Come Back To Me

⁵

   Suryeon sat their sobbing, "How could such a terrible thing happen to my daughter?" She thought, blaming herself. Yunhee comforted her, patting her back, this made Seojin feel weird. She didn't know what she was feeling at the time, but she knew for sure she didn't like the fact Yunhee was getting that close to Suryeon. After they sent everyone home, except the one staff member, they were getting ready to interrogate more thoroughly. Suryeon felt devasted, as she truly liked Jenny's mother.

  The following day at school, rumors have already reached everyone, even including the quiet kids. Jenny, the only one unaware, was getting ready to go to school. "I love you mom, I'll get going now" She yelled out, closing the door. Her mother waved to her, a few seconds later getting a phone call, notifying her she had to set a date to meet with Director Cheon of Cheong Ah Arts Foundation.

  When the time came, Jenny's mother came into Seojin's office, trying to act confused. "Please, sit" Seojin directed to her as she walked in. They discussed the matter further. "Please don't punish my Jenny, she didn't know anything about this" Mari cried out. Seojin had no intentions of bringing it out on the kids, as it would disturb studies, but she had a few solutions in mind. Suryeon let her know it'd be better to just kick her out of the Hera Club for the time present.

  Meanwhile during the lesson, Rona couldn't sit still. Other kids started spreading rumors about her and she felt bad for Seokkyung as it was taking her a bit to recover. Lunch time had come and Eunbyeol went to sit with Seokhoon, as Rona was busy consulting Seokkyung. "Hey Seokhoon I-" Eunbyeol spoke softly. "If this is about studying together I don't want to hear it, I have someone in mind" Seokhoon coldly interrupted her, not giving her room to introduce her feelings. "It's not about that", Eunbyeol stated quickly making sure he wouldn't leave. "I also have feelings for someone else" She added. Seokhoon was stunned and in disbelief she had gotten over him that fast.

  Suryeon multiply called Seokkyung to check up on her condition during her lessons, telling her she should've stayed home until she was better. Seokkyung sequentially hung up the calls, denying the matters.

  Once the situation has calmed down, Seojin could finally relax without worry. Leaving work early for the day, she decided to go back home and fix up some things there. She's pulled many all nighters this week, she doesn't remember the last time she's seen the inside of her house is. Luckily for this, her maid helps get Eunbyeol ready and feeds her. On her way into the lobby she walked towards the premium elevator; which takes you to the higher floors of the Hera Palace, waiting for the lift to come down. The doors to the elevator opened and Seojin stepped in without looking ahead, bumping into the woman stepping out. "Sorry" Seojin whispered in a rush. "I'm glad to see you're using your manners now, Seojin" Yunhee chuckled looking back at her, as Seojin angrily walked passed her in hurry.

  Yunhee drove to the AE Headquarters after her secretary let her know a nearby school needed to buy new chromebooks for their students. "Ms. Oh, Would you like me to take care of it?" Her secretary asked her as they were walking into her office. "No need" Yunhee replied as she continued her way. "Is someone from the school coming to pick them up?" Yunhee sequentially asked. "Yes, the Director themselves", her secretary followed.

   Seojin eventually made her way to the headquarters, hoping to pick up her order. "The CEO was hoping to personally hand the order to you and thank you for ordering so many from us. The woman holding the clipboard spoke attentively. "Director Cheon, this way please" Yunhee's secretary led her to Yunhee's office to sign some paperwork. "Ms. Oh will be with you in just a moment", the lady sat her down with a cup of coffee. Yunhee walked in, wearing a jet black suit, carrying a packet of papers. "Seojin? What are you doing here?" Yunhee instantaneously asked, looking down at her. Seojin, just as shocked herself, asked the same.

  After a long week of school, Jenny started packing up early and head out to the hallway to clean out her locker. Opening her locker, she felt a few papers fly out, reading "Cheater" and "Fake". The kids around her, laughing, stood and took pictures. Crying and confused, Jenny dashed out wiping her tears. Rona, who witnessed the scene, sprinted after her.

  "Jenny! Please, slow down!" Rona cried out chasing her, out of breath. They had gotten at least 3 blocks down from the school, nearing a busy road. "Be careful!" Rona called out, as Jenny had made her way passed a moving car. Falling down, Jenny gave up on running any further. Rona, catching her breath, dashed 3 steps further to get to her. She sequentially dragged Jenny out of the road and sat her down on the concrete.
