Seunghee is staring at the window, looking outside the view. The train has left the station only a few minutes ago. Like what they planned a few days back, they are going home now. It's sem-break and she's travelling home with Jeonghan beside her. It's just a pity that she's still a bit mad at him because of the blunder he has made.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

The day before...

"Are you still mad at me? It's been four days. I told you I'm sorry. I told you I won't ever try to do it again. Not if you tell me to," Jeonghan complains.

They are out at the center for lunch. Seunghee says she's not mad anymore but it shows the other way around.

She's silently eating her meal. Ignoring every word he says, deliberately. Though she only keeps the anger in control.

"I'm not mad anymore okay. I'm just upset. But eventually, this will all go away so just stop talking about it," she answers calmly.

Jeonghan feels reprimanded, he's not used to her treating him like this. But he can't blame her. It was his fault. All his. So he settles down with a frown.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

It's been a while since all seven of them are together. The last time was when Jun flew for China. And today, Sehun, Areum, Sorn, Seungcheol, Jisoo, Jeonghan and Seunghee are finally altogether after a series of busy days concerning college work. The group is facing each other at the nearest bleachers of the school field, scattered all over the place. And it's peculiarly obvious that Seunghee and Jeonghan are a few meters away from each other.

"So are we up for a jam?" Sehun asks the group.

"We haven't been to Jeonghan's place, that Sorn kept gushing about the last time," Areum says.

"You're gonna love it there unnie," Sorn utters.

"There she goes again," Areum adds.

Sorn just giggles.

Then Joshua utters, "You guys have to check it out for yourselves."

"My apartment's open anytime for you guys," Jeonghan declares.

"You heard them, so who's with me? Hands up guys!" Sehun says.

"Aren't you hyper today," Areum notices. Sehun just winks at her.

Then everyone raises up their hands.

"Then we're going by 5!" Sehun exclaims.

"Time for some music banging!" Seungcheol adds.

They spend their time chatting for a while before going to their different schedules. Jeonghan can only look at Seunghee from a distance. He doesn't want to pester on her more. While Seunghee glances at Jeonghan every now and then. She starts missing him. She tries to erase her disappointment of him fast. She'll make it up to him soon.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

At exactly 5PM, the group leaves the campus for Jeonghan's apartment and they're at the place in no time. The music room that Sorn has been very fond of doesn't fail to meet Areum and Sehun's expectations. They are both very much impressed by the completeness and the variety of musical instruments.

"The only thing lacking is the recording studio. You better have one of that soon," Sehun suggests.

"That I cannot afford anymore," Jeonghan jokes. "Well, donations are gratefully appreciated."

They all share the laughter.

"Well, then, pick your gears guys. It's time to get the ball rolling," Sehun exclaims.

"I'm mostly amazed at how lively you are today," Areum utters.

"Well, we just had-" Sehun answers.

"Not a word Oh Sehun!" Areum warns because she knows where his talk is leading.

The others just chuckle. These sunbaes are really funny.

"Time for some music guys!" Areum says.

With smiles on their faces, they stand by their designated slots and get ready for the music session.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

Standing by their designated playing instruments, they sound the music.

Seungcheol:

It's like a magical feat. They all share their warmest smiles at each other. This group has somehow become a lot closer. Thanks to music, the universal language.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

The girls come out of the music room for a while as the boys are busy boasting around their favorite instruments and playing skills inside. They crowd at the kitchen, checking out what food there is to eat.

"Did you fight? It's too obvious not to notice," Areum says, just standing by the counter.

"I'm not hiding it, but it's just a misunderstanding unnie. We'll get by," Seunghee answers. She's skimming through his fridge, finding the groceries they bought together a few days back.

"It's kinda awkward not to see you beside each other though," Sorn, who's just behind Seunghee, utters. "Jeonghan oppa is like Chulsoo without Younghee."

Seunghee doesn't respond though.

"It's too early for you two. You better fix that up soon," Areum suggests. "And if you need some advice, I'm just here. You can call me anytime okay?"

"Well, I don't think I can be of help when it comes to that," Sorn adds and smiles.

"We're okay you guys. We're okay," Seunghee replies and looks down inside the fridge.

The two girls just turn to each other. Maybe she doesn't need their help, they both think. But Seunghee is looking really lonely. She should stop being stubborn, she tells herself.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

Present Day...

The train has just stopped. Finally it's their hometown. Their first time together stepping into the land of their own, as a couple. Too bad they're on bad terms, they fail to revel it gracefully.

"Seems like ages ago. Though it's just been months I was home. Alone though," Jeonghan says as he steps down the platform.

"Come on, it's too hot already. Let's hurry up," Seunghee aloofly utters.

He just shakes his head as he follows her. She's definitely on bad mood.

"When will you lift up my sentence Seunghee-ya? We're finally home together and you're still like that," he complains.

"Just hurry up and get a cab. I want to get home fast."

She doesn't look back at him. Jeonghan just sighs in defeat. Are they gonna spend the rest of vacation like this? He hopes not.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

After getting a cab, Jeonghan and Seunghee arrive at the Ohs' residence immediately. The house looks empty and it seems nobody's home.

