GOLD’S EATERY ★
Today is Saturday which means there’s no school today, so aerum decided to help at the restaurant today.
“Boil water for noddles”Her mom said and she nodded before doing the biding.
“Thanks and come again”Her mom waved at the customers that were leaving already.
“Aerum come come”A-Yeong called pulling her from the kitchen.
“Arrggggg,do you want to break my wrist?”She winced and A-Yeong forced her to sit down.
“I saw Seo-Jun and her crew”A-Yeong began.
“Holy aerum”Aerum exclaimed and A-Yeong looked at her.
“You pulled me out cos you saw Seo-Jun and her crew? I should have known you don’t have something important to say”Aerum rolled eye and stood up but A-Yeong pulled her back.
“No aerum,I mean they’re on their way here…oh,here they comes”A-Yeong said and aerum looked at the door and for real,she was standing at the door with her friends.
“Why don’t you pour her the hot water you boiled for noddles?”A-Yeong whispered and aerum slapped her shoulder.
“Stop being silly,she didn’t do a thing..but I won’t resist if she does”Aerum said and stood up.
She went to them and bowed slightly with a smile.
“Welcome to our restaurant,what do we offer you?”Aerum said while pulling out a chair for them and Seo-Jun scoffed.
“Yunno,I was strolling down the streets, looking for where to eat a yummy noddle and I was directed here. Like in this pit hole and the worst of all! You’re the one cooking. How is it gonna taste?”Seo-Jun said with a disgusting face and aerum smirked.
“If not that you’re my junior sister,I would have whipped the hell outta you”aerum said and Seo-Jun gasped.
“Junior sister? I’ll never be a sister to someone like you”She retorted and aerum smiled.
“I never said I was. I was giving instance, you’re like my junior sister so am not taking it to heart and besides I don’t wanna start today with troubles, especially now that mom is around. She might develop a heart attack while watching how I whip you mercilessly. So I ask again,what do you want?”Aerum asked and Seo-Jun gritted before sitting down.
“What do you think am here for if not for the noddles”She rolled eye and aerum smiled.
“In a jiffy”She said and left to bring the noddles.
“I can’t believe I’ll be eating from this pit hole”Seo-Jun said while looking around disgustingly.

<CHUL’S MANSION~BEOM-SEOK ROOM>
Beom-seok could be seen, sitting on his bed while hugging a bear tightly to his chest as his tears wetted the white bear.
“We promised never to leave each other but the promise didn’t last”he sobbed bitterly while reminiscing about his love affair with his girlfriend two years ago.
“You broke your promise and couldn’t even fight for your life. Why did you have to leave me, yunno I feel like a loser. A total loser”he continued and wiped his tears.
“I tried so much to move on but it’s totally impossible for me cos am still in love with you. I love you so much my arrogant babe”he said and brought out a picture from under his pillow.
“No matter what happens, you’ll always be my first and last love. No one is going to take your place in my heart. I’ll rather be a playboy than having you replaced. You own my heart, arrogant”He smiled bitterly while caressing the picture.
“Are you doing well up there? Hope you’re not missing me much? Always do take care of yourself and rest in peace okay?”He said and smiled.
“I love you”He added and kissed the picture before hugging it tight with a closed eyes.

<WOO’S HOUSE>
“I bought the medicine”Hyun-Woo said while opening a small bag.
“Stand up and take the medicine, you’ll be relieved of the fever”Si-Woo said helping their mom up.
They both are the scholarship students and of course twins.
“Your dad?”She asked with a clattering teeth and Hyun-Woo gritted.
“He went for gambling”Si-Woo replied and their mom bursted into fresh tears.
“Why is he doing this?”She sobbed and the two sighed.
Their house is a total mess, adding to the fact that their so called dad is a gambler.
“Mom forget about that old man and take the drugs”Si-Woo said and her mom nodded.
She brought out the pills and handed her a glass of water which she took.
She threw in the pills and gulped it down with the water.
“Stay with her,I’ll go prepare food”Hyun-Woo said and stood up while Si-Woo nodded.
Si-Woo helped her mom to lay back on the small bed and the moment her mom closed her eyes,a deep sigh left her lips.
Her mind suddenly went to aerum and a bright smile formed round her lips, absentmindedly.
“So cute”she muttered with a smile.

<MONDAY~GLITTERING HIGHSCHOOL>
“We’re checking the toads today”A-Yeong gushed happily and aerum and Yu-Jun laughed.
“Why are you so excited?”Aerum asked her.
“You won’t understand”A-Yeong replied with a smile.
The teacher walked in and the class kicked off.
~~~
“Team A what’s this?”The teacher asked angrily and aerum raised a brow.
“Am sure that each team had a toad to operate on so how the hell did your team’s own turn to a rat? A dead rat to be precise”he continued and the students gasped.
“Dead rat? How is that possible?”Aerum asked and the teacher just glared at her before moving over to the next team.
He continued inspecting the work and at the end,team B came out as the best.
Everyone began leaving the laboratory but aerum stood back, folding her fist tightly.
No doubt is beom-seok handwork and he is going to receive it hot from her.
“Let’s go”A-Yeong and Yu-Jun said pulling aerum but she stood her ground.
“I have some @zzhole to deal with. You can go on without me”Aerum said and the two looked at her.
“Don’t tell me you’re planning on…”
“Don’t even interfere in this”aerum cut them off.
“Where the hell do you think you’re going?”Aerum asked blocking beom-seok path.
“Do I have to pay before leaving? Get the hell out of my way”beom-seok said and tried pushing her off,but she caught his hand.. holding it tightly while their eyes locked,perceing into each other.
“Why did you have to do that?”She asked calmly.
Only God knows how much she’s trying to calm herself,she just have to apply all her self control cos she might do something drastic at this rate.
“”A payback. That’s what I did”beom-seok replied nonchalantly and aerum gritted hard.
How much of self control does she have to apply in other not to destroy this guy here?
“A payback? Do you see one reason you’re a fool? A payback in a team work? A team you’re among? I failed which means you also failed”Aerum said and beom-seok smiled.
“Not like I care”he rolled eye and aerum gritted before leaving his hand.
“Yunno what? I don’t want to waste my punch on something like you. Just buzz off”She said and pushed him off instead, before leaving.
“Her nerves!!”Beom-seok said while nodding his head.
•••
“I don’t want to ki|| that’s why am keeping my anger in check”Aerum said while walking down the hallway with shang-hoon.
“Yunno I really love your vibes. Like you don’t take shits”shang-hoon said and aerum smiled.
“Why would I take shits? Like he has two heads? The only difference with us is that he’s rich and am rich too. Not like he feeds me”aerum said and shang-hoon laughed.
“You’re rich. He is rich? Then what is the difference?”Shang-hoon said Admist laughter.
“You’ll never understand”Aerum said and shang-hoon smiled looking at Aerum.
“It’s becoming awkward”Aerum said.
“Huh?”
“I mean the way you stares at me is becoming awkward yunno”Aerum said and shang-hoon began coughing.
“Don’t choke please”She laughed and they finally entered into the classroom.
Beom-seok came out from his hiding with his hands in his pocket while nodding his head.
“Seems like you’ve beginning to have a soft spot for her”he said with a smirk.
“It’s now payback time. I’ll never have you experience what is love. You can’t be happy,you don’t deserve it. I’ll have to think fast”he said with an evil smirk, dancing round his lips.
