WHO ARE YOU? UNDER REVISION

11:29 A.M, Lim University

"Uhh... guys..." Chaeyoung said hesitantly as she and Mina were ushered by the squad towards the cafeteria to see Mina's friend, Minnie.

"Just say it, Chaeyoung. What are friends for?" Soo Ji reassured with a smile plastered on her face.

"Um... That girl named Seol Ha, are you guys sure she's okay? I mean, her fist, I'm sure it took a lot of damage."

"You have nothing to worry about, I guarantee you that Seol Ha is fine," Soo Ji assured.

"Definitely," Ye Lim agreed, glancing at Chaeyoung's plastered fist. "But Chaeyoung, shouldn't you be worrying about yourself, not Seol Ha? Seol Ha told me that you seem out of shape."

"I beg your pardon, could you please repeat what you just said, Ye Lim-ssi?" Mina chimed in.

Ye Lim looked at Chaeyoung, whose head was now bowed, and chuckled in disbelief.

"Maybe it's better if you hear it from Chaeyoung, Mina-ssi."

"But Chaeyoung won't tell me."

"Is that so?" Ye Lim turned to Chaeyoung, and thought to share something she and Eun Jeong went through. "You know what, Chaeyoung, the day our class was a mess, Eun Jeong got injured, really bad, when I found out about it on her couch, I was so angry, that I attacked that person, to make her pay, because that almost ruined Eun Jeong's career. But Soo Ji stopped me and told me to let her destroy her in pieces, and Soo Ji did, Kim Da Yeon was expelled a few weeks later."

To be honest, deep down, Ye Lim understands Chaeyoung and Mina's situation. Sometimes in life, people don't know how to explain their problems in simpler terms, especially in the case of Chaeyoung who suffers from DID. They fear that if they talk, people will get to know that they are not happy and then ask several questions which they do not want to answer at all. Talking about their issues means they are wrong, and no one enjoys being wrong. On the other hand, as someone who cares about Chaeyoung, Mina must be worried for her, just like how Ye Lim worried about Eun Jeong's condition before. It's really worrying when the person we love is in a bad situation.

"I thought you were friends, so why did Da Yeon do that evil thing? And one more thing, if she was expelled, how come she was still able to study here?" Chaeyoung asked, seeming to be interested in the conversation again.

"Well, that's because of your triplet Son Kerri," Soo Ji was the one to answer, "Actually, we're the reason why this university changed its name to Lim, it used to be Im, but because of Ha Rin's creation, which is a strange voting, called Pyramid Game, where our class is required participate, it was changed to Lim University."

"Oh. I did hear that, and that's actually the reason why you, Soo Ji, are my role model," Mina chimed in.

"I'm honored, especially since it's coming from you, Myoui Mina," Soo Ji thanked with a smile on her face.

"Whoa, that's a big achievement for our Soo Ji," Ye Lim commented, which made Soo Ji chuckle.

"So you know what the Pyramid Game is, Mina-ssi?" Eun Jeong inquired.

"Obviously, yes. That crazy game. Who doesn't know the game that rocked everyone?" Mina shook her head, still unable to believe that such violence existed in a university.

Soo Ji chuckled at Mina's reaction, "But Mina, did you know that to this day that game still exists?"

"What!?" Mina exclaimed in shock. "You're just kidding, aren't you?"

Soo Ji shook her head, "I'm serious, but it's not like before. If it used to tear us apart, now it binds us together."

"Hold on. What about grade F?" Mina asked. "As I recall, Da Yeon mentioned this earlier."
