A beautiful morning, birds chirping and light cold breeze flying around the city. The kids ran across the tall school door while the security guard yelled behind then

The boys ran happily, while a girl in a pink cardigan and a backpack slowly walked towards the school.

She felt a push from behind and she looked at front to see the guy she hates the most running away after hitting her, Gyeong-su

"Ah that fucking bum" She said, annoyed while grabbing her shoulder. The girl in a pink cardigan, Lee Na-yeon , by most, she's seen as a wealthy spoiled girl who delights in creating rumours and passing judgments on her classmates

But that isn't the reality, Lee Na-yeon is a lonely young lady. She's like the class president Nam-ra, is without friends but unlike people see Nam-ra, her loneliness had manifested itself in her cruelty to those she considers to be really beneath her.

Na-yeon entered the class, just to see Gyeong-su sitting on her desk,which annoyed her to another extent. She went up to him and pushed him away from her desk

"Yah that's my desk!" Na-yeon yelled which caught Gyeong-su off gaurds "I'm sorry I'll leave" Na-yeon looked at him, disgusted "You're so annoying!" Gyeong-su looked at her confusedly "Yah what did I even do so wrong?" He said walking away from her desk

"Hey, Gyeong-su it's alright, calm down" Said a girl who entered behind Na-yeon, Jung Areum.

Areum is a young kind girl, loved by all. She isn't much talkative, but she's very gentle with each and every person around her. Unlike others, Areum have a totally different point of view for Na-yeon, At some point, she understands the reason why she behaves that way.

And not just Areum, but even for Na-yeon, She also sees Areum a bit differently than she does with others. Everyone else just listens to her thoughts and make fun of them, or hang out with her cause of her money. Though Areum and her never properly talked, Areum sometimes jokes around when Na-yeon tells rumours about stuff to others. Where she should be annoyed, like she acts, she instead likes it when Areum jokes around with her.

Just then, their homeroom teacher, Park Sun-hwa enters the class and all the students settles down on their seats. They greeted good morning to the teacher and she greeted back with a smile

"Does anyone by chance have any information about Hyeon-ju? She did not arrive at her home last night, and no one seems to know where she has gone" The teacher asked while some students shook their heads

"She was at the Science lab yesterday before I left" A student named Joon-young spoke up to which Ms. Park nodded "Well if anyone finds out anything so let me know okay?" the students replied with a OK and the teacher started the lesson

The lesson went by, and the teacher asked a question to the class, and everyone pretended to look down into their books, except for one student who stood up" C-can I go to the bathroom.. ?" She said while stuttering" Ah, okay go" The teacher said, and the student quickly walked out

"Nam-ra, you tell me the answer" she looked up at the teacher "The truth is, all of us have some sort of prejudice. We all have proconceptions about other people" The teacher slightly smiled "Hm, nice, okay now Bare-su, stand up" Su-hyeok looked at the teacher and confusedly stood up "Yeah?" The teacher asked "What's with 'bare-su'?" The teacher stared at him, but instead, Joon-young replied "It's short for barefoot Su-hyeok, Bare-su" Some students chuckled "He's so weird he hates wearing socks" More laughs were heard and the teacher nodded with a chuckle "Okay Bare-su, what did Nam-ra say a minute ago?" he was quite for a while "Ah.. She was absolutely correct. A hundred percent" Students laughed again at Su-hyeok's humourious answer

"What was her absolutely correct answer then?" The teacher asked again, and the class watched him with giggles but as he was about to say something, the classrooms door opened, revealing a bleeding Hyeon-ju

"Hyeon-ju?" She fell to the ground but the teacher was fast to catch her "Hyeon-ju? What happened to you?? Are you okay??" The teacher asked as some students went up to her

"Ms. Park.." Hyeon-ju said with a weak voice "Oh yeah it's me. Do you recognize me?" Sun-hwa asked her "He grabbed me.... The science teacher grabbed me and locked me up..." Everyone looked at each other shocked "He locked you? The science teacher? Mr. Lee Byeong-chan?" "I told you" Nayeon mumbled to the girls "Just shut up" one of them said to her

"Lets go to the infirmary okay? Nam-ra, make sure that they study on their own, and please don't say anything to anyone until I come back and confirm the facts. Hyeon-ju, can you get up?" The teacher spoke "Let me help her" Su-hyeok said, helping Hyeon-ju up "Let me help too" the girl On-Jo held Hyeon-ju from the other side and the three of them left

The students started mumbling stuff to each other and Na-yeon sat down with a group of girls, telling them about the rumours she heard "It was so strange, Hyeon-ju was so odd" One of the girls named Hyo-ryeong said "Yeah totally" Na-yeon said, agreed. "Everyone saw that, first she disappeared for a whole day, then she comes all bloody talking about the science teacher" The other two nodded to what Hyo-ryeong said "It got to be true" Na-yeon said "Did you hear something?" Hyo-ryeong asked surprised "You know how we heard his son went missing? I heard he didn't go missing" Listening to Na-yeon, Areum sitting just in front of her chuckled and got up from her seat, going behind and sitting next to Na-yeon who was so into the talk "Ah, then what happened to him?" Areum said in a teasing tone, looking at Na-yeon with a smile. Na-yeon glanced at her but ignored it "Suicide" Areum chuckled "Detective Lee Na-yeon" She laughed when she earned a glare from Na-yeon "Where do you get all of this information?" Na-yeon turned to her with a straight face "I have my ways, I'm not always lost in books like you" Areum laughed and patted Na-yeon's head like a kid "That explains why I'm smarter" Before Na-yeon could reply, everyone's attention was caught by I-sak, a girl who went with On-Jo and Su-hyeok to the infirmary

Na-yeon quickly went up to her and attacked her with questions but I-sak simply answered looking very confused

"She tried to bite On-Jo"

Bite? Areum thought
