“She’s gone overboard..”

Hangeng muttered and went to chase Heechul for a confrontation but Donghae stopped him.

“Don’t do it Hangeng gege. I’m at fault here, Heechul Unni is right. I shouldn’t break the rules.”

Donghae runs to her room and cried, wishing she never came to Seoul and just stayed in Mokpo.

“Hyukjae, I really need you right now..”

Donghae cried and cried until sleep dawns on her. Hangeng was about to knock on her door when he heard her say Hyukjae’s name; he was hurt and so he just left her. On his way to his room, he passes along Eunhyuk and he decided to confront him.

“Can you tell your girl to stop acting such a bitch.”

Eunhyuk looked at him straight in the eyes and replied

“why don’t you tell it to her if you are such a man as you think you are. Stop acting like you’re someone’s prince charming when you are not. Be realistic.”

Eunhyuk then went to his room and locked the doors.

Donghae gloomily sat on her chair and stare at the canvass before her. Her eyes were red and puffy and her voice was harsh from crying. She sighed as she took the brush and dipped it unknowingly on the black paint. She started to play with the strokes when Sooyoung noticed her uninspired and gloomy.

“any problems Hae?”

Donghae shook her head as she play with the brush, making circles and curves.

“Tell me the truth, how can I help you when you don’t tell me what I need to know.”

Donghae sighed and opened her mouth but no words came out. Sooyoung sat beside her and gave her a hug.

“are you having a hard time adjusting to Seoul?”

Donghae nodded her head and tears started falling down her eyes again.

“is everything in Seoul complicated?”

Donghae asked and Sooyoung gently held her hands and looked her in the eyes.

“Hae, when everyone is against you, remember that we are always here for you. Changmin sensei, Shindong-shi and Me.. we are always here for you.”

Donghae wiped her tears with her palm and thanked Sooyoung.

“you may take the day off Donghae, why not try walking and try to find some happiness.”

Donghae nodded and gathered her things. She bowed low at Sooyoung then off she went to chase happiness. Sooyoung looked at the canvass and smiled. Despite the uninspired strokes and play of brush, Donghae had still created an abstract art worth appreciating.
