[ Chapter 11: What’s in the box? ]
The five girls walked back to the classroom again. They couldn’t help but look at that guy.
[Jin Park is Gone]
Jin is missing and nowhere to be found. He is not in his seat anymore. The five girls didn’t know but they guessed something.
: Does it hurt?
They muttered. It was just a dog but it has life and freedom to live also. Animals has place in this world too.
They sat at their seats while waiting for the next subject.
2 hours later.
[The class ended]
Leah who kept muttering didn’t know what to do. Jin Park did not come back.
: I hope he did not mark his heart with hate. I hope he will not condemn me. I hope he will forgive me. I hope his dog did not die.
[She was hoping]
Leah who is in the classroom waited for him to come back but he did not.
: Ting! Ting!! Ting!!!
The bell rang.
: The morning class ended without him.
Leah said. She looked at her friends doing nothing.
Then their professor walked out.
: What a day!
Leah said while gasping for some air. She looked very tired.
: I hope this will end soon.
Leah thought and decided to not think about it. She laid her head on her desk.
: Leah!
Nami called her.
: Yes?
Leah asked. She looked at Nami and rests her head back.
: W-we’re having lunch now!
Nami said to her.
: Ah!
Leah was startled by her sudden call. She forgot that it was their lunchtime. She really doesn’t know.
[It was already noon]
Leah stood up and walked away together with Nami. Of course, Gu, Ji and Ole followed them after they finished arranging themselves.
[They’re just different]
Leah and Nami didn’t care about beautifying themselves. Gu, Ole and Ji love to put something on their faces. Gu wore a simple vibe; neat and clean.
However, Ole wore a blush on on her cheeks, a cheerful vibe; playful and shyness.
While Ji is the most conservative among the girls, she is different in terms of make-up. She took her time from make upping and lately followed the girls. She clearly understood the basics of manly desires.
They made themselves better but not for a man. They are doing this for themselves.
[They are changing]
When the students emptied the room, a man ran inside. It was he who wore a sober face.
[Jin Park]
Then Jin sat at his old seat. He looked at the window first.
: Is it lunchtime?
Jin asked himself. Then he opened his bag and took out something and put it on his desk. It was his meal, his white lunch box.
It had a picture of his dog with a name on it.
[Sherry]
Jin looked at his meal as he missed his dog. He opened his meal and took some brown sticks.
[Chopstick]
[A pair of thin sticks, it is used to lift food by placing or held between your big thumb and fingers; chopstick is usually used in Asian countries. It is mainly used by Chinese, Japanese and Korean people or, some Asians who love using chopsticks.]
Jin flipped the chopstick in half. He ate it with a sad face.
: Munch
: Munch
Jin ate as the time ticks, alone.
[In the Cafeteria]
In a circular table, five girls sat with different smiles. Nami among them was the brightest. She took her lunch box first. It was not a violet box, because her lunch box is blue. Her meal is very plain, rice and nothing else.
: Hehe.
Nami awkwardly smiled. Despite her personality, she always wore her shamelessness.
[It was meant to survive]
Nami’s actions were a bit inappropriate but she really doesn’t have anything. She lives without anything except her friends. She lives as an orphan and was brought to any person. She was passed and passed to different families until she ran away.
Nami looked at them with pleading eyes.
Leah who saw this was ashamed. She wanted to help her so much but her attitude is a mess. She only liked her hair and eyes. Yet to Leah it wasn’t all about her attitude and appearance. She hates to say it but Leah treats her as a friend long ago.
[Even she is hateful]
Then Leah looked at Ole, Gu and Ji. Her friends knew what she meant!
[Give me some food]
They thought as they couldn’t help it. Nami is poor so they knew it; she wants money over friendship.
The four girls can only lament about this part. They had no dispute in terms of standings in life.
[They respected each other]
However, Leah, Ole and Gu looked to another person. It was Ji. They stared at her with a serious face. Ji didn't have anything also. Ji didn't bring anything. She's worse than Nami.
[As always]
: I brought some rice but you did not bring anything Ji!
Nami said to her. It was fierce and straight.
: You!
Ji looked at her with fiery eyes. These two always fight even in food.
: Stop it guys!
Gu stopped the two.
: Humph!
Both of the girls lifted their head back.
Then Ole looked at them with a smile.
: Just wait.
Ole said as she stood up. She took a box in layers under the table. It was a bento box!
[Bento]
[Bento or bento box is a Japanese term for mix food. In short, stuffed with different varieties of food in a single meal. Bento box is usually common in Japan, Taiwan and Korea. ]
Ole mother is Japanese. She is half Korean and half Japanese. So her food was made to be Bento. However, Korean used bento box also.
: Hehe.
Both Nami and Ji smiled.
: Crazy!
Gu thought. She opened her lunch box too. It was a yellow box. When she opened it the four girls wore surprised faces! It was the piece thing again!
[As always]
: Gu’s meal is killing us!
Leah and the rest thought.
Gu straightly knew eating-proper diet. She was taught by her parents to eat good foods properly. Her lunchbox contains some piece of meat and rice. That added some little vegetables.
[As always]
Both Ji and Nami didn’t like Gu meals. It wasn’t that tasty and looked very normal. Her vegetables were always raw.
[Raw food]
[Raw food or simply uncooked fresh food. For instance, raw vegetables, meat, or any kinds of raw as long as they can be eaten. It was cultivated by the farmers or agriculturists. Usually, Asian people ate raw food, some of them were Chinese, Japanese and Korean people, and some of them can be found in Asian countries and other parts of the world.]
Gu looked at them with a happy face.
: The food we intake must be balanced.
Gu as always told them. They must take good care of their body so they won't get fat or scrawny.
Leah who saw this all wore an indifferent face. She was embarrassed by their meal and so on. She took her lunch box too. Her box is violet. There are no other surprises other than her box.
[It was a big box]
The two smiled also. Nami and Ji can’t wait to see her meal. It was the food which Anna made. One of the best foods they expect to have.
: Can you give me some?
Both Nami and Ji said to her. However Ole oozed with jealousy. She wanted some of her food too.
: Uh, of course.
Leah said with a smile. Then they started to eat their meal together.

When they reached the classroom, Leah who found someone felt relieved.[He is back]Then Leah walked in. She sat at her seat and looked at the guy. Jin was asleep. She really didn't know why Jin always sleeps and never talk to anyone.: Why is he?Leah muttered.Then the other girls also walked in and sat at their own seat.

When she went inside the room was still the same. She looked at her desk. Leah touched something.[A book]Leah touched the book without doing anything. Her smiles just curve downwards.: Isn't it? Was it all a dream? Why is he...Leah asked herself. But she can't believe it.: He really looks like Jin Park. Leah said.

Before going out she took a towel and brought her things. She ran downstairs and walked into the bathroom.: Ah!Leah screamed when she opened the door.What entangled her was that broken mirror.: Brother!: Brother!Leah called out but no one answered.

A blood was left.: Where are they?Leah asked herself.: Brother!: Brother!Leah kept yelling but no one answered her.
[ Chapter 16: Friends ][In the classroom]Four girls waited beside their door. However, the friend they knew didn't come.: Where is she?Ole is worried about her. Leah first friend knew about her. Leah will not make some absences without any reason. But, she didn't expect that Leah will be absent today for no reason.Ole looked at her friends also and asked them.: Did Leah texted you?Ole asked Ji.However, Ji said no.
