On the train, almost everyone is sleeping.

 

Minjoo falls asleep and her head is hanging, swaying with the train's movements. 

 

Yujin holds Minjoo's head and lets it lean against her shoulder.

 

Eunbi is listening to music, sititng by herself, and looks at Sakura, who is also sitting by herself.

 

Sakura is leaning her head towards the window, looking sullen, staring at the reflection of Chaeyeon. 

 

"Jjaeyeon..."

 

Eunbi's eyebrows creases.

 

On the other hand, Chaeyeon is looking back at Sakura from the reflection on the window.

 

The window is foggy and Chaeyeon starts writing something on the window.

 

사쿠라

 

-----------------------------------

 

"Yo Sakura! You came to school today!" Daehwi says, with two other sidekicks at the side.

 

Sakura looks confused.

 

"Oh! My heart!" Daniel imitates Sakura.

 

Sakura points her finger at them.

 

"I'll recover, I'll recover completely!"

 

"Yeah, to have a good time with the love of your life Kwon Eunbi you should recover quickly!" Dongpyo chips in.

 

"A good time!"

 

"A good time!"

 

They join hands and circle around Sakura.

 

Sakura rolls her eyes.

 

"I have no time to listen to this. From today onwards, I'll be working on this amazing project to change my fate. So move."

 

Sakura moves and Daehwi puts up a hand to stop her.

 

"A project? What project?"

The boys look at each other and shout out in unison.

 

"A project to win Eunbi's heart!" 

 

And they circle around Sakura again.

 

Then, Eunbi walks towards them and the boys stop.

 

"Oh, Eunbi."

"Eunbi, you're here."

 

They scratch their heads nervously. Eunbi just looks at Sakura and walks off.

 

The boys make sure Eunbi is gone and continues circling her.

 

Eunbi looks a little weird...is it just me?

 

--------------------------------------------------

 

Yena puts up two boards on a canvas in the art classroom after class. On it are poloraid pictures that were taken during the summer camp.

 

"Everyone listen up! This is a great oppurtunity! All of these are one of a kind pictures and they are priced at 2000won, but for F3 it's 4000won! Come and have a look!"

 

Everyone rushes to looks at the boards and Yuri squeezes her way to the front to snatch all the Yujin photos.

 

Sakura remains seated and sighs at the chaotic scene. 

 

Yuri comes back with a bunch of photos.

 

"Sakura, look! It's a Yujin straight flush!" 

 

Sakura nods awkwardly, "Lucky you."

 

"We're not best friends for nothing! I got you a few photos too!" 

 

Yuri takes out two photos and hands them to Sakura.

 

The first photo is a photo of Sakura sulking while walking next to Eunbi for the Couple's Night Trekking.

 

The second photo is a photo of Sakura posing for the camera...

...with Chaeyeon in the background.

 

Sakura picks up the second photo excitedly.

 

"I only want this one!"

 

She stares at it happily until someone snatches it away.

 

"But I'm not in it." Eunbi says, looking at the photo.

 

"Yeah, that's why I'm only keeping this one." Sakura says and snatches the photo back, and continues to look at the photo.

 

Eunbi picks up the other photo and puts it in front of Sakura's face.

 

"Not this?"  

 

Sakura turns away and continues looking at the photo of Chaeyeon and her.

 

"Hey."

 

Sakura ignores Eunbi.

 

"Hey Miyawaki!" 

 

"What what what?" Sakura looks up at Eunbi, annoyed.

 

Eunbi looks angry.

 

She slams the table and walks away.

 

Yujin enters and the students surround her.

 

"What is this? What about my potrait rights?"

 

Yena scratches her head.

 

"Well, I have to pay for my films too..."

 

"What about my photos?"

 

"They were all sold out in minutes! You're really popular Yujin."

 

"All sold out..."

 

Yena starts packing up and Yujin notices a photo.

 

"Yena!" Yujin says, grabbing Yena's wrist tightly.

 

"Y-Yes?"

 

She plucks one of the photos off.

 

"I want this one."

 

It's a photo of Minjoo smiling happily by the sea.

 

"Minjoo?"

"Kim Minjoo?"

"What the heck!"

 

"It's all yours! You can have it for free, A3 made me so much money."

 

Yujin starts walking out of the room.

 

"What is going on?"

"Yujin!"

"Why?"

 

Yujin looks at the photo in her hands and smile.

 

Yujin walks out of class, looking at the picture in her hand and smiling...

...and bumps into Minjoo.

 

"Oh, um, hey Minjoo!" 

She quickly puts her hand behind her back,

 

Minjoo walks to the right, and Yujin blocks her.

Minjoo walks to the left, and Yujin blocks her again.

 

"What are you doing?" Minjoo says, looking up at Yujin.

 

"In the mountains you were so aggressive, but in school..."

 

"Hey! Don't say that! People might get the wrong idea!" Minjoo covers Yujin's mouth.

 

"Well, then let them think what they want to!"

 

Minjoo looks at Yujin, bewildered.

 

Chaewon passes by a window and sees the two of them talking, and frowns.

 

-------------------------------------------------

 

Sakura and Chaewon are on the link bridge.

 

"How did you deal with this?"

 

"Deal with what?"

 

"Everything. We can't do the things we want to do, we cant meet the people we want to see, we have to follow the plans."

 

"Right. But it can change!"

 

 Sakura turns to look at Chaewon.

 

"Are you sure?"

 

Sakura nods.

 

"She can't remember you, isn't that frustrating? Even I find it frustrating."

