Daniel blinks. The light is too bright. It's piercing his eyes. When he finally opens his eyes, he's wondering where he is. He doesn't remember how he got here. The last thing he remembered was a girl's voice yelling his name.
"Oh you're up?" Daniel turns to the source of that voice. It's that girl, Kim Chungha.
"How are you feeling? Are you ok?"
What is she doing here?
"Should I call the doctor?"
Doctor?
Daniel tries to get up. He groans immediately.
"Whoa, you should take it easy. You got hurt pretty bad."
"Where am I?" Daniel manages to say a few words.
"You're on a emergency unit. You got beat up... Remember?" Chungha tries to talk to him, very slowly.
"I need to go."
"But you-"
"I don't need to be here." Daniel tries to stand up. He finds his balance and walks away.
"Hey! You could at least thank me." Chungha catches up with him after fetching her stuffs.
"I never ask for your help." Daniel keeps walking, doesn't even bother to look at Chungha.
Chungha is dumbfounded by his reaction. She stops Daniel on his track and face him, "Then you owe an explanation."
Daniel looks her in her eyes. She's short, compared to Daniel's height. So he needs to look down. It was the first time for him to really see her eyes. Her milky-chocolate eyes. It reflects concern and annoyance. "I don't owe you any explanation." Daniel walks past her.
Heol. What is wrong with him?! Chungha is too dumbfounded to stop him from walking away. She just stood there.
Daniel turns back to her, "I'll pay for the hospital bills the next time we meet." And he left.

Chungha is so pissed. She shuts the world out by plugging her earphone. Fire by BTS is playing in maximum volume. She's going to unleash her rage by paying a visit to Nayoung eonnie's internet café. But suddenly, the song paused and "Eomma" is blinking on her screen. What now?
She sighs, "Eum?"
"Eodiya?"
"I'm on the way home."
"Stopped by Sejeong's house. Her mom is making us kimchi and some rice wine. She told me to pick it up, but I couldn't leave the shop."
She's too tired to argue, "Ne..."
"Neo wae geurae? Are you sick? You don't even talk back to me."
"Do you want me to?"
"Ani, geunyang...Just pick it up for me, will you?"
"Arasseo." She hung up and leaned her head to the windowpane.

"Annyeonghaseyo."
"Eo. Chungha-ya wasseo?" Her aunt greets her.
"Ne, imo."
"You're here to pick up the kimchi right? Wait a minute, I'll go get it."
"Ne, algesseubnida."
"Sejeong-a, Chungha is here!" Chungha hears her cousin's footsteps approaching.
"Chungha ya!" She's all smiles, as usual. "What is wrong with your face?" She teases her.
"Ah molla. Don't even ask. I had a really, really bad day."
"Wae? Museun irisseo?"
"I got a project from the science group to do this demo. I met up with my partner to discuss what we would do. But he ended up getting beaten up."
"Mwo?! How could that happen?"
"Moreugesseo." She sighs for the 1000x time today. "He was walking out of the café. But Park Woojin followed him. I was curious so I followed them too. Then Woojin suddenly shoved him to an alley and beat him up pretty bad."
"Park Woojin?!"
"Yes. I told you he was dangerous."
"Whoa...He definitely is. But, Chungha, who is your partner?"
"Kang Daniel."
"The one with the pink hair??"
"Eum. Do you know him?"
"Dangyeonhaji! He's my classmate!"
