Hae Rin looks at both of them.
"What are you talking about? Don't talk nonsense. Please don't disturb me and Hae Rin" Nam Hyuk wants to reached for Hae Rin's hand but Min Jun immediately brushed it away.
"Are you deaf? I'm already telling you don't disturb her. If you want to talk to her, you have to talk to me too" warned Min Jun.
Nam Hyuk pulling the collar of Min Jun's shirt. Hae Rin immediately pushed Nam Hyuk slowly.
"Nam Hyuk, please stop it," said Hae Rin.
"You better watch your mouth before I punch you in the face," said Nam Hyuk.
Min Jun also pulling the collar of Nam Hyuk's shirt. Hae Rin panicked. She held Min Jun's arm.
"Min Jun, we have a class after this. Let's go"
Min Jun slowly took off Nam Hyuk's collar. He pushed hard on Nam Hyuk's hand that was still holding his collar. Then, he pulls Hae Rin's hand and walks away leaving Nam Hyuk.

Min Ji skip school and go to karaoke with her gang. She just watched her friends sing happily. Then, they stopped singing and sat down with Min Ji.
"I have something important to tell to you guys," said Ara.
Min Ji reached her coke.
"About Lee Min Jun"
Min Ji almost choked to hear them mention her brother's name.
"Why?"
"I heard he has a sister and her still in our school," said Ara.
"What? Are you sure about that?" asked Min Ah.
"Yeah, I'm very sure" replied Ara.
"So what? I don't care if he has a sister or not" said Ah Young.
"You don't care but I care. I'll search who is Lee Min Jun's sister" said Ara.
"If you find her, what do you want to do?" asked Min Ah.
Ara smirked.
"Why are you asking that question meanwhile you know what I'm going to do?" asked Ara, smirked.
Min Ah and Ah Young understood what Ara means. Min Ji just ignored what they just say. Suddenly, all her friends look at her.
"Min Ji?"
Min Ji was surprised when Ah Young calls her name. Min Ji turned to look at them.
"Yes?"
"Do you think who is Lee Min Jun's sister?" asked Min Ah.
Min Ji laughs awkwardly.
"I also don't know. Why I must to know her?" answered Min Ji.
Three of them look at Min Ji.
"Min Ji" Ara holds Min Ji's thigh.
"Don't make trouble with me. If you know who is she, please immediately tell me. Understand?" warned Ara while pushing Min Ji's head.
Min Ji just nods sign yes to what Ara says. Min Ah and Ah Young just laugh at Min Ji and Ara smile cynically at Min Ji.

"Why you bring me here? We suppose to go to the hall right now" said Hae Rin when Min Jun brings her to the rooftop.
"Just crying" replied Min Jun.
"What?" asked Hae Rin, weird.
"Didn't you sad what your mom says to you? Just crying. I'll not laugh at you" answered Min Jun.
Hae Rin laughs.
"Hey, do you think I'm a weak woman? I'm okay. What my mom says is right. So, I don't think that hurt me" replied Hae Rin.
Why is she lying? Why she must lie to herself?
"What? Are you don't believe me?" asked Hae Rin and approaches Min Jun.
Min Jun just silent and keep looking at Hae Rin who sits on the balcony. Min Jun just do the same thing.
"By the way, thanks for helping me" continued Hae Rin.
"For what?" asked Min Jun backs.
"For take me away from Nam Hyuk"
"I'm serious about what I said earlier," said Min Jun.
Hae Rin immediately looks at Min Jun.
"So, you owe me" Min Jun tries to change the topic.
"Owe you?"
"Yeah, you must buy me..."
Min Jun keep thinking about what Hae Rin must buy him something.
"You must buy me tteokbokki," said Min Jun.
"Just that? That too easy to me" replied Hae Rin.
Min Jun looks at his watch.
"Hey, we must go now. The next class almost starts" said Min Jun.
"Hmm, can you go without me?" asked Hae Rin.
Min Jun looked at her for an answer.
"I want to skip class. I don't think I want to study right now. But, please don't tell anyone especially Areum" replied Hae Rin.
"Okay, I'll go first"
Min Jun left her alone. When Min Jun was already out of sight, she looked up at the sky. Suddenly, she felt sad. Hae Rin's lip trembled, her eyes burned as she tried to keep her tears at bay.
"What wrong with me?"
Finally, her tears dripped down her cheeks. She wipes her tears.
"What I must do to you mom? I'm very tired"
"If you ask me, I also don't want my dad to leave us. But, why you keep blaming me? I'm very tired, mom"
Suddenly, a pair of hands appeared in front of her while holding strawberry yogurt to be given to her. Hae Rin turned around. She saw Min Jun next to her and Min Jun's breath went up and down rapidly. Maybe he ran to get here.
"What are you doing here?" asked Hae Rin.
"So, you cry? You are not a strong woman as I thought" replied Min Jun.
Hae Rin immediately wipes her tears. But, Min Jun took her hand and placed yogurt and tissues in the palm of her hand.
"Thank you" Hae Rin was moved by Min Jun's kind attitude.
Min Jun sits beside Hae Rin and drinks water.
"So, you're not a bad boy as I thought"
"I'm not a man who is rude to women unless she goes overboard" replied Min Jun.
"Wow, so gentle"
Then, the situation became quiet.
"Hae Rin, can I ask you a question?" asked Min Jun, suddenly.
"Yeah, sure" replied Hae Rin and drink the yogurt.
"Why do you still treat your mother well when she treats you badly?" asked Min Jun, careful.
"Because she is my mom. No matter how bad she treats us, she is still our mom who carried us for 9 months in her womb and who has fought for her life to give birth to us" answered Hae Rin.
Min Jun was silent hear Hae Rin's answer.
"Yeah, I'm very tired with her. But, I'm sure one day, she will treat me like her real daughter. I'm sure she will regret what she does now. That time, I'll be the happiest person in this world" Hae Rin felt sad when she said that.
"But now, I give up. My mom still doesn't want to treat me well. I don't know how to do. Maybe I must leave that house and that time my mom will realize it"
Hae Rin laughs. It is impossible.
"I'm sorry, you have to listen to me. I didn't think I could talk to you"
Suddenly, Hae Rin looks at Min Jun.
"You're a very lucky person. You have a mother who very much loves you and..."
"I don't a parent" Hae Rin didn't have time to finish her verse, Min Jun kept interrupting.
"You don't have a parent? I am sorry. I didn't know your family was dead"
Min Jun's tense face appeared when her parents were called.
"Yeah, I also want them dead. But, they do not die yet. They already left me. So, I don't have a parent"
"They must have a reason to left you. You can search for them slowly" said Hae Rin.
Min Jun smirked.
"Do you know they left me because of what?" Min Jun stands up and wants to left Hae Rin.
"Wait, where are you going?" asked Hae Rin.
"It's not your business"
Min Jun left Hae Rin alone.
"Why he keep left me alone?"
