It was raining outside. The raindrops hit the window. The room was dark and quiet. Rose was sleeping comfortably on the bed, covering herself with a blanket. The thunderstorms weren't loud enough to frightened her. Then suddenly, the phone started ringing. She groaned in her sleep. "Who the heck is calling me in the middle of the night!?" she said as she answered the call. "Hello?" she said. "You're still sleeping, little troublemaker?"

"Ray? Ugh, why are you calling me now?" she said, yawning.

"Don't you have school today? It's already 10 a.m.!" Ray said.

"Huh...wait...what?" Her eyes widened as she jumped out of bed. "Oh, I need to get ready! Eat brea-...wait." She stopped talking as she looked out the window. "What now? Go get ready," Ray said.

"YOU IDIOT! It's still not morning yet! It's still dark outside!" she said.

"No, it's morning. I can see it with my own eyes," he replied.

"Stop fooling me! You're in Korea! It's normal that the time isn't the same here!" she yelled.

"Okay, okay, no need to yell at me, little troublemaker."

"Can you stop calling me by that name?" she replied, clearly pissed off.

"Oh! Well, no, until you're alive, I will call you by that name, and you should try to get used to it," he chuckled from the other side.

"Brother, you're interrupting my peaceful sleep," she said.

"Hey! That's offensive, little troublemaker. Don't you like talking with your brother?"

"Not unless you bring chocolates for me when you're back."

"So you love chocolate more than me? So sad."

"Yes, and bye. I'm not in the mood for fun."

"Wait!! I just wanted to know, how was your first day at school?"

"...Not good."

Then Rose told him everything about what happened today, but she didn't mention anyone's name. After telling him everything, she felt a weight lifted off her heart and felt relieved. "Okay, I see. Don't stress yourself, okay?" His voice showed a bit of concern.

"I won't," she said.

"Okay, take care of yourself and goodnight, little troublemaker~" he chuckled.

"Goodnight," she mumbled as she sighed, and the call ended. But she couldn't go back to sleep. She walked towards the balcony and opened the door. Raindrops fell on her as she entered. "Ugh...loud thunderstorms...they're so scary." She quickly closed the door and lay down on the bed. Then a louder thunderstorm hit the sky. She held her ears with her hands as the thunderstorm struck. She was really scared of loud thunderstorms. She grabbed her big plushie and held it tightly.

"Rose! Wake up, it's already lunchtime," Gorya said as she nudged the sleeping girl beside her.

"Five more minutes, Gorya," Rose said.

"You've been saying this for an hour! Now wake up. I don't want to eat lunch alone," Gorya said.

"What about Hana?" Rose mumbled in her sleep.

"She's absent today. Now wake up, you sleepyhead," Gorya said. Rose groaned and raised her head. "If you treat me today, I will," she said with a smirk.

"Fine," Gorya frowned.

"Then let's go!" Rose exclaimed. Then they walked towards the cafeteria and took a seat. "Wait here," Gorya said and walked away. Rose took out her phone from her pocket. As she took a drink and started drinking, she mumbled to herself, "Let's see if I got updates about new episodes."
