"Hello?" Joo Kyung Mi said into the phone.
"Kyung Mi..." Her grandmother sobs into the phone.
"Halmeoni, is Byung Hee okay?" She asked worriedly.
"Byung Hee...Byung Hee is dead!" Her grandmother sobs again before hanging up.
Kyung Mi's phone hits the floor with a thunk sound. She is frozen. "This isn't true. It can't be." She flips the coffee table and throws her paint all over the place. Within five minutes her whole place is trashed and she crumbles to the floor clutching her chest. "Byung Hee-ah!" She yells as the tears begin streaming down her face. "Oppa!" She cries out in pain. She cries herself to sleep on the cold floor.
...
Wailing, sobbing, his name. That's what she hears when she enters the room. There he is, in the picture is her twin brother. The tears come back and she stumbles towards the wall. Five boys her age rush to steady her.
"Kyung Mi-ah..." A voice says concerned.
She instantly recognizes it to be Jang Do-Il's. She looks up at him through her eyelashes and tears. "Oppa..." She says before falling into his chest and crying.
His arms circle and tighten around her waist. "Yah! Kwon Ji Hyuk!" Do-Il calls out a minute later.
Her head pops up to see the messy-haired boy running out with his hands over his ears. She pulls away from Do-Il and runs after him. "Ji Hyuk-ah! Ji Hyuk-ah!" She calls out, but he doesn't hear her. She follows him to a large school and into one of the classrooms. He is yelling at one of the kids about Byung Hee and wants to beat him, but the kid remains emotionless. Finally, a teacher pulls Ji Hyuk away from the kid. "Ji Hyuk-ah..." She says softly, but he hears her.
He pulls her into a hug and strokes her hair. "Mianhada..." He says in her ear. The students around them are whispering as the other four finally run in.
"Gwaenchanh-a?" Hyun Soo asks and the two nod.
She looks up at Ji Hyuk. "Oppa, can you let me go? I have something to say to the punk." He let's her go and she walks up to the kid he was just yelling at. "You may not have killed my brother, but from what just happened I know you were there." He smirks and looks away as though this was nothing. "The way you just shrugged me off shows that you are cold and feel no remorse, which means you are used to getting off with whatever. You won't make eye contact with me not because you are nervous or insecure, but because you believe I am beneath you. So you have a higher social status and come from a rich family. You have hardly any sense of loyalty. As long as it benefits you, right?" She finishes and walks out while motioning for the 5 boys to follow her, which they do after glaring and threatening the kid.
