Sara arrived home feeling frustrated. Immediately, a chat notification popped up. She looked at it and sighed.
"Hello darling, have you eaten yet? I've arrived in Siem Reap."
It was a message from Ree. If he hadn't sent a photo, We wouldn't have known it was him chatting with Sara, as he was using a new Facebook account. She replied that she hadn't eaten yet and told him not to chat, but to call her, as it would be better to talk. They called and talked, and Ree seemed very happy and in love when he spoke with Sara.
Ree mentioned that kan had tried to chat and call his old account many times. He found it annoying; he didn't know if she was playing dumb or genuinely stupid. Seeing the true nature of Senior Hana like this, she still didn't believe it and kept bringing up the same messy situation. He was truly annoyed with Likan. When he spoke of Likan, he was disappointed. How could she be so loyal to a fake person like Hana? Ree called Hana a fake person.
What made him most disappointed was that it was exactly as that a person told him. Hana remained silent and let everyone look at Ree alone. Seeing Hana's true nature more clearly, he decided to expose her.
Sara smiled and told him to stop thinking about those old things. She told him to take care of himself, enjoy his time in Siem Reap, and that she would always be by his side, even when they returned to school. Hearing this, Ree was a little happy and a little disappointed. He thanked her for agreeing to be his girlfriend. Even though she didn't love him, she had pity on him and wanted to repay him by granting his request.
Ree recalled a time after the incident and exposure at school. He decided to go to the seashore and unexpectedly saw Sara's group there, playing in the shallow water. Ree held his mouth, exclaiming, "Why is this situation exactly like what that person told me?" He opened his phone to check a chat that came to him occasionally. The message said: "Sara is going to the sea. Use this opportunity to your advantage. If you seize the opportunity, you will get what you desire." Ree thought, Is this person a fortune teller?
Suddenly, Sara's friends were playing and bullying tuna (from a distance, it didn't look like they were bullying tuna). Sara slowly walked to retrieve her shoe, which was floating. Suddenly! Crash! "Help!"
The three friends didn't notice because they were far away, but then they suddenly realized Sara was missing. "Oh my God, Sara is drowning! Does anyone know how to swim?" None of them knew how to swim. They were very worried and pushed Tuna, who also didn't know how to swim. She was hesitant, but they kept pushing her to quickly go and help Sara.
Suddenly, Ree rushed to help Sara immediately, which stunned them. But it was a good thing he saved Sara in time. As he performed resuscitation movements to make her cough up the water, Ree hesitated to give the breath that required mouth-to-mouth contact. But remembering the message from that person that he must seize the opportunity he immediately bent down to give her a breath, and their mouths touched.
The friends were stunned, grabbing Ree and pushing him away. How dare he do this! But Ree continued until Sara regained consciousness. When she saw that Ree had saved her, she was immediately pushed away, looking disgusted. The friends also looked worried. Then, one of them slapped tuna hard, making her hurt a lot, because tuna had been too scared to go help.
Sara was soaking wet and trembling all over. The friends were about to yell at Ree, but Sara held their hands, gesturing for them not to speak. She thanked Ree but he tell her no need thanks but…. Ree was silent for a moment . Sara looks he want something and make her feel digust looks like she know he will require something so she ask him.Her friends didn't want her to ask him that way: Why ask what he wants for just helping a person?
Ree immediately asked, "Can you be my girlfriend?"
Everyone was stunned, including Sara. Her friends cursed and pushed Ree, but they were silenced when Sara replied, agreeing, but only for the duration of the school break. Hearing her answer, Ree was so happy that he leaned in to hug her, but quickly pulled back, forgetting himself. He explained that he had loved her for a long time. He then asked is she minded that he had had issues with Senior Hana earlier?
Her friends were extremely disappointed. Seeing her friends getting agitated, she told them to wait a little further away. They had to leave, though still not reconciled to how she had agreed so easily.
Sara said she didn't mind. She only thanked Ree for saving her life; otherwise, Sara would have stopped breathing. Even though she hadn't asked him, Ree looked at her with disappointment, believing she probably didn't trust him. Sara saw his expression and clarified that she always trusts the person who saved her life.
Ree then clarified to her that he had loved her for a long time. He also wanted to study harder so Sara would notice him, especially since he heard Senior Hana was the person Sara always liked. He wanted to study with Senior Hana so Sara would notice him. At that time, Senior Hana was genuinely good; she helped him a lot. But one day, she probably couldn't keep a secret anymore and suddenly chatted with him first, even though he was usually the one who chatted her first, and she never replied unless it was about studies. That day, she described all her hardships and asked for a favor. She said not to mention what she had chatted to him about when they met outside, or she would lose trust in him. Since she poured out her heart, he was curious, but because she was good to him, he agreed to her request, thinking it was a small matter. But when everyone blamed him, she remained silent. He was truly disappointed and saw clearly how fake she was.
He was about to say more, but Sara cut him off, saying she understood. She also didn't expect Senior Hana to be like that. She added, "Anyway, don't speak badly of her. I still like her."
Sara was mentally exhausted. She thought, How dare this psycho do this? Before, she only relied on him to help hide the fact that she skipped school to go out he saw her that day. But Ree brought it up, seemingly trying to make a request. That day, Sara called Ree to meet her. She didn't expect him to be so shameless. how could he be so nosy when he saw her skipping school, and dare to use that to request to take her out to dinner? That day, she was rude to him because she didn't expect him to be so psycho. Later, they stopped talking. That was the extent of Ree and her involvement until now.
She thought, Is he this kind of person? Doesn't he know how much she hates him?
