"Ji Eun-ah, I don't know what your reaction may be after this, but I think it's... good for you to be adopted into a family."
Ji Eun smiled, but her smile could not be seen "I too have thought about it but I don't think anyone would accept an 18-year-old girl."
"If you were, your transfer form could have been filled out."
"I understand Mr Hong but I don't think I need a full family to carry on. I don't think I can go through anything more. I'm sick of it..."
Ji Eun bowed and turned around to leave, when suddenly Mr Hong stood up. "Ji Eun-ah!" he called.
She turned around and looked at her teacher.
"Would you... like to live with me?"
Wooyoung was walking with his friend Taehyung when he suddenly noticed Lee Ji Eun walking out of the teachers' office. He popped his head in, then the rest of his body. "My Hong," signalled Wooyoung as he smiled, waving his hand.
"Wooyoung-ah," smiled the teacher "how can I help you?"
"Mr Hong, if someone wants to know something because they are worried about a friend or they are curious about a friend, do they not have the right to know?"
"Well, in a way, they do."
"So I can ask you a question right?"
"Of course you can! If anything is worrying you, you can definitely ask me."
"If that is the case, then I will ask... why was Ji Eun in here just now?"
"Lee Ji Eun?"
"Yes, the only Ji Eun..."
My Hong's smile faded but he still tried to fake one.
"Is something wrong, teacher?"
"Nothing's wrong... Its just that... Ji Eun wants to transfer. I don't know if she wants you or anyone to know, but the truth will eventually come out so..."
"Why? Is she being bullied?"
"No."
"Is it because she doesn't like it here?"
"Maybe you should try asking her yourself, Jang Wooyoung." Mr Hong stood up, grabbed a few papers and exited the room.

"You're going to transfer right?"
"Maybe."
"Why?"
"Just because..."
"Do you even have friends here?"
"Nope."
"Do you want them?"
"Don't care."
"Lee Ji Eun!"
"What is it, Jang Wooyoung?"
Wooyoung sighed and bent his head to the left, then the right, making cracking noises in his neck.
"Look here, Miss Lee, I'm trying to help you!"
"Are you that desperate to help me?"
"Well... I mean... Sorta?"
"Come to my house after school. I need help with something."
