Kairi was in a Korean airport. She smile as she saw her auntie do young. She run to her. She smile. She felt something in her. A deep pain. She smile. She got in the car. On the way. She gasp with pain. “kai?” asked do-young. She groan softly. “I’m fine. I felt something.” She said, smiling. She smile and stoke her brown hair. “I’ve found you a school. For after the holiday in a few months, sound good, right, kai?” she asked. “what kind of school?” asked kairi. “one for spiecal needs. Ed told me to let you go there. At a normal school, you would be an outcast.” She said. “of course he did.” she giggled. They went into the house. She smile as she saw her auntie’s husband mr woo. “hiya!” she said, cheerful. Now with a girl called lee Eun bi. A girl who attented noori high school, and in the 11th grade. “ah, school? I don’t really like going, but I feel anxious if I don’t go, if by any chance I can’t go to school anymore, I feel like I would want to go again, it’s weird, isn’t it? The time I hate most at school at school is when we have free period. I work around 3 part time jobs. When I graduate, I have to leave the love house. My dream is to be a teacher, I want to be a teacher who can catch onto kids’ lies, the things kids say, the things they hide.” She lived in tongyeong, south gyesonsgang province. “Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you!” sang some girls to a girl name kang so-young. “surpise!” they said. Eun bi was on her knees. Looking at the ground. She look up. “what are you doing?” asked eun bi. “but that’s not all.” Said the two. She grab her arms. “let go of me, let go of me!” she said. They push her to the ground. “step one, ba-bang, crack the egg. First you have to crack the egg.” Said one of them, throwing the egg on her. “step two! Ba-bang! On top of it, you have to pour a lot of flower” said another, pouring the flour on her. She close her eyes. “step 3, ba-bang! Finally, if you pour on the special sauce the spiecal cake is complete! So-young, happy birthday!” said the girls. When she didn’t say anything, eun bi clutched her hands tightly. “I’m kind of disappointed there isn’t any candles.” Said do-young.then she smile. “thanks, guys. I’m totally touch, I love you guys.” Said do-young. She clutched her hands tighter. She had to go into the showers but the smell didn’t leave, and she had to change into her p.e clothes. She sat down as her classmates gag and swipe the noses at the smell. “it’s strong, right? No matter how many times I used soap, the smell wouldn’t go away.” She said, smiling. “can you please get lost?” asked the girl next to her. “yeah, I will do that.” Said eun-bi. She moved her desk a bit. “teacher! I think someone farted. Something smells weird.” Said a girl. The girls laughed. She slam something on the table. “be quite! I will end the lesson here today. Lee Eun Bi, come to the teacher’s office. It’s not a day or two, why are you the only one wearing your gym clothes. I think I gave you a warning before, too. Could it be someone is bothering you? You have to tell me truthfully in order to help you” said her teacher. She took a minute, then smile. “no, there’s nothing like that.” She lied. She walked in the corriders as they laughed at her. For the whole day Now witgh kairi. She was studying at home. She winkled her nose. She put her arm to her nose and sniffed then gag. “auntie do-young?” asked kairi. “yes, kai?” she asked, smiling at her youngest neice. “can I get a shower? I think I smell a bit.” She said. “ok, love. Then I’ll make your favourite, ok?” she asked. “chilli? With musrooms?” she asked. “of course.” She said, smiling at her. “thanks, auntie do-young.” She said. She put her book down, and head upstairs. She chuckled at her niece. Now with eun bi. At the house of love, which is an orphanage. She saw two boys fight over the soup again. “young woo! Seung min! what are you doing right now?” she asked pointing a soup spoon at them. “this is mine, I’m telling you it’s mine!” they agured. Then the bowl went flying. “there is plently of soup, why are you fighting?” asked eun bi. “that one doesn’t have a lot of onion or radish.” Said a little girl. Then to the boys. “you two…if you don’t eat vegetables, this unnie will…” she started. “this is so that you….” Started eun bi. “grow up strong and healthy!” said all the kids. “even so, noona,” started young woo. “please let us off the hook this once!” said seung min. “you cute little rascals. If you do this, then my heart… you’d thought I’d caved in but no, I will not. Without leaving a single vegetable, eat every single thing!” She said. They moaned. “everyone be quite.” She said. “yes!” they said. “put