little Yeonjun walks on the shore since he is not allowed inside the room where his parents are having a meeting with the other professionals. he should have stayed home but since his mother need to be in the meeting also, and no one will look after her son, she just tag him along. but unfortunately, kids are not allowed inside the office.

❝❞ he murmured to himself while lightly kicking the sand. his attention suddenly got caught by another boy who is playing with the sand while humming a song, which probably a kids song.

Yeonjun walks towards him. ❝❞ he uttered making the kid startled.

the kid glanced at him then quickly looked at somewhere as he is not used at talking to some unknown kids. ❝❞ he stuttered then continued playing with the sand.

Yeonjun giggled by the kid's cuteness. he find it adorable when he speak to a ramdom kid then they will get shy to him. ❝❞ he asked and pointed the small room not far away from them, which made the kid diverted his eyes to where Yeonjun is pointing before humming and nodded his head.

❝❞ the kid muttered but a little loud enough for Yeonjun to hear it.

Yeonjun hummed then played along with the kid. ❝❞ he pouted, making the kid glance at him then continue playing again. ❝❞

❝❞ Yeonjun titled his head. the kid shrugged and didn't speak.

minutes of silence, the little Yeonjun tried to think about what he should tell. suddenly, a question came inside his mind. ❝❞ he excitedly said then sweetly smiled, making the kid got even more shy.

❝❞ he spoke which made Yeonjun nodded. he was about to speak again but his mother suddenly called his name and caught their both attention. ❝i need to go now.❞ Yeonjun stood up and was about to run but the kid quickly hold his shirt making him stop.

the kid glimpse at Yeonjun's confused look then look down. ❝❞ he uttered, making Yeonjun chuckle. ❝❞

❝❞ the little kid asked. Yeonjun was about to say yes but he don't want the kid to be sad. his eyes drifted to his bracelet which made him an idea. he immediately removed it as he heard his mother called his name again, and gave it to the kid. ❝❞

Yeonjun's lips curved into a smile seeing the kid smile also. ❝❞ he spoke before running away.

❝my name is..❞ the kid stopped speaking as he realized Yeonjun won't hear him. ❝..Soobin.❞ he mumbled then drifted his eyes on the bracelet that he is holding.

Soobin's eyes widened seeing Yeonjun in front of him while holding the bracelet that the older gave a decade ago. ❝❞ Yeonjun furrowed his brows then awkwardly smile.

❝❞ the younger lad muttered and looked away as he felt his heart beating faster as if it wants to win a marathon. Yeonjun's heart is also beating faster than it's normal pace but he need to stay calm.

the older took a gaze on the bracelet again before giving it to Soobin. ❝❞ he uttered. Soobin was about to speak again but the bell suddenly ring which means after lunch classes is about to start any minute by now.

❝❞ Yeonjun said and run towards the stairs. they can actually walk on the stairs together but the older thinks it will be awkward and he need to process what just happened. i mean, he didn't expected that the kid he saw a decade ago will actually keep the bracelet that he gave and will value that moment. Yeonjun thought that it was just him who is hoping that one day they will meet again.

while slowly walking towards his room, he suddenly thought if Soobin already knew that it was the Yeonjun that he met a decade ago and the Yeonjun that accidentally spilled a juice on his pants was actually the same person. because, as he remember, the younger didn't pick a fight with him.

❝❞ Yeonjun came back to his senses after he heard Yeji spoke beside him. ❝❞ the girl planted a smirk as he is teasing the lad which made him chuckle then shook his head.

❝❞ he uttered.

their professor walk inside their room which made the whole class stood up and greet him. after greeting him, the professor made them sit down and started the lecture for the afternoon.

as soon as the bell rang for the students to take their time in studying, Soobin quickly put his things inside his bag and walked outside their room. he pulled his phone from his pocket and messaged Huening Kai where will they study.

he stopped his tracks when he got on the stairway. he's thinking that he should wait for Yeonjun to go down and talk about some things or he should just go down and not wait for him since he will see him on their group study.

❝❞ Soobin mumbled to himself. he let out a sigh then shrugged before going downstairs. as what the younger lad replied to his message, they will study in the school café which made him walk straight there. the café will probably be quiet since this time is study hours for the final exam and no one is allowed to make disturbing noises.

when Soobin went inside the school café, he scanned his sight around to find the three younger lads. he was expecting that Yeonjun won't be there yet but as he saw where the younger three are sitting, Yeonjun was already looking at him which made their eyes met.

Soobin quickly looked away and went to the counter to buy some bread and a bottle of water for his way of studying. maybe this is the reason why Beomgyu decided that they will study here, for eating is not allowed inside the library.

after buying, he slowly walked towards where the four are sitting. Yeonjun took a glance at him then made his gaze back on his book.

the tall lad don't know why he is feeling nervous as he step closer to their table. his heart is beating faster than its normal pace. he somehow want to walk away and study alone but Huening Kai suddenly noticed him. ❝❞ Huening Kai called his name which made him snapped out of his thoughts.

Soobin blinked thrice as his senses are normally coming back then smiled at the younger. Huening Kai tapped the available chair beside him making the older quickly walk and sit there.

Yeonjun silently move his sight to Soobin who is getting his books from his bag then to the food placed in front of the younger. ❝❞ he muttered to himself then gaze back to his book.

apparently, Soobin heard the word he mumble which made him look at the older. ❝❞ he asked and move his bread slightly in front of Yeonjun making him startled.

❝❞ Yeonjun awkwardly chuckled and declined Soobin's offer. he didn't knew he said that a little bit loud.

Soobin just nodded then move his bread in front of him again. as he put his bag on his back, something fell off from his pocket and landed on the floor. Huening Kai noticed it, ❝❞ he uttered then picked up the bracelet.

as Soobin was about to get it from the younger's hand, Beomgyu quickly glance at it then snatched it from Huening Kai's hand. ❝❞

❝❞ Taehyun uttered which made Beomgyu pouted. he was about to give the bracelet back to Soobin but his attention suddenly caught by the name written on it. ❝❞

❝❞ Beomgyu said and looked at Yeonjun who is now awkwardly smiling. ❝❞
