It's already a week after joining college, all are busy with their activities and one of their class is Korean class.
It is specifically for the people from outside Korea and it is the time when all the girls join together and have fun in the class.
Especially Joanne and Priyanka were good in it and so, they were given responsibility of the class to create special situations for them to practice Korean.
They had all the best time there.
But in other classes, though all seven of them were good on their own, the other Korean students were being jealous of them as the mentors always gave them special attention.

They kept on spreading weird rumours about their past life.

One of the rumour spread was that Mahiro was being bullied in her school and that's why she doesn't talk much.

Vanya gets to know this rumour first and tries to always be with Mahiro so that she doesn't hear it from someone.

Vanya: Hey Mahiro are you free let's go to cafe after lunch.
Mahiro : (nodes) Ok!
Carlyn : (suddenly appears) Take me with you ( doing agiyeo(cute face))
Vanya : Ok then, after class...kajaaaa...(let's go).

Queen and Priyanka were on their way to class and Priyanka hears someone speaking about the rumour.
She just passes them listening, but doesn't say anything.
They reach the class and meet others, Priyanka calls Vanya out by making eye signs.

Vanya: What happened???
Priyanka : You might have heard it, the rumour.
Vanya : Mahiro, yes.
(Joanne comes to them )
Joanne : I have heard it too.
Priyanka : Mahiro might find it out soon.
Vanya : I'm trying to keep her busy, we are going to cafe after class.
Joanne : We need to do it until it cools down, let's not talk about it anywhere.
Vanya : let's go for now, or else they will get suspicious.
Priyanka : ok.

They get into class and class is about to start, students rush into their seat.
But then one girl Kim Minha purposely put her book down when she passes Mahiro.
Mahiro picks the book and gives it back smiling.
Minha sees her and says "geu misoleul bwa, gananhan sonyeo" (look at that smile, poor girl"( in Korean)).
Priyanka : yaaa...( clutching her wrist)
Vanya and Joanne taps her shoulders to calm down.
The class gets over.

It's already end of the semester and all are busy working on their performance

It's already end of the semester and all are busy working on their performance.
Today Mahiro came early to college for more practice on her dance. All other girls think that the rumour had calmed down so they let her go alone.

Mahiro keeps practicing hardly , Minha gets surprised seeing her and enters the practice hall.

Minha : Hey, Mahiro are you ok sweety?
Mahiro : (Stops her practice and sees Minha) Hmmmm...???
Minha : Are you here this early because you are worried that you will bullied again ( puts a side smile and smirks).
Mahiro : I don't understand.
Minha : ( puts both her hands to Mahiro's shoulders). Don't worry I'm here, no one else can bully you.

Priyanka, Vanya and Joanne along with other girls goes to college. They get bit worried about Mahiro and wants to check on her, so they rush as soon as possible.
Other girls get suspicious on them.
They enter the practice room and sees Mahiro sitting alone thinking what she just heard.

Mahiro : Minha, just told me something about bullying.

Carlyn enters
Carlyn : Don't worry girl it's just a rumour.
Mahiro : Rumour??? ( Looks confused)

Vanya, Priyanka and Joanne looks each other's face
Carlyn : You guys were not talking about rumour ( scratches her head)
Mahiro : I know these days.... something is wrong...why people look at me like that???
Bell : Nothing, you know how they see us as foreigners.
Mahiro : No, it's...it's... not the same....
Queen : First you need to calm down.
Joanne : So you all except Mahiro knows this.
All : yes....
Joanne : Ok now we need to speak it out.
Priyanka : Yes.
Mahiro you are right, there is a rumour spread about you and we know it's not true.
Carlyn : ok, just listen, I know you can handle this situation well.
The rumour is that you were bullied in your high school and so you don't speak much.
Mahiro: (shocked) Atleast you guys know me, but that Minha.....
Priyanka : What did she say?
