"I never thought that I'd end up hating recitations." Sihmin confesses while making her way inside the half empty cafeteria with Junghwan.

"As if you loved them before." Junghwan snorts in return causing the girl to punch his shoulder.

"Shut up, butto- what the heck is Yedam doing?" Sihmin's gaze lands on Yedam who was sitting at the table in the right most corner before she could curse Junghwan.

"What the heck is Doyoung doing?" Junghwan gasps in surprise stating the same when his eyes land on Doyoung who was sitting at the table in the left most corner.

"What the heck is Hyunsuk/hyung doing?" Both of them shriek in unison once they see Hyunsuk sitting at the table in the middle of the cafeteria.

"Would you like to have something, Dobby?"  Lia bats her eyes at Doyoung making the guy cringe internally.

"I-I'm good, noona. Thanks." He replies scooting a little far from Lia.

"No, you must eat something. It's been so long since you have spent time with me. Yuna! Ryujin! Go and get  chocolate milk for Dobby." Both of the minions immediately stand up on her order.

"No, no, no. Don't like chocolate. Strawberry will do." Lia frowns upon hearing Doyoung while the other two mean girls rush to buy milk. After all it was for their leader's ex friend and crush.

"You don't like chocolate one anymore? Must be a Suns' effect." Lia  rolls her eyes only for Doyoung to smile sheepishly.

"It is what it is now. But I don't want them to influence me anymore. Doesn't mean I'm leaving them but I want to spend time with you too from now on, just like I used to do in the past." Doyoung scratches his nape in embarrassment.

Initially he felt bad about the idea of using their friendship against her but after listening to what Sihmin said, he decided to do it for everyone's sake.

"Lia has tarnished so many students' reputations with the help of Ryujin and Yuna. It's high time we put a stop to their bullsh*t. Through this, we'll also get to know if Nori's really the same as Mean girls or she's just their prey like others."

"You wanted to say something." Yedam keeps on looking down the whole time he speaks.

"Yeah. Actually I wanted to apologize, for not acknowledging you as my ex that day." Rami bites her lower lip, embarrassed. Never in her wildest dream, did she imagine about meeting Yedam at TIAH, that too as her boyfriend's friend.

"Still even if I did, it wouldn't have change the fact that there's nothing between us." She blurts out what was being a hard to swallow pill for Yedam.

"You're right. We're nothing and what we used to be was nothing as well." He mutters, broken hearted.

"Look Yedam, I don't want to hurt you but you should know that I care a lot about Mashiho and his feelings for me. I don't want to mess them up by reopening an older chapter which he isn't even aware of." Rami expresses her feelings while Yedam stares at her coldly. 

"The last thing you said was you can't do long distance-" "I was a fool and I didn't have it in me as well. Mashiho made me realize that distance isn't an issue when two souls want to be together. I would like it if Mashiho doesn't get to know about us being exes. Let's be friends because that's all we can ever be." Cutting him mid sentence, she reasons out and passes him an awkward smile which the latter doesn't even try to return.

"What are you doing exactly, Choi Hyunsuk?" Sihmin pounds her fists on the table where Hyunsuk was sitting beside a girl with books scattered in front of them.
