WHO ARE YOU? UNDER REVISION

"Minnie, you know what? I can't believe I admired that crazy wench."

"Huh?"

"Sung Soo Ji. One of the representatives here."

"What about her?"

"That crazy wench made fun of us, and not satisfied, she even defamed Chaeyoung and Sharon unnie, saying that Chaeyoung is a cunning one and Sharon unnie is a devil."

"Are you trying to be funny? Look, Mina, Sharon is an exemplary student, and even though she only came once, the students have a lot of respect for her. Maybe if you're the one labeled the devil, I might buy it."

"What? Seriously, am I really your friend?"

"Would I say that if I'm not your friend? I know you well, Mina."

"How do you know me so well when I don't know myself?"

"That's what true friends are, you know."

"Never mind. I have changed. Chaeyoung changed me for the better."

"Chill, girl. Don't take it out on me."

"It's too irritating, you know."

"I hear you, but I hope, like me, you also expand your understanding towards them. What they went through was very intense. Being one of the participants in the Pyramid Game is no joke. You know that, right?"

"Exactly my point, but why do they keep playing it? Haven't they learned yet?"

"Hold on. Mina, what are you talking about? That crazy game no longer exists."

"What!?"

"I think they really like you, Mina. I mean class 3-5, Soo Ji's squad."

"Are you nuts?"

"No cap, they like you―a lot. That's why they welcome you like that."

"Right. They welcomed us so grandly that they almost used force on us."

"Sarcastic."

"Are you saying something, Minnie?"

"Huh? No, nothing. Anyway, why are you so eager to meet me that you even bothered to come here?"

"Oh, I almost forgot. Because of her." Mina put Kerri's student identification card on the table, and when Minnie got hold of it, she continued, "Did she come here this morning?"

"Son Kerri." Minnie looked back at Mina, as if she was expecting that question. "Yes, why?"

"Did you happen to see her face? I mean, did you notice anything different about it? Like, you know, wound."

"I heard that she did get a wound."

"Which part of her face? Eyes, nose, lips?"

"On the lips, as far as I know. Kerri's lips are said to be burst, and if you're gonna ask me why, I seriously have no idea."

"Okay. So, what Soo Ji said was true."

"Why, Mina? Is there a problem?"

"Oh, nothing. I'm just worried 'cause she's Chaeyoung little sis..."

Mina trailed off upon seeing the look of utter shock across Minnie's face.

"What the heck? They really do look alike."

"Huh?"

"There, Mina." Minnie pointed to the entrance of the cafeteria, so Mina turned around and almost lost it when Chaeyoung greeted her with a warm hug.