"Looks like we don't have company," Jeonghan utters as he carries their luggage.

"I don't know. Unnie didn't tell me she's going out today," Seunghee replies.

Seunghee has the keys though so it isn't really a problem for them to get in. She opens the door and walks inside the house.

"Unnie, I'm home! And I have Jeonghan with me!" she shouts.

But silence echoes. Jeonghan steps into the abode right after Seunghee.

"Looks like she's really not home?" he asks.

"I'll call her." Seunghee calls her older sister but she gets no response either. "I wonder where unnie is?"

"Are we going to be alone tonight?" the hint of excitement can be heard from his tone.

"Don't be so excited yet. Come on in, feel at home Jeonghan-ah."

Hearing her call him with that suffix makes his smile even wider. It's been like forever.

"Right away, Seunghee-ya," he happily replies.

Jeonghan walks into the living room and settles there for the mean time while Seunghee directly goes into her room. She left her room as it is before moving to her apartment and she doesn't want to let anyone see it, more especially Jeonghan. She walks inside her room and finds it unchanged. Seems like her family didn't check or even come to her room for anything. She scans the place and finds everything in place. She's got a picture frame at her bedside table, a couple of clippings at her clipboard and pieces of yearbook pictures and a batch of scrapbook pages with memorable photos on her wall. All depicting one person, Jeonghan. She wants to show him all these, just like he showed her all his photographs of hers, but for now, that shall be put aside for next time. She pulls out her treasure box under her bed and slowly picks up the pictures one by one and put it all safely in there.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

"Seunghee-ya! Why don't we go out for a walk and grab something to eat?" Jeonghan yells from the living room.

It's almost thirty minutes that Seunghee has been in her room that Jeonghan kind of feels a little lonely already. Hearing him, Seunghee just sighs. She's not in the mood for going out yet. She walks to her door and answers him. She can see him at her door and so does he so they finally see each other again.

"Let's have whatever's on the fridge," she tells him.

Jeonghan obliges and nods, "Alright..."

Seunghee paces into the kitchen and checks out the fridge. Jeonghan follows her behind shortly. He finds her bending down the open refrigerator when he gets there. As she looks for something to eat, he stares at her in fascination.

It's the first time Seunghee has her hair up in a bun. Her beauty captivates Jeonghan once again. Her flawless neck showing from the view is just tempting. But he can't even touch her, he kicks himself inside. He settles with staring for the mean time. He heaves a sigh and sits at the counter.

"Did you find any?" he asks.

"Take a look for yourself," she commands.

He bolts up and walks over her. But he only regrets it even more, as he smells her scent. Bound with a little sweat, her fresh, floral scent fills his nostrils just fine. He wants to embrace her and cuddle her but he constraints himself. He doesn't another week of cold shoulder from her.

"Okay, it's full," he utters seeing a very complete fridge.

"Grab anything you want, I'll be back in a bit."

Seunghee leaves him just again, but it's better for him cuz it's getting hard to be near her at that time. He sighs and shakes his head in dismay as he grabs a snack from the fridge, snacking to his heart's content.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

Seunghee eats something after a moment and when she's done, she sits down with Jeonghan while watching something at the living room. They aren't talking for the first couple of minutes. They silently stay together like that, awkwardly.

Jeonghan only glimpses at Seunghee time and time again. She's still aloof towards him, it's evident enough. And he bears with it once more. So this is how she gets about when she's upset, he thinks just sighing it out. But he can't put the blame on anyone but himself., that's the hardest part.

Seunghee's silently deliberating on how to make it up to him. But her stubbornness is still kicking in and it's becoming a little embarrassing for her to open up. She doesn't know how to start.

After some time, Seunghee gets a list from her bag and gives it to Jeonghan.

"Why don't you go downtown and pick up these ingredients?" she commands.

He has a surprised expression looking at her, "Alone?"

"Yeah."

The coldness in her eyes is still there. He stares at her a bit hurt, but he deals with it. It's better than her totally ignoring him. Just when he thought they are finally okay, now it comes to this.

"Alright, I'll be back."

He doesn't fight with it or ask her why. He bolts up and out of the house quick. Seunghee doesn't even see him off, she just sits there with a heavy heart following a heavy sigh.

"What am I doing?" she asks herself.

She hasn't been herself lately. Just what is she trying to prove with disregarding him? She's not only punishing him, but also herself. She'll give him a warm hug when he comes back. She's knows she's taken this a bit too far, it's not even right.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

Jeonghan walks to the mall which is only a few blocks away. He can't let the bad mood affect him so he strolls there with a calm face and a tranquil heart. She better give him credit for doing this chore alone.

>>>>>>>>>><<<<<<<<<<

Meanwhile, a note is left somewhere at the fridge for her. It says, "Seunghee-ya, I'll be out till the weekend. But I guess you have gone back by then. I wish I could meet Jeonghan sooner. But anyways, there's still next time. Let's see each other soon! Love, Unnie"
