Chapter 11

Previous Story:

Yu Jin was injured while taking something from inside the drawer, his finger scratched by a cutter knife. Sakura panics and wants to treat Yu Jin's wound, but the man refuses. The cut on his finger slowly healed by itself. In other words his body cells regenerated rapidly.

"I'm sorry Yu Jin..." Sakura looks awry. "I just…"

"Go home..." Yu Jin got up and walked through Sakura who was still silent.

"Young Master...!" Fuji-san tries to stop Yu Jin but he does not continue his sentence when Yu Jin stares at him. "Ok! Be careful on the road... I'll wait for you at home!"

"I'm not a kid anymore! Don’t wait for me, tell Auntie I'll have dinner outside!"

Sakura ran after Yu Jin into the elevator. Awkward atmosphere makes Yu Jin hope that the elevator soon arrives on the first floor.

"Ehhmm ...!" Sakura tries to start a conversation, "I'm sorry Yu Jin!"

"No! I'm the one who has to apologize for being rude to you! Sorry...", Yu Jin leans against the elevator wall looking up.

"Where are you going?" Sakura asked curiously. "Aunt and Huan Ran must be worried if you come home late!"

Yu Jin remain silent, his eyes closed. Suddenly, Lilly's reflection came into his mind. Yu Jin wondered what happened to the girl.

“Yu Jin... Yu Jin...!" Sakura patted Yu Jin's shoulder to wake him up.

Sakura's voice interrupted Yu Jin's reverie. At the same time the elevator doors open. Yu Jin walks out and walks toward the main exit. Sakura trotted after him.

"Yu Jin, wait..." Sakura pulled his arm.

"Sakura! Let me alone..." Yu Jin brushes Sakura's hand gently.

"No! At this time I will not leave you alone..." Sakura insisted, "I'm your fiancee..."

Yu Jin stares at Sakura with a face without expression, "Sakura our engagement is just a business determined by our parents. Means nothing! You know that, don’t you?"

Tears flooded Sakura's cheeks, there was pain when she heard Yu Jin's words. Yu Jin's words seemed to wake her from a beautiful dream. She realizes Yu Jin's attitude to her has not changed, still like a childhood friend.

Yu Jin wipes Sakura's tears, there is a feeling of guilt in his heart. But compared to making her a runaway place, he prefers to hurt his childhood friend with reality.

"I'm sorry…" Yu Jin hugs Sakura as he rubs her head gently. "My heart is dead, you know that, right!? No more light there. Only darkness! You will suffer with me..."

Sakura gasped, how could she forget about Valleri? The first and last love for Yu Jin. The three of them are friends since childhood, Valleri is a cheerful girl, kind hearted and always put others first than herself. Valleri's innocence and kindness made everyone love her. Including Yu Jin who is so crazy about her.

The relationship between Yu Jin and Valleri is getting closer each day. it makes Sakura jealous and sometimes oppressors Valleri indirectly. But Valleri never had a grudge, she always smiled. Sakura love Yu Jin who loves Valleri, but the Yu Jin she knows changed since that night. The tragic night where Yu Jin lost the people he loved.

"Yu Jin, Mom and Dad will arrive at 9 pm…" A Loving gentle voice sounded from the end of the phone. "Are you going to wait for us?"

"Of course, Mom! I will wait..." Yu Jin replied as he tidied up his clothes. "I'll take Valleri and Sakura... I'm sure they can’t wait to see the souvenirs you bought!"

"I'm sure that's just your excuse! Do you think Mom doesn’t know, If one day you don’t meet Valleri, you're like a cell phone that runs out of battery...?!"

Yu Jin chuckled, blushing with embarrassment. After hanging up the phone from his mother, Yu Jin heads to Sakura's house to pick her up, then the two of them go together to pick up Valleri. They never thought that night was the last night they saw Valleri's smile. By the time they reached Valleri's house, the police and ambulance cars were parked at the house. Many people gather at Valleri's house.

