"Are you sure she will accept your request?", Young Soo enquired as he was strolling his phone while waiting for the bus to show up to reach school. It had been a week since the small interaction between Yerin and Won Shik.
"She should, probably. Let's wait just for another week.", Won Shik replied. "But you know that more than anyone that we don't have enough time. The principal told us to start with the auditions within a week but its already past a week now!", Young Soo exclaimed. "I know that but we need a member who can naturally adjust with our music and if its from our school then won't it be more better?", Won Shik enquired.
According to the original schedule, FULL should have started with the auditions by now but after listening to Yerin's voice, Won Shik couldn't bring himself giving up his search for Yerin.
"What are you guys babbling about?", Seojun enquired as he joined them. "Nothing special.", Won Shik replied. "Now that you said that it's not special, it seems more special to me.", Seojun smirked. "You know right whenever you make that type of a face, you seem like a big pervert.", Won Shik teased him. "Pervert?! Who?! Me?!", Seojun enquired. "Just look at this handsome face. How can you compare it with a pervert?!", Seojun exclaimed.
"Sorry for the interruption guys, but the bus has arrived.", Young Soo interrupted. "Hey! A decent reply is expected.", Seojun yelled at Won Shik as they all got on the bus.
"Are you sure you can drive?", Yerin enquired. "I'm all better now. Trust me.", Mr. Lee replied with a warm smile on his face. Mr. Lee's wound had been all healed now but the wound which had made a way to Yerin's heart had started sprouting slowly and slowly into a big scary plant. The sun which seemed to have decided to rise from the west running away from its old self, now was back into its old routine.
"You don't have to pick me up from school, I'll go to cramp school by myself. Just pick me up from there.", Yerin said. "Are you sure about it?", he enquired. "Of course, I can walk alone after all I'm not a kid anymore.", she replied. "You know better than me that this is not what I'm talking about. If you are scared that something like that might happen again then I'm there to solve everything.", he ensured her. "And you also know better than me that how much I disgust that.", she said as they arrived at school. "I'll be going, see you later, she waved him goodbye.
"Yerin!", Mia exclaimed. "Good Morning, Mia.", Yerin wished her. "Good morning!", Mia wished her back. "What did you do on the weekend?", she asked her. " Studying, what about you?", Yerin enquired. "Studying? Woah.. you really do nothing but study all the time. I went to shopping with my mom.", Mia replied as they were heading towards their class. "Shopping with mom?", Yerin enquired. "Yeah. It had been a while since she went out to shop for herself. All she ever does is buy things for dad or me.", Mia replied.
"Strange.", Yerin murmured. "I know right? I always tell her to buy things for herself but she always spends all her money on me and dad, isn't it ridiculous?", Mia enquired. "Ah right! Did you complete the maths homework? Lemme see please.", she pleaded. "Alright.", Yerin said with a smile on her face. "Thanks Yerin! You're always my life saver.", Mia hugged her.
"It has already been past a week. When are you going to start the auditions, Won Shik?", the principal enquired. "Please give us a little bit time, sir.", he replied. "How much time do you require to just start with an audition?", the principal enquired. "I'm looking for a particular student who best fits with us. It has to be that student.", he replied.
"Do you think school is a joke? When last year you guys started with the band, there was no single competition which you didn't win but this year, I'm even afraid to let you represent us because of your increasing mistakes! At this rate I'm afraid we'll have to close your club for good. I can't afford to lose a brilliant student like you because of this band.", the principal said. "Please give us the time till this week, I promise to find the new member within this time.", Won Shik said as he bowed to him and left the office.
Soon it was break time. "Urgh.. I just hate our club president so much!", Mia exclaimed. "Why? She can't be that bad?", Yerin enquired. "You don't know, she declined my assignment more than the number of times she even gave us any and she gives us five different assignments per day!", Mia exclaimed. "Is she even allowed to do that?", Yerin enquired. "She only follows the rules she makes.", Mia sighed. "My poor Mia, don't give up! I'm sure she'll accept it someday.", Yerin said. "Is that supposed to be a compliment?", Mia enquired. "Yes.", she replied. "Not sure though.", Mia sulked.
"But are you sure you won't join any clubs?", Mia enquired as they were heading towards the cafeteria. Yerin was about to reply her but she was interrupted. "Hey there, you remember me right?", Won Shik approached her. "Aren't you Won Shik of our school band FULL?! You are so handsome!", Mia exclaimed. "Thank you. Please keep on supporting us.", he said with a warm smile on his face. "Then we'll be going.", Yerin said. "No please wait!", he exclaimed. "Yeah, it seems like he has something to tell you.", Mia said.
"Then, I'll leave you two alone. See you later Yerin! It was really pleasant meeting you Won Shik!", she waved at them and left. "No wait-", Yerin said as she was interrupted. " So, what did you decide?", he enquired. "Ah.. I decided to decline it.", she said. "See? I knew it! You would join us- wait what?", he enquired. "I'm sorry but I'll have to decline your offer.", she bowed at him and left.
Won Shik didn't know what to do. Yerin's voice had become an obsession to him. He couldn't get her voice out of his mind. He himself didn't know why this was happening to him. It would have been so much easier if he didn't go to the rooftop that day. Then they could have started with the auditions. No, it would have been so much easier if they stopped making those mistakes.
He didn't have any slightest idea what he was going to do now. Yerin, who seemed to be the ray of hope in the darkness of his problems, was going far away right before his eyes.
"Hey, Ms. Keep Your Hands to Yourself!", Yerin made a pause as Seojun approached her. "You! What do you want?", she enquired with a big frown on her face. "Not you but Seojun. Since I helped you the other day, it's your turn to return the favor. Join my band.", he replied. "What?", she asked him. "Join us.", he replied with a smile on his face as he leaned towards her.