the plates in the sink. Brush your teeth thoroughly. You can do well right?” She said. “yes!” they said. Later. She was doing the washing then she notice a rip in a girl’s shirt. She went to a little girl and lift her shirt up, even through she tried to keep it down but in the end give up. She lift it to see a dark bruise. She push it down again. “Ra jinn, what’s wrong here?” asked eun bi. “I fell.” She said. Not looking at her. “why? How did you fell?” she asked. “just…while playing with the other kids…” she said. She smile then took her face in her hands. “Look at my eyes and talk, it’s ok.” She said. Then she start to cry. They went to the house. “student, why are you making such a big deal when they are just playing as friends?” asked the mother of the boy. “Ahjumma, it’s called playing when the person is having fun, but our ra jinn wasn’t enjoying it even one bit! And she was hurt!” said eun bi, sternly. “so what?” asked the mother. She sighed. “dong woo, apologise to our Ra jinn. Also, promise that you won’t bother her again. Until you do so, I’m not moving an inch from here tonight.” Said eun bi. Then she sat on the ground. Dong woo’s mother sighed and give him a push. “why are you hiding? Just apologise, hurry up!” said dong-woo’s mother. “sorry…I won’t do it again.” Said dong-woo. Ra-jinn look to eun bi. She nod. she nod to him. “promise?” asked ra jinn. Putting out her pinkie, he did the same and their thumbs touch. Run bi smiled and got up. “student, that’s enough, right?” asked dong-woo’s mother. She push him in the house. “let’s go” said eun bi. They heard the mother and the boy. They stopped. “should I carry you?” asked Eun bi. Soon enough, she got carried on her back. “Ra-Jinn, no matter how close a friend is, if you’re hurt, you have to say so. If you don’t like it, say you don’t like it, if you don’t want them to do something, tell them they can’t do it. If you do that, they won’t act so carelessly around you. Okay?” said Eun bi as she walked through the streets with her on her back. “just like you did back there?” she asked. “Yes.” She said. “thanks, Eun bi. You are a gift that God gave me in place of my mother.” Said Ra-jinn. Later at bed. “Everyday, magical things happened to sara. Everynight, she went back to the attic, new things appeared. The shabby room turn into a beautiful room fit for a princess.” Readed Eun Bi. Then Raa-Jinn snozze off. But Eun bi kept reading on. “no matter what, if anything bad happens, I’m sure there is someone in this world that thinks of me. She was no longer sad or lonely.” She readed then she gentle laid down Ra-Jinn and put the covers to her chin. Then a woman came in. “Eun Bi, do you want to come here for a second?” she asked her. They went to the kichen, she push a box to her. “it was delivered today, but it slipped my mind. Seeing that it’s from Gangnam, could it be that person that sent you the seekers the last time?” asked the carekeeper. She look to the bown box. “yes, it seems so.” Said Eun Bi with a smile. “I don’t know who it is, but they sure must like you a lot. That person keeps sending you gifts.” She said to eun bi. She smile and then open the pink box. “wow!” she said. She took out the note. “when I went to the store to buy my daughter one, I brought another one as I thought of you. Song mi-gyung.” Readed Eun bi. “hurry and look at your present” said the carekeeper. She took out the jumper. “how is it?” asked eun bi. “it’s really pretty.” She said. “it’s really amazing. The sneekers from last time were also a prefect fit. This is totally my style.” She said. Now with kairi. For some reason, she felt something. A bit of happiness, somewhere. But also deep sadness and misery. But that was the werid thing, one was where she was, Seoul. And the other some place else in korea. Now in Seoul. “Eun Beyoul! Ko Eun Beyoul!” shout her mother, song mi-gyung. She came down. To see some of her things on the coffe table. “mom, this isn’t a vacation. This is just a three night trip to tongyeong in south gyeongsang province. We’re going to take a bus, and then take some pictures of the Buddha temple, that’s all.” Said eun beyoul, with her arms crossed. “did I say that’s not true?” she asked eun beyoul. “just why do I need so many things?” she asked. “just in case you didn’t know what to take, I set everything up just in case. Pick just what you really want to take from here.” Said mi-gyung. “you’ve clearly said it.” She said. “you don’t believe your mom’s words?” she asked eun beyoul. She took some money and her brush. “what the heck? That’s it?!” she asked eun beyoul. “that’s it.” She said. As she start to shut her case. “even so!” she said. “mom!” she