Eun SeoYoon
Our order came. We were about to start when one person walked behind me, and joined us. He slided chair and sat beside me. It was Seungmin.
"What are you up to?" He asked looking at me.
"Want Ramyeon? it's my treat!" I said cheerfully.
Although I was angry, yes at Seungmin! A moment I got called as an Assistant, that was my moment I only understood that I have been selected. But before that, none of them spoke clearly! I was confused and so was angered. But,
There's no way I won't t to treat you. There's always a space.
"Umm, I want it too." He smiled.
We ordered another bowl for him.
Bong and Hyunjin kept the atmosphere talktive which I joined too. While Seungmin and Ahn were enjoying the Ramen and our talks.
When we left I was the last as I need to pay. Seungmin stayed beside me. I saw he bought a chocolate and was just standing beside me at counter.
When we walked outside he gave it to me. "For you!" He said.
I shrink ! Dumbfounded ! To stand in front of my crush. In doorwarys. He giving me a chocolate. I wanted to dug my head in water in order not to show him my reactions.
I was angry on him. Yes, But I did forget about it the moment we left. Did my face showed it? But I talked cheerfully with him.
My anger was because of the session I had. Not any of them talking anything. Nor even questioning what I want to do.
And wasn't Seungmin with them? Doesn't he need to tell me everything. But then, offering a chocolate! It really made me forget I was angry. Not a little anger I was feeling.
We walked outside the restaurant. And giving a final bye we left to our roads.
Following me here came Hyunjin.
"Let me drop you!" Hyunjin asked.
"And why is that?" I asked.
"It's late. So let just..." He was about to finish his sentence when Seungmin interrupted,
"Just speak what you came for! Or I'll make sure you will drop her everyday."
"No, no! I don't want to." Hyunjin said and I looked at both of them stopping in my way.
"What is it?" I asked.
"You know! Chan Hyung did not meant assistant by assistant. We were lying." Seungmin said.
I looked at both of them. Are they making fun of me? I'm already angered. The chocolate that made me forget about it, that anger seemed to return! And did he offered chocolate as apology for what he is going to prank.
My blank expressions needed their explanation.
"Did you heard the rumor about special performance?" Hyunjin asked gesturing to walk with him.
I followed him and So Seungmin too.
"Yes, Bong told me! But there are alot of students!" I answered.
"That's right!" Hyunjin answered.
"We are having our secret special performance!" Seungmin said.
Both walking beside me, one to left and one to right.
"Secret performance?" I asked.
"Yes, the news spreaded like fire. It really. None of us talked about it. But still somehow others found out." Hyunjin said.
I was not angry, but he is testing my patience!
"The group of seven, we wanted to perform separately. As from school we five do have this special group." Seungmin said.
"And we planned.. actually changbin Hyung it was. Who suggested Idea." he added.
"Chan Hyung always wanted us to perform together. But we always had class difference." Hyunjin said.
Am I dumb? I didn't get what are they saying at all. Well I'm not! It's just my anger don't want to listen their talks.
"To say, we are having special performance in which, you are added too. And it's a secret, so you can not tell this to anyone."
Seungmin looked at me catching my attention and clearly speaking those words.
The Fogg in my head got cleared. It's a special performance. A secret one. I should not talk about this to anyone. Seven of them, the person present in the room knew about this. And no one else.
Seungmin's word acted like command. And as soon I understood I gave a excited nod. "Umh"
Seungmin smiled. "We will give you more information tomorrow. We don't want you to tell anything to Bong." he said.
"She is woodpecker you know! She will let everyone in college know about this!" Hyunjin said.
"So the thing of assistance!" I asked.
"Yeah, you have to do that too!" Seungmin said.
"Felix told me you wanted to make song of yours." Hyunjin looked at me and said.
"It was years ago!" I said.
"Let make one now. Chan Hyung knows how to play instruments." Hyunjin said
"He will help you to learn them. And changbin Hyung too, they both used to work together. For their hobby." Hyunjin added.
"I will ask Chan Hyung to let you hear his tracks." Seungmin said.
"What, they have already made some tracks?" I asked.
"Yes, Chan Hyung and Changbin Hyung. I heard Han will be joining them. He shares the same hobby." Hyunjin said.
"I thought you two don't know about Han!" I asked.
"We don't! But Chan Hyung and Changbin Hyung does!" Hyunjin said.
"He said he will make your jaw drop once you listen to him." Seungmin said.
"Oh, really?" I exclaimed.
And with talk I left with Hyunjin who dropped me at my home. My mom was outside when she saw him. She came to talk with him.
Hyunjin visiting us every weekend made my mom love him too. She always speaks to him with affection. He left after some talks.

After parting the ways,
Ahn Chaewon and Choi Bong Cha
"Hey Chaewon, did you thought the same thing when she told us she will be assistant?" Bong questioned Ahn looking down.
"I am not sure. But I guess, I was thinking the same." Ahn answered with hesitation.
"Last year, " Bong started speaking, "... That boy Chan Oppa couldn't get rid of was asked to be an assistant?"
