Another new week starts and it's been a few days since Soo Jung and Jae Hyun saw each other. The last time she saw Jae Hyun was the day they had their date. She tried to visit their home but apparently he isn't there, some days he is absent too and Soo Jung tried to communicate with him through phone but he is not answering. Soo Jung is worried but she's hoping she see Jae Hyun again and try to talk with him, At the cafeteria, Soo Jung is spending her lunch break with Ji Ho and Su Min.

Ji Ho: "You haven't talk to him then?"

Soo Jung: "Yes...I don't know where he is and I want to know where can I see him."

Su Min: "It's funny how before Jae Hyun is the one worrying for you when you attended your orientation and now you're the one worrying this time."

Ji Ho: "I did tried to contact him but yep, he's not answering and sometimes his phone is off. What is he doing?!"

While Su Min is browsing on her phone, she got surprised from what she saw. Su Min pinched Ji Ho and showed her phone secretly down at the table. Ji Ho looked at her and looked at the phone. Ji Ho was surprised too. Soo Jung seems noticed them and said

Soo Jung: "What are you two both doing?"

Ji Ho: "Uh..nothing..uhm..yep it's nothing"

Su Min: "Yes, it's nothing don't worry." 

Soo Jung: "Hey, uhmm.. if you don't mind, I think I would go first..I'll just go to the library and get some references."

Ji Ho: "Okay, see you later at class"

Soo Jung stood up from her seat and walked away from Ji Ho and Su Min. When Soo Jung is already gone from their table. Ji Ho asked Su Min.

Ji Ho: "What is this?!"

Su Min: "I don't know too...the article just said that this popular model is dating Ahn Jae Hyun who is apparently a popular jock through out high school." They browsed the photos and it's Jae Hyun with the girl model. Ji Ho felt furious and said

Ji Ho: "What the heck is he doing?!"

Su Min: "To be honest, I want to refuse this, I know Jae Hyun isn't that type of a person but I don't know what happen." 

Ji Ho: "From what I know, Soo Jung said they had their date last week and it seems fine, she's actually blushing when she's telling it but..."

Ji Ho stood up and said

Ji Ho: "I have to find this bastard."

Su Min: "Hey! can you please calm down"

Ji Ho: "How can I calm down with this?! He's two timing her!"

Su Min: "Okay...we will find him but first let's find Soo Jung, I think she needs us more."

While Soo Jung is walking at the hallway, heading her way to the library, a group of girls somehow talking in their loud voices, boys too are in their phones, somehow felt stunned. When Soo Jung finally went to the library, she took a book and went to the long stride of bookshelves, while looking for references, it reminds her the day that Jae Hyun and her went on a date, where they kissed and that made Soo Jung smiled. When Soo Jung went further inside of the long stride of bookshelves, she heard whispers from girls.

Girl#1: "Hey do you happen to know this?!"

Girl#2: "What is it?" 

Girl#3: "Oh my god! is this for real?"

Girl#1: "I thought he's dating Soo Jung?"

Soo Jung somehow alarmed when the girl mentioned her name but she also thought that there might be another student whose name is Soo Jung. But Soo Jung kept somehow listening to them.

Girl#1: "Wow! two good looking people are dating and the most shocking thing is that Jae Hyun is dating Lee Yoo Bi."

When Soo Jung heard Jae Hyun's name associating with another girl, she felt a sudden gasp from her chest. 

Girl#2: "You know what, Lee Yoo Bi kept denying she's dating a guy but apparently she's dating the hottest guy in our school. I wonder where they met though?"

Girl#3: "What about Soo Jung? I mean I know they are an item here in our school. What happened to them though?"

Girl#1: "I don't know..maybe Jae Hyun got tired?! well at least two good looking people with decent status is together so I really won't mind Jae Hyun date Lee Yoo Bi because she's popular nowadays."

After the group of girls left, Soo Jung took her phone and she searched for that article. And she felt shocked, she saw the article and a picture of Jae Hyun and the girl, they happen that they were on a secret date at night and both of them were smiling. Soo Jung want to refuse to what she saw and read, she wants to throw her phone from seeing it, she fell down on her knees and tears came down, she cover and she kept on crying silently. Ji Ho and Su Min went inside of the library and they are looking for Soo Jung, Su Min happened to see Soo Jung first. Soo Jung is crying on the floor, Su Min went near to her and hug her. Su Min felt what Soo Jung's sadness. Ji Ho found them and he don't know what to say or what to do, he remained silent as they look both of them. While Su Min hug Soo Jung, Su Min tried to encourage Soo Jung

Su Min: "Soo Jung...I'm sorry..."

Soo Jung: "It hurts so much..." Soo Jung kept on sobbing

Soo Jung: "It hurts so much, my chest felt like it pierces in to pieces...why is he doing this?" 

Su Min didn't know what to say, she doesn't know the answer but the only thing she can do is be with Soo Jung. Ji Ho noticed that Soo Jung is attracting attention so Ji Ho went closer to Soo Jung and Su Min. Ji Ho touched Su Min's shoulder and said

Ji Ho: "We have to go somewhere, without other students."

Su Min: "Okay" Su Min looked at Soo Jung and asked

Su Min: "Can you stand up?"

Soo Jung nods her head but still crying when suddenly Ji Ho went closer to her and wiped her tears then carry Soo Jung. Soo Jung was surprised and said

Soo Jung: "You...don't have to do this...I can walk...Ji Ho..."

Ji Ho: "No! stay here, we will bring you out here, just hide on me for a while." Soo Jung looked at Ji Ho and Su Min. Su Min hold Soo Jung's hand and smiled at her.

Su Min: "Just trust us okay?" 

When Ji Ho step in and walked, Soo Jung hides her face in to Ji Ho's shoulder, the students were looking at them though they didn't know what happen, they've been caught with the attention. While they are walking, Ji Ho still carrying Soo Jung on her arms, Su Min glared at the students and said

Su Min: "Hey! Do you have nothing else to do than just stare at us? Mind your own busi