said. “just a minute! Wait just a minute. She pick up a book. “then this! Just take this one thing with you! If you play too much, you’ll definetly get sick. So just look at this for a bit whenever you have nothing to do.” Said mi-gyung. “this is really too much.” Said eun beyoul. Then she chuckle and put it in the case. Then she notice a jumper she’d never seen again. And this one is the same one that run bi has. “I haven’t seen this shirt before.” Said mi-gyung. Eun beyoul took it from her and put it in the case. “I brought it with my friend.” She said. “why are you so about it? Do you think it’ll get dirty if I touch it?” she asked. Then they were at the school. “here you go.” Said mi-gyung. As she give her suit case. “I’ll be going now.” She said. “wait! Eun Beyoul, just a second.” Said mi-gyung as she took off her scaf and put it around her daugther’s neck. “when it’s cold at night, make sure to put this on. You have a weak respiratory system. You’ll get sick quite easily.” Said mi-gyung. She nod. “I will do that.” She said. Then after a moment. “mom, you know….” She started. After a moment. “it’s nothing.” Said Eun Beyoul. “hmm” said mi-gyung. “I’m saying that for the time that I’m gone, please, sleep well!” said Eun Beyoul. “I got it.” She said. She put both hands on her cheeks. “have fun and come back safety, my daughter.” Said mi-gyung. “Mom, I’ll be back.” She said. As she step back and waved at her. Later as they were in the field. “Has song-joo still not come?” asked run beyoul. “she’s probably late because she’s trying to get all pretty first.” Said her friend, lee shi-jinn. Then they saw her. “she’s coming.” She said. She came closer. “here!” said shi-jinn. She took off the glasses. “so annoying. No matter what, this uniform doesn’t look good.” Said song-joo. “it’s all right. Your body is your edge, after all.” Said eun byeoul. “ko Eun beyoul, you’ve made a good observation.” Said song-joo. Then shi-jinn notce they had the same trainers on. “your shoes are pretty, guys.” She said. They look to each other. “ta-daa!” they said. To show they had the same bag as well. “what the heck?! It’s so embrassing! Are you two dating?” she said. “you thought this was the end of it, didn’t you? We even matched our to perfection.” She made a face. “ah, really…” said eun beyoul. “Hot pink! You fogot, didn’t you?” asked song-joo. “I wore it” said eun beyoul. “what a liar! Your face always get so serious whenever you lie. Let’s see.” Said song-joo. Going for her skirt. “what?!” asked eun beyoul as she avde her friend. “stop it, cha song-joo!” said eun beyoul. “ah, come here!” said song-joo. “what is it? What colour is it? I want to see too!” said a boy. “show you what?” asked Eun beyoul. “get lost” said song-joo. “show us! Show us!” said the boys. “now, now, attention!” said mr kim. They turn to him. “I’ll say it again, to make an enjoyable trip, the first rule is safety. The second one is safety, the third one is safety, if you’re feeling werid or sick, you have to tell the teachers immediately, so you can be taken to the hospital. Don’t leave the group without telling the teachers, don’t eat food from strangers.” Said mr kim. “he sure likes safety” said one of the boys at the back. “yes!” said his friends. “class president, are we waiting on anyone else?” asked mr Kim. “Kong Tae Kwang is absent for personal reasons, and han yi anh has a competition. Aside from those two, everyone is here.” Said a boy with glasses. Now with I-han. “this is the 400m high school freestyle competition! The compeitioners are going to start strechting. The unquie thing about this 400m race is that all rookies made it to the finale. Ah, that’s right, in the third land, han yi ahn from sekang high school the two are mostly to likely the contenders we’re looking forward to it” said a guy on the P.A. they gto ready then after the bell went. They jump in. and swam. I han won. Eun beyoul was listening to it. “hey, what are you listening to?” asked ssong-joo. “just…” said eun beyoul. “let’s listen together” she said as she was about to put the ear pug in her ear. “your make-up’s messed up.” Said eun beyoul. “where?” she asked, giving it back to her and went into her make up bag. She took out the ear plugs and turn her phone over. Flashback. “contrgaultions, Ihan. You’re lucky to win a lot of medals. But is this really gold? Give me just one!” said a young eun beyoul. “no. if you really want one, why don’t you try and get one?” asked a young i-han. “I’m not as good as a swimmer as you! Whatever…I don’t want it.” Said young eun beyoul. “I don’t want to give you this one to you. Instead, the next national competition, I’ll give you