So, the smart student never fought the others. but she looked like hide her true self. Their leader turned out like this in a minute. She knocked out him by using the broom which use to clean the roof. The broom couldn't be able to use again after fighting. They were telling about her while they stand beside him. Then, he woke up and shout in anger. They were also shocked when he shouted out loud. After that, he held his neck and try to sit up on the bed. The second leader was helping him. The others just watched him like a weird guy. Tei Sun was lifting his hair up and said, "I am not losing yet". Then, he told them, "Don't let her beat you down in the classroom and everywhere".

YooLim was buying some tofu and other ready-made foods at the grocery store and also buy vegetables for her mother. When she headed out of the fruit shop, she see a strange man in a black shirt and black cap watching her. So, she tried to divert the eyesight of the stalk and head towards home from another way. There had alleyways from the back of the building. She wasn't being the resident here. Finally, she lost her way back home. She remembered the time when she head out of the fruit shop. Now, it's getting dark on the street. So, she looked up to the sky and see dark clouds. then, she saw the old lady who open the old fashion sewing shop. She went inside the shop and look around. The old lady came up to her by saying, "Do you want to sew a QiPao dress for yourself?". She looked at the dolls on the left side of the shop and see the strange qipao dresses which exactly the same as the dream. After she saw the mirror in the secret room, she dreams about the lady wearing the QiPao dress and pearl earrings on her ears. The dresses she saw now in this shop exactly the same as the wardrobe of that lady. So, she went up closer and touch the rose gold QiPao dress on the doll by asking, "How long have you opened this shop?". The old lady said, "I get this job from my grandmother because we live here since 1940". She said, "Do you know the house with the old big cherry tree at Changle road?". The old lady was gasping after she say this. Then, the old lady said, "Do you mean the remake house at the corner of the road?". She said, "Yes, it exists near the Coffee Valley cafe". The old lady said, "I have seen the beautiful lady who come to my grandmother for her new dress". She was taking the stool near the sewing machine and going near to the old lady. The old lady was sitting at the table and taking a sip of tea and continuing the story. The old lady said, "I heard that beautiful lady is the singer at the VIP club Japanese". Then, she said, "what was happening to her?". The old lady said, "We don't see her for months and later we heard the news of her death". She said, "Why is she dead?". The old lady said, "At that time, I am just five years old how will I know child". She said, "Then, what happen to that house". The old lady said, "That house was killing every owner so it keep moving from one owner to another". She asked, "I and my family live there with the other neighborhood". The old lady said, "We heard the new owner was rebuilding the house and it becomes like this". she said, "You haven't heard of any news after that". The old lady said, "The owner just gave the rooms to his employees so we can't know anything". She said, "Okay, thank you for telling me". The old lady said, "Are you okay?". She was holding her legs and standing back by saying, "I am fine and I must go now". The old lady said, "Come back anytime if you need a dress". She said, "I will, by the way, can you tell me which way is the shortest way back to there". The old lady was calling her granddaughter to guide the way for her. She was feeling lucky to get a helpful neighbor. She reached home at last. When she turned to the girl, the girl disappear. She couldn't find her anywhere else. So, she held the bag tight and get inside the building. The beautiful cherry flowers were blooming but the tree was too old.

Jack was waiting for her at the night study class time. She wasn't showing up at 9 pm. He knew it was time to go back home. But he stayed there alone and wait for her. When the clock's hand reached 9:30 pm, he leave. Then, he headed back home alone. He was walking slowly home without looking around. He put the earphones in his ears and listen to the songs. The songs made him brave and strong. He scared ghosts and spirits so he try to move forward carefully. Finally, he arrived home. At the gate, someone was standing there like the dead. He tried to ignore it and get inside. But it moved. He was stepping backward and try not to touch it. Then, he opened the gate and headed inside the building. He ran up to the elevator and hit the up button. The elevator was getting too slow to reach. So, he chose the stairs to go up. When he opened the door, he see the man who he saw yesterday. This strange man kept following him all the time. Then, he decided to ask him what it want. But the strange man passed beside him and head to the gate. He felt relaxed because it was just the same outfit. The person headed out from the building to the street. Then, he went upstairs. When he reached home, he try to open the door. But he found the door unlocked. He went inside the house and look at the doorstep. He saw the pair of girl's shoes at the doorstep near the shoe boxes. He knew why the door is unlocked. He didn't want to disturb his manager so he quickly step forwards to his room.
