty minutes have passed after the embarrassment that Min-hyuk caused me.“Isn't this just marvelous?” I questioned as I glared at him.“I told you I didn't do it on purpose. I wasn't trying to peep at you,” he explained. “I was just there because Lav was called by the professor and she asked me to bring you what you needed.”“I think you should still apologize, Min-hyuk.” I heard Su-bin.“I’m sorry, Isla. Believe me, I wasn’t trying to be a pervert. I hope you won’t think of me like that just because I apologized to you,” Min-hyuk continued explaining.I let out a sigh as I turned my head down on top of the table. I wanted to go home…“OMG, OMG!” We got distracted after hearing someone screaming and running, only to see Lav doing it. She rushed towards us before catching her breath.“What happened? What did the profes
