In the cafeteria, Ellie was quietly enjoying herself when she noticed In Ha and Jae-i holding hands, prompting her to roll her eyes.
She observed as everyone around them started snapping pictures, caught up in the drama. Unfazed by the spectacle, Ellie continued with her meal, keeping to herself.
Her attention shifted when Rian entered the cafeteria with Hera. Ellie scoffed and smirked at the sight, but her amusement was short-lived as Rian abruptly halted and made a beeline towards her. Jae-i watched the scene unfold with obvious curiosity.

Hera, who had been observing from a distance, watched the unexpected display with her mouth slightly agape, unsure of how to react. The other students in the cafeteria were equally stunned, unable to process what they were witnessing.

As Rian straightened up, he locked eyes with Ellie, silently challenging her to defy him. Ellie, however, remained composed, her thoughts racing as she tried to process what Rian's declaration meant for her and for their intertwined past.

In the room, Hera struggled to calm herself, still bothered by the scene that had unfolded earlier. "Are those two serious? Are they really dating the scholarship students?" Ye Ji asked teasingly, her laughter ringing through the room.
