Ji Hyo spots Jae Suk walking out of the school while she is on her way out of the school building, ready to go home when Kwang Soo catches up with her.
"Noona. Are you going home already?", he asks.
"Yes. ", she says.
"Walk me to the hyungs for a while. ", he demands, placing his arm around her shoulders and leading him to the back garden before she can refuse.
"Yah! Let go of me! ", she says but Kwang Soo refuses.
They come at the back garden and see the others gathered in the same bench that they stayed on the other day.
They are talking about something anxiously.
"What's the fuss about? ", Kwang Soo asks, head-locking Ji Hyo as she tries to escape.
"Jae Suk hyung seems to be upset at us. ", Gary answers.
"Why? ", Kwang Soo asks.
"He'd been pretty silent lately.", Dong Hoon says.
Ji Hyo stops squirming under Kwang Soo's arm as she hears this.
So she's not the only one who is being ignored by Jae Suk?
"He kind of, like, shut me off earlier.", she says.
"Me, too. ", Dong Hoon says.
"Me, too. ", Seok Jin adds.
"Is something wrong with him? ", Joong Ki asks.
"Let's go and ask him. ", Kwang Soo suggests.
"Go find him first. ", Seok Jin says.
As they are all talking, Ji Hyo notices Jong Kook just sitting in the bench and only listening, not saying a word.
"Let's go find Jae Suk hyung. ", Joong Ki says.
"I saw him just before we got here. ", Ji Hyo says.
"Where? "
"He's heading out of the school. "
"Let's go. ", Joong Ki says urgently.
"Let's just go together. ", Gary suggests and all of them stands up from the bench.
Kwang Soo continues to drag Ji Hyo despite her failed escapes. They are even getting behind from the team.
"You better let me go now or you're gonna regret it! ", she yells.
"But nOona, we have to go to Jae Suk Hyung! "
"Why do I have to go with you?! ", she asks, remembering the fact that she does not really know a lot about these guys except for their names and what year they are in high school.
"Because we're a team! "
"Team? Hh! What a load of crap. "
Kwang Soo stops, lets go and stares at her, surprised at what she had just said.
"Noona... ", he says in disbelief.
"What? ", she asks, realizing how big of a deal it is.
"Is that how you see us? A load of crap? ", he asks.
It is a good thing the others are already far ahead.
"I mean... ", she falters, not knowing what to say.
She doesn't even understand it herself.
She does not get why the group even hangs out together.