Chapter 12

Yu Jin and Sakura get out of the car. They walked close to Valleri's house with a sense of curiosity and a myriad of questions

"Sorry! You're not allowed in. This house is a crime scene!" Said a policeman while preventing Yu Jin and Sakura from entering the house.

"We are friends of the owners of this house. What do you mean by the crime scene? What happened?" Yu Jin seems to have a bad feeling, in his heart he wishes all was well.

"An hour ago there was robbery and murder in this house!"

Ctaarrr.... The policeman's answer was like a thunderbolt that snatched up in a hole. Yu Jin's body is stiff, his mind is empty. His hands shook.

There was a shout from inside the house. Yu Jin realized it was Mrs. Bianca’s voice, Valleri’s Mom. Yu Jin breaks into the house, he wants to see Valleri. His heart was pounding, bad thoughts came to his mind.

Yu Jin's footsteps stopped when he saw Valleri, sitting next to her hysterical mother mourning her husband's death. Her shirt was torn apart, her beautiful face no longer smiling. One look Yu Jin immediately understood the situation, Valleri persecuted.

Valleri, the girl he loves, is no longer the smiling Valleri who is spoiled to him, no longer the sweet girl who loves to tease him. Valleri who is in front of him is only a body without soul, eyes that always shine full of affection that no longer exists, now just a blank stare, the eyes that imply deep suffering.

Yu Jin opens his jacket with trembling hands. He wrapped Valleri's tiny body with his jacket. Yu Jin cries silently while cleaning up the dried blood around Valleri’s thighs and legs. Yu Jin's mind rejects the reality in front of his eyes, he rejects the fact that the girl he loves is not only persecuted, but also has been raped.

"Yuu... Jin!" Valleri’s low voice makes Yu Jin startled. He could not look at Valleri. Yu Jin clenched his lips in tears.

"Yuu... Jin..." once again the low voice of Valleri sounded. This time Yu Jin ventured to look at Valleri. "Yuu... Jin..." with blank stares, without any sign of life, Valleri calls Yu Jin's name over and over again.

Yu Jin's hysterical voice sounded so heartbreaking, Sakura who witnessed the tragic event could only cry. Her heart ached to see her two friends experienced a terrible incident like this.

An hour later Fuji-san arrives at Valleri's residence. Fuji-san can only embrace Yu Jin and Sakura. The police asked them to leave the scene. Mrs Bianca and Valleri were taken to one of YURAN Enterprise's Hospitals. Fuji-san accompanies Yu Jin and Sakura to the hospital, as Yu Jin refuses to leave Valleri.

"Hi Princess..." Yu Jin called Valleri as he stroked Valleri's cheek

"............" Vallery did not budge, her eyes still empty.

"Please! Come back to me...", Yu Jin holds the girl's hand, tears falling down the strands of their hands.

"Yu Jin...?"

Yu Jin looked up, found Valleri looking at him with a sad look. The girl smiled with an expression he could not understand. Tears streamed down her bruised cheeks.

"Yes, it's me..." Yu Jin's voice trembled as he pressed his forehead to Valleri's forehead. "It's okay! I'm here Princess... You are save now!"

Valleri's cries broke out instantly, filling the room, the sound of such a hearty crying sounding up in the halls of the hospital.

Fuji-san's cell phone rang. He immediately answered the incoming phone call. The call lasted only 5 minutes, but the news he received sent him to his knees, his hands trembling, his tears running as he looked at Yu Jin.

"Fuji-san, what's up?" Sakura, who had been in the room, approached Lee's family right-hand man

"Young Master...!" Fuji-san's voice trembles, holding back tears. Yu Jin is confused to see Fuji-san like that, "Young Master..."

Yu Jin immediately approached the man who has served his family for the last 19 years. He shook Fuji-san's body, "What's up? Say..."

"Your parents...!" Fuji-san sobs, "The master and madame are gone!"

