Baekhyun walked up to Ginger and bent his head so he could see her. "Well isn't it good that they're away from you?" he laughed. "Attempting to ruin one person's life was more than enough, Ginger."

Devilishly, Ginger glared up at Baekhyun.

"What? Are you mad? How dare you?! Lower your eyes."

Ginger refused to move.

"Lower your eyes I said!" shouted Baekhyun, scaring everyone in the class. Ginger shook at his voice. Moderately, she lowered her head and looked at the the floor.


When Baekhyun sat down at his seat next to Seolhyun, Ginger walked up to Lee Ji Eun. "This is all your fault... Lee Ji Eun."

Ji Eun stood up and slammed her hands onto the table. "It's not my fault! It's my business and YOUR fault for butting into it, Ginger."

"Ginger, I think you should leave before things get worse." suggested Seolhyun. Ginger walked out of the class, furiously stomping her feet.


School was the same as always for Ji Eun, Wooyoung and their friends. The age 18 had passed, 19, 20, 21 had passed and a big 22 had reached them. It was time for the couple to choose what they wanted to do in life, who they wanted to be and... who they wanted to be with.


"You're still not looking for a job?"

"I am but people just won't accept me..."

"Why? You have all the qualities that they need so why won't they?"

"I wanted to work as a children's psychiatrist but it's not easy to communicate with just words."

"What does that mean?" asked Wooyoung.

Ji Eun sighed and sat back. "You need facial expressions when working with children."

"Then work with adults!"

"I don't want to!"

"Then stop complaining!"

Ji Eun stood up and screamed "I'm not good enough for any job in this world! I can't get my dream job and I can't work in a bank, all because people can't see my face!"

Wooyoung pulled Ji Eun next to him and held her hand tightly. "Lee Ji Eun," he started "if I say this, you may get angry at me or you might not but I'm still saying it. I know you're religious and you love wearing your scarf. I've never asked to see your face and I still love you even though I can't but... take off your scarf."

Ji Eun pulled away her hand from Wooyoung and slapped him. "I thought you would know better about me, Jang Wooyoung! Out of all people I know, I can't believe that the person I truly loved says the same words to me! You've known me for 4 years or more but still..." Ji Eun stood up and attempted to walk out the door. Wooyoung ran ahead of her and slammed the door shut angrily.

"Do you even know why I said that?!"

"What?"

"It's BECAUSE I know you too well! You wear it not only for your religion but also because you can hide yourself! Stop using religion as an excuse to hide away! You ramble on about respect but you're doing the complete opposite right now! And when you apply for a job, you can get it! Stop hiding yourself from people when I'm always by your side!"
