As tension thickened around Sunoo, the group huddled close, their worry palpable. But outside the coop area, Jungwon and Ni-Ki remained aloof, their indifference evident.
Jungwon: Sunoo is such an attention seeker.
Nayeon, fueled by protective instinct, charged towards Jungwon, followed by Jaeyun, Heeseung, and Seonmi, culminating in a slap echoing through the shed.
Jungwon: Why did you slap me?
Nayeon: Stay away from Sunoo. Do you understand me? *pushes Jungwon*
Jungwon: You think I'm scared of you, Nayeon? *pushes Nayeon back but again gets pushed back by Jaeyun*
Jaeyun: If you're looking for a fight, fight with someone with the same level of energy.
Jungwon: Tch. You bastard. Are you insulting me? Your whole family is foul-mouthed.
Jaeyun: You want a piece of me?
Jungwon: *grabbing Jaeyun's collar* Bring it on.
Seonmi: Hey. Don't fight. You'll get punished by the Masters.
Ni-Ki: Can you stop acting like you're our leader? Get lost, okay. *pushes Seonmi*
Heeseung: *pushes Ni-Ki*
Ni-Ki: This is none of your business.
As tempers flared, Heeseung and Ni-Ki locked eyes in a silent standoff, each refusing to back down.
*Dang..... Dang..... Dang.....*
Hye Kyo: It's time for lunch. Please go to the dining room to eat together.
Nayeon: *to Jungwon* Asshole.
Heeseung: *concerned* Are you hurt?
Seonmi: I'm fine. Thanks.

As the group settled into the dining room, anticipation for the meal ahead filled the air.
Rowoon: Please enjoy your meal.
However, their excitement quickly turned to disappointment as they discovered an unexpected twist in their lunch.
Yoomi: Uh, why is this so salty?
Jaeyun: Whoa. This bread is so hard. I can hit people's heads with it.
Jihyo: This tastes nothing like breakfast. It's not okay.
Jongseong: Our parents didn't pay an expensive tuition fee for us to eat this. You're clearly cheating us.
Sumin: Who's responsible for this? Can that person cook us new ones?
Rowoon: No one will get new food. If you don't eat, you will have to put up with your hunger until the next meal.
Bora: Then, will dinner be like this?
Rowoon: *smiling* Food is all the same. *bow and left the place*
Despite the disappointment, Seonmi and Heeseung began to eat, determined to quell their hunger, much to Bora's disbelief.
Bora: How can you guys eat it?
Seonmi: Like Master Rowoon said, if we don't eat, we'll have to put up with our hunger until the evening.
With a sense of resignation, some students reluctantly followed suit, while others found humor in the situation.
Sunghoon: *to Jongseong* Look. *banging the plate with the bread* I can almost make a craving out of it.
