When Yuna returned to the gaming cafe, Si-eun and Ji-hoon had already reconciled.
But as soon as they saw her, their facial expressions changed.
They said almost simultaneously, in an angry tone:
"Why are you late?!"
Yuna blinked in surprise and said:
"Am I really late?"
Ji-hoon waved his hand tiredly and said:
"Let's ignore it… I have work now."
The others nodded.
"Okay… goodbye."
They quickly dispersed, and no one remained in the place except Ji-hoon and Yuna.
Ji-hoon sighed a little and said:
"Well… I guess the time was fun, right?"
Then he suddenly fell silent.
He began staring at Yuna for a long time without uttering a word.
Yuna found his gaze strange and asked him:
"What's wrong with you? Why are you looking at me like that?"
He didn't answer.
Ji-hoon kept staring at her in silence.
Then… he reached out his hand.
At that moment, Yuna understood what he meant.
She said hesitantly:
"Do you want… money?"
Then she quickly added:
"The streets are working, why do you want money from me?"
Ji-hoon's expression froze for a moment, then he said in an angry tone:
"I mean the money you promised me."
Yuna's eyes widened slightly.
"Ah… that."
Then she said nervously:
"Actually… right now I only have—"
But before she could finish, Ji-hoon's gaze turned blank…
As if his heart stopped for a moment.
He said very slowly:
"You're… crazy, right?"
Then he raised his voice:
"You told me you'd give me ten times what you took!"
Yuna turned her gaze to the other side, as if ignoring him.
Inside, she was thinking:
"I thought Yuna had a lot of money…"
But when she looked at her bank card…
She was almost bankrupt.
Yuna finally sighed and said sheepishly:
"I… I'm really sorry about that. It was a misunderstanding."
Ji-hoon exploded angrily:
"Misunderstanding?! What does misunderstanding have to do with it?!"
Then he pointed at her nervously:
"You told me word for word that you'd give me ten times the amount!"
Yuna said quickly, trying to calm him down:
"Okay! Okay! I'll give it to you."
Then she added in a lower voice:
"But now… I really don't have any money."
She took out her phone and said:
"Take my number. I'll call you when I get the money."
Ji-hoon stared at her for long seconds, then finally said with suppressed anger:
"Okay…"
On the way back
Yuna sighed as she walked down the narrow street.
"I have to go home today… right?"
But as she was walking through an alley, she saw four young men standing on the corner.
One of them suddenly said:
"Oh… Yuna, come here."
Yuna paused for a moment.
"Who is this? Is this someone Yuna knows?" she thought to herself.
The young man was around her age.
His blond hair was slicked back, his eyes were blue, he was wearing elegant black clothes, and his nose was slightly long.
Yuna looked at him calmly.
"He doesn't look like a side character… from his appearance."
The young man said arrogantly:
"I heard you hit Eric. Is that true?"
Yuna stared at him coldly.
At that moment, she realized he wasn't a friend.
She said coldly:
"And what if it's true?"
The young man was a little surprised by her response.
"You—"
But before he could finish…
Yuna punched him directly in the stomach.
The young man bent over in pain and shouted:
"What is this?! Why did you hit me, you crazy woman?!"
At that moment, the other two young men rushed toward her.
But Yuna moved quickly.
She kicked one in the face, and he fell to the ground,
and grabbed a stone from the ground and hit the other in the face with it.
But suddenly…
The blond young man grabbed her hair forcefully.
Yuna's eyes widened in shock.
"Damn…!"
But she didn't hesitate.
She hit him forcefully with her elbow in his nose.
The young man shouted:
"Ah!"
Then they all retreated and fled from the place.
Yuna stood fixing her hair in annoyance.
She muttered:
"This is why I hate long hair…"
In the alley after that
The blond young man said angrily:
"What is this?! That girl is despicable!"
She really has a bad attitude. We'll catch her at school and break her bones.
But didn't Hye Jin say she's weak and anyone can hit her? Yes, but it seems the information was wrong.
But suddenly…
They heard a man's voice behind them.
"You fools… did any of you touch little Yoonji?"
The blond young man turned and said angrily:
"Who is this man? Does any of you know him?"
"What is this crazy man saying?"
One of his friends tried to hit the man.
But the man said calmly:
"Yoonji… is mine."
And suddenly—
The man hit the young man and threw him violently to the ground, bleeding.
The blond young man froze in place.
The man grabbed a wooden stick…
And hit the second young man with it.
He fell but remained conscious.
The man noticed that…
So he started hitting him with the stick brutally until he passed out.
The blond young man trembled with fear and started crying.
"Please! Please stop! I didn't do anything!"
The man said coldly:
"Why did you hit Yoonji?"
The young man trembled and said:
"There's a misunderstanding! I didn't hit any girl with that name!"
But—
The man hit him forcefully with the stick.
The young man screamed in pain:
"Please! I can't bear the pain!"
Then he passed out.
The man grabbed him by his hair…
And coldly broke his legs.
Then he began smashing his bones one by one.
And after that…
The man disappeared into the darkness.
The next morning – School
Everyone was talking in the classroom.
Han Si-eul said:
"Yuna, did you hear?"
"About what?"
"Hye Jin's boyfriend was hospitalized."
Yuna blinked.
"Who is Hye Jin?"
Han Si-eul's eyes widened in shock.
"You don't know her?! She's the most famous model in school!"
At that moment, a girl entered the classroom.
She had green hair and brown eyes.
She said angrily:
"Bora! Was it you who did that?!"
Bora was sitting quietly chewing gum.
Her black hair was curly and her dark black eyes were deep.
Suddenly—
Bora slapped Hye Jin.
And said coldly:
"Do you think I care about your stupid boyfriend?"
Then she smiled sarcastically.
"Why don't you ask the man-stealer in the classroom?"
Everyone suddenly looked at one person.
Aren.
Hye Jin said:
"Right! You! You steal all the men!"
Then she shouted:
"Because you couldn't take Tae Hyun's heart… you hit him!"
Aren said in shock:
"What?! I didn't do anything!"
But suddenly—
Hye Jin grabbed her hair and threw her to the ground.
"Stop lying! I'll break your nose!"
Han Si-eul laughed and said to Yuna:
"Look!"
Then she took out her phone and started recording.
Soon, all the students in the classroom started filming.
Aren was crying.
But suddenly—
Eric entered the classroom.
He pushed Hye Jin away from her and hugged Aren.
Aren cried and said:
"Why is this happening to me… what did I do?"
But Bora laughed while chewing gum.
"Oh… did the loyal dog come to save his mistress?"
Eric got very angry.
Bora said sarcastically:
"What? Are you going to hit a girl?"
Then she smiled coldly.
"Don't forget that your family's company is a subsidiary of our company."
And she added:
"So know your limits, Eric."
Hye Jin said contemptuously:
"You think you're a knight in shining armor? You're just garbage."
At that moment…
Yuna looked at the whole scene.
Then she muttered quietly:
"How pathetic…"
Then she added to herself:
"If this is the main character in Yuna's body… then I'm much better."
