When I arrived home with Donghae. I saw my appa and my stepmom crying while seating on the couch.

"Appa! She's here!" Jessica said as she stood up from the couch

My appa stood up and gave me a warm hug. He let go of me

"Where have you been? We've been looking for you" my appa asked

"You don't how worried we are" my stepmom said as she went closer to me

"I saw her at the streets" Donghae said

"What are you doing in the streets?" my appa asked

I bowed down shyly. I don't want to answer his question. If he'll know, I think he'll get mad

"I think she needs to rest. Go now to your room" my stepmom said

I looked at her and nodded

When I went upstairs, I heard appa and Donghae talking with each other. Donghae told what happened but he didn't told appa that

there were two drunk men playing on me. He didn't also told appa that I planned to go back to Incheon. I'm so lucky to have a 

friend named Donghae. 

When we stepped inside the school. Jessica asked me

"What are you planning again? Make appa and umma to get worried about you?"

"Aniya" I replied as I shooked my head

"Then, that's good!" she said and went to her classroom 

I went inside my classroom. Classes ended and started. While I was eating my lunch with Sulli and Gongchan. Gongchan asked

something

"Are you friends with Jessica?" 

"Waeyo?" I asked him curiously

"I saw you talking with her a while ago" 

I looked at Sulli. Sulli gave me a huge eyes. I looked back again to Gongchan

"Gongchan, I need to tell you something"

"What is it?"

"Please, don't tell it to anyone. You know, I trust you Gongchan"

He nodded

I took a deep breath "Jessica's my stepsister"

"Chincha?" his eyes went huge

I nodded

"So, you're also rich since she's rich"

"Her family's rich, not me"

"But, you're already part of their family, right?" he said as he took a sip from his drink

I sighed. Someone poked me behind. I looked behind and saw Donghae standing behind me. I stood up and he gave me a smile

"Gomawo for not telling appa of what happened yesterday night" I said

"Aniya. It's okay since that's what you want" he smiled at me

"What happened yesterday night, Xenia-sshi?" Sulli asked

I looked at her "Nothing"

I looked back at Donghae "So, what's up?"

"You're friends with Gongchan?" he asked as he looked at Gongchan

I looked at Gongchan. Gongchan smiled at Donghae. I looked back to Donghae

"Ne. He's my friend when I was stiil studyin in Incheon" I replied

"So, he transfered here because you're here?" Donghae asked

"Aniya! He decided first to study here but I took the entrance exam first"

Donghae nodded "I'll be going now"

I nodded and he went away

I sat back on my chair

"I never thought you're friends with him" Sulli said

"We're friends with him since we we're in 4th grade" I said

"Chincha?" Gongchan looked at me

"Ne. He transfered here when he was in 5th grade"

Sulli and Gongchan nodded

"No wonder why you're close with him. Don't you know that Jessica likes him?" Sulli lowered down her voice

"How did you know?" I asked her

"Because when we we're in 6th grade, Jessica and I we're close friends. She always share to me about a guy who knows how to

dance well and has a cute personality. One day, while we were in the library, she bumped to Donghae. So, they apologized with

each other and became friends" Sulli said

"It seems like you're not close with her right now" Gongchan said

"Because when we we're in 6th grade, she has new friends which is Tiffany and Hyoyeon. They are bad influence to her. When 

Jessica and I we're still close with each other, she got higher grades. But when Tiffany and Hyoyeon came to her life, she doesn't

like to study and she got lower grades"

Gongchan and I nodded

"Is Jessica and her best friends were classmates?" I asked Sulli

"Ne. Gongchan, you're classmates with them, right?" Sulli asked Gongchan

Gongchan nodded 

After our lunch, we went inside our classroom for our afternoon class
