Chaeyoung was passionately kissing professor Myoui, the professor closed her eyes. Chaeyoung then leaned her towards the shower wall when suddenly Professor Myoui's phone rang. She grabbed the bathrobe and immediately went to her side table to pick up her phone.
"Don't try to convince me, I won't." She said to the other line and hanged up the call.
"Whoa... Am I in the Antarctic right now?" Professor Myoui just looked at Chaeyoung. "I'm just kidding relax. So... Is that the reason why you're borrowing money from me?"
"Why are you so nosy?"
"Well, am I not supposed to know where my money would go, right?" After Chaeyoung said that Professor Myoui took a deep breath.
"Hospital bills."
"Complete details, please?"
"My mother."
"Oh, I'm sorry. Let's withdraw tomorrow so we could pay her bills."
"Withdraw?"
"Yes, withdraw. How are you going to pa---" Chaeyoung suddenly realised something and looked at professor Myoui's face. "You're not going to visit her, are you?" But professor Myoui just looked at her with no emotion.
"Let's visit her," Chaeyoung said with a firm voice.
"No need for that. I can pay electronically."
"But she's your mother."
"But I said no."
"Is there a person whom you are not indifferent?" Professor Myoui just shrugged her shoulders and went back to the bathroom.

"So, yesterday I told you to watch the movie, Romeo and Juliet. Any reaction about the movie?"
A girl in blonde curly hair raised her right hand.
"Yes? Ms Minatozaki?" After the professor called her out she stood up.
"I think it is romantic Ms." She said in a soft voice as her face turned red.
"How do you say so Ms Minatozaki?"
"Romeo died because he can't live without Juliet. A true love."
"Don't you think it's stupidity?"
Everyone in the class looked at the professor. "Do you think his decision was worth it? What if he didn't kill himself? What if there is someone better than Juliet? What if they were just caught up by their emotions?"
A girl with porcelain skin then raised her hand.
"Yes? Ms Kim?" The girl stood up.
"I think that that's just how tragic story works. There are no rooms for what-ifs because they are not given enough scenes to know what lies ahead. Romeo only focused on his love for Juliet and was blinded by that."
"Ok thank you, Ms Kim, you may take your seat."
Before their discussion end, the professor announced the class:
"Ok so for your activity, find a partner and analyze one of Shakespeare's works."
After her announcement, she hurriedly went out of the classroom.
"Hey, Son Chaeyoung." Chaeyoung just nodded at Dahyun. "She really is unbelievable, don't you think?"
"Who?"