Yu Jin confuse, "What do you mean by gone? Say it clearly..."

"The private plane they were flying in exploded in the air!"

"Noo... Noo... NOOOO!"

Yu Jin passed out instantly, the misfortune that befell Valleri and the news of the deaths of his parents made him devastated, his thoughts and feelings unable to accept that fact. After Yu Jin awake, there is only Sakura in the room where he was treated. Night is getting late, Yu Jin sees Sakura asleep beside him.

"At this moment everyone in the house is busy taking care of the father and mother's funeral..." Yu Jin clenched his lips to keep from crying. He remembered the last conversation with his mother. He could still hear his mother's voice. His heart was completely destroyed. Now he has only Huan Ran and Valleri.

Yu Jin comes out of his room rushing into Valleri's room. Once inside the room, Yu Jin immediately sees the girl he loves standing on the veranda.

"Valleriii...!!?" Yu Jin shouted, startled to see Valleri in outside of her room. "What are you doing there? Come in, the night air is very cold..."

"What's up with Valleri? Is she okay?", Sakura suddenly entered, her pace stopped when she saw Valleri on the veranda

Valleri turns and smiles to Yu Jin and Sakura, "Yu Jin... I'm sorry...!!"

"NOOOO...!!!" Yu Jin and Sakura's shouts that night accompanied Valleri's departure.

In just one night Yu Jin lost the people he loved. For a month Yu Jin locked himself in his room, drove all the people who wanted to meet him, even his sister's cries did not make him budge. Until one morning Yu Jin came out of his room announcing that he would take on the responsibility of being CEO of YURAN Enterprise. That day Lee Yu Jin went on with a hole in his heart.

The sound of the car's engine pulled Sakura back from the memory of the past. Sakura could only look at Yu Jin who drove in the serpentine city that never sleeps.

Chapter 10

06:00 PM

"Honey, I'm home!"

"Daddy’s hooommeee!" Two twin boys ran to embrace Dr. Ren followed by a beautiful woman with short brown haircut, the woman hugged him and landed a small kiss on his lips, "Welcome, honey!"

"I'm home, Diana!" Dr. Ren smiled, looking at his wife lovingly

Lilly smiled happily at the scene. She is happy to see her family so harmoniously.

"Ahem... ahem!" Lilly cleared her throat. "Can I have a glass of cold water, it's so hot!"

“Auuntyy Lillyyy!!” the twins' faces cheered up at Lilly. They both splattered into Lilly's arms. "We miss you, Aunty!"

"I miss you too!" Lilly kissed the boys one by one "Gosh, you guys getting bigger now!"

"Welcome Lilly! Glad to see you again..."

Lilly stood up and hugged her sister-in-law, "Thank you Sist! I'm also glad to meet you..."

"You're getting beautiful..." said Diana

"But I can not match your beauty, Sist! Hehehe..." Lilly was embarrassed.

"Lilly, come here for a minute! I have something for you!" Dr. Ren’s voice was heard from the second floor.

Diana patted her shoulder slowly, "Go! Ren definitely can not wait to show the souvenirs he brought from Korea for you!"

YURAN Enterprise Head Quarter

06:15 PM

Lee Yu Jin stared intently toward a male staff who was presenting the meeting material. The brown-skinned woman looks occasionally whispering to him while showing some documents.

"OK! I agree to the concept of the fall collection, we call it 'Flower Rain Collection'..." Yu Jin is so enthusiastic. "I like the concept, the falling flowers, like the rain of flowers."

"I agree!" The woman beside him commented, "It fits perfectly with our latest product, 'Sunny in Rainy Day'. If we can combine these two concepts in a launch event then I'm sure this cooperation will be successful..."

"Yes, what Director Miyamoto said is true! As a Production and Marketing Manager I'm sure of the results we will achieve!" A middle-aged woman motioned to one of the staff as she moved from her seat. "Our latest product is a powder, Lipstick and Mascara that are resistant to liquids such as water and sweat. Modern women who work as office employees or who work face to face with customers must be very maintaining their appearance and makeup. This product lasts for 13 hours, it will definitely be targeted by the modern women..." she continued as she showed the products referred to earlier..

