𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄― The Penthouse

𝐂𝐡𝐚𝐩𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐍𝐢𝐧𝐞

As Mirae was walking through the school's corridor, she came into a halt when she saw Rona walking towards her with a wide smile. Mirae widened her eyes, not believing what she was seeing as Rona stopped in front of her

"Rona, you're back?"

"Yes, Ms. Kang. I realized that dropping out is not a good thing to do. I want to graduate here"

Mirae broke into a smile

"That's right. A talented student like you shouldn't even think about dropping out. Should we go to the cafeteria? Let's have a lunch together"

"Can I do that?"

Rona asked in excitement, smiling widely at Mirae's kindness as Mirae nodded

"Of course, you're my student. Let's go"

"Yes, Ms. Kang"

Mirae put her hand on Rona's shoulder, guiding her to the cafeteria as they passed through the students and some teachers. They gave Rona a dirty and jealous look when they saw Mirae walking together with her

"Just ignore them"

Mirae said as Rona hesitantly nodded. They arrived at the cafeteria as Rona and her sat on the empty table. Mirae took out her phone and sent a text to someone

"What do you want to eat?"

Mirae asked to the student as she took out her credit card

"Can I order anything?"

Mirae nodded, smiling as Rona thanked her with excitement. As she was looking around the menu on that was displayed on the TV. Mirae kept her gaze on her, reminiscing her memories with Seol-a and her face. Bae Rona have almost the same features as Seol-a's, making her see the resemblance between them. She missed the girl

"I want the set A lunchbox. What about you, Ms. Kang?"

Mirae quickly snap out of her thoughts, forming a small smile as she looked at the screen

"I'll get the same one as well. Wait here, I'll order"

"It's okay, I'll do it"

They both turned their gazes to the man behind Mirae. Hyunsik smiled at them as he walked away to the counter

"Mr. Park will be joining us"

Rona nodded

"Sure"

  Mirae looked at Rona who was fiddling with her fingers nervously. Mirae frowned a bit

"Rona, what's wrong?"

"Thank you, Ms. Kang. You and Mr. Park always treated me like a decent student. I appreciate it"

Rona said as Mirae looked at her with a sympathetic expression. She felt her heart sinking that a student have to thank a teacher for treating her with kindness. No kids deserved that
