"We both, still have to thank you again. And definitely owe you something", "I told you don't worry. I gladly did that, so you two should get along now too. And for you Ji-ah, I hope you can recover fully. And you Kyung-ja, should try to maybe find another way of dealing with problems. There is always another opportunity" Maejin told them both. "Hm, but" Kyung-ja pulled her to the side. "What will you do because of Hye-jin.. and who was that guy that knew your name earlier?", "Ah him, I dunno. Probably just some weirdo doesn't matter. And about Hye-jin... I'll take care of that too, but only for myself though. I can't promise you that she'll leave you alone too, I think you might have to get yourself away from her and this is sadly the only tip I can give you. And try to keep Ji-ah away from any bullies too. I know you can truly help, you aren't dumb, because you don't always need physical strength to shut them up. Think about their weakness first"

The guy that was Yong-suns so called friend. How did he know where I was and how did he know how I look. As soon as I remember I never showed myself to any of them. That means that I'm no longer safe in public space... also about Hye-jin wanting to find me, as odd as it sounds. I wouldn't be surprised if she did though, there is just one problem... she somehow is my weakness
"Maejin?" Minho called out "hm?", "Are you okay now? Are you Really okay?" He asked her sitting in the taxi "Mhm, I'm good" she should definitely stop lying infront of him, this shouldn't become a habit. But in fact he was probably enough worried today. "Sorry about your hoodie again... I really didn't mean to... puke on it", "It wasn't your fault after all. I mean there wasn't much time for aiming too so... like its not like it was my favourite one that I bought just few weeks ago because it had my favourite design" He mumbled the last part under breath facing the window.
Maejin gasped "But- But, why didn't you tell me this. I would've cleaned it" She insisted shocked "Forget it, it was basically soaked even you wouldn't have touched it be for real" She got real silent "but-", "It's in the trash that's what it is" He crossed his arms "But, see it positive. Now you have a new one and it isn't even, well that bad" It was black and had tweety on it. Never let a 16 year old buy a hoodie for you again was noted into Minhos brain "hey she knows whats hip. It's the new generation. You might not think so, but a lot of people would die to have this hoodie", "this won't cheer me up, you know that" She stopped talking for a moment "I'll buy you the exact one you had, okay?"
"It was a special edition-", "Minho please. Stop complaining about such unimportant stuff, you should be complaining about me instead. Stores always bring special editions out twice" She told him upset about him making such a big deal out of a cloth "Why would I complain about you" he weirdly faced her "I've been lying to you about going here and I always just do what I feel like and didn't take care of myself first. Also I won't even tell you whats up with me" she explained "mh" he hummed "so what am I supposed to do now?" He questioned "what?", "I can be mad at you if you feel better like that. I can be unpatient and blame you for not opening up enough infront of me. I can also just sit her and complain the whole day about what all you did wrong in your whole life. But would that help you? I think we all do mistakes, everyday. But as long as there is no bad thought behind them it's fine. You're just human too and I bet people already complained enough about you, including me. But feel free to tell me if you want more" He accepted an incoming phone call turning to the window. "Yeah we're on our way back"
Maejin looked at him for a moment, then down to his hand that kept fidgeting with itself. Her focus went down on her own hands that had small bruises on the knuckles from Nam-gil. She shoved them into the pocket of Minhos jacket.

"Where in the world have you been?" Maejin stopped infront of Chan slightly bowing down "Sorry, I'll explain everything to you tomorrow" She softly mumbled going into her room.
