Jae sigh as he finishes painting the tree as a props for the play, all the Theatre club becomes the supervisor for the roles, for the production team and for the props team. They become the one who helps other clubs to better, since this is their forte. Yuri place paper bag with full of paint paste, she suddenly sit at the floor beside Jae and rest her head at Jae's back. "I am so Tired! This is why I hate Monday.." Yuri said. Jae chuckles and take his chip under his Jacket and give it to Yuri "Well done, Yuri".

She widen her eyes as she saw a chip in front of her, she happily eats them all for 30 seconds and receive a pat from her head, it was Jae who gave it.

"How about me?" Yumi suddenly pop out from Yuri's back holding their lunch box.

"Good job!" Jae replies raising his thumbs up.

"Yumi! What are you doing here?" Yuri said smiling while Jae wiping Yuri's mouth.

Yumi smiles back then give her a strawberry drink "I thought you might need it, and good job for buying all the painting paste" He said then sit beside Jae giving the lunch box.

Yuri adorably give a big smile and thank them both. Amber went to them holding a full bag of lunch boxes for 4 people, She sigh as she looks to them already eating. "I guess I'll be eating these lunch all by myself" Amber sigh. Yuri saw Amber walking towards them so she help her "Jae and Yumi already get the lunch box from culinary club" Yuri said, then they both look to Jae and Yumi. Yumi giving most of his beef to Jae, they were both having a conversation happily.

Amber smiles looking at them.

"definitely, something happen back there" Amber enjoys the outcome to them.

Yuri suddenly kiss Amber in her cheek, making Amber stun and look back at her. "You are too occupied and didn't even hear what I say!" Yuri pout.

"I said, let's give it to Ethan and Luna.. the extra lunch box" Yuri said. Ambers agreed and kiss her back but this time it's on Yuri's forehead. "Yeah we should do that" Amber replied and they both quietly leave Jae and Yumi enjoying their moment.

They both reach at the back of the storage near at the Theatre club room.

They notice that students there were quiet, like they were speechless to something.

Yuri got curious and runoff to that direction and saw Bella laughing so hard to someone.

A 170 cm guy with a fair skin.

He has a clean cut raven hair with blue eyes.

The guys suddenly look to Amber, as if he knows her.

Amber look surrounds her and saw Luna trying to stop her laugh while Elaine holding her tummy laughing.

"Ethan! You look different!" Yuri ran towards him and trying to reach Ethan's new clean cut hair.

The guy in front of her is Ethan smith, the title of "Golden boy" was now erased due to his new look. Ethan's golden hair was now in raven color he must have a reason to do this big change.

"did Luna finally tell you to back off?" Bella asked laughing.

"Ethan.. Do you need someone to talk to?" Yuri was wholesomely asking and worried.

"was this because of Dong-Yul? Should I hit his face if I saw him?" Red laughing while comfortably resting his arms to Ethan's Shoulder.?

"Dude, is writing a script makes you did this? This is a little concerning. We are friends so you can tell to us anything right?" Amber can't find the right emotion she will make after looking at Ethan.

Andrew middle. them between Ethan and others "I am Kind of curious too what is the reason, He literally send me a message it it's against the school or not".

Everyone look to Ethan waiting for an answer.

Ethan look to Elaine.

Every people in that place knows that Ethan decided to prove on something just looking to his Expression. They watch Ethan as he walk towards elaine.

"I want to prove that being different doesn't makes you lost the rights to be one of our family, look at me now. I do look different now, but I am still your brother and you will be my Little sister as always" Ethan said it wholeheartedly. Elaine understand what he is trying to say, she smile a little and really appreciate what Ethan do. Ever since before, Elaine look up to Ethan secretly because she doesn't want to admit that even though Ethan is so lame at many times, Elaine knows that Ethan is his best big brother of all the time.

This might be not common for having a big brother, but Elaine knows that Ethan is a sweet person and value his family more than anything. "Then how about Sebastian?" Elain crosses her arms. Ethan suddenly stun to what Elaine asked, her question was on point that caught him off guard. Ethan sigh.

