CHAPTER 14

The next morning, Sarang's friends woke up early and let her sleep in. Mai started making breakfast in the kitchen. "Is Sarang still sleeping?" she asked. Jiyoon, who went to help Mai, nodded. "Yes"

Jiyoon asked Mai, "Unnie, what should we do about Sarang's situation?" Mai thought for a moment before responding. "I don't think she'll be able to forget Jeemin that easily "

Jiyoon suggested, "Maybe we should set her up on a blind date?" But before Mai could respond, Jungeun chimed in.

"Aren't we rushing things?" Jungeun asked. "I think we should give Sarang some time to heal before we think about setting her up on a date."

Mai agreed with Jungeun. "You're right. Let's not rush things."

After breakfast, they decided to take Sarang to an amusement park to cheer her up. They waited patiently for Sarang to wake up, eager to help her take her mind off Jeemin.

In the evening, Koko got ready first and went to check on Sarang. She found Sarang crying silently on her bed. Koko's heart broke at the sight, and she sat down beside Sarang.

"Sarang, please stop crying," Koko said, her voice filled with concern. "I can't bear to see you hurt like this." Sarang shook her head, tears streaming down her face.

"I thought she loved me," Sarang sobbed, remembering how Jeemin had treated her. Koko pulled Sarang into a tight hug.

"It's okay, Sarang. Not everyone deserves our love. Jeemin doesn't deserve you, and I hope she regrets what she did." Koko comforted Sarang, patting her head and wiping away her tears.

After a while, Sarang calmed down, and Koko suggested they get ready to go to the amusement park. But Sarang refused, saying she just wanted to sleep.

Koko was saddened by Sarang's response but understood her need for time. "Don't worry, I'll be okay," Sarang reassured Koko, smiling weakly. "I just need some time."

Koko nodded and left the room, making sure Sarang was comfortable. When she told the others that Sarang didn't want to go to the amusement park, they all felt bad and decided to cancel their plans.

Instead, they let Sarang sleep, hoping she would feel better soon.

As the days went by, Sarang continued to skip school to avoid Jeemin. Her friends respected her decision and gave her space to heal. However, they were surprised to learn that Jeemin was also absent from school since that day.

Mai and Jiyoon were eager to confront Jeemin and scold her for her behavior, but she was nowhere to be found. They couldn't understand why Jeemin was absent, but they were relieved that Sarang wouldn't have to face her.

When they told Sarang the news, she was surprised. "Maybe she transferred to another school," Mai suggested, which made Sarang feel both happy and sad. She was happy that she wouldn't have to see Jeemin again, but sad that she wouldn't get to see her either.

Despite her mixed emotions, Sarang realized that not seeing Jeemin was better than seeing her every day and being reminded of what she did. With this newfound understanding, Sarang felt a sense of relief and closure.

The next day, Sarang returned to school, determined to follow her friends' advice. "If you see Jeemin, just ignore her," they reminded her. "Pretend she doesn't exist." Sarang agreed, feeling a sense of resolve.

A week went by, but Jeemin was still nowhere to be found. Sarang felt a mix of emotions - relief that she didn't have to face Jeemin, but also worry about why Jeemin was absent. She didn't want to see Jeemin, but at the same time, she was curious about what had happened to her.
