First of all let me just thank you guys for the love and support and for not leaving me even when Produce 101 S2 was over. It meant a lot since I was so depressed, and you guys were there to join me at my misery. Because of you I can look forward to another day and write chapters.

Today we reached #504 in Fanfiction and it's all thanks to you. So thank you very much and I love you guys.

...

"Are they going to come back?" Daehwi asked while they're already having lunch. They might be lost right now, they're not from here.

"Jinyoung left his cell, Youngmin doesn't have one actually." Daniel waved Jinyoung's phone.

"Should we report them missing or something?" Somi asked, catching Samuel's attention.

"Nahh, we won't be entertained unless they're 24 hours missing. That's what I watched on TV." Daniel grimaced.

he looks innocent and definitely not harmful. But something's telling Somi that Samuel is right about him. He's his cousin after all.

"I know Youngmin, he can just borrow someone else's phone and ask the address." Seongwoo nodded, satisfied with how he knew his cousin.

Finally the doorbell rang and here comes Youngmin and Jinyoung with their heads down. They look ashamed of themselves. Just when everybody assumed it that way, here comes Wooshin following them inside, greeting.

"Good afternoon everyone." he greeted. Behind him are the whole gang.

Samuel sighed in frustration, hiding Somi inside the room once again. "Don't come out until I say so." he said before facing Jinyoung and Youngmin.

"What the hell happened?" he asked. Youngmin pushed Jinyoung to explain as if they're siblings that are partners in crime, and the other one was the mastermind.

"We were lost and Wooshin knew Somi's address here." Jinyoung answered.

"And you needed them to walk you home?" Samuel gestured at Wooshin's crew as if they weren't there to get insulted by his words.

"We at least want to offer them water." Jinyoung said shaking with Samuel's rudeness.

"I understand." Samuel said taking bottled water from the fridge, distributing it to them one by one, and when it's Wooshin's turn.

"Is Somi here?" he asked.

"My girlfriend isn't feeling well." Samuel emphasized the word 'my', hoping Wooshin might back off.

"Can I see her? This is your fault, you're not taking care of her." Wooshin accused. Though Samuel knew that it wasn't really true, he was hurt.

Maybe because deep inside he knew that he hasn't been taking care of her.

This thing in front of him was some kind of distraction to their plans. If he shows up like this everytime, everything would be distracting and confusing. Sam needed to get rid of him.

"Somi's sick! I better check up on her." Daehwi interrupted them. Samuel nodded, not because he wanted Daehwi to check up on Somi. It's because he saw the confusion on Wooshin's eyes.

"Who's that?" He asked.

Even Samuel, he doesn't know why Daehwi was so concerned with Somi. One thing's for sure, there's a lot people to compete with when it comes to her.

"Let me pass Samuel. If there's someone here who knows Somi better it's me." Wooshin shoved him away, entering the room where Somi's sitting on the bed, giggling with Daehwi, leaving him so confused.

She looked pretty damn well as usual. She's not pale or weak looking.

Samuel followed him, spinning him to look into his eyes, then glanced at Somi. "He won't get it unless it's from you. If you want him, I'll leave you guys alone quietly. Do you want him to stay?" Samuel asked.

The giggling stopped. Daehwi even pressed his lips on a thin line.

Somi stood up shifting her gaze back and fourth from Wooshin to Samuel. "I don't want you to leave, but can he stay for a while? He's a friend of mine Samuel. Even if we're dating, I'm allowed to have friends right?" she tried to argue with him.

Samuel licked his lips smiling in a disbelief. "Friend who likes you. I am not comfortable with that though." he said casually. Wooshin wanted to argue but he knew deep down that he doesn want more than friendship.

"Sam." Somi moved closer.

"I'm not going to let my potential replacement hanging around you. Because when shit happens, I can't say you guys betrayed me when I confirmed to fucking install the cheap wire that caused the short circuit." Samuel said stepping close to her.

Somi knew that Samuel could easily drag and control her, and with Wooshin, she might go back to the way she was before.

But then she was reminded of something.

(Flashback)

"I didn't do it Sohye. Trust me. Have I ever betrayed you once?" she Somi asked with tears on her eyes.