"I know... He was forcing Chan sunbae to let him join.. so Chan nim just said him to help him in assisting!" Ahn said.
"And, he just asked him to buy him Juice" Bong spoke with burden in her voice.
"Chan nim won't be that rude to her, right!" Ahn said with same depressed tone.
"I don't understand why they don't want her. She really has good voice." Bong said.
"Have you listened her?" Ahn asked.
"Yes, we went to karaoke one time. And she sang really well." Somehow cheering up bong said.
"I'll try to talk Chan Oppa tomorrow. To let her sing!" Bong continued.
"I hope it will work!" Ahn said with somehow depressed tone but wanting to smile.
"I can't see Eunsoo to run like that boy!" Bong said with determination.
The next day Bong came school early. Standing in front of Chan's classroom. She was staring at distance. And only reacted when Chan came.
"Chan Oppa!" She called.
"Ah, CBC! Good morning!" He answered.
She smiled. With butterflies in stomach. In morning to see Chan's brightest smile. She was in moment that she almost forgot what she came here for.
And when Chan smilingly passed by her she gained consciousness.
"Chan Oppa!" He turned listening her voice.
"It's about Yoona!" She looked at his confused face.
"Eun Seoyoon! Yesterday she was with me. To participate in special performance! The other day with Hyunjin." She started to make him remember who she was.
Here Chan was confused with what about her. Which translated by Bong as who is she.
"What about her?" He asked!
"Oppa! She has really good voice. I don't know about dance but she can sing well." She said looking with pleasing eyes.
Chan nodded, not knowing what to do.
"So oppa, won't you make her join with us in performance!" She said.
Chan looked at her with confused face.
"Who said she won't perform?" Chan asked.
Bong looked at him with confused face.
Dieing inside as Chan looking so good.
"She, she said, she will be your Assistant!" She said.
"Yeah, I know ! I was the one to decide." Chan said.
"....." Bong didn't knew now what to say.
"Last year, " Bong said hesitately.
"The boy you kept as assistant..." With broken words she spoke.
Chan laughed. "Oh! That is that!" Bong looked at him confused.
"Nothing like that, I just couldn't decide what will she do!" Chan laughed as he said.
"..." Bong was staring at him. not knowing what to answer!
The boy earlier had same thing! Chan wasn't knowing what to do with him. So he said he will be assistant. And she remembered how he treated him. In other words to express, that boy was nuisance. So he was just getting rid of him by various activities.
"It won't be same with her." Looking at her he said.
"I just really need assistance so I asked for her. As you see whole list is filled. So until I find place for her. She need to manage things for me." Chan in sweet voice made sure not to make her worry.
Bong smiled. Still having her thoughts. But can not say anything as Chan already told her not to worry.
She nodded. Giving half bow she left.
Chan entered the classroom.
"Use same word again and this time you will really cause trouble." Minho said.
"Were you listening?" Chan with confused face asked.
"Remembering about last year, it was really funny." Minho said.
"I feel sorry for him!" Chan said.
"But it was Jeongin this time." Chan said eagerly.
"Kid don't know about that thing yet!" Minho laughed.
They went to sit at there place.

Eun Seoyoon
The next day, I was excited to see what's coming for me.
I get it! It's special performance. And I'm in that special team. The team created By Seo Changbin. After a lot of though I could only think about that person is, everyone respect him.
Even Mr. Chan too! And he and all the group member allowed me to join. (Crying inside)
I guess Ahn was familiar with everyone. And I thought she will be the one who will work with Chan Hyung. As giving her personality she is the one who is better at arranging and commanding.
They said I'll be assistant so I guess, they will give some of there work to me. And I'm being 'P' I don't know how I'm gonna get with it.
I was waiting for Bong. She is late today. I want to tell her but I can't. And I do really want to show off in front of Ahn. She will be shocked for sure!
Bong entered with long face. Yesterday when we parted she seemed somehow down. I called her and she smiled. Not gaining her whole strength but still smiling!
"Is something wrong?" I asked.
"It's nothing!" She said.
Half of the day passed as it goes.
Then in recess Minho sunbae appeared on door.
"Yoona, Chan Hyung called you in library." He was with Han. Who just stood up to go to him.
What these two have always to talk about?
I nodded. With smile. At least he didn't called me Noona like yesterday. I stood up and went to door. I found Bong was following me.
"Are you coming with me?" I asked with somehow irritating tone.
"I want to!" Bong answered.
"No need!" I laughed as I saw a lot of questions on her face.
"You sure?" She asked.
"What to be scared of?" I asked and made her to stay saying it will be alright.
I walked toward stairway. I stopped there. My mind suddenly went blank.
"Where is Library?" I asked to myself.
In that corner of my mind I sat down. Rethinking, did I ever went there? I was new here. Just one year. And even in that one year I never went to library. I somehow manage to complete my daily studies. There was no need to go to library.
I barely study at home for few time. Should I ask where is Library. It will be so embarrassing. I'm second year student. And still I don't know where is Library.
Someone stood behind me. Who saw through that bright window in that dark corner in my mind. I turned.
"Do you know, Where is the Library?" The person asked with quivering voice.
