After practicing from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm with no breaks, Duskin curled on the couch and fell asleep. “Can we take a break now?” Hae Mina asked. In truth, she needed the break more than wanted it. Her left hand ached and she did not know how much longer she would be able to keep the pain hidden.“I guess so,” Yang Dae-Su muttered. “What do you say, Jiho?”

Rhee Min-Jun entered the room a few minutes later to find Hae Mina curled up on top of the covers on the bed. Her brown hair fanned around her and hid her face. Her right hand was wrapped in covers and the left lay on a lump of covers. Rhee Min-Jun stepped forward and looked at her hand. Her left hand appeared to be swollen. He slid her hair from her face, and then with two fingers, he applied gentle pressure to her hand. Her face crumpled in pain. He removed his fingers and Hae Mina’s eyes jerked open.Rhee Min-Jun had backed up in time for Hae Mina not to notice he had touched her. She flexed her left hand and her face flinched in pain. “Did you hurt your hand in the fight earlier?” Rhee Min-Jun questioned. She jumped and looked to the side to see him. Her wide eyes let him know she had not noticed his presence until then.“No

Hae Mina grabbed her bag with her change of clothes before she followed Rhee Min-Jun to his car. As they pulled from the parking lot, Hae Mina removed her wig then searched through the duffle bag for a brush. As she prepared herself, Rhee Min-Jun drove in silence."I guess, I will run to a bathroom to change," She muttered a few minutes later. But she knew doing so would result in her being late to calls. "Although, I think I'll be late no matter what we do.""We are almost there," Rhee Min-Jun assured as she rushed through the yellow light as the intersection. A minute later, Rhee Min-Jun pulled into the parking lot by the University."Thank you, Sunbae," Hae Mina called as she rushed from the car with the duffle bag in tow. H e waved at her before he took in a deep breath and then with a puff, he diale

Cass, how did I ever let you talk me into this? Hae Mina wondered as Chin-Sun tossed another dress at her. “Try it on. I don’t like the way that one fits you.”“Chin-Sun Unni,” Hae Mina complained, “this is the seventh one.” “Eighth. Now, go change. I will not send you looking like a ragdoll.” Hwan Chin-Sun turned Hae Mina around and pushed her by her back into the dressing room. Hae Mina sighed and changed again. The second Hae Mina slid the fabric on, she knew the dress was an absolute no. Hwan Chin-Sun did not know about the wound healing on her back, so she would not have realized that Hae Mina could not wear that dress; however, even if her back was completely healed, she refused to wear this dress. 

Cass thought about her comment. What was she hiding? “How’s your hand?” he asked. Hae Mina paused in her eating, “My hand?” she questioned.“Yeah, you cut your right hand, remember?”“I kind of forgot everyone knew, but it’s doing fine, so you don’t need to worry,” Hae Mina replied.“Can I check?” he asked. She sighed.“You boys are all alike,” she stated before laying her hand on the table. He lifted it and checked the side. The cut was healing well. Cass didn’t drop her hand after he had looked at the wound, instead, he examined the rest of her hand. It was so small compared to his and felt delicate, but h
