The air in the school is thick with whispered rumors. Ryujin finds Yeji, sensing the icy distance between them. 'Yeji, why is everyone talking about us?' she asks. Yeji snaps back, 'It’s just gossip. I had nothing to do with it.' Ryujin doesn’t understand. 'You had nothing to do with it? It’s us against everyone.' Yeji pushes her away with a dismissive shrug. 'What’s wrong?' Ryujin asks softly. Then Hwang shouts, nearly screaming the words: 'I wish you were dead!' before turning and vanishing into the girls’ restroom, leaving Ryujin standing alone, stunned.
