BACK when Woori's parents were exposed as scammers, she was inevitably ostracized not just by her classmates, but the entire school as well.
Park Seoham was her parents' only victim in school.
But, of course, that was enough to gain the wrath of the entire student body population.
Fortunately, aside from the bad rumors being spread about her, nobody bullied her physically…
… except for one person.
Eww.
For today, Kwon Ana 'showered' Woori with trash.
Kwon Ana went all out today…
To be exact, Kwon Ana ordered Cho Inho to pour the disgusting and stinky contents of the trash can over her head. Since Cho Inho towered over Woori,
The bin wasn't only filled with dry garbage.
Sticky liquid also spilled all over her.
Disgusting…
"Is this it for today?" Woori asked in a tired voice. "Can I go now?"
The classes hadn't started yet when Kwon Ana dragged Woori out of the classroom earlier.
After that, Kwon Ana brought her to the back of their class building, where Cho Inho was already waiting with a trash bin.
Yeah, it was obviously planned.
"If you're done, then I'm going back to class."
"You're seriously going back to class?" Kwon Ana asked in disbelief. "I did this to you because I want you to go home and stop going to school!"
"So, I assume we're done here," Woori said, ignoring Kwon Ana's outburst. And then she turned her back on her. "I'll still come to school tomorrow, so if you really want to stop me, you should ask Cho Inho to break my ankles. But, even then, I'd still crawl to get here."
"Cho Inho is an athlete!" Kwon Ana yelled angrily. "Why would I ask him to break a civilian's ankle? Do you want him to lose the chance to join the national team?!"
Woori just rolled her eyes.
But asking Cho Inho to pour garbage over me is fine?
Anyway, she didn't go straight to the classroom because she looked and smelled bad.
Woori went to the bathroom to wash her hair and change her clothes.
Yep, she already expected something like this to happen. So, she brought an extra uniform. She also kept an extra set of her gym uniform in her locker.
I can be smart sometimes.
Unfortunately, even after washing her hair and changing into a new set of uniform, Woori still smelled bad.
Not as stinky as before, but she still smelled like trash.
She was wondering if she should spray some perfume, but…
"Joo Woori."
Hmm?
Woori lifted her head and beamed when she saw Park Seoham.
But her smile disappeared when she saw that he wasn't alone.
Park Seoham was with Kang Sion.
His best friend…
Kang Sion, who was holding a pretty big canvas, avoided Woori's gaze.
Woori also did the same because she felt awkward around Park Seoham's best friend the most.
I'd rather get bullied by Kwon Ana and Cho Inho than see Kang Sion.
"Joo Woori, come here."
What?
Woori was surprised when Park Seoham grabbed her by the wrist, and then he dragged her.
Before she knew it, they were already outside the school.
"Seoham-ah, we're going to miss our class!"
Park Seoham finally let go of her wrist, and then he turned around to face her properly. "Joo Woori, how thick-skinned are you to continue going to school after what your parents did to mine?"
"If I don't go to school, then I won't be able to see you."
"I don't want to see you anymore, Joo Woori," Park Seoham said coldly. "Just please disappear from my life."
Ah.
Woori didn't mean to, but that was the day Park Seoham's wish came true— the day her parents dragged her to the US with them, against her will.
***
WOORI woke up just in time.
The plane had just landed.
It's been a while, Jeju Island.
Unfortunately, this time, she wasn't there for leisure— she was there for work.
Woori was bad with directions, but luckily, she found an app that helped her navigate her way to the village where the filming was taking place.
She just needed to ride two buses before finally arriving at the Seowon Village.
But am I in the right place?
Woori had been texting and calling Kwon Ana ever since she arrived on Jeju Island.
However, Kwon Ana wasn't replying to her messages.
She's not picking up my calls, either.
Woori was about to walk towards the village with her small luggage when she finally got a call from Kwon Ana.
Finally.
"Ana-ssi, I just arrived at Seowon Village."
"What are you saying, Woori-ssi? The location is SuwonVillage, not Seowon Village."
Woori's knees instantly collapsed after hearing the bad news from Kwon Ana. "You're saying I'm at the wrong place?"