"Nope, this would be the first, and I'll make sure it won't happen again." Sohye said before pushing Somi on Pinky's pool.

"Wonwoo! Tell her the truth, please." she still tried to claim her innocence but Wonwoo averted his gaze away from her.

"Pinky, please. You know the truth. It was you who showed me the room. Tell her that it was only me who entered, and nobody else. You even waited outside. You know how quick I was." she grabbed pinky's foot but she pulled it away mercilessly.

"Yoojung. We're always together. I'm not secretly seeing Wonwoo, right?" she smiled because this friend was just like her. Being dragged because she feared Sohye. She can understand her more than anyone else.

"I'm not sure." she responded.

"What?" Somi stood up, pulling Yoojung to face her.

"I don't know for sure Somi. Please let me stay out of this. This is all you." she said pushing her. "You got my clothes wet. Eeew." she said moving away from her with disgusted face.

"But you know the answer to that? What are you talking about that you don't know?" Somi whispered.

Three days after the incident, she's being harassed via text message. Awful things that you can never imagine you would receive in your entire life.

Scratch your vagina on a rough road, itchy bitch.

How many guys do you want? We have six dogs.

If you want you can be a prostitute at this place I know. Slut.

Why don't you just sell yourself? I hope you get kidnapped, f*cked and killed.

Wanna do it? I'll wait for you behind school.

Everybody was anonymous, though she wanted to report it, she doesn't want anybody to read those. By just reading it you can assume she did something big.

Sometimes she would question herself if she's hanging out with the wrong people. But she knew it all along, she just endured it until now.

At least nobody would go near her and try to touch her, but you can't be too sure about that. It's why she chose to have a quiet life in Yongin.

(End of Flashback)

Somi looked Sam in the eye, and then Wooshin. He's still the same old sweet childhood friend that she had. Not planning a revenge, doesn't care if she was bullied and just wanted to hang with her, help her forget Seoul.

Let him keep his innocence. She told herself, grabbing Samuel's hand.

The same guy who went through where she's going through right now. The guy who knows how she felt right now.

"Wooshin is just a friend. It's you who I want to be with. Turn the world upside down, let time pass, erase my memory, he'll still be my best friend and I won't look at him that way." she said not only putting Wooshin on the friend zone but breaking his heart entirely.

"I understand." Wooshin excused himself, but this is not where he'll give up.

After this vacation, his surely going to have her. He already enrolled at Top Media Academy. When school starts, he'll be there for Somi and will make her forget about Samuel.

He and his friends left, but this is only the start.

"Sam! You're mean." Jihoon pointed out as Samuel wiggled his brows and winked. At least he thought he did. Samuel can't really wink, because whenever he does, both of his eyes close.

He just thought he's badass but the truth is, he looks like a 3 year-old that's starting to discover what a wink is.

Jihoon rolled his eyes, because he knew he can wink better than Samuel.

😂

"You know what! Going back to Yongin would be awkward because we'll see Wooshin after Sam being a dick. How about we go back to Busan and maybe get Daehwi away from here." Daniel suggested.

Nobody listen to him. They all just continue what they're doing. "Seoul is so polluted." he mocked but they're still busy.

"The house is all ours. My parents are all at the hospital and Dongho is there, locked up at the hospital." he cheered with his really contagious smile.

"You made him sound like a patient at some mental institution." Hyeop said with gritted teeth.

"He should be." Daniel raised a brow.

"Somi, all your boyfriend's cousin's are good looking." Daehwi whispered.

"Well you haven't seen One yet!" Samuel interrupted their supposed to be 'secret-conversation'. Both Somi and Daehwi had their eyes widen in horror. But Sam was chill about it.

"I don't want to go back to Busan, they all sound like Daniel. It's like I'm surrounded with Kang Daniel. I feel suffocated. It's like you're just waiting for a disaster to occur." Seongwoo complained.

"Since Samuel already mentioned Jaewon hyung. Let's go pay him a visit." He suggested.

"But Jaewon hyung hates me." Daniel said.

"Jaewon Hyung only hates naughty kids. The last time we were with him, he told you not to open the action figures that he collects. And what you did was the exact opposite." Seongwoo released a frustrated laugh.

"They're toys." Daniel argued.