the first medal I win. How about that?” said i-han. “I don’t believe you. You won’t even give me this not really important medal. But you’re going to give me one from that huge compeitition?” She said, stubbornly. “silly, I’m not giving it to you because it’s not really important. Aigoo, forget it. It’s amazing that you can do well with that brain of yours.” He said. “hey! What did you say?” she push him into the water. Flashback ended. Then she notice a girl as they stop at the lights. “hey, look at that girl.” Said eun beyoul. Song-joo look to her. “she’s real pretty. She’s forgin.” She said. they then locked eyes. Big blue ocean-like eyes, filled of sadness were locked onto hers, a something came between them. “whoa! She has pretty eyes.” Said song-joo. Then they went. The girl odivously walked across the road. Why is she familiar? Those sad eyes…she thought. Then i-han texted her telling her he’s got the gold medal. “what about it?” she texted back., “just saying it.” He texted. “good, we’re at the rest stop now.” She texted. “I can get to Tongyeong easily from here.” He texted. “so what?” she texted him. “just saying it.” He texted. Song gyeong went to a coffie shop to meet some mothers along with another, but they were about to leave but manage to get them to stay. Now at the rest stop. Song-joo start to squeal. “what do I do?! Hey, eun beyoul!” she squealed. She went to her at the sinks. “I heard i-han won the gold medal, isn’t he cool?” she said. “really? He did well.” She said. “what? That’s all?” asked song-joo. “of course that’s all, was I the one who won it?” said eun beyoul. “eun beyoul, did you frought again?” asked song-joo. She smile. “why do you guys fight each other to your necks?” asked song-joo. “hey, it’s because ever since I was little, I’ve seen everything, I was allowed and not allowed to see, why? Then what? Should we be dancing like this?” said eun beyoul. Then she start to make her shoulders jump. “oh my gosh!” laughed song-joo. Eun beyoul check her phone outside and her smile fade. “just because it’s something that’s in the past, it doesn’t mean it hasn’t happened.” Someone had texted her. “jung soo jinn.” She readed the name. her phone slipped out her hands. And fell on the floor. Her hands shook then song-joo put an arm around her. “hey, that’s mine!” she said. she saw her phone on the ground. “eun-beyoul, you’re so clumsy.” Said song-joo. As she wipe at it. Eun beyoul grab it. “hey.” She said. she walked awau. “hey, ko eun beyoul!” she shout after her but she kept walking. The mother left and talked about eun byoul and soo-jin. But she evade it. Now with eun byeol. “did something happened?” asked shi-jinn. “no, there wasn’t time for anything to happen. Eun byeol, why are you suddenly like this?” said song-joo. “it’s nothing.” Said eun byeol, lying. She took some kind of food on a stick. “did something bad happened?” asked song-joo. She didn’t say anything. “I’m getting frustrated, eat this and say something.” Said song-joo. “I don’t feel like it.” Said eun byeol. “you want it since you’re smelling it, right? Say ah!” she said. she got her in the stomache. Making her drop it. “I told you I don’t want to! What’s wrong with you?” snapped eun byeol. “hey, are you okay?” asked lee shin-jinn. Giving her a tissue. “eun byeol, aren’t you being a bit too much?” she asked, as she wipe at her skirt. They look to each other. “everyone, it’s tongyeong!” said a boy through a P.A. then everyone cheered apart from eun byeol. “kairi….” She said. Now with kairi. She laid in bed. She locked her door. Silent tears fell. The girl on the bus…she was so familiar but yet she can’t remember. “kairi, dear. Let me in” kairi covered her ears. Ra jinn put a wet cloth on eun bi. She woke and took the cloth off her head. “Ra Jinn, you can stop now. I’m fine.” She said. she put her hand to her head. “you’re still hot.” Said ra jinn. “I’m serious. Thanks to you, I’m all better, ra jinn. Did you worry a lot?” said eun bi. Smoothing her hair. She nod. “eun bi, if you go to school, you have a lot of friends. And your popularity is great in love house. But if you’re sick, I don’t have anyone.” Said Ra Jinn. “Okay. I won’t ever be sick again.” Said eun bi. Then they smile. “should we make Ra Jinn’s favourite spicy rice cakes?” she asked her. “yeah! Spicey rice cakes! Really spicey!” said Ra Jinn. “alright!” she said. then the bell went off. “huh? Who is it?” asked ra jinn. She went out. “eun bi! Come quick!” said ra jinn. She did. “oh, eun bi’s here!” said the caretaker. It was the three bullies! Ahhh! “eun bi! Are you okay?” asked keong-so yeoong. She looked to them shocked. “do you know how worried we