A girl stood beside the circular table. It was Gu. She stood up as soon as she finished her food.
: Come on, the next subject will start.
Gu said to them.
Then the five girls walked away with a happy mood. 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.
[Afternoon Class]
The students also appeared. Each of them who walked in sat. They haven't talk or anything else.
[Silence]
The room went silent because there stood the most hated professor.
[Jean Jackobo]
Age: 56
Height: 5'9Eyes: BrownHair: WhiteIt was their professor in intermediate math, Prof. Jean Jackobo.
[Intermediate Math]
[Intermediate Math is the upgraded version of Elementary Math. Elementary math is their subject when they were in second grade. However, Intermediate Math is also basic math. It covers algebra, functions and more.]
Prof. Jean Jackobo is not just a professor but a doctor and a master's degree. He who wore a calm look and a poker face. But that face can kill. He is known as the "Terror" among teachers in their department. He is called like that because he CAN'T help himself but give students a failing grade.
[5.0]
[The grading system of [NISU] is different. A 5-point scale, from the lowest to highest -- 0.00 to 5.00. It wasn't 90 or 85, not A-E, not like in Elementary School or Secondary School. In short, it was different from Kto12 grading system.]
[K to 12 means, Kindergarten to Grade 12, from elementary to secondary.]
[Tertiary education means, college level.]
[NISU] grading scale]
[ 0.0 = 100 ]
[ 1.0 = 95 ][ 1.5 = 90 ][ 2.0 = 85 ][ 2.5 = 80 ][ 3.00 = 75 ][ 5.00 = 65 ][ 0.0 grade stands as the highest grade and 3.00 stands as the passing grade while 5.0 stands as the failing grade.]
[College is harder than we all think]
[Study First]
Then the time ticks. Students listened and noted their professor lectures. A very different life of what Leah experienced. This subject is killing her.
*Ting*
Luckily the bell rang again. It means it was already done. The subject was done.
: Class dismissed!
Their professor dismissed the class.
: Intermediate math is very hard!
Leah muttered. She wracked her brain to find the X and Y. Yet she couldn't find it.
[Poor Leah]
: Why are those numbers dancing! What am I, not talented?
Leah asked herself in despair. Then she looked at someone who is in the front row. It was Gu. She is still writing some notes.
: If Gu sat beside me then...
Leah said and pause her words halfway.
: Maybe I can do well?
Leah asked herself. Then looked at Nami to calm herself.
But Nami looked at her with disgrace.
: You!
Nami grinned at her. However, Leah is not responding to her.
: What did you say?!!
Nami asked her. It was not that loud but ear piercing.
: Umm... Nothing.
Leah replied back to her. Her mood calmed down.
: You!! You opposed me to sit here! Am I right, Leah?"
Nami said and asked her. It was very fierce and it matches with her slanting eyebrows.
: Uh! I didn't mean that Nami. I mean... if you just know how to find them if it is rational or not and the ordered pair then, then maybe we finished the question on time?
Leah rebutted and just asked her. She looked at her while explaining.
But that words crushed Nami's heart.
: Humph! That also meant I'm useless here! I'm done with you, Leah!
Nami said. Then she stood up and walked away.
: Don't!
Leah called her and ran after her. Then Leah caught her.
: Where are you going?
Leah said. However, Nami looked at her with irritation.
: Don't cling at me! I'm going to CR!
Nami shouted but the class heard her.
: Umm...
Nami did not know what to say! She shouted that part loudly. She blushed and looked at Leah.
: This is your fault, Leah!
Nami thought and pushed her away.
: No!
Leah called her. But Nami ran away from her.
Leah dramatically lied on the floor yet that only worsen her social points.
Her classmates are laughing at her.
*Chatter*
*Chatter*
The class gossips about her.
: Sigh, Leah Su. What a beauty but another stupid! Idiot! AHA HAHA!
One of the girls in the front row said. She is not that beautiful nor ugly. That girl just mocked Leah.
: Jenny!
Leah called her name.
[Jenny Sung]
Age: 20
Height: 5'6Eyes: BrownHair: BlondeJenny is a blonde-haired girl with a bunny headband on her head. This girl Jenny bore a deep resentment to Leah. She always mocked her. Throw something at her or even framed her from something Leah didn't do. Jenny doesn't like her.