Anyway, she forced a smile and agreed, then left him first, saying she would contact him.
On the way, her friends were extremely surprised. She explained that she also hated him, but what could she do? He saw her skipping school before, and this time, he saved her and even kissed her. Did they think she wasn't disgusted? "Don't you know his character? He dared to make a request shamelessly. He requested something he shouldn't. Who knows what he would do if I refused? So, I have to endure and play along, but this relationship must be kept secret."
After a while of chatting, a car sound indicated it had entered the house. Sara smiled and said her parents had arrived. They hung up. Ree advised her to take care of her health. After hanging up, she truly hated him intensely.
What Ree told Sara had both truths and lies. The lie was that he didn't mention the existence of a person with a soft voice that made him smile with delight who called him that"Ree, Ree."
Mysterious Person: "Don't confess yet, because kan has no evidence."
That person was mysterious. Sometimes the voice was that of a woman, sometimes a man. Even though Ree asked who it was many times, they wouldn't say. They said their goal was to expose Hana's true nature.
They mentioned a thing that Sara hated: the comparison between her and Hana. That comparison was constantly made by Sara's mother. Hearing that Ree loved Sara, the person didn't want to clarify how Hana truly was. Should his beloved Sara be hurt by being compared to a fake person like Hana?
The person sometimes wrote, sometimes called and spoke, constantly changing their voice. They said that if Ree wanted Sara to love him, he should share Sara's sadness and expose Hana together. In return, he would gain everyone's understanding of Hana's fakeness, and Ree would gain Sara's happiness because her mother would stop comparing her. They promised to make Sara fall in love with him.
"What is your greatest desire?" Ree hesitated, but decided to reply: "To become Sara's boyfriend."
The person said that if he agreed to cooperate in exposing the fake Hana, they would help plan for Sara to fall in love with him. Ree seemed happy but asked, Why did you want to expose Hana?
The person said it was because Hana was an untrustworthy person. If Ree liked her for a long time, he would realize what Hana was like. She liked to use people and hide her own mistakes. The initial plan was that he should get close to Hana to study hard. At that time, Sara would surely notice him, because the person Sara hated and the person Sara was constantly being compared to was Hana. So, if Ree got close to Hana, Sara might notice him.
Since then, Ree had followed the advice of that mysterious person to make Sara love him. What he found was that Hana was indeed the person the mysterious person described. She unexpectedly chatted with him, making a request. Wanting to know her true character, he pretended not to know and went along with it. When they met outside, she didn't mention anything from the chat, so he thought she was a great actress. So, he also participated in the act by not mentioning anything from the chat while they were together outside. He was truly surprised and followed what Hana requested. He knew even more clearly how fake Hana was. That was the whole story.
The car sound earlier made Sara hang up the phone and quickly go to greet her parents, maintaining a proper demeanor. The car door opened, and she went to greet them. Sara: "Mom and Dad are home? Where is Sera?" Mother: "Your older brother and Sera will come together later. We're going to shower first, then we'll come down for dinner together."
Sara's father walked over and touched her cheek. "I was too busy with work and forgot to give my daughter's gift."
She smiled happily but was a little disappointed seeing her mother walk past her.
A moment later, they came downstairs, and the warmed food was served just as another car arrived. A girl about 10 years old ran to hug her mother happily, and a man in a doctor's uniform, who seemed rushed and ready to leave soon, arrived. They exchanged greetings and began to eat dinner.
Sara noticed that her mother was very attentive and cared for her siblings, but she didn't talk to Sara at all. When she did speak, she brought up Hana so Sara must to like Hana and get her as idle who the person that Sara must to repeat follow.
"I heard that young Hana had some trouble at school? I didn't expect a good girl like her to do that! You should take her as a role model, but only for studying. Look at your younger sister; she's going to study abroad soon. Look at yourself, how much have you developed?"
Sara gave an inappropriate smile. What was worse was that her mother added, "You have time to smile?"
Her father held Sara's hand and said, "It's dinner time. Stop talking." He then told Sara to eat more because she looked thin.
After dinner, her father apologized for not giving her gift sooner, as it had been many days since Sara got the first place result. He asked what she wanted. "Yes, Dad. For the New Year's, my friends and I plan to visit Siem Reap. Can we go?" Her father thought for a moment and agreed.
Her mother didn't say anything, but suddenly her older brother stood up quickly, patted Sara and her younger sister's heads, and then left their parents. Her mother advised her eldest son to take care of his health and not to work too hard. She seemed very worried. After speaking, she went upstairs.
"Oh, that's right! I heard you want to sign up for the gifted student exam?" "Yes, Dad, but it will be after school starts again, probably in August." "Don't force yourself too much, and don't compare yourself to others." Sara smiled and replied that it was nothing; she just wanted to be good. Then she hugged her dad and went up to her room.
Turning back to Ree, he seemed to be pacing back and forth, looking at his phone, as if he wanted to call someone. After a long time, he decided to call. Fortunately, the person picked up, as there had been no news from them since Hana's exposure.
"Hello! You finally picked up my call?" Mysterious Person: "What's wrong? What do you want?"
Ree called them for nothing much, just to thank them for fulfilling his wish and for making him realize something new about Hana, whom he always loved. It turns out her true nature was like that.
Mysterious Person's voice rang out: "The matter is over. Go and fulfill your wish well. I didn't help you much, just doing a good deed by exposing a person who is good at hiding their true colors like Hana."
Immediately, the phone was hung up, and the mysterious person's number blocked Ree's phone. Ree was stunned. What? Blocked me? This person is so strange!
