For Yerim, school was hell. Literally. However, that was the usual for teenagers struggling through high school, right? Of course, but for Yerim it was different.

Just the thought of stepping on the school grounds made her stomach swirl, her shoulders heavy and a constant fearful pounding in her heart. She never felt safe in school. Mostly because of a certain someone, Joy was her name and in Yeri's eyes she was Satan – of course, she only ever admitted that in her diary.

Luckily, there was still today, which was Sunday. Tomorrow, all students will be making their way to school for the new term, Yeri was trying her hardest not to think about it. A knock on the door caught the small brunette's attention, slamming her diary shut and hiding it under her pillow. "Come in!" She yelled, grabbing a bunch of textbooks and opening them, as if she'd been studying.

"Ah, eomma." Yeri mumbled, smiling warmly as her mother perched herself on the edge of her bed, her eyes lit up as she saw the younger girl seemingly studying. "Such a good girl, Yerim. A wonderful role model for your sisters, keep this up and you'll achieve wonderful grades!" The older lady boasted, the smaller girl refraining herself from rolling her chocolate orbs. "But – I've come to tell you, we have neighbours visiting tonight! Actually, you may remember them! You remember that sweet girl you used to play with – what was her name? – ah! Joo Hyun!" Yeri's eyes widened a little, Irene? She hadn't seen her in a long time, since she was five to be exact.

"They're coming back?" Yerim questioned surprisingly, her mother nodded with a warm smile, tapping her knee gently. "Yes! They're coming here, for dinner tonight so make sure to study lots before they arrive." She told her, leaving her daughter alone a moment later. Yeri was rather overwhelmed, falling back onto the bed with a huff, a nervous feeling rising in her stomach.

Yeri instantly heard the voices of the Bae family downstairs, a shaky sigh leaving her rosy lips as she stared at her image in the mirror, brushing the roll neck sweater down as if on cue the signal of her mother calling her name could be heard, slowly Yerim pulled herself together and made her way downstairs. It was as if everything was in slow motion as she took each step, the small girls doe eyes instantly widened at the sight of the family – or Irene to be exact.