"OK! We combine these two concepts. The models will run on the catwalk wearing 'Flower Rain Collection' and then for makeup the models will wear the 'Sunny In Rainy Day' product from Le Beauty. That way we can collaborate between clothes and cosmetics, so that customers will not only be interested in the clothes but they also will buy cosmetics that look good with a mix of clothes!" Yu Jin look vibrant while conveying his ideas. "I think 'Beauty Under The Sunny Rain' is a suitable name for our event this time. What do you think?"

"Great idea…!"

"I totally agree ..."

"President, I'm sure our products will sell in the market!"

"As always the idea of the president is always brilliant ..."

The woman beside Yu Jin smiled with satisfaction at the response of the directors who agreed with the outcome of this meeting. She looked at Yu Jin with an affectionate and proud look.

"Sakura!" Yu Jin summoned the woman sitting next to him. "There's something I want to talk about! Come to my room ... "

Sakura Miyamoto, the sole daughter of Le Beauty Cosmetics Company. Served as one of the Directors in her father's company. Born in a harsh environment with intrigue and business competition, as well as the pressures and obligations as heirs make Sakura forced to compete with Yu Jin in academic and skill issues. She attended Saint Theresia High School, although she was two years older than Yu Jin but Sakura respected and idolized Yu Jin. The friendship and business relationships between their parents make them accept matchmaking arranged by their parents. Sakura loves Yu Jin since she was 10 years old, she accepted the match with joy, but Yu Jin's attitude towards Sakura is like treating as family member. It makes Sakura more persistent pursuing Yu Jin.

"Sit down!" Yu Jin threw himself on the couch as he loosened his tie.

Sakura takes place right in front of Yu Jin who looks tired, "Thank you, Fuji-san!" Sakura smiling as Fuji-san pours a cup of tea

"Is the preparation of the Le Beauty is steady? What about the Model? "

"Yes ... I have contacted the production department. They promise that Sunny In Rainy Day products will be ready the day before the show..." Sakura explained in detail. “As for the models I think using Rainbow’s models is a best choise…”

"OK! For production and preparation I leave it to you. Then for the Model that will appear later is Anna Tan and Antoinette!” Yu Jin frowned at the profile of Jennifer McQueen. "Fuji-san, why did this girl change her name to Antoinette? Wasn’t she auditioning on Jennifer McQueen's name? "

"Aah! About that, it seems like she wants to give a strong impression through her name!"

"Hahaha!" Sakura laughed as she heard Fuji-san's answer. "It's not an ordinary name for Antoinette. But won't it be difficult to increase her popularity? Because usually the performance on stage is attached with the name used!"

"I don't mind as long as she follow the term on the contract..."

Once again, Yu Jin frowned "I like the design but somehow while looking at this design I feel like there is a mismatch between the designer image and her design..." Yu Jin muttered as he looked at Jennifer's profile and the designs that were in front of him.

Yu Jin moved from the couch to his desk. He opened a small drawer under the desk to pick up something when...

"Ouch!" Yu Jin winces, his finger hurt. Looks like he was scratched with a cutter knife in a drawer.

"What's wrong?" Sakura asked curiously as she approached Yu Jin, "Gosh! Yu Jin, are you all right!? Fuji-san give me the First Aid box..."

Yu Jin looks at Sakura with a look of annoyance, "This is not the first time I've been hurt, have I...!? Besides I don't need medicine. You know that, right!?"

Sakura immediately realized when she saw the wound on Yu Jin's fingers that slowly heal by itself.

Who is Yu Jin?

Why the wound can heal quickly?

Chapter 9

Kriiieett... health room door open. Doctor Ren came in carrying some important documents.

"Doctor!"

