MIN SI INHALED once more before stepping off the elevator, into Seok Kyung and Seok Hoon's home.

Into Joo Dan Tae's home.

It took everything in her to keep a calm, collected face.

She wished she could do it as easily as Ms. Lee did.

It all nearly faltered when she saw the twin's mother.

"Min Si! So good to see you, my love." She pulled her into a warm embrace, and Min Si would've found it comforting if it wasn't for everything else in her body telling her she was as much of a cheater as Mrs. Cheon was.

Mrs. Shim turned to Ms. Lee with a smile. "Are you doing well?"

Ms. Lee nodded, grinning. "It's nice to see you again, Mrs. Shim."

Min Si both loved and hated how well her tutor was at this. She was convinced if Ms. Lee grew up with the right amount of money, she could've been a great actress. "Excuse me." Min Si said swiftly. "I'm going to use the restroom."

She watched herself in the mirror for a long time. At first with a blank expression, then she morphed it into a smile. And she did it again and again.

At one point, it looked so unnatural that her smile almost looked scared. She sighed and put her face in her hands. "It's okay. It's okay. It's a thirty minute lesson. Maybe an hour. I forgot."

Min Si repeated the same phrase a few times before opening the door.

As she peaked up into the hallway, she saw, walking down the hallway was none other than Seok Hoon.

Immediately she jolted back, not holding in the yelp that escaped her throat.

He watched her with an expression that asked, are you okay? but in that judgy way in which he knew she absolutely wasn't.

Min Si's palm was still on her chest as she regained her breath. After a few seconds, she stood up a little taller and asked, "Um, what are you doing here?"

He looked at her for another second with the same expression before saying in a flat tone, "I live here."

She closed her eyes briefly. "I mean in the hallway."

She didn't have to look at him to know he was rolling his eyes. "Tutor lesson."

"Right. Uh me too."
