Should she go or should she not? Nara has been contemplating for almost fifteen minutes. The reason for that is her father. He's been nagging her about going to sauna as she used to like it. Her father was very happy to know that she had spent time with her friends yesterday. But he has been nagging her to invite her friends to sauna. She doesn't want to go of course, she just wants to laze around today but her father is making it harder for her to laze around. So she leaves for sauna, she'll maybe stay there for half an hour. In there, she gets into the room of Lim Jukyung, to the latter's fear. Nara notices a girl wearing glasses and has a red face. The girl was smiling at her phone. She seems familiar to Nara.

"Annyeong."

The girl glances at her and faces away. It's her friend Jukyung.

"Ah, Jukyung-ah, you are here too?" Jukyung glances up and notices her. She looks pretty, even though she's sweaty, all of her friends are pretty, whether they are barefaced or sweaty. Jukyung thinks about that sadly.

"Wh- who's that? I t- think yo- you are mistaking me for someone else."

"Wah, what are you talking about?" Nara frowns, vaguely confused.

"I'm not Ju- whoever you are talking about." Jukyung shakes her head frantically.

Nara glances down at her phone. "But you are, look here, you posted a picture of these on instagram." She replies and likes her post. Jukyung's phone makes a 'ping' like sound. "See?" She glances at Jukyung's phone looking pointedly at the notification of her like.

The beauty of their school gives in. "Yes, I look like that for real. Do- do you hate me now?"

"Why should I hate you? Is something wrong? You are acting weird."

"I look different from school. Don't you hate me for fooling you and everyone?" Jukyung fumbles with her hand.

"You don't look that different. You were glasses and your skin looks a bit different."

"So, you don't hate me?" Her eyes widen.

"Are you dumb? Hanging out with Han Seo Jun has made you dumber. Don't feel so down, you look pretty." Jukyung smiles and Nara returns it.

"Please don't tell anyone."

"Not my place, don't worry. Why hide your true face though?"

"It's n- nothing."

"...." Nara deadpans. "Seriously? You don't have to tell me if you don't want to."

"I- I used to get bullied because of my face in my old school."

"Who are they? Can you show me?" 

Jukyung doesn't, she had noticed that malicious glint in her delinquent friend's eyes. But before the conversation could go on, Chorong from their school, gets into the room. Jukyung starts walking around the room, doing light exercise. Nara understands that she wants to hide her face.

"Ah, aren't you Ko Nara? What are you doing here?"

"Same as you. You are the guy that teased Jukyung-ah the loudest, aren't you?"

"My name is Chorong. Not that guy." The bear like guy pouts.

Jukyung takes the opportunity to slip away, at least try to. Seo Jun enters the room before she can and she quickly dives into the mat and lays down facing the same direction the other three are so that they can't see her face.
