Yeon Na's POV
I was only halfway done with school when I thought about going over to the hospital afterwards. I did so while putting my books in my locker. Hye Run, wasn't with me at that moment since our classes were different.
My mind was full of thoughts about how I was going to clear my mum's name and how Jae Sang got hurt. I closed my locker door subconsciously and walked down the hallway to class. Even though the case is 9 years old, it may be possible for it to be re-investigated again if it is obvious that Im Byung Hun is not the actual culprit and if more evidence can be found.
I was so caught up in thought, that I did not watch my way and accidentally bumped into someone's chest, a hard one. I bowed my head slightly mumbling my apologies. As I started walking away, someone grabbed my wrist and pulled me back.
"Yeon Na... How have you been?" an all too familiar person asked. I looked up to end up meeting eyes with Seo Jun.
"Good till I bumped into you." I rolled my eyes and attempted to walk away but he came in front of me again and stopped me. He signaled to his friends to leave and they understood leaving us alone.
"What do you want now?" I sighed as I glared at him.
"To apologise." he replied sheepishly.
"Right." I sarcastically laughed.
"I'm serious. I realised how much of a jerk I became. I'm really sorry. I guess all the popularity got too much into my head and I acted like a-"
"An arrogant airhead?" I completed his sentence crossing my arms.
"Yea, you could say that." he chuckled nervously, touching his nape.
"Okay, glad you know. Can I go now?" I coldly asked.
"Look, I just hope we can start over as friends again. I've really missed hanging out with you like the old days even before we dated. Don't worry, I'm not expecting anything more than just friends. What do you say?" he held his hand out as a form of making peace. I stared at it while having my own debate in my mind.
"I'll think about it." I hug my books tighter refusing to shake his hand.
"No problem, I can wait. I guess we'll just postpone that handshake then." he shly smiled before moving to the side to let me pass.
I walked away with a small and I say very very small smile left on my face.

Jae Sang's POV
I laid on the hospital bed as I stare up at the plain white ceiling. Staying in here was killing me from boredom and furthermore, I have started missing Yeon Na already. I have been staying here for 3 days already and it is killing me. Yeon Na and Hye Rin have coming here to visit me and also we decided to discuss about our little investigation here. My Train of thoughts was then interrupted when I heard a knock on the door. Were Hye Rin and Yeon Na here already?
In came my father which surprised me. I got up, sitting up straight as I waited for him to explain why he was here.
"How are you son?" father awkwardly asked but it was obvious that there was only a small hint of concern while the rest were fake. I sighed before crossing my arms and stared straight ahead of me refusing to look at him any longer.
"Why are you here?" I avoided his question. I wanted him to leave immediately. His presence disgusted me.
"I'm here to talk to you about your... friend Yeon Na." he informed and at the mention of her name, I turned my head to him with a confused look.
"What about her?"
"I want you to stop hanging out with her. She does not seem like good company for you." he demanded making me scoff.
"Since when have you cared about the company I hang around?" I rolled my eyes and went backed to facing the front.
"Well... because none of them has ever hurt you like this." he reasoned but it did not sound like that was the only reason.
"Yeon Na did not hurt me! That psycho man did." I defended Yeon Na. It is not like my father to be giving lame excuses.
"Well, if you weren't involved with her, that psycho man would not have hurt you like that so you aren't going to see her anymore. If hanging out with her puts you in danger, as a father, I cannot stand to allow that to continue. It was not a simple injury." father lectured making me laugh out loud.
"Since when have you ever been a father to me? You are hardly around and you have been trying to put a leash on me since mum died!" I shouted out of anger which added pain to my injury, making wince in pain while lightly clutching my abdomen. What an awesome man my father was, making someone unwell boil in anger. "Also, what makes you think that I will listen to you?"
"If you do not obey me, then I'll just have to transfer you to a different school. I would also consider sending you abroad if I have to. I am sick of you acting like a stubborn little boy." father threatened which did not scare me one bit.
"Are you seriously threatening me?"
"The only way to prevent threats is with threats." He said in an almighty tone.
"This is the only school that I am willing to stay in and you want to transfer me out? Go ahead but you and I both know that I am capable of getting my ass expelled. Abroad you say? I could easily run away from home now if you dare send me abroad." I retorted with a glare, challenging him. My blood was boiling. Every time he opened his mouth I got angrier.
"You can do that if you wish but you remember that I have the power to get you back and actually put you on a leash. Starting now I shall put you on a leash then since it seems like your stubbornness is not to going to subside anytime soon and you are giving me no choice." he announced sternly this time with his head held high like he was not going to let me get control. My knuckles had turned white from clenching my fist too hard, and gritted teeth from my effort to remain silent as I am forced to listen to the venom he was spitting out in his words. My face must have turned red with suppressed rage, I was screaming and shouting internally. We stared at each other intensely.
"Sir, Jae Sang's school friends, Hye Rin and Yeon Na are waiting outside." Secretary Park came in and informed my father, breaking a bit of the tension in the room.
"Starting from tomorrow onwards, your driver will send you to and back from school, you will be grounded and will not be allowed to leave the house. I don't want you to hang out with your Yeon Na friend anymore." father declared before turning to leave. Secretary Park opened the door for him and I could see both Hye Rin and Yeon Na standing outside waiting. They bowed upon encountering my father. He looked down at down and brushed them off and walked off. At that moment, I had the strong urge to punch my own father in the face.
After the devil had left with his dog, Hye Rin and Yeon Na entered in awkwardly. I took in a few deep breaths before turning to them with a smile and return, Yeon Na smiled back brightly which broke my heart knowing that my father is trying to pull me away from ever seeing that smile again. What was I supposed to do now?