 

Sakura rests her chin on her hands.

 

"Whether I'm on stage or not, I only get to see Minjoo from behind."

 

"If you try, you can see Minjoo from the front too! Look!"

 

Sakura points to Minjoo who is walking under the bridge, her back facing them.

 

"This time, her back is facing me too."

 

"You can change it too! Both you and I can change our fate!"

 

Sakura pushes Chaewon away.

 

"Follow her."

 

"What? Now?"

 

"Yes! Go go go!"
 

Chaewon runs off and Sakura smiles.

 

----------------------------------------------

 

"Minjoo!"

 

Chaewon catches up with Minjoo, and finally faces her.

 

"Chaewon? Where are you going?"

 

Chaewon pants.

 

"I came..."

 

Minjoo looks at Chaewon.

 

"...to see you."

 

Chaewon smiles.

 

------------------------------------------------

 

Sakura is in the kitchen helping Mint Choco Fairy out.

 

"The two of them have been so lovey-dovey ever since camp, it makes me cringe so much!" Sakura says while wiping a plate.

 

"Did you have fun?" Mint Choco Fairy asks, smiling at Sakura's reactions.

 

"Yes! Absolutely!"

 

Sakura puts the plate back on the rack.

 

"But something weird happened too. I guess I was tired from spending too much time with Jjaeyeon."

 

"Jjaeyeon?"

 

"No, Jjaeyeon!"

 

"Chaeyeon?"

 

"Yeah! Why does everyone get so confused? Anyway, being with her changes the storyboard!"

 

Mint Choco Fairy looks down.

 

"I'm sure you don't believe me."

 

Sakura takes another plate.

 

"So you gave her a name?"

 

Mint Choco Fairy puts down her plate and faces Sakura.

 

"Do you know what giving her a name means?"

 

Sakura shakes her head.

 

"You're an extra in this comic book."

 

"I know that, so what?"

 

Sakura pouts and wipes her plate.

 

"Extras exist for the main characters."

 

Sakura rolls her eyes.

 

"I've been helping them all this time!"

 

"When extras get names and start acting on their own..."

 

Mint Choco Fairy's eyes no longer look friendly.

 

"...everything will go wrong."

 

Sakura looks at Mint Choco Fairy.

 

"Leave."

 

Mint Choco Fairy walks off and Sakura shouts after her.

 

"What? Everything will go wrong? If something changes my heart might become healthy! Who knows?!"

 

Sakura looks down and continues wiping a plate.

 

"Why would she suddenly become so serious..."

 

Sakura pouts.

 

"Everything will go wrong?"

 

-------------------------------------------------

 

Sakura goes home and sees her father watering some flowers.

 

"Dad!"

 

Sakura runs up to her father and hugs him.

 

"Oh, Sakura! You look happy today!"

 

"I am!"

 

"Sakura, look at this! Do you remember planting your Mum's flowers?"

 

Mr Miyawaki says, holding up a pot of flowers with a sign on the front with a child's handwriting that wrote 'Mum's Flowers'.

 

"I planted them with Mum! How could I forget?"

 

Sakura takes the pot of flowers.

 

"They bloom so beautifully every year, it's like your mother visiting you every year."

 

Sakura smiles.

 

"You're right, it's as beautiful as Mum."

 

-----------------------------------------------------

 

Sakura goes to her room to unpack her things, and takes the photo of her and Chaeyeon out. She places it on her desk next to the photos of her when she was a child.

 

Little Sakura came home from school one day and found her mother planting flowers in the garden.

 

"Mum!"

 

Sakura runs into her mother's arms.

 

"Sakura, look at this, isn't it beautiful?"

 

Sakura nods.

 

"Do you know what type of flower this is?" Her father asks.

 

Sakura shakes her head.

 

"It's Mum's Flowers."

 

"Mum's Flowers." Sakura repeats.

 

"Then what is this?" Her father takes out another flower.

 

"Dad's Flower!"

 

"It's Sakura's Flower." Her mother says.

 

"What is this?" Her father takes out another one.

 

"Eunbi's Flower!"

 

"Eunbi's Flower?" Her mother smiles and pinches Sakura's cheeks.

 

The whole family laughs happily.

 

Sakura holds the photo of her and her parents in her hand.

 

"Even if I'm in a comic book, and everything is decided by the writer..."

 

Sakura touches her mother's face.

 

"...my feelings are real."

 

Sakura smiles.

 

"So I'll change it by all means. The way I want."

 

-------------------------------------------------------------

 

Chaeyeon is sketching in the art classroom late at night.

All you can here is the sound of the pencil on the canvas.

On the canvas is a sketch of Sakura holding up the pendant they found together during summer camp.

Chaeyeon finishes sketching and looks at the pendant she sketched.

Suddenly, she takes the comic book out and flips to the scene where Sakura gave Eunbi a keychain with an orange flower.

She compares the pendant and the keychain side by side, and closes the book.

Chaeyeon takes her drawing and walks off.

 

--------------------------------------------------------------

 

Two girls are carrying a box to the gym.

 

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah."

 

The girls continue struggling to carry the box.

 

"Actually no, let's stop for a while."

 

They put the box down and Chaeyeon appears from behind, carrying the box easily.

 

"I'll help you take it to the gym."

 

She walks off.

 

"But it's our job!" One of the girls stop her.

 

"No one cares about us extras anyway."

 

Chaeyeon says and walks off.

 

"Extras?"

"Anyway where did she come from?"
