"I believe in you"
It's now the dismissal time in Hanguk University.
All students are ready to go out with their friends and celebrate the most lovable day of the week, Friday.
Jin ah and Sunji bid their goodbyes to Lisa. They will go out on a date because today is their monthsary.
The hallways of the school are now empty, well, except for Lisa. She just came back from the Principal's office. Lady Kim was not pleased by her actions towards her tutor that's why she was called.
Lady Kim said that next week, she must attend her sessions because it is a waste of time if the two of them will keep on playing cat and mouse.
While Lisa was walking, she suddenly felt a strong impact hitting her. She fell on the ground and a heavy weight was on top of her.
Ouch! What the heck?!
A man was lying on top of her. The man looked at her feeling sorry.
Looks like he was running a while ago and accidentally bumped on her.
Click!
They looked at each other with wide eyes.
As if feeling her awkward state, the man immediately stood up. He also held out his hand for her to grab on. Once the both of them are standing, the guy immediately bowed down apologetically.
"I'm so sorry, I was in a hurry. I thought there was no one on the hallways at this time that's why I didn't looked that much on my surroundings while running. Sorry" the guy said. Seeing him clearly now, the guy is quite attractive.
Lisa just nodded her head as she says,"It's okay. No need to make a big deal about it"
"Uhh, I have to go now. I really am in a hurry" he said. Lisa nodded her head. He ran towards the door, and before closing the door, he looked at her and says,"I'm Jung Jaehyun by the way"
And with that, he closes the door and no signs of him can be seen.
Lisa stood there for a while, looking at the closed door. After a minute, she turned around and walked the opposite way.

Monday morning~
The weekends passed by in a snap. Students filled the hallways. All of them are gossiping something serious.
Looks like a new rumor has broke out on Hanguk University once again.
Meanwhile, on the Manoban Residence, Lisa was still sleeping soundly. Today, she didn't woke up early because she excused herself to school for a week. She is needed to be on China by tonight for the next campaign of the Huang Jewelries.
She was still drooling over a dream that consist of foods when her phone suddenly rang.
She grabbed her phone lazily and declined the other line. But the caller seems to be persistent. When she declined the call, it rang again immediately.
That's why with a heavy heart, she answered the call, still half asleep.
"Yah! Kang Lisa! Just what the hell did you think you've done?!" The other line was angry and loud. This caught Lisa's attention, and now, she stood up, fully awake.
"Jin ahhhh-- what's the fuss? What did I do again?" She asked groggily.
"What did you do?! Are you seriously asking me that?! Well then, let me give you a clue young lady! The whole school are now feasting on your intimately PDA interaction with Jung Jaehyun! Not to mention, the guy is taken! For Pete's sake! Just what the hell are you thinking?!" Jin ah said angrily through the phone.
Lisa was confused as hell, but a part of her has a clue already.
She hung up the call and went on Weibo immediately.
And there, she saw, a photo of her with Jaehyun on top. The angle was a bit weird. From the angle, it looks like their kissing each other.
Who did this?! Who dares to spread false news about her?!
She immediately went up, and changed in a sweater and shorts. She does not have time now to pick out a perfect outfit. Her hair was disheveled but she didn't care also.
She wore a sneakers and immediately ran towards the school.
She rode the bus, looking helplessly. People would glance at her weirdly, but she didn't care now. She needs to fix this. She needs to clear things out.
Her phone dinged. A message from Sunji was sent:
You're a dead meat if I saw you. I swear Kang Lisa.
Lisa didn't bother to reply. The truth will come out. She just need to see Jaehyun and help her explain what really happened.
Her Weibo account are full of bashers lurking around right now. She touched her temples and breath deeply, trying to calm her self.
A couple of minutes later~
The bus stopped. She arrived now infront of the University.
You can do this. You did nothing wrong~
She stepped out and gaze at the University as if it's a haunted house, ready to eat her alive.
She stood at the entrance contemplating.
You can do this~
Once she opened the entrance door of the hallways, all students glanced at her way.
Some threw her dagger-like-stares while the others whispered at the person next to them.
"She's so shameless"
"If I was her, I'll immediately dropped out of school"
"God I can't believe Kang Lisa has that side"
"Her beauty hides a vicious monster inside"
"Look, her skin is so thick to come to school. She looks so pitiful"
"A girl who's ready to snatch someone's boyfriend...tsk tsk tsk, better hide my boyfriend from her"
She heard all of this but she didn't care anymore. Yes, their words pierce her heart but she won't let this words affect her, because none of it was true.
She walked inside and looked around. Where are you? Yes! There he is!
"Jaehyun-ssi!" Lisa called out when she saw the figure not far away from her.
Jaehyun turned around and looked at her way. He smiled towards her.
When she finally reached him, everyone looked at her and stared at her with piercing eyes. The murmurs grew louder.
"Jaehyun-ssi, please help me explain to them what happened the other day" Lisa said breathlessly.
Jaehyun looked at her cluelessly.
"What do you mean?" He asked confused.
"Last Friday"
"Ohh..last Friday" Jaehyun said, finally remembering. A smirk formed his lips as he says,"Why? Didn't you like the kiss?"
The murmurs grew louder. The girl beside Jaehyun turned red as she marched towards Lisa and slapped her hard. Lisa didn't even notice that there was Jaehyun's girlfriend beside him.
The slap was hard causing her to fall on the floor. A crowd has formed now around the scene, trying to grasp out on what's about to happen next.
She looked up, a tear forming her eyes.
"Why?! Why are you crying you b*tch?! You totally deserve more than that to be honest!!!" The girl said angrily.
"Eunha, calm down. Let it go now" Jaehyun said calmly.
"Let it go?!! You think I'm suppose to just let her go like that you bastard?!!"
Eunha grabbed a water bottle, opened it and poured it on Lisa. The crowd saw it and laughed at it. Some screamed "You deserve it!" while the others followed what Eunha did, splashing waters on her. Some even threw papers, books, and pens on her.
She just looked down, crying helplessly, waiting for them to finally stop.
The crowd at the back turned quiet, and soon, they made way for someone. The whole crowd turned silent when they saw someone walking towards them. The cold aura penetrating through them, giving them chills.
Click click click~
Right now, that's the only thing that you'll hear. The sound of shoes approaching.
Eunha didn't noticed the crowd turning silent because of her anger. She was about to throw the book that she's holding towards Lisa when someone took the books away from her.
She looked at the culprit and says,"J-jungk-kookssi...I--"
BANG!
She was not able to finish her sentence when Jungkook threw the book at the metal trash bin loudly, it bounced through the crowd hitting a few watchers.
Eunha flinched and felt the tears that's about to come out of her eyes.
Lisa looked up at Jungkook with red and puffy eyes.
What's he doing?
The next thing she knew is that she's being lift up in the air, his hands brushing past her.
"Why are you here? Saving me?" She asked. He looked straight at her and says,"I believe in you"
And now, he finally walked through the crowds, leaving them in shock.
