Early morning.....

Hayoung is uncertain herself how to go to the school. She has already worn the school uniform and looking herself in the mirror.

" My image is so different."

She whispers and she sighs. She clearly knows that someone will bully her again. She hopes that it will not be Gong Minzy.

She picks up her bag and walks out of the house. Immmm, it is more convient to stay at Yookyung's house which is nearer than her house to school.

She told her family that she will be in Idol Hunt and she will stay with her friends during the whole new season. Her family was happy when they know she will be in the greatest contest of Korea.

So she has decided to try her best and survive till the last level.

Hayoung is thinking herself and walks steadily into the school compound.

" No one will remember me. I am so different from old Hayoung self."

She talks to herself and walks towards to her class. When she is about to reach her class, she is suddenly surrounded by a group of girl

" No."

Hayoung mutters as she doesn't want to be a victim of the bullies again.

" Where are you going, Ugly girl??? "

The one in front of her ask. Hayoung keeps hanging down her head and avoids to look at them.

" Yah, Oh Hayoung. You are changing style, huh???? Oh, I remember. You are in Idol Hunt, right??? "

The one beside her right asks while pointing at her shoulder with her index finger. The one on her left stops the other girls.

" Hey. Wait. Wait. Stop. We are in Idol Hunt, too. If someone sees that we are talking to Ugly girl like this, they will starting the rumors about us."

" Yes. You are right.""

The one in front said again. And she turns back to Hayoung.

" You are so lucky Ugly girl. If not, I will teach you about how to respect the seniors. You think I don't know about how you dare to reject Minzy unnie's words. You dare to be in Idol Hunt while againsting her words."

" What?? "

Hayoung is surprised that this girls are Minzy's fans. At that time, she was pulled with force by the arm and someone stands in front of her.

" What are you doing to her????? "

That someone is shorter than her. But she feels safe when she appears in front of her. That someone faces the bully girls and asks again.

" What are you doing to our Hayoung??? "

" Namjoo unnie. It's ok."

Hayoung tries to calm down the angry girl. Namjoo and she are from first year too but Hayoung is the maknae in the group so she has to call every six girls as unnie.

Namjoo is so furious about the bully thing and she moves the younger girl's pull from her. Then she asks the girls in front.

" Who are you?? "

" We are Crayon pop. We also are one of the groups who will be in Idol Hunt, too."

The one who looks like the leader answers and Namjoo looks at them with her sharp and deadly glare.

" I don't care who you are but please leave our Hayoung alone. "

" But she dared to touch our Minzy unnie's pride. The like her is not deserve to be in Idol Hunt."

" What!!! You are crossing the line. Hayoung is chosen because she has the talents to be one of the members. And you can't decide she deserves or not. We will find out ourselves later. Please let her alone. If you try to bully her next time, I will not let it go easily. Let's go, Hayoung-na."

Namjoo said and she pulls Hayoung away from there. Then she stops when they arrive at Hayoung's class.

" Hayoung-na, why you just listen to them. Say something back, will ya??? I can't be there every time. You must protect yourself."

Namjoo said and Hayoung nods her head like a kid. She has now teary eyes and looking at Namjoo innocently. Namjoo sighs.

" You are too innocent, Hayoung-na. And you are too beautiful. That's why they always choose you to bully. They are just jealous.'"

" Yes??? "

" Hayoung-na, don't worry. I promise I will protect you from now on. I will make sure no one dare to touch you. So please don't be sad."

Namjoo whispers and she pulls the younger girl to her embrace. Hayoung is so touch with the older girl's care towards her. She hugs her back and nods on Namjoo's shoulder.

" Imm. I believe you, unnie."

Namjoo smiles in satisfition. She doesn't know why but she just want to make the younger girl smile. She likes to see Hayoung to be happy.

She is too much care for the maknae before she notices herself.

" No. No. No. I am late. I am late. I am late."

