It's just Hee Do's luck that Yu Rim shows up and sits at the bus stop too.

Because Hee Do's day was apparently not bad enough just yet. She couldn't be left to sit there and cry her eyes out by herself. No, of course not: Ko Yu Rim herself has to find Hee Do sitting there with tears and snot all over her face. Of course she does.

And of course Yu Rim looks perfect, not a single hair out of place, even though they'd both just been run down at that brutal practice session at the NTC.
