"Time sure flies."

It feels like I just started school yesterday, but here I am, already in my second year.

I let out a yawn and opened the classroom door. Some faces were familiar, while others I was seeing for the first time.

It seemed like some students had moved up due to changes in their rankings from last year.

They must’ve worked hard and put in the time to make it into this class.

The opening ceremony was already over, and an awkward atmosphere lingered in the room.

Last year, everyone had been more or less friendly with one another.

Except for those who stuck to their own cliques, most were quiet now.

‘It’s kind of tear-jerking. I don’t have any friends either.’

It would’ve been nice to see some familiar faces I could consider friends, but there weren’t any. I only knew people by their names or faces.

At most, I’d nod in acknowledgment when passing by in the hallway or elsewhere.

I didn’t really have any close friends in the art department.

Well, there was Hong Ye-hwa, but even that...

"Ye-hwa! Long time no see!"@@novelbin@@

And just like that, a group of girls—including one whose name I’d already forgotten—swept her away.

"Sniff."

Not knowing anyone made me feel out of place. It looked like this year, too, I’d end up sitting quietly in the corner of the classroom.