Chorong is running around the room as she is super late for her class. She has to wash the dishes after their breakfast and she forgets to check the clock.

When she has showered and looks at the time, it is about thirty minutes to her class and so she is clumsily changing her school uniform.

" Everyone must be at school now."

She talks to herself as she sees no one in the house. She is blaming on herself that why she forgot to check the time.

Chorong has been a good student all the time and she doesn't like to skip classes. She is a alone and unknown girl till last week but her whole life changed all of a sudden when she has been chosen to be in Idol Hunt and be the leader of Apink.

She doesn't want people to interested in her. She was so afraid of her classmates who will talk her back about how proud she becomes after she becomes Apink's leader and skip classes.

So she has to run to school to be in time.

" Gosh!! I hate to be sweating."

Chorong said to herself while she is tying the shoelaces of her sneakers. She then picks up her bag and comes out from the house. She locks the door and about to run to the school.

*  Bicycle's bell sound  *

Chorong turns to her side and see Yoon Bomi leaning on a bicycle and waiting for her. She raises her eyebrows as she wants to know what the younger girl is doing.

Bomi walks to her and smiles with her toothy smile.

" Chorong unnie. Let's go."

" To where?? "

" School of course. I am waiting for you to go to school together. I went to my house early and take the bicycle so that we can go to school together."

" Thanks you but I will just run to there."

Chorong said as she doesn't want to ride a bicycle with Bomi. Bomi doesn't give up and she steps in front of Chorong and prevents her to go away from her.

" Wae, unnie. I will send you school more quickly than you run. Come on."

" No. I..."

" Come on."

Bomi pulls her to the bicycle and she forces her to hop on it. Chorong has no choice but to listen to the hyper girl who is now putting her bag to her shoulder.

" Should I help you to carry your bag??? "

Chorong asks but Bomi shakes her head.

" It's ok. You just hold on me tight. I am going to ride really fast."

Bomi said but Chorong just hold on her school coat. Bomi smiles at the leader's cute gusture as she knows the older girl doesn't like her as much as she likes her.

So she is trying hsr best to become friends with the unnie she likes. She has been waiting for the older girl to go to school together as she wants to make their alone time.

" Chorong unnie, hold on me. I will go faster."

Bomi said as she speeds up suddenly and Chorong lost her balance so that she has to quickly hugs the younger girl to prevent her from falling of the bicycle.

Ah ha

Bomi thought as she feels Chorong's hands on her waist. Yesssssssssssss. She is celebrating herself and she is smiling now like an idiot.

On the other hand, Chorong is surprising when she notices what she has done. She is now holding on the younger girl's waist.

Her face turns into deep crimon color. This is the first time for her to ride a bicycle with someone and holds onto that someone. She is indirectly back hugging the younger girl.

Omo. This is so embrassing.

Chorong thinks and she is about to let the hands go when she feels something on her hand.

Her hand is held into a warm and soft touch.

" Unnie, hold me. I can't let you to fall off."

Bomi said and she caresses the older girl's hand a little before she releases it.

Chorong feels that she is nearly lost her soul. OMG!!! Why Bomi's hand has to be so warm and soft. She can feeltl the heat from her cheeks which are now in red because of blush.

But she decides to listen to Bomi's words and continues to hold her making the smile on Bomi's face to be bigger twice.

When they arrive at school, Bomi sends Chorong till they reach to Chorong's class.

" Thanks you, Bomi-ya."

" Not Yoon Bomi anymore??? "

Bomi asks and Chorong hits her with her fist. But make sure she doesn't hurt the younger girl.

" Yah!!! Don't make me angry. I am in a good mood."

" Ok.Ok. Hee hee. I'm going unnie."

Chorong nods and Bomi waves her hand. She watches Bomi leaving the place.

One step

Three steps

Ten steps

Fifteen steps

Bomi turns around and waves at her again. Chorong unknowingly herself but she waves back the younger girl.