"They're collectibles." Samuel defended, feeling sorry that his Jaewon hyung had his collection scratched.

"I wear my collectibles." Daniel showed the time turner necklace once again.

"Not everybody's having fun to watch things get destroyed." Seongwoo said and Daniel smiled.

No, not his sweet smile. There's something different about this smile, but Somi couldn't tell what's wrong.

"Really? Because the last time I checked, the rest of you were watching along with me." he hissed before covering his ears, singing Hard Carry by GOT7.

Seongwoo glanced at Samuel, and then Somi before he forced a smile. "All is good." he muttered.

"Yes good." Samuel responded.

"By the way, School is coming. We need to buy our uniform. And Jihoon, we'd appreciate it if you dress up according to your gender." Seongwoo stared at his pink shirt in disgust.

He frowned, turning towards the full body mirror to see his reflection. It looked good to him. "What's there to change?" he asked.

"Can't you wear dark colors for once?" Seongwoo asked.

"I don't want to wear dead colors. Why dress up if you're not going to wear real colors?" he argued, defending his pink shirt.

"How about denim?" Youngmin asked.

"You all wear denim. I don't want to be eaten by trends." Jihoon insulted.

"You're cool." Daehwi complimented. "I think he has his own style. Why change it?"
"Fine fine! We'll just get the uniforms." Seongwoo finally let it go. "Can someone please shut him up before I push him out of the window?" Seongwoo pointed at Daniel who keeps on singing loudly.

"Sure." Youngmin said before pushing him into the couch. Daniel hissed, finally daring to fight back Youngmin, by throwing him cushions.

They even forgot that this isn't their house.

Somi had her jaws dropped in disbelief.

"Tell them to stop!" Samuel told Seongwoo in panic.

"You can't just tell them to stop! Daniel would do the opposite." Seongwoo said!

Hyeop took a book, hitting them both on the head. "More! Hit each other harder! Go ahead and kill each other." he yelled.

The two instantly stopped, bowing their heads. Cool. Hyeop thought. So there's a way to stop wild animals.

"Do you have something to tell Somi?" he Seongwoo asked.

Both of them are still silent. Nobody could guess if it's the reverse psychology or Hyeop hit them on the head really hard.

"I'll repeat the question. Do you have anything to tell Somi! Anything at all?" Seongwoo repeated.

"Actually." Daniel raised his hand. "Can I get a glass of water? I suddenly feel thirsty " he grinned, making Youngmin roll his eyes and hit Daniel on the head again.

Daehwi moved closer to Somi again to whisper, "They might be good looking, but they're.."

"Dumb?" Samuel asked.

"I was going to say brutal actually." Daehwi clarified.

"Daniel's sorry. He might not say it but he is." Youngmin said.

"Just me? How about you? It was you who started it!" Daniel accused Youngmin.

"I was just trying to stop your 'out-of-tune-singing'." Youngmin defended.

"Out of tune? I wasn't even singing." Daniel defended. "I was just trying to annoy Seongwoo." he said informally, making everybody flinch.

But Songwoo was calm. He's not affected by it at all. Inside his head, 'He's the evil genius. We need him.' he keep on telling himself.

"By the way, we need to buy the uniforms. You don't have to come Daniel." Seongwoo said, making Daniel feel like he's not needed.

Because of that, he's feeling rebellious that he wanted to come. Mission accomplished for Seongwoo. The truth is, Daniel needed to come because the uniform has to fit. It won't be too long till school starts.

Hey all went together to get individual uniforms. And because school is starting, other students are also there.

"Yo, Somi. Who's with you?" Seonho-Captain of the basketball team greeted. In such a young age, he's already the captain of the basketball team. Not only that, he's also a piano prodigy. The president if student council and class president. Multi-talented and intelligent.

"Samuel and his cousins." She answered, gesturing at Samuel beside her. He already picked a uniform that's perfect for him.

He stared at Seonho up and down but he doesn't remember this guy. Seonho doesn't know him either. Seonho was a transfer student last year. Nobody knows why he transferred here either. He's a mysterious guy.

"I'm here to escort a transfer student. Lai Guanlin. He's from Taipei." Seonho pulled this taller guy behind him.

He's handsome.

"Good evening. I'm Lai Guanlin." he introduced, and then smiled when he saw Daehwi. "How have you been?" he asked before hugging him.

