I saw Young Ji on my way home from cram school, standing at the bridge and staring at a far distance. The sound of bustling night traffic was heard and it seems like she wasn't hearing anything as I call her name.
"Young Ji!" I called for the nth time and she finally noticed my presence, looking at me with a grim expression on her face.
"Oh, Yooma," She said, looking back at the distance
"What do you mean ' Oh Yoo ma'. Is that your way of greeting me after I lend you my towel?" I joked, walking to her direction and standing beside her. "What happened? Did you get scolded by Miss Mina again? I told you to always carry your textbook with you, when will you ever listen?"
She didn't reply to my constant nagging just now and kept silent.
"Seriously, what's your problem? Tell me." I looked at her annoyingly, but she still isn't talking. "You shouldn't keep all your problems to yourself you know, it's quite tiring if you keep it all to yourself. I know very well, that you're a troublemaker but you shouldn't ---"
"Easy for you to say." I heard her, for a second, I saw her look at me with distaste in her eyes. "You're not the one being bullied and laughed at every day, no one looks down on you, the teachers like you for being an honorable student, you have loving parents who never even once tried to hurt you. Of course, you don't have any problem, you're the greatest Yooma anyway. And yet you have the audacity to tell me about my own problems? Screw off!"
I was shocked by her sudden change in personality, she wasn't herself today. It somehow looks like she's not the Young Ji I know anymore.
"Fine! If that's what you want then I'll leave you alone. You can go and cry to your lovable boyfriend and be a baby about how everyone hates you." The harsh words slipped out from my mouth, I wasn't thinking and couldn't even understand myself why I'm saying all these to her. "And I'm gonna be honest with you, everyone has been bullying you since your seriously annoying. You talk too loud, you meddle with someone else's business, you even went out with Fei's crush, of course, everyone's gonna hate you. But I didn't, even though you're annoying I still remained as your friend but now you're telling me to screw off after all we've been through? It's quite valiant for you to say that."
I began walking, and when I was just in front of her I stated: "You're on your own from now on."

"Hey, isn't that Youngji?" Kelly tapped Fei's shoulder to take her attention and pointed at the girl sheepishly walking at the sidewalk.
"Ah, it is her. What is she doing? Should we go get her" Jina interjected, seeing Fei smirk she knew that she had something in mind.
"I just had the most brilliant idea." Fei stood up from her seat and left the cafe, her followers trailing behind her.
"Young Ji!" She called out, Young Ji looked at the one who called her and saw Fei. "Perfect timing, do you want to come with us? There's a party being held at Hye Mi's house, I'm sure you're gonna love it there.
"I'm sorry, I have to go home—" She was cut off by Jina and Kelly grabbing both her arms and pulling her along with them until they reached Fei's car
"Don't be like that my dear Young Ji, you should be honored that I even invited you to our party that is exclusive for people like us."
"Umm. Okay... But I have to be at home at 8 so I'll just stop by" She answered quite in a low voice.
"Yeah yeah, sure you can," Fei smirked, eyeing everybody else and giggling at their own plan.
The car had stopped in front of a huge modern house, and one by one they went out of the car. The loud booming of the music can be heard even at their distance and some cheering reverberated, the servants opened the doors for them and in they came.
