after having a talk with her math teacher, she went back to class with her math teacher.

"You'll be fine, if there's any more problems, feel free to talk to me again" the sentence replayed in her mind.

But her math teacher's advice didnt work. Its like how any other person would say to console someone. She needed another person that can really. Really, understand her situation.

after math was majors. She changed hers to vocal major.

I went into the dance room on time with chaeyeon. Sungdeuk ssaem also arrived.

"ok. Let's start with warm ups first before we learn a choreography today" he instructed.

"ssaem! Sinb's not here yet!" Yugyeom raised up his hand.

"she will no longer be joining us. she left to a smaller group major. Im sorry, but im not allowed to say what it is due to her personal reasons. now lets continue."

Now i realised that she wasnt around. I wonder what major she changed to.

**during recess**

I saw jung eunbi or most people call her eunha, sitting next to yewon in the canteen. Sinb's not there either.

"Oh? Where did your other friend go?" I asked.

"oh? I think you should not be thinking about her? Get lost." eunha rolled her eyes.

"yah eunha!" I shouted at her.

"You hid your true colours when you saw sinb on the first day she came in. Now that you found out who she really is, you started to show your true colours. What the hell is wrong with you?" Yewon asked.

"Kaja yewon, its no use wasting your breath on him. Now i know why he picked chaeyeon as his girlfriend. Both of them are really the photocopy of personalities of each other." Eunha giggled as she walked away with yewon.

"Where did sinb go anyway?" Yewon asked.

"i dont know, she wanted to be alone." eunha replied.

So both of them actually didnt know.

Chaeyeon was eating with her group of friends so i didnt want to disturb her. Im in need of money right now. I need to pay back the loan sharks. They'll be after me very soon.

I just went to the dance studio since it would be empty by now. But i heard music being played coming from the dance studio. I peeked in to see sinb inside. She was dancing. Sweating. She looked sad.

(Just ignore her outfit😂 imagine her dancing in school uniform)

When she ended, she dropped her knees and knelt down. She broke down.

"All i wanted was being free.." she muttered while crying.

"why cant they just leave me alone.." she added.

My heart ached. All of a sudden. I felt sorry for her and the feeling of guilt just hit me.

**after school**

I walked home alone as per usual but this time a bunch of guys head towards me and dragged me with them into an alley. One punched me in the face and my abdomen area. I groaned in pain.

"Yah! When are you going to pay back huh?!" They asked.

"H-hyung...i dont have any money at the moment.." i told them.

"Bullshit. Your father owns a company and yet you cant pay us back?" They asked and one was getting ready his arm to punch me again.

"Yah! Let him go!" A lady shouted. I looked at her and realised that it was sinb. "How much did he owe you guys?!"

"70 million won ($100 000 SGD and yeah im from Singapore! 😁) " the guy replied, shouting at her.

She threw many million won notes on the ground.

"Let him go now." She said sternly. "Or else my father will deal with your boss and your illegal business will go to waste."

"You're lucky you got someone to help you pay back idiot." they walked away with the money.

Sinb then glared at me and sighed. She walked away after that.

"S-sinb-ya.." i carried my bag and ran after her in pain.

She ignored me.

I catch up with her and grabbed her wrist.

"Sinb-ya-"

"Dont touch me.." she removed her hand from mine.

"Gomawoyo.." i told her.

She avoided eye contact.

"You're hurt. Follow me back..i'll help you." She said and walked fast ahead of me. I followed her still.

Sinb brought me to her room after i greeted her brother. He gave me a death glare. Legit.

"Take off your shirt." She said and i did so.

She applied some ointment on my bruise and it stung alittle.

"is it painful?" She asked.

"ani." I respond immediately.

She just rolled her eyes and pressed on the bruise harder.

"Ara arasseo. Ne its painful" i gritted my teeth.

"Hmm who told you to borrow money from the loan sharks?" She asked.

"because of chaeyeon. I dont want to be a bad boyfriend so i used up all my money for her. Abeoji didnt like her because she goes after our money only. I liked chaeyeon. But now i dont think so" i explained.

"like is different from love jeongguk-ssi. If you find her pretty and want to be her Boyfriend immediately, then its no point. I knew you wanted to date me just to get my money as well. But i closed one eye and forgave you." She told me while putting on bandage on my bruise.

"Im sorry for revealing your identity sinb-ya. Its just my personality, ive never been cared sincerely by someone except my eomma. But she passed on..." i muttered. "Abeoji only cared for me if i do well in my exams.." i added, tears welled up in my eye. Abeoji only paid attention to my hyung because i didnt get any features from him. I didnt look like him. The home that im living in isnt actually a home, i suffer everyday.

Sinb stopped moving and looked into my eyes.
