Chaeyoung finally sees Mina from the distance, she immediately runs over and engulfs Mina into her arms, hugging her tightly,

'Chaeyoungie!' Mina is now crying out loud while calling her name,

'My God, Minari, are you alright? Are you hurting anywhere?' Chaeyoung breaks the hug to check on Mina,

'They...forced kisses...on me...but I...didn't let...them.' Mina says between her sobs,

'Good girl! You did well, Minari!' Chaeyoung hugs Mina again to calm her down from crying.

Chaeyoung turns her head a little, and there she sees Jackson who has been standing at the door for a while now, her blood boils, fists clench, she immediately releases the hug with Mina and steps forward, throwing one of the hardest punches she ever does straight to his face. He falls down hard onto the floor, blood is gushing out of his nose, Chaeyoung is not done yet, she gets on top of him, punching non-stop.

'Stop it, Chaeyoung! What are you doing?' Mina yells and pulls her away by the arm,

'Why are you stopping me, Mina? I gotta kill this asshole.' Chaeyoung is still very angry,

'No, stop, Chaeyoung! He just saved me.' Mina tells her while crouching down to check on Jackson,

'He saved you?' Chaeyoung asks in disbelief,

'Yes, he saved me when Jb and Bambam were about to do bad things to me.' Mina answers,

And that's when Chaeyoung realised, this guy is a lot smarter than she thought, so his plan wasn't to physically take Mina's body, his actual plan is to play the role of a hero in the play that he wrote himself, being Mina's saviour, then rightfully taking Mina's heart.

'Mina, don't trust him, he planned this whole thing' Chaeyoung is trying to tell Mina the truth,

'What are you talking about, Chaeyoung?' Mina is confused,

Jackson then speaks up through the pain on his face 'I know you don't like me, but don't make things up, Chaeyoung. I don't even know those two bad guys.'

Mina looks at Chaeyoung, not sure what to feel right now, she knows that Chaeyoung hates Jackson, but she can't get herself to believe that Chaeyoung would make such things up, 'Chaeyoung, are you alright? Why would you say such things? He literally just saved me.'

'Mina, listen to me! He planned it, he and Jb and Bambam, they...' Chaeyoung abruptly stops talking, she looks at Jackson, then to Mina, they're looking at her intensely, Chaeyoung suddenly has the feeling of being cornered,

'Why do I suddenly become the one that needs to explain...?' She says while looking at Mina in the eyes, 'Mina, you...you don't believe me, do you?'

'Chaeyoung, it's not that I don't believe you. It's just...' Chaeyoung clenches her fists, turns her heels and walks away before Mina could finish her sentence.

Mina immediately stands up and runs after her. She grabs Chaeyoung's wrist when the girl is at the end of the hallway, 'Chaeyoung ah, I...'

Chaeyoung turns around, the look on her face stops Mina from talking. Chaeyoung takes one step closer to Mina, looks straight into her eyes, speaks in the coldest tone that Mina has ever heard from her, 'Do you know what I hate the most, Mina? It's when people don't believe me eventhough I tell the truth, and it hurts a thousand times more because the person who doesn't believe me is you. It hurts badly right here.' Chaeyoung points at her left chest where her heart is,
