Jukyung who was at the roof woke up to find Dohwa talking with Yeo Juda. A frown made it's way to her face. After Juda left, Jukyung slapped Dohwa's shoulders, giving him a scare.

"Hm... That was fun to watch." She chuckled.

"Ya, I was crying! How is that fun!?" Dohwa cried.

"It's so cringey, I can't help but laugh." Jukyung let out a laugh. Dohwa just pouted,

"I think you should go to the cafeteria for answers," Jukyung started, but the scene suddenly changed and Lee Dohwa was gone again.

Jukyung then went to the kitchen to hang out with Danoh and Jinmichae.

Several moments after, Dohwa appeared, commenting about how the scenes change so quickly.

Jukyung just chuckled and put on her earphones, tuning out Dohwa's talking. She'll just let Danoh and Jinmichae do the talking. And then she closed her eyes and slowly drifted to sleep.

The scene changed and now she's in her classroom. She sits on the 2nd seat from the back of the class, just beside the window. Lee Dohwa is on her right. Their classroom is like Danoh, Baek Kyung, and her twin Namju's classroom, but mirrored.

"Psst. Psst. Ya, Oh Jukyung!" Lee Dohwa whispered, shocking Jukyung.

"E-Eo?" Scene Jukyung replied shyly. "Are you seriously blushing over knucklehead Lee Dohwa?! Get a grip!"

"Can I borrow your notes? I was dazing out just now!" He smiled.

"Um... sure." She gave her notebook to him.

"Thanks!" He cheerfully answered. Jukyung nodded and proceeded to doze off again.

"Ya, why are your notes empty?"

"I don't take notes, doofus," Because her dominant hand needs to rest.

"If you can see, it's not empty." She gave him her tongue and turned to look at the window again. Dohwa just sighed at her doodles.

The scene stopped as the bell rang.

"Hey, I'm going to Danoh's class. Wanna come?" Jukyung shrugged and followed Dohwa out of their classroom. As they walk Dohwa just kept on blabbering while Jukyung just listened. They reached Danoh's class to find her looking out the window. Apparently, her twin is on the other window too looking outside.

"She's driving me crazy. I mean why is she so cute? She's so cute." Oh Namju said as he talked to himself.

The three of them gagged. Jukyung's reaction was the harshest.

"See that? I need to put up with this!" and went to her twin.

"Oh Namju." She said, snapping her brother out of his trance.

"E-eo?" Namju looked behind to see his sister. "Oh it's you." And he went back to look outside the window.

"Yeo Juda, huh?" She teased, and went to stand by his side to look out the window together.

"So far she's okay in my eyes, although... Something's kind of strange." She trailed off.

"I don't need your approval." He scoffed.

"Ne~ I love you too, brother dearest." She laughed and Namju gave her a side hug which she also gave back.

"Hey, what do you think of this year's camp..." Namju asked.

"Hm?"

"Oh Jukyung!" Lee Dohwa waved as he smiled brightly.

"Hi." She smiled back, slightly blushing.

They both proceeded to walk around town, both wondering what the next scene will be.

"Is that Yeo Juda?" Whit that question, Dohwa whipped his head.

"I guess we know what the next scene is," He said.

"That's enough." Dohwa said as he stopped the angry costumer.

"Are you okay?" He asked Juda with concern on his face. With this, Jukyung who was in front of the store frowned.

The scene changed again and She's back at school.

It appears that her brother suggested their school trip to be in Korea. So that's why he asked her... It was for Yeo Juda.

She just smiled at her brother's antics.

Oh Namju may look like the stereotypical rich bad boy who falls in love with the kind, pretty, but poor heroine, but he's actually very shy, caring, and easily scared behind that demeanor of his.

Jukyung remembered that a long time ago when they were younger, she had to handle him flinching at every jump scare when they watch horror movies that she begged him to watch with her. He usually declined at first, stating that he hates horror movies, but ends up watching it with her because she kept on pouting. It was truly funny to watch but after a long time it got annoying. Even so, she was truly grateful to have him as her family.

She herself doesn't get scared easily by ghosts or scary stuff. Her worst fear is being alone, being lost, sometimes darkness also gets to her, and maybe death.

One time she got separated at night in another country when she was younger. Everything was almost dark, she didn't know the language at that time, and she was all alone, lost in another country.

She cried near an alleyway until her brother came and found her, looking worried, and instantly hugged her.

She was truly grateful for his actions.

And to see him caring this much for someone he likes so she can also go to the school trip together with her friends put a smile on her face.

"What are you smiling at?" Dohwa asked, curiously.

"Hm... I was thinking of my brother." She smiled fondly.

"Oh Namju?"

"Who else?" She chuckled.

"Your brother is truly one weird guy." Baek Kyung shook his head in disbelief as he appeared next to Jukyung's side, with hands inside both of his pockets.

"Wow, Lee Dohwa and Baek Kyung? We could pass as A3!" She laughed.

"I'm sorry, but you can't easily take my spot, dear sister." Namju also came and patted her head. Jukyung pouted.

"A3 is ganging up on me. So mean."
