Got Her Back

Weird

"Yah, Bae Rona! The admission test is in a few days. Do you really think you'll get accepted?" Jeni asked Rona as soon as she saw her on the gate.

"Oh, good luck. I hope you'll get in," Rona replied and headed for her room building.

"What was that? Did she just wished me luck?" Jeni asked, staring at Rona who was walking away from her.

She doesn't know too. Am I the only one who's like this? Or was it really all a dream? Rona thought.

Rona focused on the teacher's discussion while Jeni observed her throughout the class. Even when it's time to go home, Jeni kept an eye on her like a detective looking for something suspicious.

"Yah, Bae Rona, what are you up to?" Jeni asked when they're at the gate.

"What?" Rona replied after turning around to face her.

"You're planning something, right? I can sense it."

"Think whatever you want. Why don't you just focus on the admission test instead of wasting your time on me?" Rona said and then turned her back on Jeni.

"Yah!"

"Jeni! Hurry up, you have practice to attend to!" Kang Mari shouted at her daughter but Jeni appears to be distracted with something.

"Jeni?" Mari snapped at her daughter.

"Oh, mom. You're here," She turned to her mom.

"Let's go?"

"Wait, mom.. Remember Bae Rona? "

"Oh, what about her? Did she do something again?"

"She's so weird."

"Why? Weird you say?" Mari asked curiously.

"Yes! She just wished me luck earlier, mom. Weird, right?" Jeni said while shaking her mother's arm.

"That's strange.. No, don't get swayed by her. Who knows if she's up to something?"

"Well..."

"Let's go, you have to practice for the admission test."

Mari dragged her daughter while Jeni looked at Rona who was now far from them.

》CHEONG-A ARTS HIGH SCHOOL ADMISSION PERFORMANCE TEST (D-DAY)

"Ms. Cheon! You're here!" both Mari and Sang-ah shouted and they both approach Seojin.

"My daughter practiced really hard. My daughter Jenny..."

Seojin raised her hand in front of them to stop Mari from talking.

"I will judge fairly."

"Yes, of course," both Mari and Sang-ah said.

Seojin smiled at them and looked around the waiting area.

"Are you looking for someone, Ms. Cheon?" Mari curiously asked.

"No, nothing. I'll leave you here now," Seojin excused herself.

"We look forward to your support!" Mari said while bowing down and Sang-ah followed along.

"Mom!" Jeni shouted that caught the attention of the people inside.

"Oh, Jeni. What's the matter?" Mari asked her daughter while Sang-ah was curiously listening.

"She did not come."

"Who?"

"Bae Rona. Her name was called but she did not show up."

"What? No way, her mom bragged to me that her daughter will get accepted and now they're not coming? Hah, maybe they finally realized that she's not talented enough to study here."

"Who's Bae Rona?" Sang-ah asked curiously.

"Just someone. Ah, Jeni. Do your best okay? Go there now."

"Okay mom."

To the whole conversation, someone listened.

"She did not come?"
