The class ended and Solar grabs her stuff and left first without waiting for Wheein, and Wheein went behind her. She was stalking Solar when Solar asks her not to bother her. Solar got in the bus and Wheein sat a few seats in front. The bus came to its destination and Solar got off, then Wheein started to follow her from behind. Solar felt something and she looked back and Wheein hides before Solar could catch her.
-Wheein. –
-<<She caught me!! I was going to talk to her but...>> -
-I told you I wanted to be alone today. So, you're stalking me now? – said Solar appearing next to Wheein. -I need some time to think. –
-I wasn't stalking you. I just had to tell you something. –
-You can tell me later. –
-Please hear me out! – Wheein grab Solar hand before she could leave. -I know you're jealous of me, and I just wanted to tell you that you don't have to be. I was only copying my mother's art style. I'm just mimicking her. I didn't want to do that, but I had my reasons. I didn't want to come to an art school either. I don't like drawing as much as you do. And I don't plan on doing anything with my skills in the future. – said Wheein. -I'm just a nobody. Solar, you, on the other hand, are amazing! What I'm trying to say is... -
-So, in other words, you didn't have to try so hard cause you got your talent from your mom. Even though being an artist wasn't what you desperately wanted; you were able to achieve the visible result. Is that it? – said Solar with an angry smile.
-THAT'S NOT WHAT I MEANT!! –
-That's why your style is similar to Hyeon's. by her painting style. Well, imitation is the mother of creation after all. –
-M-my mother can't paint anymore. There was an accident. That's why I'm-
-...carrying o with her work on her behalf? You're such a good daughter, Wheein? – and Wheein let her tears go. -I guess it is true. People who have it all are completely oblivious of what they have. When you try to be humbler, it just makes me angry. Go back to your dorm. – said Solar and left Wheein there. Wheein went to the bus station ad waited there when her phone rang.
-<You're not in your dorm room. Where you at?> - and Wheein responds.
....
-Should we order some fried chicken? – said Byul with Wheein coming behind her. -Maybe I should order something sweet in time like these. Some tanghulu? –
-What is she doing here? – said Hwasa.
-I found her crying in the bus stations, so I brought her here. I think she fought with Solar. –
-Relationships can't always be great, right? Couples can fight sometimes. – said Hwasa.
-We didn't fight. She just angry because of me. –
-I'll bring you guys something to drink. – and Byul left.
-What did you do? – and Wheein didn't answer. -<<Won't talk to me, huh?>> - -You hurt her ego, didn't you? Since Solar unnie is ambitious and she's jealous of you, I knew she would explode soon enough. And you probably just made the situation worst. I get why she would be annoyed. You're always obsessing over her and freaking out even if she looks away for a second. You do know the obsession is a mental disorder, right? –
-You don't like, do you Hwasa? – and Hwasa stands up in a jump.
-I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE EITHER!! STOP ACTING SO CLUELESS CAUSE THAT PISSES ME OFF. DO I NOT LIKE YOU? YEAH, I FUCKING HATE YOU. I FEEL BAD FOR THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU. DO YOU EVEN CARE ABOUT ANYONE ELSE'S FEELINGS? WHY DID YOU EVEN COME HERE? YOU ONLY COME TO Byul WHENEVER YOU NEED HER HELP, BUT YOU NEVER PAY ATTENTION TO HER OTHERWISE!! YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE IGNORED BY THE PERSON YOU LOVE 'CAUSE YOU'VE BEEN THERE, WHEEIN!! DON'T YOU FEEL BAD AT ALL? STOP MAKING EVERYONE MISERABLE!! –
-Byul likes me? – and Byul heard everything from outside.
-<<Ahn Hyejin, did you seriously just say that?>> - said Byul to herself and enter the room. -<<Calm down. Just act as nothing happened. I'm pretty sure Wheein won't ask me about it. >> -
-I'm sorry. – whisper Hwasa and Byul shush her. – LOOK, I'M BEING SORRY FOR OUTING YOU!! –
-STOP TALKING!! ARGH!! You're doing this on purpose, aren't you?! Just shut the h3ll up! –
-But is annoying! She's just here because she's having a hard time. –
-I asked Wheein to come!! Don't blame this on her! – and Wheein watch and then talked.
-So, it's true... -
-We need to talk, Wheein. – said Byul and glared at Hwasa. -You stay here. –
-Since when? –
-Since ninth grade, I guess? At least that's when I knew for sure. – answer Byul. The girls went to the park that was next to the apartment and Byul stare at the stars.
-I had no idea. –
-I wasn't even planning on telling you. If it weren't for Hwasa. –
-All this time, I kept talking about Solar. – said Wheein looking down.
-Yeah, I was annoyed when you thought we were kissing in the bathroom. The thing is, I don't like you in that way. Being in a relationship, going on dates, and whispering romantic things to each other. I don't want any of that. I could just be mistaken about my feeling for you because of my guilt. I just want you to be happy, Wheein. – smile Byul scrunching her nose. -Don't feel bad. I don't want this to change anything between us. – and the girls started to head in. -Promise me you'll keep letting me be your friend, okay? Don't avoid me. –
-Haha... of course not! I would never do that. Byul, thank you. – Wheein smile. They got in and Byul had Hwasa bow in front of Wheein.
-Sorry. –
-You can do better than that. –
-I'm very sorry for being disrespectful. –
-It's fine. – said Wheein. Byul took Wheein to the room where she will be staying and told her to go to sleep.
-How did it go? – ask Hwasa.
-Exactly how you wanted it to. –
-So, she won't be bothering you anymore, right? I'm telling you; you've been way too nice to her. –
-You know what? – said Byul and glared at her. -Just in case you haven't realized, that's also the reason why you're still here. There's no way you'd be here now if I didn't let you stick around. I'm letting you stay even though I already know that you like me. Wait, does that mean I'm leading you on? I guess that means I'm bad, too? –
-That's different!! You're nothing like Wheein!! –
-Really? Then get out my face. Just like that. Because, unlike Wheein, I'm not some jerk who makes people miserable even though I know they have a feeling for me. –
-Why are you bringing this up now? – ask Hwasa.
-Just thought we should settle things once and for all. –
-I'm sorry. it was wrong for me to do that. –
-Ahh! Let's just go to bed. – and Hwasa smiled.
-You're not mad at me anymore? –
-I'm still pissed at you for outing me. I'm only giving you a pass because your apology seems sincere. –
-<<Byul unnie's just letting it slide again. I know it'll be over once I let go. But why can't I?>> - said Hwasa looking at Byul's back.
....
Solar couldn't sleep and got out of bed, heading to her bookshelf. She found the notebook she needed and had Wheein's name.
