Hye-wol sat closely beside Nam-ra, wrapped with a blanket while her knees were pulled up to her chest, her arms were wrapped tightly around them and her head leaning over Nam-ra's shoulder. Su-hyeok move to stood beside her, leaning over the fake wood cabinet while his hand slightly pat the girl's shoulder as if comforting her.

The pain on her head was still there but it faded from pounding to pulsing. She's staring at the distance, completely tuning out the fight that Ms. Park trying her best to pacify. She's too tired--- mentally and physically drained.

Through her pain clouded mind, she had a deduction of what's truly happening to her. This universe were already fixed but due to her interference, she's suffering mentally and physically. The electricity happens whenever she tries to change the continuity while the pounding of her head happens whenever the continuity finally shifted. The more crucial plot that changes, the harder the consequence she would face.

"Did you really said that? You promised that you're going to apologize," Ms. Park exasperated, arms crossed on top of her chest as she scolded Na-yeon who stood at the middle of the room, eyes watering which contradicts the brave face she puts on.

"That's not what I've said, Ms. Park. He's lying!" Na-yeon pointed to Gyeong-su who sat on the ergonomic chair that was pushed on window. She's scared---- nearly traumatized even at what that welfie had did to her 3 days ago but the world's fucked up already, what could she lose?

"Why? What did he said?" Joon-yeong challenges her, a dark glint flickered on his eyes but since he's wearing eyeglasses, it could pass as reflection of light.

"He..." Na-yeon didn't know how she would put the extreme rage brewing inside of her into words but her eyes sharpen when her hand accidentally brushes her wrist, "You're all deranged!" she yelled, pointing at all of them.

"Na-yeon, what are you saying?" Ms. Park asks her when she notice how the lass tremble on her spot.

"Ms. Park, I didn't blame him for all of the stupid things happening to us right now. I'm mad but I'm not that shallow." Na-yeon tried to explain but she found herself lost of word.

"But that's what you're showing to us," Ji-min butted in, "You only think about yourself. You said to close the door before anyone could get in. You said it would be safer for us. That's not right."

"You guys are really stupid," Na-yeon scoff, "You let yourself got manipulated by their tricks!"

"Na-yeon!" Ms. Park scolded her but the lass turn to the professor, almost begging her.

"Ms. Park, they're obsessed," she blurted out, turning her heels to look at Hye-wol who's not even looking at her.

"Hye-wol..." she gulped, feeling the glares directed at her, her heart beating fast and she nearly chickened out if it wasn't for her cousin being at the middle of the most dangerous duo among them, "They're plotting something to get you. They've been monitoring you--- each of your movements. They're watching you and I tried my best to remove the cameras but they're always finding a way to bring it back."

"Na-yeon, what are you talking about? What camera?" Ms. Park is so confused at what she's saying.

She look at the professor, "I've heard them talking about how they put cameras on Hye-wol's room and how they hacked her phone. They're obsessed with her, Ms. Park and that's not the only thing they've did," she turn to Gyeong-su who looks suspectingly calm than what she had expected. Did she take a wrong move? Did she walk right on their trap?
