After Rune left, Achara and Harsh looked at each other. They decided its good t head to school if they don’t want their heads to be ripped off. Achara had told Harsh about her brother already.

“Sorry about that, I kind of told him I was sick to hang out with you”, Achara said with an awkward smile.

“No worries, but you didn’t have to do that. We could have gone to my house instead,” Harsh.

“Why didn’t I think of that?! I could have seen Tara too!” she exclaimed.

“We can still skip school and go…” both, giggled like kids and headed out.

The two of them decided to take the risk of being “killed” by Rune and went off to Harsh’s house. Achara and Tara were happy to see each other. While Harsh prepared them some snacks and Tara, some dog food, Achara was in her world. After a while, Tara went to sleep.

“So tell me something about yourself. How was your life in Thailand?” harsh asked.

Rune had reached school and went to class at that time. Kwan was waiting for him in the corridor,

"Why are you coming so early?" He asked sarcastically.

"I'm sorry, Achara was not sick, she was in fact with a boy", Rune said. It sounded just like what a conservative parent would say.

"Let her be. She is not a baby", Kwan said.

Their class started. Kwan was playing a piece for a demonstration for the freshmen. Rune had to collect names for the freshmen wishing to enroll in their tennis club. He couldn't believe a year had passed already. It seemed like it was last week that he met Kwan. He smiled to himself thinking about the classes they had together. He saw Jisoo practicing.

"Hey senior, how are you?", Rune asked. He had taken a year off to finish his military service. All the while he was gone, Rune took care of the club. But it was more like a place for a date for Rune and Kwan.

"Hey junior, I'm back! how are you? Is Kwan still horrible at holding the racket?" he jokingly asked.

"I trained him a lot, we practiced together you see", Rune said knowing that didn't happen.

"excuse me, I wish to join the tennis club", a freshman student told Jisoo.

"You can go give your name to him", JIsoo said pointing at Rune who was in the court.

The junior went up to Rune and said," Senior I'm here to join the club".

It was Pete!!

Rune pulled him by his arm outside the club room and asked: ", what are you doing here?"

"the same thing as you. I'm here to study", he said expressionlessly.

Rune, for some reason, trusted him.

"I'm trusting you. For your brother, I will trust you. I knew how much he loved you", Rune said. One could tell how close both of them were. Back when they were small, the four of them would be the highlight of their town. They would meet up in the morning, Rune, Achara, Pete, and his brother, Kiet. 

Rune and Kiet went to the same preschool and were good friends. His mother hated her children having fun with other people. It was proved when she was arrested, that she has depression and anti-social disorder. she was not in a sound mind. So she killed Kiet one day when he was playing outside with a puppy.

When Rune found out Kiet died he was devastated. Furthermore when It was revealed it was his mother who did it because she didn't want Rune to hang out with him devastated him even more. He wouldn't eat for a week after his mother was jailed.

"I'm equally angry at my mother for what she did. He was my best friend", tears started brimming his eyes as he spoke to Pete.

"Our mother had told us not to be with your psycho family, if only Kiet listened, he would've still been alive", Pete was sorry for Rune but at the same time, he was even more sorry for his brother. He knew how close the two were. It was a happy time, he thought.

"Okay I got to leave, if you want any help call me on this number", Rune said as he wiped his tears. He was honestly happy to see him las time. He looks so much like his brother, he thought.