were?” asked keong-yeong. “how did you come here?” asked the caretaker. “we were originally going to volunteer at a senior house center. But we heard eun bi was sick, so we changed our plan to volunteering. Is that fine?” she said. “we’re thankful. I’m open to eun bi’s friends coming over anytime.” She said. “thank you” they all said, bowing. “anyway, eat!” she said. Later. She took a box to one of the girls. “hey, outcast girl! You do this, you’re going to eat it. Isn’t this all funded by the tax our parents paid?” asked two girls. One of them nodded. “so if you have any sense, work for us too.” Said one of them. She turn to them, disgusted. “yeah, don’t just try to receive.” Said keong-so-yeong, slapping her with a glove. Eun bi grab her wist. “Eun bi!” Said ra jinn. She let go. “oh my! It’s you!” said do-yeong. She went to her. “we’ve heard a lot about you from eun bi! Your name is….what is it?” she said. “ra jin.” Said ra jin. “oh right, ra jin.” She said. “but why were you just doing that to my sister?” ra jin asked her. “ra jin, that was…” said eun bi. “can’t you tell just from looking?” asked do-yeong. She went to her. “we were just playing around.” Said do-yeong. She did it again. “playing.” She said. “playing around is when the person is also having fun. Eun bi, are you having fun right now? Or are you hurt?” asked ra jin. After a moment. “it is just playing around. I’m having fun too.” Lied eun bi. After a moment. “ah, so it is! Then again, you’re really popluar!” said ra jinn. The two girls at the back bust into giggles. “is that what you’re doing? Playing navie with the kids?” asked do-yeong. “there’s nothing my sister can’t do! She can make spicey rice cakes really well too. Right eun bi?” said ra jin. “yeah” she said. “really? What do you put in it to make it so good? Maybe…eel fish sauce?” asked do-yeong. The two girls bust into laughs. Later at the table. “I’m really thankful for today.” Said the caretaker. “don’t meation it.” Said do-yeong. “by the way, I’m worried because I think eun bi is still in a lot of pain.W she said. “lighten your expression, eun bi. Look at that sweat. Are you okay?” said do-yeong. “that director…” started eun bi. “the scholarship funding program process my father set up…they’re searching for a new group, so…I was planning to suggest the love house.” She said. “if you could do that, I’ll be thankful.” Said the director. “her father is a prosecutor for kang, llsan. Did you know that?” said one of the girls. “who wouldn’t know him in tongyeong? I didn’t recongize love’s house savior’s daughter. You must have that warm heart from your father.” She said, taking her hand. “no. I owe a lot of things to eun bi. Ever since I came from seoul…she’s a friend who has helped me a lot.” She said. “our eun bi did that? You guys worked hard, so eat already.” She said. Later at night with eun beyol. She was looking at her book. She was looking at a picture of the love house and it had eun bi. And also looking at a school picture of the islands, her and kairi were sitting nect to each other when they were little. Then her phone rang. She walked out. But not before almost bumping into song-joo. She walked past her. Now with kairi. She was reading a letter from ed. but she was distracted. The pains won’t just leave. Now with eun bi. She had text to meet do-yeong which is probably aa bad idea. She went to her. “you’re doing all kind of things now. Telling a person to meet you in the late of the night.” Said do-yeong. After a moment. “what do you have to say?” she asked. “just now…you said your father’s scholarship fund is looking for a new group. Is that true?” said eun bi,. “why? Are you interested?” she asked. After moment. “I thought you wanted it because of me.” She said. “the director of love house is having difficulties lately. It’s not a situation of her liking me or not.” Said eun bi. “what are you talking about? If you want to ask for a favour, do it right.” She snapped. Then after a second. “so what? Are you asking for help or saying you don’t want it?” do-yeong asked. “help me, I’m begging you.” Said eun bi. “did my dad come home? I’ll just call him.” she said. she put her hands through her tousers pockets but it wasn’t there. On purpose no doubt. “ah, right. I left my phone behind. Can I borrow it? This seems really urgent.” Said do-keong. Shi-jinn went looking for eun byeol, she found her but with a guy. They look like they were aguring. “who is that?” she wondered. She watch as eun byeol ran from him. “a guy?” she asked. Now with kairi. She couldn’t sleep, she sat by her window still. Looking out. The pain was getting sharper and intense. And no way will she be using her