"Do you really need to go there this early?" Jungyeon asked Dahyun on the way to drop her to the green house.

"why do you even ask" Dahyun beamed, at her step sister.

"just- don't get too carried away and miss your breakfast. The rules here are stricter than home." Jungyeon said as they were standing at the cross roads. From here, they were supposed to go separate ways. The green house was already visible from here. While Jungyeons destination the library was a bit far.

"hey!! Dahyun, Jungyeon !!!"

Both of the above mentioned people turned to look at the source of sound. It was Chaeyoung.

"hey!!" Dahyun shouted back waving her hand.

"do you want to wake up the whole university?" Jungyeon scolded as Chaeyoung approached them.

"sorry" Chaeyoung said as Dahyun lowered her hand and head too.

"Chaeyoung, are you going to the green house too?" Dahyun asked as she nodded.

"good, Chaeyoung will you please make sure that you both come to have breakfast on time?" Jungyeon asked.

"hey!!" Dahyun exclaimed. "don't try to act like your mother, I am not a small kid anymore."

"okay fine, see you at breakfast." With that Jungyeon walked away from the two.

As she was walking, she remembered a small incident from her childhood.

The whole palace was searching for little Dahyun. She was nowhere to be found. It was the first time that Dahyun didnt show up for meal.

Jungyeon remembered the way Dahyun was fascinated by the greenhouse she visited yesterday. Lots and lots of plants kept in a glass house. She was told that the plants kept here were special, they had the magic to cure people.

She pushed open the glass door to see Dahyun squatting down near a small plant.

"Dahyun, its lunch time your mother is looking everywhere for you."

Dahyun was startled to see her sister there. When they got to the dining hall, her mother hugged her tightly, but as soon as their father, the king walked in her mother started scolding her.

"please, she is just a child." Jungyeon's mother said.

"let it slide this once, lets eat for now." Their father said, not sparing anyone a glance.

When Jungyeon's mother learned what happened, she was really happy. She was herself into medicine. So she taught Dahyun all there was about the plants.

She snapped back out of the memory lane when she saw that she was already in front of the library and it was locked. She sighed and was just about to turn to go back.

"Jungyeon?" Jihyo said placing a hand on her shoulder.

"oh Jihyo, what brings you here?"

"today's debate, I still wanted to research something. You are here for that too, I suppose."

"yes, by the way we are on the same team right?"

"yeah" Jihyo began as a sudden thought crossed her mind "say, would you like to practice together? We can share our researches and its a lot of time before the breakfast."

"sure" Jungyeon said as they proceeded to practice determined to smash the opponent team.

Momo and Sana entered the hall, somehow they both were hungry and for Sana she was still a bit sleepy. Her shoulders were slouched.