[She hate her]
But Leah didn't know why Jenny hates her so much.
: Don't call me by my name! You are stupid! You are ****!
Jenny trashed talked to her.
: Hahaha!
The students who heard that laughed at Leah.
Leah just heard those ear-piercing ugly compliments and the laughing squad.
: You!
Leah boiled in anger. That compliment strikes her the most.
Then Leah stood up. She wanted to fight that girl. However, Ji and Gu ran at her.
: Stop it, Leah! Don't fight them.
Gu said. She doesn't want Lia to go amok. And also Jenny has a group of friends who hang out with her.
[Especially bad guys]
: Don't stop me Gu! I will kill her!
Leah said. She refused to believe.
: Of course, Ji will help me.
Leah thought and looked at her enemy.
But Ji didn't move. Gu stopped her too. Ji wanted to help Leah but it wasn't a good idea.
: Gu! Ji!
Leah called their names. But Gu and Ji just looked at her.
: Leah! Let's go.
Gu said. She pulled her away. She didn't want Leah to become a laughingstock. Of course, her social points will really drop again.
: A beauty but another idiot?
Gu recalled those words from the woman who ridiculed her best friend.
Upon reaching her seat, Leah grinned.
: What is wrong with you girls! You stopped me!
Leah said.
: Don't trick me, Lia.
Gu said and looked at her straightly.
Leah just saw her serious face. She didn't want to see that face.
: I'm sorry. It was too awkward if I didn't fight back, right? They will think that I am a loser.
Leah explained.
: You are a loser long ago, remember?
Gu corrected her. It wasn't a mock but a truth. Leah knew it was a sermon again.
[Like her brother]
Then Gu continued to talk.
: Leah, we are college now okay? We're already in third year, right? We don't have to fight as always. We need to change also. Still, we will always be your best friends. Am I right girls?
Gu said and called the girls.
[A noteworthy leader]
: Yes.
The girls replied. Ji, Nami, and Ole looked at her. It was warm and welcoming.
Of course, that touched Leah's heart. Then she smiled at them.
: Thank you.
Leah said.
: Group hug?
Ole suggested.
: Yes...
Their friendship is true to heart.
[At the last row]
A man who dozed off from his desk woke up. His woke up because someone is disturbing his sleep.
[The classroom is noisy]
: This!
Jin muttered. Then he looked at Leah and the girls.
: That girl! I really loathe her. My dog just died because of her! My dog...
Jin muttered by himself as he mourned about his dog.
: Sigh, her smiles. Sherry must be happy now.
Jin called as he took a nap again.
Then the time ticks. After professor Jean Jackobo there is P.E. 3 or Physical Education 3.
[Physical Education 3]
[P.E 3, this subject includes sports and history. The history and the origin of every well-known sport like Basketball, volleyball, football, etc. and more.]
: Ting! Ting!! Ting!!!
The bell rang.
: At last!
: The class is finally finished.
Leah called. To her, P. E is very easy and the is nothing to explain.
: Let us go?
Leah stood up and called her friends.
: Yeah.
The girls said and moved.
[End of their classes]
The girls walked out and reach the gate.
Afar from them, a man stood at the gate. He is waiting for someone.
: Leah!
Someone called her name.
It was Lance.
Lance waited for her at the gate. He really wanted to keep her safe.
: Let us go?
Lance offered.
Then Leah looked at her friends.
: Bye!
Leag said her goodbyes to her best friend's.
: Yeah...
: Goodbye!Then each of the girls parted. Gu and Nami walked together while Ji and Ole parted their ways.

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. Then she picked up the book, put her bag down, walked to her bed, and lay on it.: Really?Leah wondered.She is holding the book upwards.Then she turned it to the last part.[The end]: What in the world is he? He's like Jin Park and his name is Jin Park! But how come? How is possible and his dog's name?Leah asked herself.: Ah!Leah stopped her thought running and discovere

She sat on her purple bed.: Can we talk?Anna said.Then Leah looked at her with beat eyes. It was moist in red. : Do you want me to come?Leah asked. She is still pursuing her goals.When Leah was 10 her parents left her. In school, she was jealous of her schoolmates where their parents are very supportive. However, Leah had nothing. Then she asked her brother to where her parents are. Lance replied to her that mom and dad were abroad working for the family's s

I hope I can change his mind.Leah asked herself. Then she stood up. In her desk, there was a book. Atop of that book, there was an eyeglass and a small box. 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.