"Well… you can see that I am will right? I have tried but we can't force things like that in a fast face. Time will come that I would accept that, and maybe I would be ready to have a father figure other than my Father" Ethan said honestly. Elaine was looking to Ethan's eyes the whole time and she feels like Ethan is not lying. Elaine nods as she understand him.

Andrew give back the script to Ethan. "It's approved and we already have check the grammars, mis-spellings. We will be waiting your finished script until last day of this month so that for another month we all have do to is practicing and memorizing the script." Andrew tap his shoulder and give him a big and proud smile to Ethan. "Good job" Andrew said then he leaves the group.

"Well anyway!, Ethan and Luna have you guys eat lunch? If not..?" Amber give a plastic bag with two lunch boxes inside to Luna. "Eat them when you guys go back to the club room, I will give the Theater club a word that you guys were taking a break" Amber said waving her hand in the air while walking away with Yuri.

Inside the Literature Club.

After eating lunch, Luna and Ethan help each other to finish the story. Ethan is in charge of making the story and writing it on his notebook, While Luna was transferring the notes in to Ethan's laptop. Luna was just happy to help him since she become like a secretary to him most of the time. They take a a break for a minute and suddenly fell asleep.

*click* *catching* *click*

Luna suddenly woke up to the sound coming from the door. She think that someone is knocking at the door so she went there. Holding the door know, she felt that it was luck. She tries again and shake the door knob.

*slam*

Ethan hurriedly woke up to the sound and saw Luna's hands were in the door. "Why are you punching the door?" Ethan ask still feeling sleepy. Luna try to shake the door knob again and again, she tried to look the space between the door but no one outside. She sigh. "We got lock inside" Luna said.

*Yawning* "you have the key right? Open it" Ethan said and was about to go back at sleeping. Luna rolled her eye "Are you stupid?! Do you forget why Benjamin died here? Because he got locked! And the only way to open the door was outside!" Luna said. Then suddenly they look at the window and saw it's already dark outside.

Ethan gulp as he felt the chills from his neck.

"I mean, this building got renovated so.." Ethan try to be positive in their situation. He saw Luna shake her head as a no "Not exactly, I know they just fix things and patch up all the cracks in the building." Luna said looking at her phone. "It's already 7pm" she said. Ethan look at the window and then remembers their club room is in third floor, if they tried to jump down, He knows one of the part of his body will have a mild injury. Ethan look to his phone and saw a message from Elaine.

"Big brother!, were going to Bella's house for finishing the castle tower and the kingdom's balcony, Bella's house is near to school so we chose to finish it there. I will be back at 4 in the morning. Send Charles to get me at 4 am if you guys are worried"

Luna sit beside Ethan.

They didn't talk for an hour just suddenly go back finishing the script. While Luna is typing, she look to Ethan and suddenly breaks the silence "How is the case about Aunty Fumiko and Aunty Ellie?". Ethan suddenly stop writing to his notebook and smiles awkwardly. "Way to go for breaking the silence, Luna" Ethan sounds disappointed and awkward at the same time.

"I don't want to pretend that nothing happens okay?, and beside I am worried to both of them too" Luna said. They pause for an awkward time. Luna can see how Ethan suddenly upset. "We are going to claim my Father's justice" Ethan said. He might not looking to Luna but she knows he meant what he says. "After we win the hearing, we will help Red about Aunt's situation." Ethan said. He rest head at his arms at the table then look to Luna. "We just want justice for my Father, I hate what she did but that separates it to all the things she done to us.. I am thank full for all those times." Ethan looks so down.

"you know, back when we were kids.. I told myself I want to Marry a woman like Aunt Fumiko" He bitterly sigh.

"Strong woman who will get a man if she only wants to. Yeah that's what she like and that is what I like about her" Ethan said. They both look to each other "Like you Luna, Strong.. And only will get a man if you wants to". Luna didn't expect what he said. She miles back at him "I'll take that as a compliment" Luna said. "But that's the only side I saw , we didn't know what she feels." Ethan said. Luna suddenly rest her head at the table like Ethan did. They look to each other.

"a person that will feel you that you are loved.. That is what she's looking for" Luna said to Ethan.
