Yeon-su was a little surprised by what Nam-su said, "Hack....are you guys kidding me right now...what if I get caught, I could even get arrested (scoffs)."
Ji-young, "I know that but this is a Matter of life and death.... if Nam-su's mom finds out about the rumor, I'm done for including Nam-su."
Yeon-su, "Listen is not that I don't want to help it's just that it takes some time and..."
Before Yeon-su could finish what he was saying, Nam-su said, "one million won.....I will give you one million won if you do this for me, or if it's too small I will increase it to five million won."
Hearing that, Yeon-su said, "Stop it both if you..... I'm not a jerk...I won't take money from my friends, fine I'll do it for you but it might take some time and in return instead of giving me money, you can get me a new computer."
A little confused, Nam-su said, "A new computer....what for."
Yeon-su, "Well my old one is rusty and doesn't work like it used to do sooo I think I need a new one....but I have been broke Soo I haven't been able to buy it."
Nam-su, "it's ok...if it's a new computer you want, I'll get it for you even with Money on top.....Now help me."
After telling Yeon-su some details, he told them that it will only take a few hours and the rumor will be down.
throughout the whole lesson, Nam-su couldn't relax properly because she was still scared that the rumor will still reach her mom.
After school, Nam-su and Ji-young went home well in the same car since it was raining again.
Finally, they were done with their mid-term examination and now they had the rest of the week to relax since it was a break but that didn't mean the same for Nam-su.
While others hated the mid-break since instead of relaxing her mom will take her to stressful parties and have her study twenty-four seven. But she had a feeling that it was going to be different since Ji-young was here.
The day went by and just as Ji-young was about to leave, he told Nam-su that the rumor was nowhere to be found, turns out that Yeon-su had succeeded in taking it down.
Nam-su was very happy to hear that, and now she could finally relax.... little did she know that trouble was just about to come her way.
After Ji-young left, Nam-su went to get ready for the night. She stayed in her room from r over four hours before coming downstairs for dinner.
She came downstairs to see her mom seated on the couch. She looked upset and Nam-su was a little surprised to see her.
Walking toward her mom, Nam-su said, "Ma, you are back already.....I thought you would be gone for a week."
Seeing her Daughter, Su-An scoffed and Said, "What.... aren't you happy to see me or wait..... I'm sure you were hoping that I'll be gone for a week so you can continue to date that Tutor of yours and bring shame to our family."
Hearing that, Nam-su Jew dropped, she couldn't believe her ears. How did her mom k ow about the rumor and why was all this about?
Just then her eyes caught her sister San-Ra who was grinning and she immediately knew who told her mom everything.
Nam-su, "Ma do you know about the rumor."
Su-An, "Yes I know about the rumor....is there a problem with that huh, am I not allowed to know anything about my daughter now." Su-An said angrily.
Nam-su, "Ma it isn't what you think....the rumor was all a lie, nothing is true. I and Ji-young are just friends, nothing more."
San-Ra quickly ran to her mother's side and said in a sweet and calm voice, "Ma look at how she is calling him in such a sweet way.... I'm sure they are more than friends.....Ma you won't believe that he even slept here yesterday..... Only God knows what they did last night.".
Hearing that, Nam-su's blood just boiled..how could she have been so stupid, off course San-Ra will do something like this.
She would take any opportunity she had to make her look like a failure to their mother and for once mom was believing her nonsense.
Nam-su, "Shut up!!! You don't know what you're talking about so just keep quiet....Ma yes Ji-young did sleep here last night but it was because of the ran....Ma you have to believe me." saying that, Tears couldn't help but come out from Nam-su's eyes.
Seeing her daughter's tears, Su-An took a little silence to think some things through. Yes, it might be what San-Ra was saying could be true....but Nam-su has never done something like this before. Nam-su is her little treasure, she will never do anything that will tarnish her family's reputation..with that in mind, Su-An then said.
"Enough both of you.... Nam-su I will give you five minutes to explain everything and how this rumor came to be, including the part that Ji-young had to spend the night here."
Hearing that, Nam-su felt a little more relieved, she then said, "Well Ma..... yesterday U-Haul told my driver to leave and said that I should ride with him, but since I was still a little upset I refused and when I saw that Ji-young was about to leave with his bicycle, I decided to join him."
"While we were riding, I stopped to see the sun set and the beautiful garden behind the lake and I did.... that's the photo you saw. We then went how later and then the rain started.... Ji-young couldn't go home in the rain since I knew that I was the reason why we were late so I told him to stay here for the night and after dinner, I went straight back to my room, I promise. Even Aunt Bo can testify for me....then the rumor started and we panicked....when i went today, Ji-young showed me his friend who is a computer genius. He helped us take down the rumor before it was shared on social media but i still don't know how San-Ra got hold of it."
Saying that Nam-su stared at San-Ra including Su-An.
San-Ra gulped because she knew she was in big trouble.
