Note: All the places, characters and scenes are purely fictional.

JENNIE'S WORDS keep humming on Krystal's mind even if she's already in the middle street, driving to her next stop. "If you wanna know more about Seulgi Emerson, find this person." Since she heard that sentence, it stucked to her braincells like tattooed to her system. Jennie gave her a card with a name Elizabeth Gomez and her number below. Jennie said that the woman written on the card can be a great help to her case because it favored Seulgi when she was in Law School.

Her phone ring once, indicating she has to turn right base on the map in her GPS. When she did, another huge and modernized gate was visible in her sight.

She deduced that Seulgi Emerson's money is not a joke. Her schools screamed huge finance. Krystal knew, she cannot afford this kind of school.

Krystal is happy with what she have in her life. Even if she knows that she's an adopted child. Her mother died after giving birth to her, while her father died in heart attack when she was 7 years old. Her foster parents never failed to give her support and love. They even let her study abroad for better education. And with that, she's grateful and couldn't ask for more. Seulgi must be lucky to have her family intact and prosperous cash in her pockets.

Krystal saw a student when she was walking towards the gate of the medical school. The student was holding her bag pack tightly, while staring at the huge bulletin board of the school. She was wearing a white uniform. Krystal concluded that she's attending the same medical school Seulgi attended before. And that school is standing firmly few meters away from her.

Her mind went curious. So, she decided to take a look at the bulletin board. She knows she have to get her business in this school done, but unfortunately, she came unprepared. Not really unprepared but she was fool. She asked Wendy yesterday to take a look at the medical school's protocols. Wendy told her that she needed an agreement paper signed by the president of the school before she can enter the premises. She already have that actually. But sad to say, she forgot it. She put it inside her black leather jacket's pocket, that is hanging in her closet freely right now, but now she's wearing a light brown colored coat. Krystal is not a fashionista. She doesn't even give a damn about what people wears. She doesn't give a shit about people's judgment to her choice of clothes. As long as she's comfortable, everything is fine.

She glanced at the dark green colored bulletin. There was a poster that immediately caught her eyes. It was a poster of Seulgi Emerson saying she was a suspect of a crime inside her very own condo unit.

Just as Krystal was about to say something to get the stranger's attention, the student suddenly murmured, not knowing Krystal's presence standing beside her. "The table has been turned now." The student muttered under her breath.

She turned around, attempted to walk away, when she bumped to a tall woman standing beside her. She raised her head. "I'm sorry." She apologized. Just a quick glanced from the tall woman's eyes, she knew the woman heard her earlier. "Can I help you?"

Krystal was looking at the female student's eyes. as if she was searching for something, but even her doesn't know what it is. After a few seconds, Krystal spoke. "You must have a history with that woman." Krystal said in a low voice, trying to talk in a friendly manner so the girl would not run away from her.

But what she expected happened. The student turned around, walking away from her direction.

"Hey," she called, following the girl. "I cause no harm. I just wanna talk to you." Krystal said, trying to convince the girl to stop walking and start talking to her. What she saw on the student's eyes were sorrow, grief and hatred while she was looking at Seulgi's picture earlier.
