Ever since the party, Lee Sung hasn't said one word to me. I've tried so many times to talk to

her but it was as if she wanted nothing to do with me. I tried to remember if there was

something I might have said or done to offend her. But I couldn't think of anything. I can't

leave things the way they are now. My three months is almost up. I have to find a way to hash

things out with her. Not only that, my family is in debt. Mom owes so much because of my

expensive treatment. I needed to find a way to make money, and continue to make it while I

sleep.

Mom saved up some money and opened a savings account in my name. It was for me to use

when I got older, but I needed it now. So I decided to take the money out and use it to invest

in stocks. I know I should've asked but knowing mom, she would've said no and continue to

work herself to death to pay for my serum. I refuse to have things continue like this. Lee Jae

left because of me. And dad is trying his best to stay strong and support mom but I know its

weighing heavy on him too. I can't lose dad like I lost Lee Jae.

I decided to invest in a company called "All Cure Medical Company". Due to its

advancements in medicine, it's a rising pharmaceutical company. I'm sure in due time, it's

stock prices will go up so I need to purchase as much as possible. Dad always told me not to

put all my eggs in one basket but he also said, " Go big or go home." Well we won't have a

home unless I take a risk.

The bell has just rung. I make my way to class. On my way I just so happen to see Park Bogum.

Eunwoo: Hey. Have you seen Lee Sung?

As he lift his head up. I could see a bruise on his jaw.

Eun Woo: What happened?

Park Bo-gum: Apparently, someone seems threatened by me so Lee Jae decided to leave a

mark on my face as a warning to keep me in my place. He always hits me with a left hook. I

should've been able to dodge it. Maybe I'm just giving in.

Eun Woo: I have to tell you something.

Park Bo-gum: What is it?

Eun Woo: Lee Jae is my brother.

Park Bo-gum: What! Wait....you mean you knew you're brother was bullying me and you did nothing.

Eun Woo: I know I should've told you but Lee Jae insisted I keep it a secret. Also, I'm not

quite on his good side. Neither are our parents. But that's not the reason I'm mentioning this.

I got a few videos I need to show you of Lee Jae. Me and Lee Jae use to black mail each other

for fun to take each other's desserts at dinner. I think these will give you the upper hand and

a long break from the bullying.

Park Bo-gum: Thanks. But why now?

Eun Woo: Because it's the right thing to do. Also I'm going to be gone for quite a bit due to family reasons. So until then stay out of trouble.......friend.