"Oh my God!" Dr. Ren was surprised, the document he had been holding now scattered on the floor. "Yu Jin! Are you deliberately trying to get me a heart attack?? What are you doing here?"

The "nobody" guy or the one called Yu Jin by Dr. Ren, grinned as he crouched picking up  the papers scattered on the floor.

"Sorry! Sorry! I did not mean to surprise you, Ren... "

"Doctor!" Dr. Ren's voice was firm. "At least you should show your respect. Although we are friends but I am a doctor at this school, and you are my disciple... "

"Look who's talking?" Yu Jin grinned. "Fortunately, I don’t report you harrasing one of your student!!"

"What ??" Dr. Ren's eyes widened, "You're not...!" His finger pointed to the room next to Lilly's bed.

"Yup!" Yu Jin nodded. "The scene was so touching!"

"Shit...!!" Dr. Ren's face looked flushed with embarrassment. "Of all the students why even you??"

"Pfftt... hahaha!" Yu Jin chuckled, holding his stomach. "If anyone else had seen the incident, you were already in the principal's room, and that girl must be being lectured by the Guidance and Counselor teacher..."

Dr. Ren sighs, what Yu Jin says is true. He feels this time he has been careless. A month ago he was in Korea, attending an International Doctors Association conference on tuberculosis so he had to take time off from school. He was so excited when he met Lilly that he didn’t realize he was hugging her as he always did.

"By the way what have you been doing?"

"Of course continue my sleep time which is disturbed because of you two!" Yu Jin hands over the paper he collects to Dr. Ren. "I go first! See you later Oh my dear Ren…" Yu Jin teases Dr. Ren by imitating his voice as he embraced Lilly

“Damn! I know you won't let go of me so easily!?” Dr. Ren shook his head while smirks.

"Ooh! Right, I just remembered..." Yu Jin stops and turns. "The girl told me to tell you not to disturb her sleep!"

Dr. Ren looked at the room where Lilly lay. He was about to check on Lilly if Yu Jin didn’t stop him. "All right! Thank you, Yu Jin..."

Yu Jin waved without turning and leaving the health room. He walked through the corridor to the Student Council room

Ttrrrrtttt ... Tttrrrtttt ....

Yu Jin pulls out his cell phone and looks at the caller's name. Fuji-san's name is listed there

"What is wrong?" Yu Jin answers the phone as he continues walking down the corridor.

"Young Master, Miss Miyamoto has just arrived..."

"I'll be right out!" Yu Jin turns toward the school gate. He canceled a plan to go to the student council room

"Look! That's the Chariman of The Student Counsil..."

"Hey, isn’t that Lee Yu Jin?"

“Ooh! Yu Jin is back…”

“Oh my god, he is so handsome…”

“He is so cool…”

The students got excited at seeing Yu Jin walking through the corridor. He waved at the students who greeted him. The busyness of Yu Jin as a student, Chairman of Student Counsil as well as a CEO of YURAN Enterprise made him rarely present in class. Even so he is the number one student in school.

Lee Yu Jin, born in early autumn, his parents died from plane crash when he was 16 years old. He and his sister, Lee Huan Ran live with his mother's sister, Miss Alicia Chen. She is the closest relative to Yu Jin and Huan Ran, that is why in their parents' will, she is appointed as the legal guardian. The departure of the parents who so suddenly makes Yu Jin had to take responsibility as an heir for the sake of keeping the legacy of their parents. Although still very young but thanks to the intelligence and talent that he has, YURAN Enterprise is now stable again even the company's revenue increased 20% since Yu Jin served as CEO to replace his father.

Tick... tack... Tick... tack...

Yu Jin's fingers were dancing on his cell phone keyboard. He sent a short message to the Secretary of the student council

Sorry! I have a meeting this afternoon.

You may also leave early.

Thank you for your hard work.

Lee Yu Jin

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Dinnggg… Doonnggg…. Dingg….

