y/n unlocked and opened the door, seeing her parents sitting on the couch in the living room. they both turned and saw her.

"finally, you're home." hyungwon said, standing up from the couch. "you brought your phone, right?"

she nodded, taking it out of her pocket. hyungwon immediately took it from her. "you're grounded. why didn't you answer any of our calls and texts?"

"i-i was at the movies with a friend, and we ate afterward. i forgot to turn my phone back on."

"you forgot to turn your phone on. what an excuse."

"i'm sorry."

"you are grounded; for the whole weekend, and you won't be hanging out with anyone until you return to school. understood?"

"yes."

her father just sighed and leaned against the kitchen counter, feeling a little guilty. "do you know why we want you to answer our texts back immediately?"

"so you know that i'm safe."'

"yes. also, when were you going to notify us that you were going out with friends?"

"i thought i could just go out and come back quickly."

"you are sneaky again, y/n."

"i'm sorry."

"don't say sorry, and you don't learn from your mistake. go to your room now."

she nodded and quickly walked to her room. she closed the door and plopped onto her bed.

"today is just not my day." she told herself, looking in the mirror in front of her. her makeup was a little smudged, so she decided to take it off.

after taking off her makeup, she walked back to her bed. she looked at her school backpack and thought if she had any homework to do. she remembered that she did it all in study hall period the day before, so she had nothing to do. she was bored out of her mind and started to look around for things she could do to keep her mind occupied.

looking under her table, she found a box. she didn't remember what was inside, so she decided to open it. inside the box contained some old memories, which she didn't want to remember.

she found pictures of her younger self with the other group of trainees, who were kwangji and them. she smiled to herself, remembering all the good memories they had together; that was the time when she learned how to do many things, such as playing pool and cards. although they weren't things she would do in the future, they were still good bonding times.

she also picked up a folded piece of paper, which she unfolded; the letter had kwangji's handwriting. she then realized that it was the note he wrote to confess that he had feelings for her.

"why would he fall for my middle school self?" she asked herself, shaking her head. "i was horrible back then, i know."

she continued to look at the photos and remembered how fun it was to hang out with them, but that all came to an end because of her. she wished that she turned back time, but it was too late now.

looking at the memories in the box reminded her that this might happen to group b, who she's been hanging out with recently.

"there's no way this will happen to the other group." y/n told herself, closing the box. then again, she couldn't see the future. "plus, i have a boyfriend. everything will be fine."
