"She was drugged?!" Seokhoon's asked, his eyes wide open. Jenny nodded. Seokkyung smirked. "Yoo Jenny, looks like life is already punishing her for you. How convenient!" Jenny and Seokhoon sighed hearing her words. She had not expected it to work out so well for her. The longer she stayed out of their sights, the better. She glanced at Eunbyeol who also had a smirk on her face. "Although I dislike the guts of that wench..." She turned to Seokhoon, grabbing Eunbyeol's attention. "...Oppa, you must be worried. Why don't you go visit her today after school?" She flashed a fake smile while glancing at Eunbyeol whose smile had dropped. "You're right. I'll go visit her. Jenny you said you have a vocal lesson today, right?" Jenny, who had been silently sneering at Seokkyung looked at him and nodded. "Mom signed me up for it because the Cheong A Arts festival is coming up in a few months. Otherwise, I was supposed to take care of her." Jenny grabbed Seokhoon's wrist and slipped in a small piece of paper in his hands. "Rona had asked for these books. Can you take my place today and be with her?" Seokhoon stared at the piece of paper in his hands and nodded. "Yeah. I would be glad to." 

Eunbyeol clenched her fists and opened her mouth to say something when the bell rang. Hodong walked in holding a set of test papers for the exam. "Everyone settle down. The test begins in five minutes." Seokkyung watched Eunbyeol stroke her hair nervously and walk back to her seat. "I guess Rona doesn't need to be here for me to use her well." She muttered while going back to her seat. Minhyuk tapped Seokkyung's shoulder from behind. "Joo Seokkyung" She looked back with a dull face. "What?" He eyed Jenny and leaned in near Seokkyung's ears. "Are you really okay with Jenny taking care of Rona? I mean, since when were they best friends? Seokhoon also seems to be interested in Rona... R-O-M-A-N-T-I-C-A-L-L-Y" Seokkyung rolled her eyes and stared at Minhyuk. "Seokhoon is just acting according to my plan. Don't get any funny ideas." Her gaze shifted at Jenny. "...and as for Jenny, we can punish her after I'm done using Rona and I chuck her out of this school." Minhyuk raised his eyebrows. "Dang, you've got everyone tied around your fingers." Seokkyung smirked. "You better stay as you are unless you want to join Jenny and Rona on my hitlist."

Seokhoon stood in front of the mirror in his room trying on shirt after shirt. A huge pile of his clothes sat on his bed. He frowned while looking at himself. "Does it look like I'm trying too hard? But I look like I just woke up and came in the previous shirt." Seokkyung walked in with her hands folded in front of her chest. "What are you doing?" She asked eyeing the pile of clothes. "I'm going to Rona's place like you asked." Seokhoon said. "Whatever this shirt looks good enough." He muttered and grabbed the bag full of books placed on the table and began to walk out when Seokkyung stopped him. "What? Why are you actually going? I just said that to piss Eunbyeol off and it seemed to work." She smiled. "I'm so sure she bombed today's test." Seokhoon pulled his arm out of Seokkyung's grip. "Well, you got what you want. So let me go now." Seokkyung scoffed. "You can't go to that girl's house? Why would you step into that dirty place anyway? Give me those books, I'll give it to her instead." Seokhoon stared at his sister. "You were the one that drugged Rona right?" Seokkyung looked at Seokhoon. "Why do you think that?" His gaze darkened. "I saw you ask the maids to cook tteokkbokki on Monday and then you mixed something into it. You don't even eat tteokkbokki." Seokkyung frowned. "How do you always catch me? Ugh...so what if I drugged her? She didn't die..." Seokhoon closed his eyes and tried to calm himself down. "Know your limits, Joo Seokkyung. Now move. I don't need your permission to go anywhere or meet anyone." Seokkyung rushed in front of him as he tried to leave. "Um...Oppa...I didn't really think she would get that sick. If you're doing this to get back at me then don't do this. You know how much I hate Rona being around us. right? Plus, we need to study together. You promised-" Seokhoon shoved her aside and walked out. "You don't own me, Seokkyung-ah. Learn to live life on your own as well."
