Jack got in contact with the unknown caller and then he know his manager is in the hospital. He wanted to check over there. But the time was the problem. He skipped the class and go out. When he stood at the front gate, he see someone moving up toward him from the dark. He could not see the face of that person because the street lamps are not lit up clearly over there. The trees were covering up the light so the street get darker than other parts. He was turning back to the main street to get a taxi. Then, the strange person was catching him up. He turned around and it get too close to meet that person's forehead. He said, "Oh god, Changle what are you doing here". Changle was asking, "What are you doing here?". He said, "Why do I tell you?". Changle said, "If you don't want to say, I will tell your absent teacher". He said, "Oh crap, why are you being like this". Changle said, "I am your fan and I love you since you are in the spotlight". He said, "Why are you telling this to me?". Changle said, "I can do everything for you so do you need help now". He said, "I must say yes". Changle said, "I can call my driver to take the car here". He said, "Wait, do you have a car". Changle said, "Not mine, my father's". He said, "Oh, I get it". Changle was making a call and then the car arrive. He said, "Thank you, buddy". Changle said, "I think I can not sleep tonight". He got into the car and show the address on his phone to the driver. The driver was taking a look at that address and set off the car. Changle was standing at the gate watching them leave. When he reached, it was almost 11 pm. He went into the emergency room for meeting his manager. He didn't need to take time to find the manager. He found his manager right after opening the door. The manager was looking at the door too where the crowded place of people and doctors. He ran up to the manager quickly and ask what happen. His manager said, "I was in the car crash so the doctor tell me to rest here today". He said, "Do you get serious injuries?". His manager said, "Just little injuries". He said, "Are you sure?". His manager said, "Don't worry, I will go back home tomorrow". Then, he said, "what about the hospital charges". His manager said, "don't worry much". He looked at the foot which appear outside the blanket. He pointed over there and said, "Isn't it broken?". His manager said, "Look, I can not go to my job tomorrow". He said, "Because of that". His manager said, "I can't get it done so my manager fire me". He said, "How did they make this decision instead of understanding your problem?". His manager said, "I am just the temporary staff than permanent". He said, "Is that so". His manager said, "I will not get the salary for this month but I will find another job". He said, "It's okay, we have a little amount in account". His manager said, "Don't worry much, you must go back home before getting late". He said, "It's already late". Then, he put the bag on the table and was ready to sleep on the chair. Afterward, he was wrapping the shawl over his body and slept. His manager looked at him and then he also try to close his eyes to sleep.

YooLim saw him run towards the gate via the window. YooLim told herself, "What happen to him?". Then, someone came up to her class for finding her. The teacher went out for an hour and the others are heading out to the teacher's restroom. She was concentrating on maths homework. So, she doesn't notice someone get into the classroom and come closer to her. When that person knocked on her desk, she look up and said, "What are you doing here?". Her brother Xiao was here to take her home. He looked at her exercise book and said, "Do you need help?". She said, "Hey, my friend will think of me as the loser". He said, "How long will it take to end?". She said, "I don't know because this case is to confuse". He said, "Let me do it and you put your books in your bag". She said, "Who tell you to come here?". He said, "Your mother, my aunt did". She said, "My mother will worry about me because aunt Mei tells her about the stalker". He said, "We shouldn't be late". She said, "I know". He said, "You know nothing". Then, her classmates moved up to them and asked her brother about their homework too. She said, "What are you doing now?". They said, "YooLim, please tell your brother to help us". She looked at her brother and said, "I think he can not help you". Her brother said, "Just sit here, I will guide you for today". She was waiting for them and going to the teacher's restroom. After she put the homework book on the table, she goes home with her brother. Her brother sent her back safely and greet her family and leave. After he left, her mother said her cousin live at the condo near their building. She asked, "which condo". Her mother said, "the new condo exists three or four blocks from here". She said, "The glass condo which has hotel and restaurants and marts include". Her mother said, "yes". She asked, "Do you meet uncle?". Her mother said, "Your father meet him at the bar and he tell your father about their new home". She said, "cool, uncle is having a nice job". Her mother said, "Your uncle is the boss". Then, she went to the bathroom for washing her face, and legs and change her clothes. She brushed her teeth and was ready to go to bed.
