Jena's team won the game, thanks to Jayden and his tree climbing skills. He had hidden there when Eunbi got eliminated, the enemy's water gun unable to reach Jayden, while his can, thank gravity for it. "I did excellent, didn't I?" Jayden snuggles up to Jena, asking for her to pat his head, which she did, but her mind goes elsewhere, reminiscing what happened before, contemplating whether to tell, or to not tell. "Baby sister, what's wrong? You look pale." Jayden sat up straight, examining her face and hands, "Are you sick?" He presses his forehand to Jena's forehead. "No, I'm fine." Jena detaches his hand from her face.

The students are dismissed, having free time until dinner. "I'll go into my cabin and shower." Jena stood up and walked towards the cabins. She went inside, seeing that nobody was in there and got her necessities out, stepping into the shower. After getting her mind cleared and body refreshed, Jena went back to her room, seeing that Haera is sitting there with a colorful shirt. "Oh, you finished." Haera said, trying to scrub the color of her fingertips with the wet tissues she brought. "Oh right," Haera stopped scrubbing, looking towards Jena, "Jane sprained her ankle, she got back from the clinic when you were showering." Jena stops drying her hair, not believing what Haera said.

Jena went out of their room to look for Jane and Sehui, assuming that those two were together. "Jane!" She jogs up to them, seeing a pretty large crowd gathering around them. "Aren't you going to apologize?" Jane said to someone, Yeoreum stared straight at Jane, "I said it was an accident!" She throws her hands, trying to defend herself. "You pushed me! It wasn't an accident." Jane steps closer to Yeoreum, voice getting louder. "You thought Jane was Jena, that's why you pushed her, didn't you?" Sehui said, supporting Jane's words. Yeoreum who can't say anything, spots Jena in the crowd, "I did not! Why would I push a dear friend of mine? Right Jennie?" Now that all the attention is at Jena, she got nervous.

"W-What?" Jena asked to no one in particular, "Tell them that I won't do those horrible stuff to you, right?" Yeoreum switched her 'victim' expression to a slightly intimidating one, walking closer to Jena. "Don't touch her!" Sehui steps in, before Yeoreum got the chance to grab Jena's shoulders. "You fake bitch, trying to gain empathy from people." Jane mumbled, but clear enough that the four of them could hear her. "You made her life hell, and now you showed up in her life, again. Isn't three years of middle school enough for you?" Sehui said, pushing her back, slowly irritated and disgusted.

What they didn't see is the boys in the crowd, them arriving just then, wanting to see what the commotion is about. So when Sehui pushed Yeoreum for the last time, with her finger, Yeoreum stumbled and fell to the ground, crying. "Yeoreum!" Wooyoung, spotting the girl on the ground, rushed forward to help her. "What are you doing?!" He then yelled at Sehui, "What are you doing instead?" Sehui yells back, "Defending a bully like he—" Seonghwa steps in between the two, a hard expression displayed on his face, "Yeoreum is not a bully, don't spread false rumors like those. I thought you were better than that." Seonghwa turned and helped the crying girl stand up, carrying her away with Wooyoung.

The three were soon followed by Hongjoong who had an equally disappointed look on his face, "She wanted to be your friend, but now I'm disappointed seeing you like this." He went after them, followed by Yunho and a confused Jongho, looking back and forth between the girls and the rest of the boys. Jane, Jena, and Sehui were stoned at place, not believing what had just happened, before Sehui started on crying, "What the fuck are you guys looking at?" Jane shouts, making the crowd disperse, gossiping about what had just happened. Jena walks to Sehui, hugging her, not knowing what to say because she was as equally as heartbroken as her.

Jane limped over to the two best friends also, taking them into her embrace. They ended up going into the dining hall, getting some warm tea to calm them down. The three girls were soon joined by San, Yeosang, and Mingi, the three had heard what happened outside. "Are you okay now?" Mingi asked cautiously, afraid to push any buttons. The students starts to pour in, but Yeoreum was not seen with the rest of the boys, her presence missing. Jena sighs, deciding to tell them what had happened earlier during the games. She had it on her mind throughout it, that when she finished talking, she can't help but cry a little bit.

Yeosang quietly stood up, walking away from their table, approaching another one. He stops the edge of the other boys' table, slamming it, making the whole dining area go quiet. "You knew everything! You saw how bad her condition was! Yet you had the audacity to call her a liar!" He shouts, the blood vessel making a mark on his neck, "I never knew my friend was a jerk like this." He said, pointing at Yunho. San stood up, following his friend and stood quietly behind him, ready to hold him back if something worse were to happen. "Are you that blind? Or are you still in love with Yeoreum that you're ditching Jena and your friendship?" Yeosang adds, seeing that he got no response from the boy. "Yeoreum is a disgusting bitch, if you can't see that fac—" The cafeteria erupted in gasps and shock, seeing that Wooyoung had punched his old friend.

Yeosang touched his cheek, where he had been punched and lunged forward. Thankfully San was there, so he was able to hold him back before he could even touch Wooyoung. "Don't say that about Yeoreum, you used to enjoy her presence Yeosang. Stop being two-faced." Yeosang is now enraged, wanting to land a punch on Wooyoung's pretty face. He tries to pry San off him, struggling and face fuming. "Stop it Yeosang." Jena intervenes and stood in front of him, "That's enough." Yeosang calmed down, seeing Jena's teary eyes. "Thank you for defending me," She smiles, glancing slightly at the rest,

"But I don't need them."
