As Kang Ha walked out of his house with a piece of bread in his mouth, he came to an halt as a white Rolls-Royce car stopped in front of him. The window of the back seat slid down as Aeri came into view.

"Huh? Aeri?" Kang Ha couldn't help but smile at the sight of her.  As they looked at each other, Aeri chuckled," What are you doing? Don't just stand there. Get in already."

As the car moved towards the school, Kang Ha glanced back now and then at his cycle tied securely at the back of the car.

"Stop staring at it. It won't fall off." Aeri said as she remained conflicted while staring at the last chat she had received.

Kim Ri-an.

It was Kim Ri-an's chat.

He had last messaged her," I am loaded with a tight schedule, but all I can think of is you."

After that, neither did he receive her calls nor reply to her messages. She sighed.

As Kang Ha felt her sigh, he asked her," What's wrong? You seem worried."

She looked up from the phone as she shook it off saying it was nothing just some case article she was reading about.

She might have fooled anyone with that shrug and smile, but this one didn't fool Kang Ha. 

He suddenely neared his face to hers, as he studied her face.

She flushed as she looked away,"What are you doing?'

"And I, thus conclude something is bothering you." He said as he again sat back properly. Aeri nodded this time.

"Let me guess." Kang Ha said. "Something related to Ri-an." 

Aeri widened her eyes as she looked at him surprised. "What are you? Some sort of mindreader. Her mind flashed back to when the dead boy Kang In-han had done the same thing and she had spoken the same thing.

She felt fingers intertwined with hers, as she was pulled back to reality. Kang Ha sat beside her, as he gave her hand a small squeeze.

"Don't worry~ I am here for you." 

His words assured her as she felt comfortable for the first time after Kang In-han's death. She looked out of the window as she couldn't help but smile out.

"I am not alone this time. I am with Kang Ha." She thought as she drifted off to sleep.

Aeri woke up as a soft voice called out,"Aeri." She rubbed her sleep filled eyes as she found her head on Kang Ha's shoulder. She hurried to remove her head from his shoulder, but he layed a firm hand on her head pulling it back down onto his shoulder.

"It feels good." He said. "We're almost school so I thought I ought to wake you up." 

She nodded as she checked the time. 

"About last time.." They spoke up together as they laughed out. 

"You say it first." Kang Ha initiated. Aeri took a breath as she urged Kang Ha to go first.

"Well, about last time, thank you for saving me. I was almost expelled." He breathed out. 

"No problem. It wasn't your fault. I invited you in the villa." She said as Kang Ha jolted up.

"I remember something. The school has the picture of us kissing that day." Kang Ha informed her as she widened her eyes. "What the hell?!"

The car stopped as Aeri shot out of the car, with Kang Ha following close behind.

"How the hell  the school get hands of this kind of shit?!" She muttered under her breath. Jae-i and Hera saw her and wished her a 'hello' but she walked straight past them. 

They felt offended. "What is she up to?" Hera said as Jae-i shrugged.

Aeri slammed open the door of the cabin of Miss Han. She flinched as she stood up from her seat.

"What the fuck, Miss Han?!" Aeri shouted at her. Miss Han shouted back,"What the hell do you think you are doing, Miss Kim Aeri!?"

Aeri scoffed. "How the hell did the school sneak up spies on Kang Ha?! How the hell have  photos been clicked of me and Kang Ha?"

She almost picked up the pile of papers to throw at Miss Han. But her hand was tightly held by someone as it was twisted and pulled back.

She winced in pain and to her horror Woojin stood in front of Miss Han, protecting her.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" He shouted at her and he checked if Miss Han was okay. Aeri felt her heart break. She heard her heart shatter.

"Woojin-"

"What the fuck DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING, KIM AERI?!" Woojin shouted at her on top of his voice as she scoffed in disbelief as tears started forming in her eyes.

"So, this is how slutty you are." Aeri said to Miss Han opening her phone and showing the newly received photo of Woojin and Miss Han making out. Woojin's eyes flared up and he walked towards her as if to hit her. But then a hard punch landed straight on his face.

Woojin was held roughly by his collar by none other than Kim Ri-an!

"WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING, LEE WOOJIN?!" Kim Ri-an punched Woojin hard on his face. He kept punching him until Aeri broke off the two.

"So, this is how it ends Lee Woojin." Aeri said tears rolling down her cheeks as Woojin looked at her pleadingly as she walked out. Kim Ri-an glared angrily at Woojin.

"I didn't expect this from you." Ri-an said disappointed as he walked out to catch up with Aeri.

Woojin looked down in guilt and embarrassement. Miss Han tried to assure him but was immidiately shoved and held in a chokehold.

"You're always the main problem. Don't you dare show me your face again!" He growled as he walked out.