As for why it is because they made fun with her! Of course, Ji can't refuse.[On the big bathtub]Actually, Leah in her house they have no big bathtub. These five girls just made 5 bathtubs made out of containers. Of course, the circular one. They filled it up with hot water and leapt inside. [It is like Sauna][Sauna][Sauna is a steam hot bath. It is filled with water but it contains heat to warm your body. Usually, it is done during the night. The hot bath or Sauna is a good idea. To relax and enjoy the hot feeling and to reduce stress and worries.]They wore a towel on their heads. As for that, that is their culture. When you see them putting something on their head.

Their tears just flow and nothing else.: slap!Nami slapped Gu. : Tell us! Tell us!Nami shouted without care. She didn't mind who is reach and poor. Of course, she knew what standings in life did Gu and Ole has. They were the only daughter of top corporations in Korea.

However, her body moves on its own accord.Slowly, Leah walked to him. [Closer]The closer she got the closer her heart beats faster. : Why....did...you...leave...her...Leah muttered word by word. Suddenly, she fastened her steps and stood at him.[Closer]: Ah!The red-haired man was shrieked.Looking at him makes her heart go faster and faster. [It pumps]Leah looked at this man.[Still and Motionless]: You! The man just looked at her with fierce eyes.Then Leah grabbed his sleeves. : What are you?Leah asked with sorrow. She pulled him closer. She wanted to confirm something. Still, she remembered how did he look like. That book didn't fail her imagination. : He is real and alike! But the thing is...[Are you real?]Leah asked her mind.The red-haired man just looked at her with disgrace. : You!!! Don't touch me,
Lance and the rest were saved. They recovered and rejoiced.5 years later.Leah and her friends were already happy and living on its own.Jin married Ole. Nami married Lewis.The couples had their kids already.Georgia and Gu married a wealthy guy.Ji also married a simple man.And Leah...She lives with her father and mother now.At the big, beautiful mansion, two beautiful women were eating their food happily."Mom!" Leah happily called when she saw her mother."Yeah." Her mother replied.Her father also joined them.Her brother, Lance.Sister, Anna Su.And the two naughty nieces, Leo and Lector was already a big and handsome teen.And they eat happily ever after.But for him... Juarez...He was happily living on his own also.However, he can't change what he had done in his life."Maybe I need to rewrite this story again."
[ Chapter 87 ]“I see you’re just pretending to be controlled by my power, are you, Lance?” Juarez asked.Seeing him smiled, Lance yawned.“Your still as boring Juarez…” Lance said.“Oh… you got me, my friend. Now I know everything I think I felt not happy. It was you who burned my companion 6 years ago. I thought you were my friend. But what did you do? You burned them all not even a single soul can be found. So you’re happy that you tried to kill us at the time. Maybe my father and uncle did but why did you this to the us? Isn’t you strong enough to kill us anytime? But why did you end us when you had the chance. To change something, you let us live. You used us, Juarez!” Lance screamed over the pain of his past.“Lance… where is your pride. As a transcendental human, I will do anything as long as I like. You see I made you the richest man and you did nothing to me. You even took my future wife and you will! I know I wasn’t been
[ Chapter 86 ]Seeing his tears over the past, Leah wanted to hug him too much. However, Leah seemed not to know one thing.“I’m... Why are my father and my uncle have to do with this?” she asked.“Oh... You didn’t understand everything, Leah. Your father and your uncle were the same. They’re a man who loves money and chooses to protect over his company rather than his own family. You didn’t know everything, Leah. But do you know who is your father? Your mother and your brother?...” he asked.Truly Leah did not know anything about her past and secrets of her family.“Then tell me,” Leah said.“Oh?” He gasped. Then he continued...”Okay. But this will make you like me. A villain Leah.” He said first wanted to change her mind.“I won’t stop you. Tell me everything about my brother and my family.” Leah said and pursue him.“Okay. Your father real