" Omo. They are so cute. Love cuties."

Chorong hears the comments from her back and she blushes. Now everyone is thinking that they are dating. How embrassing!!!

But Bomi turns around again and she waves at her. Chorong can't help herself but to smile at the cute Bomi.

" She is not that bad. But sometimes, she is so annoying. If she stays like this, she is so cute."

Chorong whispers to herself and she enters into her class.

" What are you going to buy Naeun-na??? "

Eunji asks Naeun who is coming to the supermarket together with her. She is here to buy ingredients that Chorong unnie said this morning and Naeun said she wants to joins her so the two of them walks together to the supermarket near Yookyung's house.

" Nothing. I was boring since afternoon and I just want to go out."

Naeun answers and Eunji smile widely. The two of them take the basket and walks around the vegetables section.

" Eunji unnie, actually, I know you before we become a group."

" Really?? How?? "

" You remember??? You sang a song at the welcome last year. I remember you as your voice is amazing. I am a fan of yours."

" Ha ha. I am not that good."

Eunji said and she is now rubbing the back of her neck as she don't know what to say.

" Eunji unnie, I want to buy drawing materials."

" Wae?? Oh, you like to draw??? "

" Yes. I am a quiet girl and I don't like to play that much so I only sit and draw whenever I am bored."

" Ahhh, I love drawing too."

Eunji said and they pay for the vegetables. Then they walk to buy the drawing materials and pay for them.

" Naeun-na, what do you want more??? "

" Immmmmmmm, ice-cream."

Naeun answers childishly and Eunji automatically smiles.

" Let's go."

She takes the younger girl to the ice-cream shop and they sit down at one table. Then they order a big bowl of ice-cream and eats together.

" Eunji unnie, say ahh."

Naeun suddenly said while she places the spoon in front of Eunji, making the older girl widen her eyes.

Is it an indirect kiss to eat the same spoon with her????

*  Du gun  Du gun  Du gun  *

Eunji is surprised and she doesn't response making Naeun to pout.

" Unnie, don't you want to eat from me??? "

" No. No, I was just - "

Eunji was lost her words when Naeun quickly puts the spoon in . Eunji thinks that the ice-cream is more delicious when Naeun feeds her.

Eunji sighs as she can't control her wildly pouncing heart. Naeun seems she doesn't aware of Eunji's changing behaviour and enjoying the ice-cream by herself.

At that time, Eunji remembers something. She is too much curious about it since yesterday. She really wants to know it.

" Naeun-na??? "

" Yes?? "

" Can I ask you one thing?? "

" Tell me."

Eunji thinks for a few seconds before she asks.

" Well, I want to know why you rejected me to be Namjoo's partner yesterday?? "

Eunji said and Naeun frozed. She then looks up to Eunji and the older girl stares her back. They are looking at each other for a few seconds and Naeun smiles again.

" Because I don't like to see you together with Namjoo."

" Yes?? "

Eunji is taken a back by Naeun's words.

" What do you mean, Naeun-na??? "

" I mean I don't want to see you with Namjoo. I know I am weird but I still don't like the idea."

Eunji is looking at Naeun with puzzle look.

" Ahhh, so delicious."

But Naeun resumes to eat the ice-cream like nothing happens and Eunji is more and more confused.

What does Naeun really mean???

She stares at the cute and innocent black girl in front of her. She is eating the ice-cream happily like a kid.

Eunji smiles.

She knows she has some feelings for this girl who seems close to her.

But she can't see what the younger girl is thinking about. What if Naeun doesn't think of her like she thinks???

" Unnie. "

" Hmmm??? "

Suddenly, Naeun calls her and she was taken back to reality. Naeun moves her body forwards and she points to her lips.

" Wipe it for me."

" Yes?? "

Eunji stops her breathing. There is a very beautiful goddess in front of her who is asking for her to wipe .