Lilly's eyes opened, "Aah... it's time to go..." Lilly woke up and straightened her clothes. Suddenly Lilly remembered the student in the next room. He pulled aside the curtain dividers.

"No one here... Is he back?"

"Are you awake?" Dr. Ren smiled, "Have you felt better?"

"Yes! Thank you Doctor..." Lilly walked over to Dr. Ren, "Um...!!"

Dr. Ren smiled and patted Lilly's head, "Take it easy! I will not say anything to your parents..."

Lilly smiled broadly, "Thank you, brother!"

Dr. Ren and Lilly leave the Health Room, they walk toward the school gate. Lilly turned to look at the health room. She was still curious about the students she was with.

"Cry! Let's just say I'm not here..." Lilly remembered the guy's words. Lilly remembered his soft voice.

"By the way, you come back to my house!" Dr. Ren’s words broke Lilly's thoughts.

"Why?" Lilly was confused.

Doctor Ren chuckled, "I'm sure you don’t want anyone at home to see your pandas eyes, right!?"

"Huh?" Lilly was shocked, she immediately took out a small mirror from her bag. "Ooh no! It must be because I cried…"

"What?"

"Ah! Nothing!" Lilly immediately set her bangs on purpose so that her swollen eyes were somewhat closed. "I'll stop by to see Daniel and Donny!"

"Ha ha ha! They'll be glad to see you ... "

"Brother! The man I was with in the health room. Do you know who he is? Has he gone home?" Lilly asked curiously.

"Oh, you mean Yu Jin?" Dr. Ren looked at Lilly. "Yes, he's been gone. He told me that you leave a message not to disturb your sleep..."

“I leave a message to him? Is he trying to...?” Lilly's face flushed.

"Then who is she?" Lilly wondered.

"Huh? You did not know? He's the Chairman of Student Council…"

Lilly's step stalled, "Cha... Chairman of Student Council? You mean Lee Yu Jin?"

"That's right!" Dr. Ren grinned as he walked toward the parking lot.

"Whoa! This is unbelievable!" Lilly still shaking his head in disbelief.

Chapter 8

Knock... knock...

"Please come in!"

Lilly opened the door and stepped into the health room, "Hello doctor..." Lilly greet a handsome doctor who was sitting enjoying the tea.

"Aah, it's Lilly!" The doctor's face was more handsome with a smile on his face. He put down the tea cup he was holding and walked quickly toward Lilly. He hugged the girl tightly. "Oh, My dear Lilly, I miss you so much!"

"Ren, if anyone sees us, you must have been reported on the basis of sexual harassment of students!" Lilly pushed the doctor with a flat expression.

"Hahaha...!" The doctor laughed, "You're really cold to your cousin!"

"Even if you're my cousin, we're still in the school!" Lilly walked to the right corner bed, close to the window. From the window she could see clearly towards the basketball court.

"Yeah... yeah, sorry! I'm too happy to see you that I forget the place where we are..." The doctor approached Lilly and leaned against the window.

"How are you?" Asked Dr. Ren, "you don’t usually come here. What’s wrong?"

"I'm good...!" Lilly answered casually. "I want to rest here for a while."

"........." Dr. Ren watched Lilly expression, "Of course!"

"Thank you..." Lilly pulled back the covers and closed her eyes.

"Lilly...!" Dr. Ren sat beside the bed, "What happened?"

".............!" Lilly did not answer.

"You can tell me anything. You know that, right?" Dr. Ren watched Lilly who remained silent doesn’t budge. "Okay, I will not insist if you don’t want to tell…! Just rest here, I'll call your homeroom teacher!"

Dr. Ren leaves the room wondering what happened to Lilly during his leave. Lilly is not usually like that. Since they were small Lilly was closest to him. Ren smiled at the little Lilly, who was tomboy and cheerful, who always followed him wherever he went. Like a chick who always follows her mother. Whatever it was Lilly always comes to him to confide in and seek advice. Even until they were grown up, Lilly was still spoiled. Either since when Lilly attitude changed, she seemed to withdraw. They used to be so close but since Lilly got into high school she was like keeping a distance from Ren. He wondered if maybe Lilly had changed because she was aware of a change in her that was no longer a child? Can you say the anxiety of a girl?