comlink to speak to yoda. Not now, not yet, unless if it gets worse. Now with eun bi. Do-yeong was texting bad things on her phone. “what did he say?” asked eun bi. “what? Ah, there’s going to be great news. Just wait.” Said do-yeong. Her phone made a nosie. “a call is coming. Answer it” she said. she took the phone. And answer it, but the voice was angery. She hang up. Do-yeong start to giggle. “hey, scholarship?” she asked eun bi. She got up. “you’re funny. Ra jin, is that her name? she said this. When she’s older, she says she wants to be an amazing sister like you. She doesn’t even know you’re like this. I’ll pray your sister will become just like you. Goodbye.” She said. she start to leave. “kang-so yeong.” Said eun bi. She turn around to face her. “you’re really hopeless.” She said. “what did you just say?” she asked. “you think you’ve got everything you wanted? But, did you know what? In my eyes…from the first time you came in elementary school….you looked pitiful.” She said then she smacked her. She looked to her. “really? You must have had a hard time hiding your true feelings. Say more.” She said, pushing her. She didn’t say anything. “say more!” she said, giving her a harder push. She fell. She found a pole, “go away! I told you to go away! Go!” said eun bi. Then do-yeong saw a carama. “if you think you can hit me, hit me!” she said. then she grab it and brought her towards. “you can’t even look straight at me in the eyes. But what? You pity me?” she asked then they start to stuggle. Then she flung herself against metal then a bunch of poles start to fall. “so yeong!” said eun bi. She went over her. Now with kairi. She woke up in sweat. She sighed and rolled over and close her eyes. The next day. Eun byeol, song-joo and shi-jinn were going up in a cart. “eun beyol.” Started shin-lee. As she flung her hair back she saw a nasty bruise. Then remembered about last night. Later at the coffe shop. She brought all three of them some milkshake. “how about eun byeol?” she asked song-joo. “let her be, it’s annoying.” She told her. “eun beyol is acting a bit weird lately, right? Truthfully, last night….” She said to song-joo. “I know, she was studying in her room all alone. She’s my friend, but she doesn’t have manner sometimes. She just got angery at everything and ruined everybody’s mood. And then she just started studying.” Said song-joo. “it is weird.” She admitted. “hey. Don’t worry about eun byeol. And let’s play together, just the two of us.” Said song-joo. She got interested and forgot about last night. “what should we do?” she asked. Now with eun byeol. She start to call love house. Then someone picked up. “hello? Is this love house? Yes, hello. I’m eun bi’s friend, kyung ah. I’m her friend from middle school. Can you tell me eun bi’s phone number?” she asked but eun bi was working in that coffie shop! Right under her nose! “are you going to order?” she asked a woman. The woman told her. “it’s W50000. Bye.” She said./ “how can you do such a scary deed? Go to the hospital and apologize before the school starts to call a meeting for this.” The director had told her. “isn’t someone calling you?” asked a worker. She look. So someone was. Eun beyol end it. Then she start to call ed warren. “hello? Is this the warren restiance?” then she smile. “my name is song-shi, I was a friend of kairi’s in destiny islands.” She said. “yeah, oh, do you have her number?” she asked. He told her. He sound exitected. She was beginning to wonder why. Surely, kairi has friends? She was kind and gentle the last time she saw her but her idiot of adoptive father, billy, had abused her, she tried to help but got sent away. She start to call her but she picked up. “hello?” she asked,. She sound sadder than before on the islands as if she has seen far too much in her life/ “who is this?” she asked. She end the call. She was in seoul! But she needs to find out what she’s been up to for the last 11 years since they met and got separated. She got up and walked right past eun bi. “jung lee, there’s an urgent matter, can I leave work early?” she asked her co-woker. “yes.” She said. “thank you!” she said. Now with song-joo. She was putting make up on shi-jinn. “it’s finished.” She said. she tunr her to the mirror. “set your expeactions high and ta-da!” she said. she had her hands near . “hey! Why? Don’t mess with it! It looks y!” said song-joo. They saw eun beyol come. And went into a cabinet. “let’s go” she said. Now with eun beyol. She breathed. Then the lights went out. She looked up alarm. She heard footsteps. “is there anyone there?” she asked but no answer. “is it you again? Until when are you going to stop doing this?!” she