Omg!!! She is about to faint due to excitement.

" Be quick~~~"

" Ye... Ye... Yes."

Naeun said and Eunji stutters. She takes a piece of tissue with her trembling hands and moves closer to the younger girl.

She slowly and gently wipe off the ice-cream and Naeun smiles.

" Thanks you, unnie."

She said and continues to eat up the ice-cream.

Eunji exhales heavily and secretly presses in the left side of her chest. She is about to lose control. That's lucky she didn't do any crazy things and just wipes off.

Eunji looks at Naeun again who is smiling herself.

How can I understand you, Naeun-na??? Are you trying to play with my little heart???

Eunji thinks.

At that time, Yookyung is alone in the kid playground which is situated near her house. She comes here often and she likes to sit here alone while drinking her favourite ice-coffee.

She is sittting on a swing and drinking coffee when her phone suddenly rings. When she sees the caller, her eyes widen.

" Appa??? "

Nevertheless, she has to pick up the phone so she clears and answer it.

" Hello, appa."

" Yookyung-na, is it ok to talk with me?? What are you doing?? "

" It's ok appa. I'm not in the class. I am studying in the library."

Yookyung has to lie her appa. He sends her to law school but she lied to her parents and she attends to Music school secretly. Her parents don't know about it. They think that she is attending the law school.

" Liar "

Suddenly, she hears a cute and childish voice on her right and she turns around quickly to see a girl who looks like younger or same age as her beside the swing on the right.

She is wearing a cute white wollen hat and hugging a kitty plushie. But that girl is looking at her with a pouting face and round eyes.

" Sshhh. I'm talking phone."

Yookyung whispers to the stranger and she continues to her father.

" Of course, appa. I have to study really hard so that I can't even have the time to go home. My times are always spent at the library."

" Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Liarrrrrrrrr."

But the girl beside her shouts loudly all of a sudden and Yookyung widens her eyes.

" What happens Yookyung-na??? Why so noisy in the library?? "

" No. Appa. I'm outside the library and some crazy kids are shouting. "

" Aww. If you are studying, I should not disturb you. Bye."

" Bye appa."

She said and hangs up the phone. Then she turns to the shouting girl and glares at her.

" Yah!!! Why are you disturbing me??? "

" You are lying so I just want to tell the truth to the person on the other line."

" I'm not lying. I have my own reason."

" Whatever. Liar is a liar. Oh no. You are a big liar. A skillful liar. Liar!!! Liar!!! "

She points to her and shouts. Yookyung shakes her head.

" Hey, kitty. I don't want to argue with a kid. So go now."

" Why I have to go??? This playground is public place and I can sit here too."

She said and Yookyung sighs.

" If you don't go, I will go now."

She said but the girl is quicker than her. She stands up and takes the coffee in her hand.

" I don't want to sit beside a big liar like you, too. You seems you are good with your beautiful face but you really are a big big Bigggggg liar. I am going!!! "

She said and she is about to leave when Yookyung calls her.

" Yah!!! Give me back my coffee."

" Coffee??? Oh, I want to take it. Ha ha. Thanks you."

She shows her tongue and runs out from the spot leaving Yookyung with a wide open mouth.

Yookyung is frowning and she throws her head upwards in anger.

" What kind of girl is she??? Aish!!!!! That girl."

She said and she remembers the girl's cute white face and round eyes.

" Hmmmm, if I see you around next time, I won't let you go that easily."

She said.

She then looks at the phone in her hand.

" Aish~~ I was so lucky. If appa caught me, I will be over. I am so lucky."

She furrows her eyes while she remembers about the girl earlier.

" Why she has to disturb me??? That kitty. Pray that you will not run into me again next time."

Yookyung said as she is so pissed off by the strange and cute kitty girl.

And then she remembers that she has to go back and she walks back to her house.

Later that night, she forgets about the kitty girl who disturbs her for no reason and stole the coffee from her hand.