"I'm all good. You transferred to Seoul High?" he asked. "Why not on Brand New Academy?"

"Apparently speaking English is legal in Seoul High." Guanlin replied.

"Well, I can't argue to that." Daehwi responded.

"I'm confused, it's like Daehwi is friends with everyone." Samuel said, recalling how Youngmin was even his friend. Then Somi, and now this guy from Taipei.

"Are you transferring, Lee Daehwi?" Seonho asked.

"Nope. Just here with my friend." he gestured at Somi. "And Samuel's cousins." he gestured at the guys who are tackling this pink haired guy.

"I just wanna hold the cat." he said, hugging the owner's cat.

"You can't if you're wearing the uniform. The fur will be all over it." Seongwoo said.

Samuel rolled his eyes when they forgot about the reverse psychology again.

"Hug the cat tightly and don't let it go." Samuel said, and finally, Daniel placed it back to its bed.

Both Seonho and Guanlin were confused. Why did that Daniel guy did the opposite?

It's something that only these people will only understand for now.

"That reverse psychology thing really come in handy." Hyeop said wiping his sweat.

"So, Somi. Is Samuel a cousin from Canada?" Seonho asked.

Both Somi and Samuel had their eyes meet before smiling at Seonho who's really innocent. "I'm half Mexican actually. Holla, soy Samuel Kim Arredondo. Kim Samuel in Korean." he shook both Seonho and Guanlin.

"He's my boyfriend." Somi introduced.

"Oh." Seonho clapped his hands once when he realized. "So, did everybody stop harassing you?" Seonho asked.

"We'll, I haven't heard from them lately, maybe they're tired." Somi answered.

"Good. At least you have your boyfriend now." Seonho said hugging Samuel before leading Guanlin towards the fitting room.

Samuel was so surprised at how touchy Seonho was. At first he seem like a snob with those eyes, but he's actually not.

"Don't be shocked, Seonho loves hugs. And if already hugged you, you're already considered a close friend to him." Somi told Samuel who still looks traumatized.

Daehwi nodded his head in agreement.

Samuel frowned. Not because of Seonho but Daehwi who's friends with everybody. One more person to enter that door that he know, Samuel will assume that Daehwi wasn't the problem on their home but his father. The kid is friendly and nice, or else, who would be his friend.

This kid with really small eyes and big nose came in with a smile on his face. And nope, he didn't know Daehwi. He walked past him, Daehwi didn't glance at him too.

"Kang Daniel! Are you lost!" he said in his heavy Busan accent. This guy knows Daniel for sure.

Daniel tried to keep his composure, but then jumped at the guy. "Taewoong!!! How did you find me stalker?" Daniel joked.

"Cool, they both sound alike. Now I feel like we're back in Busan." Seongwoo said, then saw Hyeop and Youngmin staring at him.

Right! A lot of his cousins are from Busan. Except Hyeop sometimes speak in Seoul accent.

"Saw you from the outside and I wanted to make sure it's you." Taewoong told Daniel.

"Wow! Daniel, you have a friend." Jinyoung started patting his back. Feeling proud that he managed to make friends.

"Friends? No way." Taewoong backed away. "This guy got me transferred. Because of his smoking rumor. I'm not sure how he can escape his house with his ankle GPS. My mother was afraid he's a bad influence. All of us are transferred here, without him. Life has been boring, it's all your fault Kang Daniel." Taewoong said in a joking manner.

"Smoking incident?" Somi raised a brow.

"I'll let Daniel tell that one story. Besides, the two of you seem close." Samuel told her. She didn't even ask him about it. And Daniel doesn't seem like the guy who would open up.

He just smiles and he thinks that's how to escape everything. His smile holds a lot of stories, but he wouldn't dare to say anything about it.

"Let's catch up outside." Daniel said, before scanning the bar code on the uniform he's wearing, without the cashier's consent, making Taewoong smile happily to reunite with his friend.

Then he slapped Seongwoo's company card on the table. Seongwoo couldn't believe that he's been pick-pocketed without him knowing.

And it was indeed his company card. "Use your allowance Kang Daniel!" he scolded.

Daniel only poked his tongue out before escaping with
