Cheong Kara woke up from her bed then sat up, placing her hand on her left eye to wait for her blurry vision go back to normal. She rubbed them both then got up. She stretched herself up while yawning. "Honey! Breakfast!" her Mom yelled from their kitchen. "Yeah Mom. I'm coming!.." she yelled back, a little sleepy.

She walked to their kitchen and sat on their table. "I made you some pancakes" she smiled then moved the pan sidewards to drop the pancake on Kara's plate. "Hmm..Thanks Mom" she said a little drooly. She always gets hungry.

They both started to eat.

"We're going to work soon, ok? Get yourself ready." she leaned a little forward. "Ok. Sure" she nodded with a mouthful of pancake.

°~~~~~°

After eating, they both started to work on their dry cleaning store and started to cook for their customers.

They went inside and gave their clothes to Kara and her Mom. Then they ate their food. Their customers are always satisfied with their cooking. Some said that they should own a restaurant or something. But they don't have enough money so they just live in a normal life. That's what Kara always wants. A normal, yet a simple life.

"Thank you! We'll help you out on your clothes again!" Kara yelled happily to their last customer and went back to check their separate clothes on a plastic bag.

Her Mom sighed in relief. "Phew...thank God we're finally done." she wiped her forehead whilst holding her hips with victory. Kara chuckled.

"The customers will go back tomorrow, you deliver the other clothes to their owners and wait...the last customer said that we should give him back their clothes early, right?" she pointed curiously at the plastic bag while looking at her daughter. Kara nodded silently.

"Can you do it?" her Mom asked a little worried.

"Of course I can! It's still my summer vacation after all. Even if school is now near on my face." she laughed a little at her own joke along with her mom afterwards. "Haha..ok ok. I trust you honey." they both smiled but then her Mom held out her inhaler and starts to breathe in it. Kara held her shoulder to relax her.

Her Mom breathe in and out heavily whilst Kara sat her on the couch. She always gets worried and upset whenever she sees her Mom like this.

After a few seconds, she removed her inhaler then breathe in again to the natural air. Kara looked at her worriedly. "Don't worry Kara, I'm fine." she smiled after she exhaled.

°~~~~~°

Kara starts to bike off from the street to the address their last customer gave to them. Of course, to give him back his clothes early. She saw it was his uniform. She thought that she'll head straight to his home address but it wasn't.

It was a school.

She went there and saw many students walking around.

"Damn. This place has a LOT of students" she thought to herself while looking around.

"This place is kinda cool" she added to her thoughts while looking around like an idiot at the beautiful place. At least she's not wearing a uniform and starts to look around like she is new to this place.

Then someone at her sight ran to their friends.

"GUYS! JUYEON IS GOING TO KILL HIMSELF!!" he yelled loudly at his friends while pointing at a high building.

"Wait...WHAT?!"

Kara went curious and surprised at this sudden news.  They started heading to the building. Kara followed them behind. She finally saw the student on top looking at them and he looks kinda... injured? She looked at him clearly. No way.

"That's our last customer" she thought but got interrupted by the crowd she got in and can't breathe. She can't get enough of this so she starts to budge in through the crowd and finally went inside the building.

-----

Heading to the rooftop, she saw a few students that have few girls and boys then three boys near to the injured student. He was just standing there, about to fall. He was bleeding from his nose and mouth while panting heavily from the pain and tiredness.

"Juyeon, get down from there! You don't have to do this!" a brown haired boy on one of the three, yelled to him with a panic and worried face.

"Yeah! Don't listen to those idiots!" one with a grey haired boy, said with crossed arms.

"Get down here, Juyeon! You can trust us!" a black-blue haired boy said worriedly while pointing to the ground. He's a little closer at Juyeon.

"No" he said with a quiet and little stern voice. The boys looked at each other with worried faces and a few girls were covering their mouths. Already know what's about to happen.

"He's going to kill himself" Kara thought.

"JUYEON!"

"I won't let him do that" she started to get angry.

"HEY!.."she yelled out and walked over to him. The students started looking at her direction.

"You should get down here. Cause I got your delivered clothes!" she stretched out her arm with a smile while holding his clothes in a hanger.

He chuckled. "Do you think I can still live with this goddamn school?" he said with a little sarcastic tone. She looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Uhh..Yeah!..Any life is deserved to be longer than getting cut short...And school always ends. It will not hunt you forever!.." she said with optimism. The boys behind her nodded in agreement.

He chuckled again like this is nothing to his world. "..I'm sorry but I just wanna go home and never come back to this hellhole again.." he looked back to his front then stepped forward.

"NOO!"

"JUYEON!"

Then he falls.

"NOOO!!" everyone closed their eyes.

Kara ran quickly to him then held his arms and shoulders. She screamed because of the weight of the student but still carrying him, using all of her force to save her customer.
