Sequel to Lovers in the Night.
"No matter what lifetime you're living in," he slowly presses his body closer to her, softly pressing his dainty lips against her ear. "You are mine, the same way I am yours. Cheers to us, the Lovers in the Night."

TW: Sexual assault.
A couple days later, the two still weren't talking. One would've expected that they'd have small talk at least, but that didn't happen either.
Additionally, Jieum had turned into someone Yona didn't recognize, though it seemed natural to the now-popular girl. She started to dress differently and her vibes were now off. She refused to acknowledge Yona's existence as well. Yona couldn't help but if she were the inhibitor to her change.
No surprise, Jungwon made it into the football team along with Leehan. He subtly glances at Yona before sighing. Though he had that talk with Minji, he still wasn't ready to say a word to her. Again, it was the Human emotions affecting his rationality.
His train of thought gets interrupted when a dainty finger pokes him on the shoulder. "Hey," he is surprised to see that it was Jieum. "There's some things I need to tell you. Can we talk somewhere?"
All of her new friends were behind her, eyes glistening. He wasn't sure what she wanted to talk about that involved all of them, but he didn't think much of it. "Uh, okay?" He looks at Leehan in a questioning manner, but all the boy does is shrug.
Grace watches the entire thing happen from afar. Her eyes never leave the group until they had all left the classroom, out of sight. "I saw Jieum taking Jungwon somewhere, and I don't have a good vibe. Somethings up. Her new posse was trailing them."
"It'll be fine," Yona clicks her tongue as she ate her lunch. Although they were no longer friends, she didn't have anymore ill-feeling toward Jieum. Her ill-feelings greatly affected relationships and people, so she decided to lay off her judgemental mindset.
"No, I'm being serious. This feels off. Jieum had a face on that I never saw on her." Finally, Yona looks at Grace. Grace continued eerily, "She looked like she wanted something from him."
"Jieum's creepy," Leehan says as he sits down beside the two girls.
"Exactly!" Grace points at him as if she were going to use him as an affidavit.
"Over the weekend, she texted me out of nowhere to hookup." Leehan elaborates. "I refused her because hooking up is not really my thing, and she wouldn't stop bugging me about it. I ended up blocking her due to it."
Hearing his story, Yona was finally worried. The two girls look back to the classroom exit, wondering is they should follow them.

He was pulled aside to an empty classroom by the girls. As they started to get situated, he couldn't help but awkwardly pace.
"Okay, Jieum. What did you want to talk about-?" He cuts himself off when he sees her blouse drops to the floor. "What the hell?" She seemed unhinged though she was doing something that made Jungwon very uncomfortable.
