“Yo SeungHyun!” Hero yelled from the sea of people behind him.

Top turned and smiled shaking hands with Hero and followed by the approaching HyungJoong and Chansung. “Donghae?”

“He said he’s coming.” HyunJoong replied. “So how are you?”  He stopped, “Oh, there he is!”

“Fine,” TOP’s short reply. He found it weird and annoying considering they’ve been spending most of their time together.

“We never thought that we’ll be here.” Chansung smiled weakly as they stood in front of the entrance of St. Claire University. “I feel strange being here.” He was frowning.

HyunJoong playfully hit Chansung’s head. “You sound just like the first day we stepped here in SCU last year.”

“Can’t help it…” Chansung replied frowning as he was rubbing his head where HyunJoong hit him. “There’s no HyoYeon look alike here…”

“Guys!” The four turned around and there was DongHae running toward them, luggage on hand. “Sorry, I’m late.” He said in between gasping of air. “Don’t you feel like déjà vu?”

“It’s been a year, huh?” HyunJoong asked. TOP didn’t respond. “So, how are you really?”

TOP stopped unpacking his luggage and simply stared at his folded shirts. He sighed and continued what he was doing. “I’m fine.” He murmured.

“Are you really okay?”

TOP looked up from what he’s doing and glancing at his friend he sighed. He sounded like a broken record already. It was starting to get into his nerves now. But he managed to reply, “Yes, I am.” in a stony face. “My studies are doing great and so with my standing on the varsity team.” He sighed. “Life is going smoothly…that’s all that matters.” He paused as his eyes fell on the letter rested in between his shirts. He doesn’t need to open it to know the content. He practically memorized every word…

Dear TOP,

How are you? I know you are surprise in receiving this letter. Writing this letter after spending the whole day with you is harder for me. Watching your back as you close the door breaks my heart, because I know it would be my very last time seeing you.
