"Bae Rona dropped out?"

Mirae asked in shock as Hyunsik nodded. They stood at the railing near the cafeteria like always when they wanted to kill some time. Mirae let out a sigh

"But why? She wanted to attend this school like crazy, though. Why did she suddenly drop out? This doesn't make any sense"

"I know. She probably got herself in trouble with the Hera Kids"

Hyunsik replied while taking the coffee cup from Mirae when she silently handed it to him. She tapped her feet quickly, biting her inner cheek

"Hera Kids? Yeah, that make sense"

They stood there in silence, watching the kids walking pass them with giggles and laughs. Whispering to each other about how cute and suitable they are for each other as Mirae cleared her throat, snatching back her coffee harshly as she drank them. Hyunsik snorted making her glare at him

"Are you having fun right now?"

"Sorry"

He muttered with fear, bowing his head to him as she sighed through her nose, turning her body to face the lower level that was exposed. She watched the students going inside and outside to do their works. It was recess time so the students are lingering outside to rest before going to the next class. She couldn't get Rona out of her head, though. It doesn't make any sense for the girl to drop out when she had always tried to prove her best in the school

What could possibly be the reason?

Mirae seated herself on the chair in a fancy restaurant, putting her hair behind her ear to prevent them from meddling with her vision. She stared at her phone that was displaying a black screen, waiting for Suryeon to arrive after she called her hours ago about meeting up. The woman agreed and they planned to meet on the restaurant. She looked around, watching people eating and talking to each other, some taking photos and videos for their social medias

The chair in front of her suddenly moved backward with a hand holding it. Looking up, Suryeon was smiling lightly at her as Mirae got up to greet her

"You're here"

"Yes. Should we order something first?"

Suryeon asked as she sat on the chair, waiting for the younger girl's response as Mirae nodded with a smile. They both went through the menu as Suryeon called for a waiter to take their order. Just as he walked away with the menus, Mirae looked at Suryeon who was adjusting her hair

"Ms. Shim"

She called out as Suryeon looked at her

"There's a reason why I called you here. It's about Min Seol-a"

Suryeon's face fell, immediately lighting her face with a small smile at the mention of her dead biological daughter that she never knew of. Mirae took out her old phone where she last used in The US with countless memories of Seol-a, her and Logan. She handed it to Suryeon as the woman took it hesitantly, asking in confusion
