"Yo Mina, can you come over for a sec?" Eliza called out as class ended before their next period.

"Sure!" Mina stood up and followed Eliza outside of the classroom.

Himari looked up in confusion. "I wonder what Eliza has planned..."

"Yo Mari-chan! Wanna play some Pokémon real quick?" Denki appeared as he wrapped his arm around his best friend's shoulders.

Himari's face lit up and nodded as she took out her 3DS and open up Pokémon Moon while Denki opened Pokémon Sun.

Outside of the classroom, Eliza signal Mina to come close as she whispers an idea which made a lightbulb appeared above Mina's head.

"You're a genius! Though, I'm not sure if Mari-chan is going to agree."

"Don't worry, I'll talk to her about it later," Eliza reassures. Mina nodded and they both went back into the classroom.

"Hey Liz, what do you wanna talk about," Himari asked as she enters Eliza's room.

"Um... well..." Eliza wasn't really good at giving emotional advice but she always likes to help to the best of her abilities.

"You don't have to if you don't want... but we planned on having a little friendly singing competition when we have our little Christmas party..." Eliza hesitated.

Himari raises her eyebrows. "And?"

"And... we were wondering if you want to join in... as a surprise contestant?"

There was silence and Himari was completely surprised. It was her turn to become a little hesitant.

"You don't have to answer right away. You can think about it for a few days... if no then that's alright." Eliza waves it off, not wanting to make Himari uncomfortable by saying yes.

Himari just nodded. "Yeah... let me think about it..." and left Eliza alone.

Eliza turns back to her desk and cross her arms. "I hope I didn't offend her in some way..."

As soon as Himari went back to her dorm, she flops on the head and look up at her ceiling, staring blankly.

"Maybe I should watch some K-Drama..."

K-Drama, especially romance and sappy k-drama are Himari's favorite kinds of shows as a kid. But when it comes to them, she felt a little awkward sharing them.

She got her laptop and place them on her bed in front of her as she took out her Korean snack box from under her bed. They were still fresh and new since her mom sent them a week ago.

Himari went to find one of her favorite dramas, Guardian: The Lonely and Great God. It was pretty sappy to her but she likes it.

No matter how many times she watches it, Himari always felt a scene of relief. Something that she can cry on that no one understands.

Himari always wanted to watch it with Hanta, but couldn't muster up the courage to ask him.

As Himari started up the first episode, she suddenly memory how the series reminds her of her choir friend, Seo-Jun.

"You want to be an actor? That's so cool!"

Himari and Seo-jun were at a park as he tried to balance himself.

"Yea, I wanted to be an actor because I thought it sounds fun to be someone else. Besides I figure acting really doesn't need a quirk since I'm quirkless." Seo-jun said as he hopped off.

"Besides, you'll be here to support me right?" He reaches his hand out to Himari as she grabs his hand and nodded.

"Come on! Let's catch up with the others!"

Oh, how Himari much she misses her friends, especially Seo-jun. "I hope he's doing alright..." she thought as she continued watching the film.

She continued until 11:57 pm. Himari closed her laptop and went to charge her laptop.

She turns off the lights and tucks herself in. Soon she fell asleep.

"Hey, Himari!"

Young Himari turned and saw Seo-jun. She sadly waved at her best friend.

Seo-jun suddenly frowned at Himari's odd behavior. "What's the wrong Himari? Are you okay?"

Himari just sighs, knowing that he'll probably not like the news. "It's just..." she paused.

Seo-jun titled his head.

"I'm... moving..."

There was silence. "When?" Seo-jun asked, in a slightly harsher tone.

Himari played with her fingers looking down. "When school ends... so I still have time—"

"Why?" Himari flinched but didn't lookup. "Because... mom..."

There was silence once again. This time, Seo-jun didn't say anything. He just started walking off. "Let's go." He said sternly.

For the rest of the day, he didn't talk to Himari. He was quiet, giving her the silent treatment. Later when they went to choir,

"You're moving?!"

"After school ends?!"

Himari just nodded at all the questions that the rest of her choir friends asked her.

"Because your mom said so?" Himari nodded again, feeling a bit ashamed.

"And your dad just let her decided that?" Himari just stayed quiet as she's about to cry.

"Alright students, let's begin quickly." Later during the break, Himari told her teacher about the situation. Her teacher just smoothed her hair as she did the best to comfort Himari.

Weeks go by, Seo-jun stopped talking to her and her choir friends started to give her silent treatment as well.

Soon, the day of her Christmas performance came...
