"Good morning, Mr and Mrs Kang. Please have a seat." The principal invited Taerin's parents, her and Taehyun into a meeting room. Not long after, Jaeyong had arrived along with his parents. It had been a few days since the revelation of Jaeyong's stalking, and the two families finally agreed on a date to meet.

"Not really a good morning, when I'm here to discuss the fact that my daughter was stalked by a scoundrel who has somehow evaded suspension." Taerin's mother remarked snarkily, glaring at the boy seated across from her.

"Ah, right.... suspension." The principal stammered. "We are currently reviewing that punishment."

"Still reviewing? Wow. I guess we shall take this to court, mother." Taehyun sneered, crossing his arms.

"Please, calm down, let's talk this out." The principal tried to mediate the situation.

"Calm down? What kind of bullshit are you saying?" Taehyun slammed the table and stood up. Taerin faked a cough and kicked his leg, making him sit back down.

"Look here, Mr Kim, I understand here that Jaeyong is your nephew. That's strike number 1. Also, the school's policy states that if a student is found stalking another student, they warrant a suspension of at least 2 weeks. Considering that he stalked not one, but two students, as well as photographed them and released the photos of their private life, this is a huge invasion of privacy and warrants even greater disciplinary action. Also, this student has also released familial information without the consent from the victim, in this case, Jungwon, which has resulted in him being harrassed for it. My daughter has also been harrassed for dating the school's popular kid as a result."

"What do you want, Mrs Kang? He's just a kid. Kids make mistakes. Also, he just wanted Taerin's affection. You can't blame someone in love. Frankly speaking, that boy Jungwon isn't good enough for your daughter." Jaeyong's mother sneered at the mention of Jungwon. Taerin wanted to punch her in the face, but maintained a calm and civil composure, trusting in her mother's ability to handle the situation.

"Kids make mistakes, but mistakes should be corrected, and the kid who made the mistake should be disciplined for such mistakes, or the very least, reprimanded. But Jaeyong isn't a kid. He's 17. He's old enough to know what's right and what's wrong, and to know that actions have consequences. Also, rejection is a part of life. My daughter does not like your son in any romantic way, and no means no. If he can't take rejection, he should jump back down a few grades, shouldn't he? Simple concept that he can't understand, perhaps because of undeserved promotion?"

"What are you implying, Mrs Kang?" Mrs Park snapped at her. Taerin's mother simply smiled.

"Oh nothing, just that I heard your son is consistently at the bottom of the scoreboard yet has never retained."

"He has his sports scholarship." Mrs Park snapped at her once again.

"I see." She removed her spectacles and set them aside. "Then I propose this disciplinary action: Public apology, suspension for one month and detention for 3 months after the suspension period."

"Mrs Kang, you can't do that. The kid will lose his sports scholarship." The principal butt in. Taerin smirked, knowing where this was going.

"That's the point." Taerin's mother gave them a 'isn't it obvious' look, before flipping through a set of documents she brought. "Also, we will be filing a case for this issue. According to the laws, he may be fined or sent to a correctional facility, or both, per the victims' request, unless we settle it privately, then we wouldn't need to take it to court. Of course, Jungwon would need to be involved. Since your son isn't of age yet, don't worry, he won't be jailed."
