The announcer's flat voice resonated across the busy morning platform. Locked briefcases and empty grocery bags shuffled in the crowd, bumping against each other. Their owners ignoring expected apologies as they rushed to board the trains to their destinations. Unruly school uniforms, ran like athletes, their blooming youth gaining envious stares and retorts.

Sauntering with her own steady pace, a tall girl was too familiar with her path to look where she was going. With her nose buried in a comic, Haneul paced smoothly towards the pole where she'd always wait for the train. Only ten more steps, till she'd get to lean her body on the metallic .

THUD!

Her book flew in the air as she unkindly landed on her bottom.

"Ow!"

"You should have seen where you're going!"

She looked up only to catch a glimpse of a lanky boy in uniform, rushing past her. Not being the kind to curse at someone out loudly, she drew a deep breath and began looking around for her favourite comic.

"Is this what you are looking for?" A calm voice laced with an apologetic tone, reached out to her.

As Haneul raised her head to see who it was, the first thing in sight was a hand with gentle fingers and a soft palm. She took it hesitantly. The schoolboy helped her get on her feet and handed her the comic.

"Are you hurt?"

Hanuel shook her head, dusting off the ironed pleats of her school skirt.

"I'm sorry about my friend. He's a bit of …. ill mannered." There was a pause, most probably a search for an appropriate word to describe the said person.

He had a kind face with a nose which immediately grabbed Haneul's attention. It looked like someone had been pinching it eternally. She thought it was cute but immediately pretended to shuffle the pages of the comic, when she realised her sprouting blush.

"Its okay."

He chuckled in relief before bowing to her and making a dash after his ill mannered friend, yelling at him.

"YAH OH SEHUN! YOUR GIRL'S NOT GOING ANYWHERE. SLOW DOWN!"

Looking over her shoulders, Haneul's blush intensified.
