Bitgaram:
- I looked around, everybody were shocked and just stared at me and Jihu.

Bitgaram: Sorry, I must have startled you.

Ryujin: *Whispers to self* I forgot, her and her family don't know that Bitgaram changed. She must have been really startled.
- I walked up to Bitgaram and held his arm.

Ryujin: Let's go, Bitgaram.
- As I walked with Bitgaram to the bathroom, he started talking to me.

Bitgaram: Why did she slap me?
Ryujin: Like you said, she must have been startled. Cause look, you're a random guy that just kind of creeped up on her.
Bitgaram: Oh yea, thats right. What should we do? What if everybody is going to stare at us when we get out of the bathroom?
Ryujin: Nothing, just act like nothing happened. For now, just stay away from Jihu and Jeong. I'm going to stay away from them too until the party is over so we can talk to each other.
Bitgaram: Why? I'm pretty sure they recognized you.
Ryujin: Nuhh uhh, did you see Jeong's face? She looked hella scared of me and you. I think they can't tell that it's us?
Bitgaram: Yea, I mean you look like a guy too.
Ryujin: Yahh!!!
Bitgaram: Haha, just kidding.
- We walked out of the bathroom. As I said, everybody were staring at us. I didn't feel good about this so I walked towards my dad.

Dad: Did that hurt?
Bitgaram: Can we go outside? I don't want to be in here.
Dad: Okay, let's go.

Bitgaram:
- We got outside and sat down where the curb was.

Dad: What did you do to her?
Bitgaram: Nothing, I just went up to her and smiled at her. I didn't know she was going to act like that.
Dad: Well, you do need to remember that you're a guy now.
Bitgaram: I do remember that I'm a guy but I don't remember that I haven't told her and her family that I turned into a guy.
Dad: It's okay, what are you going to do now? We can't go back home?
Bitgaram: It's fine, I can just stay in the car and wait until everybody leaves. So, that we can talk to Uncle Doon.
Dad: Are you sure?
Bitgaram: Yea, go back inside.
- My dad went back inside as I got in the car. I was thinking to myself and try to be in Jihu's shoe. I wondered why she would be that startled seeing me, is it because I'm a guy or is it because of something else?

*Jihu's POV*

Jihu:
- My dad wanted to do a big party for my moms birthday, when me and Jeong only wanted to do her birthday with the family only. A couple hours passed and a lot of people started showing up.

???: Oh my gosh, how are you Jihu? I didn't know where you were, I kept looking around for you. I was going to message you but I saw you standing next to Jeong, and talking with her over here.
Jihu: I'm good, Krystal. How are you doing? We haven't met each other for a long time. I can't believe we're meeting at my moms birthday.
Krystal: Me too. How's your-

Jihu:
- I suddenly heard someone calling my name. I turned around and saw him. The guy who raped me at the party. He walked up to me and smiled, the only thing that popped up in my head was anger.

*Slaps*

Jihu:
- A girl came beside him and held his arm. She took him with her. After slapping him I was on the urge to cry. I looked at Jeong.

Jihu: Jeong, take me to my room.
Jeong: Okay.. be careful.

Jihu:
- We got to my room and I sat on my bed.

Jeong: Are you okay? What's wrong? Why did you slap him?

Jihu:
- I looked up at Jeong and started crying.

Jeong: Don't tell me.... I'm going to kill him!

Jihu:
- I ran and held Jeong's hand before she could have opened the door.

Jeong: Let go of me, I'm not going to let him get away with this!
Jihu: It's fine, I will talk to him later when I'm feeling better.
- I collapsed on the floor

Jeong: Be careful, Jihu. You're pregnant.

Jihu
- I started to cry more as Jeong held me in her arms. 36 minutes passed and I felt better.

Jihu: I'm ready to go back outside.
Jeong: Are you sure?
Jihu: Yea, I'm fine
Jeong: Okay, lets go.

Jihu:
- Me and Jeong went back downstairs. As I got downstairs, everybody's eyes were on me.

Jeong: Umm, sorry for what happened. She just got startled and accidently slapped him when she turned around. Let's go to the kitchen.
Jihu: You go first.
Jeong: Why? Are you going to go find him? If you are, then I'm going too.
Jihu: It's fine Jeong. I can talk to him alone.
Jeong: If you want, then okay. I will see you later.
Jihu: Thanks Jeong. I will be back.
- I went around looking for him but couldn't find him. I finally saw the girl that was holding his arm earlier. I walked towards her, she made eye contact with me. She started walking away faster.

Jihu: Wait!
- I tried catching up to her but my stomach is in the way. A man stopped her and looked at me.

Jihu: Thank you.
- He walked away, letting me and the girl be alone.

Jihu: Who are you? Are you his girlfriend? Why are you guys here?
???: Hold on, you're asking too many questions. I will just tell you who I am.
Jihu: Go on....
???: My name is Ryujin and yes it's Park Ryujin. Your little cousin that would always play with you and Jeong when we were little kids. Also, I'm not his girlfriend but his little sister.
Jihu: Little sister? So, he's Jinyoung?
Ryujin: Not really. Umm, I don't feel like I'm in the right spot to tell his story so you can go talk to him.
Jihu: Where is he? I couldn't find him anywhere.
Ryujin: Well, after slapping him, he decided to stay in the car until everybody leaves.
Jihu: What for?
Ryujin: I don't know, you can go talk to him, I will lead you the way.

Jihu:
- I followed Ryujin. When we got to the car, Ryujin knocked on the window. The windows were open a little bit so I could hear him talk.

Bitgaram: What do you want?

Jihu:
- Ryujin stared at me and whispered to me.

Ryujin: I don't want to let him know that it was me, that brought you here. I'm going back inside, bye.

Jihu:
- Ryujin ran back inside, leaving me outside standing in front of the window.

Bitgaram: What do you want?
Jihu: .......
Bitgaram: Ryujin? Is that you? You better talk right now, I don't want to lift my seat up, I'm already comfortable.
Jihu: The names, Jihu.
Bitgaram: ......

*Bitgaram's POV*

Bitgaram:
- I couldn't figure out why she was so startled. I kept thinking but nothing came in mind. A couple minutes passed and someone knocked on the window.

Bitgaram: What do you want?
???: ...........
Bitgaram:
- It was silent, nobody answered me.

Bitgaram: What do you want?
- It was silent again.

Bitgaram: Ryujin? Is that you? You better talk right now, I don't want to lift my seat up, I'm already comfortable.
- It was silent for a couple of seconds then someone started talking.

???: The names, Jihu.

Bitgaram:
- Ji...Ji...ahhhhh!!! Jihu!! I got up from my seat and rolled down the window.

Bitgaram: It really is you. Look, I'm sorry about earlier, I didn't mean to startle you. I was just so excited to meet you and Jeong.
Jihu: Me and Jeong?How do you know our name?
Bitgaram: It's me, Bitgaram.
Jihu: ???
Bitgaram: I mean, Balam.
Jihu: Balam? Balam wh...
- I had a flash back of two younger girls, they were sisters and they would play with me and Jeong. The younger one was, Ryujin and the other one was, Balam.

Jihu: Balam?!!