[ Chapter 85 ]From her view, Juarez smiled.He put his arms between his jaw and said, “I’ll explain.”Leah looked at him with a hint of curiosity and replied, “I’ll listen.” She smiled also.“Okay. I’ll tell you who am I first and introduced them.” He said.“He is Lance Park.” He pointed out her brother.“What? Who?” Leah asked.She didn’t know who was her brother.“Him, your brother,” Juarez added.“Lance Park, what do you mean?” She asked.“What do I mean? Haha... I mean Lance Park was Lance Su. Or simply he hid everything from you, my Leah!” He said the truth.“......” Leah stared at him. She didn’t know if he was telling the truth or not. But to sum it up she formulated something.“So my brother hid something from me?” She asked despite his brother listening to her
[ Chapter 84 ]Leah stood beside the broken door of the tower. Near her, a friend and family walked to her.“Brother?” She uttered.Her brother is walking on its own. It not her brother but someone who controlled by the fake God. Now Leah had nothing to do with it.She’s also exhausted after staying in the tower for days. Leah will do nothing at this moment.“Brother!” Leah shouted his name again. Still, she doesn’t get a response from him.Then she runs at him. That, however, her familiar friends caught her arm.“Georgia? Name? What are you two doing?” Did she ask them? Yet, they were also like her brother.Yes, a puppet moving on its own. Then Leah thought of one thing.‘They must be controlled by someone I don’t
[ Chapter 83 ]“Leah?” They looked at the floor where Leah slept. She actually regained her senses.“Ah....” Leah painstakingly stood up on her own.“Wait—!” Nami and Ji run to help her.They assisted her and pulled her up. Leah looked around and found them familiar.“Nami... Ji? Is this you?” She asked and touched their face.“Yes.” Nami and Ji replied and let Leah do what she wants.The rest also moved beside her. Ole, Gu, and the rest stood and protected Leah.“Leah, can you repeat what did you say?” Nami asked her.“I trust him. Please...” Leah begged.However, Gu and Georgia we’re suspicious. They looked at Leah and ponder. 
[ Chapter 82 ]Lewis and Jin room their stance. They knew they can do it if they kick the glass one more time.“Let’s do it.” They both said.“Crack—” It sounded. It can’t be just a big crack but a shattering mirror.“We did it!” The two boys applauded with a high five.“Hehe...” They awkwardly smiled when the girls saw them funny.“Let’s go?” Jin asked.“Yes.” They all responded.Then everyone went out of the broken glass. A new light entangled them. It was not that bright but a good light to make them happy.“Yeah!” They shouted. At last, they found what freedom is.Under the tower, or so in the underground, a man failed to see what was happening.“It can’t be! The fluid just... “ He was so depressed. The feeling of loss from the kids makes him angry
[ Chapter 81 ]Had counted to 10 up to 1. Until Georgia came into her senses.“The key!” Georgia shouted. She nearly forgot that there was a key in this world.What did Georgia give to the Fake God was the key of agility. Now she needs to use her last option.“Key of balance! Take us back to reality!” Georgia shouted.However, that didn’t work. They went silent until suddenly all of their surroundings changed. They covered their eyes because they didn’t see lights for almost how much uncounted time in this dream or something.One moment later. Slowly they recovered and opened their eyes. They were actually sleeping.“What… this that the entrance?” They asked themselves while standing up.What actually happened there
[ Chapter 80 ]“We miss you also.” Ji said and moved her hand and hugged everyone. “sob… sob…” Ji was crying. “We need to save Leah. We must.” Ji said. Then the rest nodded at her.Then Ji sat straight and focus on the light. It was the hologram, Lewis, his dream. “Oh my! So we are actually in this game!” Ji called in shock. She knew at first at Georgia that it was a dream but she never expected them all to suffer this dream. “Ummm… so Lewis actually that guy. He was…” Ji muttered. However, Nami also wanted to do something from Lewis, however, she can’t. “Lewis.” Nami just muttered his name. Nami looked at Georgia and looked at her with meaningful eyes. “Georgia, please save him…” Nami prayed.Everyone looked at her, Georgia was nervous. This moment is the last thing she would do to save them out. However, they never will know what will happen after this. She walked to