"Aah... My Lilly is a teenager now!" Dr. Ren muttered, there was an anxious smile on his face.

Meanwhile, in Health Room --------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm sorry, brother!" Lilly muttered quietly. "Not that I don’t want to share with you. But it's time I learn to be independent. I can’t keep depending on you whenever I have a problem! I have to face it alone this time…"

Lilly straightened and stared straight up at the ceiling.

"Hhhhh..." Lilly sighed sadly. "It feels like my chest is so cramped that I'm hard to breathe. Just imagining it I feel like crying! "

"Cry…!"

"What!!?" Lilly was startled, the voice coming from the next room.

Lilly did not expect anyone to be there. Moreover, Ren did not tell her that she is not the only one who needs rest. Without a doubt Lilly pushed aside the white curtain that separated their room. Lilly saw a male student lying there with his back to her.

"Who are you?" Ask Lilly,

"Hhmm... Nobody!" The student replied without turning around. "What makes you sad?" He asked.

"You are Nobody! So I'm not going to say anything ... "Lilly's a bit annoyed, she pulls back the curtain she just opened until it's closed again. Lilly lay facing the window.

"Cry if you want to...!" Nobody's voice was heavy but soft, the masculine impression felt every time he spoke. "Let's just say I'm not here ..."

Lilly paused. "I'd be crazy to talk to myself..." Lilly murmured. Her eyes began to tear.

Lilly covered her mouth to keep her sobbing sound unheard. Her chest was tight, there was a pain in her heart. She was reminded of all the events she had experienced. The unfairness she had experienced since Jennifer stole her design, to the annoyance she felt when she couldn’t prove Jennifer's cheating. Her heart was so devastated when her past memories showed her closeness to Jennifer. When they were still friends, when they still laugh together.

The time before Jennifer betrayed her, before Jennifer left her locked up alone in the gymnasium, before Jennifer spread the rumor that she seduced a senior so she was shunned by friends in the class, before Jennifer doused her in the toilet, before Jennifer's mischief nearly blinded her left eye, and before Jennifer blackmailed her for 7 month in 6th grade.

“Hiks... ungh... hiks...” this time Lilly clamped her mouth more tightly, she felt her tears would break if she didn’t do that.

An increasingly frustrating reality is the fact that a few moments ago she acted like Jennifer when she was bullying another student. She cornered Jennifer, the anger she felt made her lose control for a moment. She doesn’t use violence but what she just did was playing with Jennifer’s fears and emotions. Seems more sneaky. She's sorry, she felt so mean. Lilly's mind raged, her feelings mixed up. She was really scared, she realized the dark side of herself. Tears welled up unstoppably. “Uuggh… hiks…” Lilly hit her chest, hoping that the tightness she felt was diminishing. Hoping the pain that tortured her stopped.

"It's been 30 minutes but she has not stopped yet. What happened to her? I'm so curious! Her cry sounds so sad..." the Nobody muttered to himself. "I've never felt this kind of pain just because of someone's crying...!"

The time passed as the loss of Lilly's crying sound slowly. Lilly was asleep, occasionally still sobbing in her sleep.

"Even in your sleep you cry!" The Nobody whispered as she wiped the tears that came out of Lilly's eyelids. "What really happened to you?"

The nobody looked at Lilly asleep. Starting from his long dark hair, his eyelashes are moist and wet. "When you wake up, make sure you look in the mirror before you leave!" He chuckled softly. "You'd be surprised to find a panda there..."

Nobody’s eyes stop on Lilly’s swollen lips, "You even bit your lips up like this! Is it really painful?" He touched her lips softly.

Kriiieett ... health room door open....................

Who's entering the health room?
