Authour’s POV
The item Olivia took out was a box of cigarettes. This surprised Miss Jung as she could not believe what she had seen. Y/N shook his head, telling Olivia that he could smell the smell of nicotine when she spoke to him. Olivia was unable to say a single word, allowing Y/N to ask Miss Jung what they should do to Olivia. Miss Jung was too shocked to answer as Y/N decided to make the decision.
Y/N’s POV
“Since your homeroom teacher can’t answer me, I decided to suspend you from school for the next two weeks. Do self-reflect and when you come back, I hope you learn something,” I told Olivia.
Olivia did not say a single word, took her bag and left my office. Miss Jung followed Olivia out of my office as I picked up the telephone. Calling Miss Seo, I asked Miss Seo to help write up a suspension notice for Olivia and hand it over to me to sign it. Miss Seo agreed and I hung up the call, continuing to do my work.
Olivia’s POV
I was surprised how Mr Y/N found out that I was a smoker when I did not even tell anyone. As I left Mr Y/N’s office, I did not know Miss Jung followed me out of the office. I only knew she left the office when someone called me and I turned to see that it was Miss Jung calling me. I stopped in my tracks as Miss Jung grabbed me by the shoulders.
“Tell me that I am not seeing things just now? You are not a smoker right?” Miss Jung asked me.
“Sorry Miss Jung. I am indeed a smoker. Sorry to disappoint you,” I replied Miss Jung, as I proceeded to give her a hug.
I could feel Miss Jung hugging me real tight, telling me that she was not disappointed with me being a smoker. After we broke the hug, Miss Jung told me that she would speak to Mr Y/N to cancel my suspension. I shook my head, telling Miss Jung that I would accept the suspension. Miss Jung showed a disappointed face but told me not to slack off during the suspension.
“Yes Miss Jung, I will study at home in the meantime,” I answered, smiling at the same time.
Miss Jung offered to send me to the main gate until Miss Seo showed up with a piece of paper. Miss Seo then asked Miss Jung to sign the paper which she did. After that, Miss Seo handed me the paper and told me that this was a document as proof that I was serving my suspension. I sighed and nodded my head, taking the paper from Miss Seo. After Miss Jung walked me to the school gate, I waved goodbye to her and went back home.
“Be careful Olivia! I will ask Si Eun to pass you your homework for you to do at home alright?” Miss Jung shouted.
“I will Miss Jung!” I shouted back.

Meanwhile, Arin was out on a lunch date with Soo Bin. The couple headed to a café that was in central Gangnam. As it was the fifth day of them being a couple, the two of them were very lovey-dovey. Once inside the café, they went to the counter to order their food first. After ordering their food, they took their seats and sat opposite each other.
“Do you have any plans for this weekend? If you don’t, we can go out and have fun at Lotte world,” said Soo Bin.
“Hmm, sure thing. I am just not free on Sunday because me and my family are going out for lunch. Maybe we can go on a Saturday?” Arin asked Soo Bin.
Soo Bin nodded his head, showing a smile which made Arin chuckle. Soon, their food was served and the couple slowly enjoyed their meal.
Eunseo’s POV
I decided to go out and have lunch with my close friend SinB. It had been a while since the both of us had met. We agreed to meet at central Gangnam for lunch. Upon meeting, we hugged each other as if we had not seen each other for a long time.
“How’s school?” I asked SinB.
“Stressful. There are so many things to do. Good thing I am not busy this week,” SinB replied to me.
I chuckled, telling SinB that she should be grateful that she managed to get a place in university and study. SinB shook her head, telling me that having a job was better than studying. I shook my head and laughed as we went to our favourite café to have lunch. Once we arrived at the café, we ordered our food. When we were going to find our seats, we noticed a high school couple sitting near the glass window.
“That couple, don’t you find them familiar?” I asked SinB.
I looked carefully at the couple and realized that the couple was Arin and Soo Bin. We were surprised as we approached them and greeted them. They were surprised by our appearance and greeted us.
“What are you two doing here? Are you two dating?” SinB asked.
Arin and Soo Bin were not able to answer SinB which made me chuckle. I looked at Arin and told her that we would pretend not to see them here. Arin showed a smile and nodded her head, as SinB and I went to another table at the other side of the café to sit down. SinB turned to look at the couple and sighed.
“Arin is so lucky to be dating Soo Bin. He is such a nice boy,” said SinB.
“For sure. So when are you gonna get a boyfriend?” I chuckled, teasing SinB.
SinB showed me an unhappy face, then asked me back the same question. I smiled, saying that I have many suitors. SinB laughed, asking me for proof. I pouted, saying that I would show her my future boyfriend one day. The food soon arrived and we began eating. When we ate our food halfway, Arin and Soo Bin came to our table to say goodbye to us. We said goodbye to them as we saw Arin and Soo Bin holding hands.
“They look so cute together,” said SinB.
“Couldn’t agree more,” I said to SinB.
Authour’s POV
A few hours later, Eunseo finished her day out with SinB and headed home. Once she arrived home, she saw Olivia sitting in the living room using her phone. The two girls did not say anything to each other until Eunseo saw a piece of paper dangling outside Olivia’s bag. This made Eunseo curious that she took the paper and read it.
“Suspension? What is the meaning of this?” Eunseo asked.
Olivia ignored Eunseo which made Eunseo angry. Eunseo grabbed Olivia’s phone and requested Olivia to explain the piece of paper she just read. Olivia looked at Eunseo and asked for her phone back.
“Son Hyeju. Answer me now. Why are you suspended from school?” Eunseo shouted at Olivia.
“I got suspended because the principal found out that I am a smoker. He even managed to find a pack of cigarettes on me. Are you happy now?” Olivia asked Eunseo, in a loud voice.
Eunseo was furious with Olivia’s answer that she slapped Olivia real hard. Olivia became angry that she snatched the phone from Eunseo and ran into her room. After Olivia closed the door hard, Eunseo started to squat down on the floor and cried.
Y/N’s POV
Today is a saturday. A good time to rest but I have things to do. As usual, I left home to go for a run. After I finished running 5km (3.11miles), I headed back home. I would have to walk pass the convenience store to go to the lift lobby. When I walked past the store, I noticed how quiet it was and that no one was at the counter. I decided to enter the store to see if anyone was working.
“Hello, anyone there?” I called out.
When I did not get any response, I went straight to the cashier to see if anyone was squatting down there. To my surprise, there was no one there. I was confused and was about to leave, I heard crying sounds from the backroom door. This made me walk to the backroom and open the door. I looked around the room and I saw Eunseo sitting down on the floor. Looking carefully, I saw Eunseo holding a penknife. This alarmed me as I ran to her and knocked the penknife off her hand.
“What are you doing?” I asked her.
Eunseo did not answer me as I noticed she had cuts on her arm. I quickly took off my towel and tried to clean the cuts. I then pulled her up and sat her down on the sofa. I went to look for a first aid kit which I managed to find one. After I cleaned up the cuts on her arm, I looked at Eunseo and asked her if she was alright. Eunseo nodded her head before closing her eyes and fainting. I somehow managed to catch her from falling. I shook my head and laid her on the sofa and left the backroom.
“What should I do now?” I wondered.
I looked at the cashier and saw that there was a number written which I called. The person did not answer my call at first but gave me a return call.
“Hello, Jason speaking. I received a missed call from this number?” the person asked.
