Eun Shin woke up after napping for about thirty minutes and saw Seung Jee beside her. She smiled, quietly studying his features. She reached toward him, but her hand froze at the memories of him getting hurt because of her rush. Her eyes twitched, and she slowly pulled back. But before she could withdraw completely, Seung Jee's hand closed gently around hers, making her flinch. "Seung-oppa!" she gasped. He smiled without opening his eyes and guided her hand to his cheek. Her face flushed. "If you want to…-

Jae Vin watched Seung Jee and Eun Shin from a distance, his patience worn thin. Grabbing his lunch tray, he strode toward their table and slammed it down, startling them both. Eun Shin glanced at him, then quickly looked away. Seung Jee remained calm, though resentment simmered beneath the surface. "Hello," Jae Vin said with a forced smile. Seung Jee exhaled silently, his first instinct to check on Eun Shin. Her trembling hands gave her away, but he resisted the urge to hold her, not wanting to give Jae…

After a week had passed, Lim Rin stayed home more often than meeting with her young lover. Yung Ji pretended to be aloof but didn't respond to her in any meaningful way. Eun Shin attended school regularly, gradually bouncing back to her lively self. Seung Jee reassured Eun Shin that her mother's behavior hadn't bothered him—only her words had. Meanwhile, Min Ying hesitated to approach Eun Shin after the incident, worried she might have caused more harm than good. Eun Shin noticed her from a distance and…

Min Ying was so shocked she couldn't speak. Seok Jun's face was slightly pink, but even so, he slowly reached out and slid his hand over hers. Her face turned from pale to a deep tomato red. Oh my God. He's holding my hand. His warm, manly hand. She closed her eyes for a moment, squealing inwardly. Mission successful! Seok Jun glanced at her and smiled, and he could tell she was delighted, even if she tried to hide it. He leaned closer, bringing his lips near her ear. "I'll take that as a yes," he…

Before Seok Jun could say another word, Seung Jee took off, sprinting down the hall like a man possessed. Seok Jun watched him disappear with a faint, knowing smile. "When you still care," he murmured, then turned back toward the classroom building. Meanwhile, Seung Jee tore through corridors and halls, breath ragged. "Where are you?" he muttered, scanning every hallway, then the path to the gymnastics building—nothing. Then he stopped short. The bleachers. He dashed around to the back of the school,…

For a week, Eun Shin didn't speak to anyone. She stayed shut in her room, avoiding Yung Ji, Seung Jee, and Jae Vin. When Yung Ji finally asked Lim Rin about it, Lim Rin brushed it off, calling Eun Shin just another emotional teenager. He dismissed her trauma like it was nothing. But Yung Ji knew better. His daughter didn't shut out the whole world unless something serious had happened. Eun Shin sat by the window, eyes vacant, watching the trees sway and birds flutter past. BING. Seung Jee: "Are you…

The weekend marked the start of summer vacation. Eun Shin had to prepare to visit Jae Vin and his mother, Seum Tae, at their mansion. Reluctance curled in her chest—something felt off. Why hadn't her mother cared that Yung Ji wouldn't be coming? What was she really planning? Jae Vin's family had always wanted to meet Yung Ji and gain his favor. So why was it only Eun Shin this time? The uneasy feeling lingered. Eun Shin picked up her phone and glanced at Lim Rin, who stood by the driveway, waiting for…

Seung Jee left school in a daze after the confrontation with Taek Il. As he walked home, questions gnawed at him. What if he had never stuttered? Would they have left him alone? Would he have had more friends... more chances? Would Eun Shin have spoken to him? The thoughts followed him all the way up the stairs of his apartment building. By the time he reached the rooftop, they'd woven into something heavier—something close to longing. A woman was waiting for him. She greeted him with a gentle pat on…

Seung Jee returned home, his thoughts in a storm. He was certain now—Eun Shin had been assaulted over the summer. But why was she back with Jae Vin? With the one who had hurt her? Was she in denial? Did she not understand what had happened to her? I really thought you were smart. The thought twisted his stomach. He let out a groan and dropped onto the bed, frustration simmering beneath his skin like a slow burn. Meanwhile, Eun Shin lingered at school, tucked away beneath the bleachers—where she used…

Eun Shin avoided places where Jae Vin might show up. Seung Jee had noticed her change. Though she claimed relief over the breakup, something still weighed on her. Was it Jae Vin she mourned—or the fallout with her mother? Whatever it was, she carried it alone, tightly coiled inside. After school, Jae Vin waited by the gates. Eun Shin walked silently beside Seung Jee, her steps measured—until she saw that familiar face. Without a word, she grabbed Seung Jee's arm and yanked him down with her. "Let's…

Eun Shin and Seung Jee sat in silence, unsure of what to say. They looked at each other and laughed—both speaking first at the same time. Then they tried again, smiling. Eun Shin raised her hand to him, suggesting he should talk first. Seung Jee chuckled and did the same thing. "You can talk first... It's your house," she stated. He smiled fondly. "I... I was hoping you'd say something first." "Seung-oppa, you can go first. Tell me... anything," she said. He nodded as he leaned back. "Well, I might…

Park Eun Shin stepped out to grab coffee from the nearest café that sat across from Hex Company. As she reached the entrance, she spotted Lee Jae Vin emerging from the building. Her gaze dropped to the sidewalk. She quickened her pace. "Eun Shin!" She didn't turn around. She slipped inside, letting the door swing shut behind her. Outside, Jae Vin hesitated, then lingered near the glass storefront. Inside, the barista greeted her with a practiced smile. "What can I get started for you?" "One grande…

After class that day, Eun Shin slid into the backseat of the car, silent. She didn't glance at the driver, nor did she check her phone. Her hands rested stiffly on her lap, nails pressed into her palm. Seung Jee's hunched shoulders, painted in shame at the cafeteria, still haunted her. And Jae Vin's grip, tight and cold as he yanked her away, lingered on her arm like a bruise that hadn't formed yet. She stared out the window as the school disappeared behind them. Seung Jee made it home safely, but Jae…

Eun Shin stayed close as Seung Jee changed in the boys' restroom, guilt gnawing relentlessly at her. Her mind swung between the transfer student and Jae Vin—her boyfriend—who was clearly lashing out at Seung Jee because of her silence and inaction. The thought that everything Seung Jee endured somehow bore her name twisted painfully in her chest. When Seung Jee finally stepped out, clutching his ruined school uniform and gym clothes, Eun Shin's heart clenched. She hated seeing him so humiliated, so…

Seok Jun paused in the doorway, eyes widening as they swept across the room—Jae Vin's family seated with Lim Rin, Eun Shin's mother. His breath caught. For a moment, he stood frozen, the tension hitting like a wall. A nervous chuckle escaped him as he bowed stiffly. "Oh—I didn't realize this was... a full house," he said, trying to mask his unease with lightness. Seum Tae smiled, clearly misreading the situation. She tilted her head, pleasantly surprised. "Seok Jun! My, it's been ages since…