shouted. Then she looked around. Then upp., she screamed. A boy from her school came down. To see shin-lee come out but he heard a scream. “hey, lee shi jin!” he said, following her. “cha song joo!” she said. “what?” she asked. “we can’t take the group photo. Hurry up.” He said. “ok” she said. “let’s go” said song-joo. “ok” she said. she hestaiated, looking back at the woman’s rest room. “hey! Let’s take a picture. Gather round!” said a boy through the mic. Eun bi was coming down that moment. They got in pristion and took a picture but it end up getting eun bi in it too. Now with kairi. She looked at the mysterious number again. She bit her lips. She went down. “auntie do-young?” asked kairi. “what is it?” she asked. “someone phone me earlier but hang up on me. How did the person got my number?” said kairi. “ed phone me a moment a ago, someone who used to live on the islands asked for it, saying they were an old friend of yours.” She said. “what? Really?” she frown deeply. “I can’t imagine who. My memories are still fuzzy as a sheeps wool” said kairi. “don’t worry, mine came back, so will yours.” Said do-young. Kairi smile. “hope so, then I can figure it out. Maybe it was…” she said. but then banished that thought. “who?” asked do-young. “no one.” She said. Now back at the coffie shop. “did everyone come?” asked mr kim. They stand up. “for people who didn’t come,m raise their hand” said mr kim. “right here!” joked two boys. “three people left. Everyone come expect one person.” Said the boy with glasses. “who’s that one person?” he asked him. “that person is me!” said a boy. They laughed. “hey, quickly, who is it?” he asked. “who is that one person?” they asked. “teacher…eun byeoul….eun byul isn’t here.” Said song-joo. “call her.” Said mr kim. Shi-jinn start to call her. After a moment. “her phone is off.” She said, worriedly. “hey, where is the last place you last saw ko eun beyul?” asked mr kim to the whole class. “I saw her teacher! I think she was pooping in the bathroom!” said a boy they chuckled. They went back to the coffe shop. Song-joo went to the girls’ restroom. They checked everyone but she wasn’t there. “where the heck did this girl go?” asked song-joo. They kept searching for her, calling out her name. Mr kim got the workers to look at the cctv. “wait! Wait! Stop there!” he said. but it was only girl who looked like her, not eun bi, someone else. “going through this mupitle times doesn’t help you find a person. You can’t find a person by looking at this for a few mintues.” Said the man. “possibly, did eun byul say something special or do anything out of the originally?” asked another teacher. “she just looked like she was in a bad mood. She’s pretty sensitive.” Said song-joo. “how about you, lee shin-jin? Did you feel anything out of the orgainary?” asked mr kim. “there…” she started. “what? Just say it” said mr kim. “yesterday night, I saw eun byul fight with a guy.” She said. “what?” asked song-joo. “a guy?” asked the other teacher. Kairi sighed. Hen she picked up her bag to put it away then something fell out. A bracelet. A charm bracelet that looked nothing like her family bracelet. She picked it up. It had two charms, a mic and a notebook. She didn’t recongize it but a memory was fuzzy. But she heard a voice. “kai, I promise, even if billy makes me go away, I’ll never forget you, BFF?” asked a girl. “Best friends forever and ever.” She had said. the girl laughed. “you’re so cheesy, kai” the girl said. Kairi suddenly had tears running down her face. “who…are you? How could I forget?” she asked. She fell to her knees. Crying silently. She could tell she was Korean. She had the accent in her voice. “best friends forever.” She mumbled. She rub her eyes. She put the bracelet on her wist. No way will she ever be taking this off. Now with eun byul’s mother. Mi-gyung. “bad bastard, she doesn’t even contact me.” She said, eating a strawberry. Ten she picked up her phone. “is she sleeping already?” she asked after a moment. “yeah, right, sleeping. She’s probably playing around right now.” She said. she press the call button. But it answered with a voice from her phone. Telling the person was unreachable. Now with the others. Song-joo phone rang. And she answer it, hoping it to be eun byeol. “hello?” she asked. “ajumma! Eun byeoul…” said song-joo. She was tearing up. mi-gyung was going to the door. Worried sick. “key…” she said. she got into the car. But went the wrong way. I han was on it but he didn’t jump. Worried about eun byeol. “eun byeol, where are you?” he thought. Now with mi-gyung. She got to an office. “eun byeol’s mother…” said mr kim. She run past him. and saw her suitcase. And