Polar bears may seem fluffy due to their appearance. Clean and white. However, even the cleanest animals look scary when splattered with a different colour. After eating, polar bears' mouths are filled with red. Showing they had a good meal.

Minjoo thought people are like that too. Literally and figuratively. Being exposed to businesses because of her parents' careers, she knows how low people can go when it means they will succeed. She knows a lot of people stained with the colour red. 

Red is acquainted with passion, and somehow she understands that. People are so passionate about succeeding they would do anything, even it means their hands would be stained by the devil's colour.

Minjoo was never the type to be outgoing, mostly because she was never given the opportunity to do so. So she would rather observe her surroundings than try out different things. She thought it would be safer like that.

While her academy sessions were ongoing, she would observe the people in the same classes as her. She would notice how one of the girls would be sleeping beside another one who was always eating. Others would keep writing notes on what the instructor would teach them while others don't mind writing down anything and would prefer to just listen.

Minjoo was more of the latter. She would rather write down everything the instructor says. She can't afford to make a mistake. Her parents wouldn't like that.

While she was writing down her notes though, the student next to her placed a note on her desk. She looked at her and the student just pointed at the note, urging her to read it.

'The next instructor won't be here. Do you want to go and eat with us? Just at the restaurant at the front. - Chaeyeon.'

Chaeyeon? Minjoo knew who she was, the girl goes to the school near hers and they sometimes go to the academy together when they manage to catch each other on the way. She looked at her again and saw the girl smiling at her. 

Minjoo thought about it. If the instructor won't be there, that means she has an hour and a half before she would need to head home. But then she thought what if her parents found out? Would they get angry?

She never did anything to anger her parents. She didn't want to know what it would take to anger them though.

"Minjoo." She looked at Chaeyeon when she heard her whisper her name, "we won't stay there for long. We'll just eat dinner with the others then we'll all head home right after. I promise."

Minjoo always wondered how it felt to have different colours surrounding her.
