The night passed and it was morning in no time. Hyun-Jae got up before her alarm rang. Turning it off for now. She showered and changed into her school uniform. Wearing short bike shorts under her skirt like usual. Her black knee high socks and then her slippers for now.

Walking over to her small vanity in the corner. Blow drying her hair before making a braid on both sides and connecting them at the back of her head. Tying them well before placing a black bow over it as she smiled.

Grabbing her lavender sweater and wearing it over her green school sweater. Applying light lip balm before grabbing her phone and bag. Silencing her phone and turning it off. Burying it deep into her bag. Heading downstairs.

"Morning Mom. Dad." Hyun-Jae spoke up.

"No good morning for me." Ga-Eul heard as he spoke up. Already eating breakfast at the dinning table.

"Not if you eat all the food." She walked over as she got her breakfast.

"Morning you two. Remember.. do well on those exams." Jin Jong-Soo, their father spoke.

"Dad. We'll do well." Ga-Eul spoke.

"Did you two study?" Their mother, Jin Yun-Yeong, spoke as she joined them.

"Yes. We studied two days in a row." Hyun-Jae spoke.

"Mm well that's good. I'll be late from work but your father will be making dinner and I've already cleaned the place a bit." Yun-Yeong spoke.

Jong-Soo nodded before looking at the time. "Hurry up before we're all late." He spoke up as he did the dishes quickly. "See you after honey." He added as he gave her a small kiss.

Ga-Eul and Hyun-Jae let their parents have their moment before rushing to get their shoes on and walked to school since they still had some time on their hands.

Ga-Eul walked with his younger twin sister as he glanced at her. "So you and Su-Hyeok.."

"W-what about me and Su-Hyeok?"

"I have a hunch that you're dating."

"W-what? We're not." Hyun-Jae mumbled as she glanced away.

"You dare lie to your brother?" He asked.

"I-i'm not lying. I'll leave you behind if you say it again." She spoke. Picking up her speed as she went ahead.

"Hey! Wait up!" He spoke up as he caught up with her.

It didn't take them long to arrive as they were there before they could be marked late.

"I'll head in first." Ga-Eul spoke up

"Okay." Hyun-Jae spoke as she had spotted Su-Hyeok. "I'll be there in a bit." She spoke.

Ga-Eul nodded before grabbing the handle of her bag. "Give it. I'll take it in." He spoke.

"Are you sure?" She asked.

"I wouldn't have said it if I didn't mean it."

"Alright then. Thank you." She spoke up. Handing him her bag and thanking him again before he could leave.

Ga-Eul patted her back before heading into the school and made his way towards the classroom.

Hyun-Jae watched him leave before jogging to catch up with Su-Hyeok. Quietly climbing up the stairs.

Su-Hyeok was unaware of her following him as he continued to walk before stepping foot into the construction site. Walking up the steps and finding a disturbing site.

Noticing Gwi-Nam and the others while Min Eun-Ji was on the floor covering herself and Kim Chul-Soo was forced to record the whole incident.

Chul-Soo lowered the phone slowly as he didn't want to do it anymore.

"What? Keep recording." Gwi-Nam spoke as he got up before walking over and grabbing him by the collar.

"Stop it." Su-Hyeok spoke up. "Let's go." He directed towards the two being bullied.

Gwi-Nam glanced over at Myung-Hwan before letting go.

"Ah it's you. You used to be one of us Su-Hyeok." Myung-Hwan spoke as he walked over. "Don't act so innocent."

Su-Hyeok listened before walking over and helping Eun-Ji cover up and helping her get up.

"Su-Hyeok?"

Su-Hyeok was surprised to hear his name from the familiar voice. Turning his head a bit as he spotted Hyun-Jae.

Hyun-Jae glanced around as he noticed Eun-Ji and Chul-Soo gathering themselves. Noticing Park Chang-Hoon , Gwi-Nam, and Myung-Hwan glancing at her.

Gwi-Nam lowered the phone in his hand as he smirked. "What do we have here? Good to see you Hyun-Jae." Walking over as he reached a hand out.

Su-Hyeok noticed as he walked over. Grabbing Gwi-Nam by the wrist. "Don't lay a hand on her or else." He spoke. Letting go as he shoved him back a bit. Grabbing Hyun-Jae as he pulled her behind him. Walking back to get Eun-Ji and Chul-Soo to walk out with him.

Hyun-Jae helped Eun-Ji as she helped her cover up as they walked. "Are you okay Eun-Ji?"

Eun-Ji listened as she shook her head a bit.

"Come on. We'll get you out of here." She spoke.

"You look great in this." Gwi-Nam spoke up. "I wonder what your mother will say when she sees this."

"Who's friends with an old lady?" His friends mocked.

Eun-Ji pulled away as she listened. Not wanting to worry her mother with what was going on.

"Eun-Ji?" Hyun-Jae asked.

"I can't go."

"Yes you can." Su-Hyeok spoke to her.

"I can't. If I leave now.. it will be worse tomorrow." Eun-Ji spoke before walking back to Gwi-Nam and the other two.

Chul-Soo watched before walking back slowly to stick with Eun-Ji.

Su-Hyeok watched them go back in defeat before descending the staircase as he made sure Hyun-Jae followed. Holding her wrist as he made his way back to the school.

"Su-Hyeok."

"That was dangerous. It was dangerous for you to follow."

"I.. i didn't know what was going on. I saw you walking and wanted to greet you before seeing the situation. Is it okay for us to leave them like that?"

"We tried. There's nothing much we can do here." He spoke as he glanced over at her. "Are you okay?"

Hyun-Jae nodded. "I'm okay."

"He didn't manage to touch you did he?"

Hyun-Jae shook her head. "He didn't." She spoke.

Su-Hyeok nodded before letting go of her wrist. "I'll buy you something to eat because of what happened."

Hyun-Jae listened before smiling. "Deal. Let's go out to eat."

Su-Hyeok listened as he smirked faintly. "Are you asking me out?" He asked teasingly.

"W-what?! N-no way." She grew flustered at the question and heading inside first.

Su-Hyeok smiled to himself as he watched her run off embarrassed. He liked the reactions he could cause from her.

"Su-Hyeok! Morning"

"Morning." He spoke.

On-Jo stood before him with her hair down before watching him head inside as she followed him. Rushing up the stairs before standing before him.

"What is it?" Su-Hyeok asked.

"Meet.. meet me at the rooftop after lunch." On-Jo spoke up.

"I don't fight anymore."

"Do you really think I'd fight you?" She asked before turning away as she ran up the stairs before tripping. Getting embarrassed and rushing off.

Su-Hyeok watched her go confused at the whole encounter and soon headed to class.