school bag. “mom, I’m leaving!” eun byeol had said. she had left with a huge smile on her face. “teacher….my….how about my eun byeol?” she asked. “we are also waiting to be contacted about it. The other kids are all there, but why isn’t my eun byeol there?” she asked. They couldn’t answer. “they all went together. But how come eun byeol is the only person you didn’t bring back? Why?” she asked. She was now crying. “how come my eun byeol is the only one who can’t go home now?! Why?! Why?!” she cried, grabbing mr kim’s cardigan. “mother, please, don’t be like this and calm down a bit.” Said the teacher beside him. “no, just go, go quickly. Teacher han, you can’t be like this right now! Go!” said mi-gyung. “the police are searching, please wait for now.” Said mr kim. “who know what will happen if we’re late?!” shouted mi-gyung. She touch the suitcase. “eun byul….eun byul….” She said, crying. Now with kairi. She was reading a book. She checked her phone, no call from the mysterious person. Now with eun bi. “our so-yeong needs counselling. And to be sitting next to the student who caused this very hard for her now..” said so-yeong’s mother. “student lee eun bi, apologize to student kang-so-yeong sincerely.” said the headmaster. She stand up. “i…didn’t do anything wrong.” She said. they start talking. “I’ve thought about it, and thought about it. And I thought about it one more time. I am innocent.” Said run bi. So-yeong’s mother came to her about to slapped her but she close her eyes but her husband had stopped her. “calm down” he said. “I ask the committee to make a wise decision and decide on the proper decision on this. Let’s go” she said, taking her hand and leaving. So did her father. “prosector kang!” said a teacher. Soon she signed some papers. “your withdrawel…it’ll be a process of two weeks. You can go now.” Said a female teacher gentle. “teacher! I’ll go watch today’s lesson to the end and leave. Today’s the last day of school for me, and I don’t want to leave like I got kicked out.” Said eun bi with a smile. She went to her class and saw people had wrote on her table. “lee eun bi! I heard you got expelled!” said a girl. “after sending those threatening texts to us and sending so yeong to the hospital, the punishment is rather mild.” Said another. “eun bi…don’t be sad that you can’t see me anymore. I’ll find out where you’ll work and play with you a lot then.” Said so-yeong. “so generous” said one of the girls. Clapping for her. “I have one last thing I have to ask you.” Said eun bi, she look to her. “why are you like this to me?” she asked. “are you curious? Then I guess I have to tell you. Just….because. I hate you just because you’re eun bi. It smells like eun bi.” Said so-yeong. “isn’t this smell like a sand eel?” she then asked. “I made that up” said her friend. “of course.” Said her other friend. “you, kang so-yeong, how low are you going to go? You’re at the lowest point right now.” Said eun bi. “this bastard, really.” Said so-yeong. She went to her and they stared hard into each other eyes for a second. “guys, close the curtains.” She said. a few mintues later, her friends tried to force her clothes off her. “stop it! I told you to stop it! I told you to stop it!” she screamed. A girl saw the violent movement in the curtains. “try smiling, huh?” sneered so-yeong. “if you act up again…this video…I will spread it everywhere.” She said. the girl wanted to help her but felt afraid. Eun bi eventally ran out. Trying to wipe her tears. She walked out took her name pin off and drop it on the ground. She had change clothes and jump into the water. She had left a message on her desk. “goodbye, my friends” she had wrote. Kairi was reading a letter. Then suddenly felt dizzy. She stand up. Then she lost concius. When she woke. Her auntie was there. “auntie do-young?” asked kairi. “oh kai.” She said. “what happened?” she asked sitting up. “you fainted.” Said do-young. “how long was I out for?” she asked. She saw she had her pjs on now. “for a few hours.” She said. she rub her eyes. “I’m all right, I was just a bit dizzy, that’s all, auntie do-young. Promise” said kairi. She smile and rub her cheek. “be careful, kai. I’m not as young as I once was.” Said do-young. She grin. “I know” she said. she saw the bracelet still on her wist. “be careful” she said, getting up. “promise” she repeated. She sat on her window still. Looking out. This pain had became worst. It was full of suffering and intense pain. She sighed she look to her drawer. Wondering if it was a great idea or a bad idea to call master yoda. But she shook her head. “I’m sure she’s ok” she whispered. She looked out. “eun byeul.” She whispered.
