AFTERSHOCKS

Bo-Ram Deok: (the bell signalling it's break time then rang) oh, I'll eat something nice.

Boy 1: (approaches her) I've recovered but not fully from what you did to me

Bo-Ram Deok: it's a miracle you're still talking to me here, isn't it?

Boy 1: people will come after you, it doesn't just ends here, after all, you're just a girl.

Bo-Ram Deok: get lost

Boy 1: are you getting angry, I received my suspension letter today, I also heard that if you fight once more, you'll be expelled, we don't need people like you here, you

Hana: stop it

Boy 1: stay out of it, Hana. You come to class, you don't talk to anyone, you act sus, you're just a creepy kid

Bo-Ram Deok: beats me

Boy 1: nobody really wants you here, you know you should just transfer somewhere else

Bo-Ram Deok: I said get lost.

Boy 1: you're still cool, well, your dad is just an idiot for raising a kid like you, you ain't even interested in studying

Bo-Ram Deok: what did you say? (She then banged the table and got up in rage, she tried to attack him but was stopped by the intervention of Kim Tae-Oh holding her hands)

Kim Tae-Oh: can't you see he's trying to get you expelled? He's trying to provoke you

Bo-Ram Deok: (cools down)

Kim Tae-Oh: you say she doesn't talk to anyone? You think she won't talk to you if you talk to her in a more approachable way, you say we don't need students like her when it's really students who go around fighting with girls just to test that strength that wereally don't need, you say she isn't interested in studying? she ranks 175th out of 210 students in the whole grade, and what do you even rank? 172th, you're not that far off either, who are you to say such a thing? Get lost

Boy 1: this isn't over, Bo-Ram Deok (leaves)

Bo-Ram Deok: yeah, it isn't over yet

Kim Tae-Oh: I'm sorry he caused such commotion, I'm the class rep so I'll take responsibility

Bo-Ram Deok: I hate that

Kim Tae-Oh: what

Bo-Ram Deok: people who covers other people mistake instead of correcting them, you did nothing wrong so I hold nothing against you [I seemed to had cooled down 'cause of you] (walks away)

Hana: that was so cool of you, Tae-Oh I tried to defend her but he cut me short, thanks.

Hye-Rim Deok's POV

She had arrived later to the class, all the seats were filled up, it was just one seat left, it was next to the guy whom she had met at the cafe earlier, Beok hyun-woo, so she sat on it and brought out her laptop.

Beok hyun-woo: good morning

Hye-Rim Deok: (nods) good morning, Hyun-woo sunbae

Beok hyun-woo: you missed a lot

Hye-Rim Deok: sorry, traffic, can I copy yours?

Beok hyun-woo: sure (gives her his note)

Hye-Rim Deok: [he's not just good-looking, he also has a good handwriting]

Lecturer: (claps) that was a good presentation from you, a 3rd year, next we'll call a 4th year, Beok hyun-woo.

Beok hyun-woo: (smiles at her) oh, I'm up

Hye-Rim Deok: good luck

Beok hyun-woo: thanks (leaves)

Boy 1's POV

School had already close, he was strolling down the street by house to get home when he felt that someone was following, he Increased his steps but his feelings of someone following him didn't stop, he heard noses and started running, then suddenly he got to a dead end, then Bo-Ram Deok came out with a smirk.

Bo-Ram Deok: hello, you

Boy 1: what are you doing here?

Bo-Ram Deok: just to pay an old friend a visit

Boy 1: you don't owe me any visit

Bo-Ram Deok: I'm here to beat your ass over what you said

Boy 1: about you being creepy

Bo-Ram Deok: not that, I don't care about those, about my dad being an idiot

Boy 1: you can't fight, you'll get expelled

Bo-Ram Deok: nah, that's if I fight in the school premises or around the school premises, I even got it in writing so I can't be expelled, I knew this day was going to come so I got it written for you

Boy 1:

Bo-Ram Deok: I love this place, my voice echoes here, I can trash you as much as I want, as long as I don't kill you, it's fine (she then punched his nose causing it to bleed)

Boy 1: ouch, it hurts, spare me

Bo-Ram Deok: what's next? (She then kicked his right knee, causing him to get on his knees, then she kicked his head with her leg, making him lie on the floor)

Boy 1: spare me (spits blood)

Bo-Ram Deok: don't worry, you won't die, you didn't spare my dad while cursing him, did you? (She then got in and started punching him) I won't make you faint, I'll make you regret

Kim Tae-Oh: (uns in) Bo-Ram Deok, stop, please

Yoon-Ah's POV

She was sorting out some files in the system, when Ga Woo-jin walked in.

Ga Woo-jin: you free?

Yoon-Ah Deok: I was just going through some files again.

Ga Woo-jin: we're having a team dinner for a successful case, will you come.

Yoon-Ah Deok: I don't have the money

Ga Woo-jin: it's on me, if you're worried about Choi, I've talked to him, everyone's ready, we've all worked hard, especially you

Yoon-Ah Deok: okay, I'll come, thank you, sir

Ga Woo-jin: round off and come outside (leaves)

Yoon-Ah Deok: [how am I supposed to let go of you when you act like this, you're so cute, you're even cuter when you smile, oh my goodness]

Kim Tae-Oh's POV

He was in a drink store with Bo-Ram Deok, he bought her a coke and was having one for himself, they were having a conversation.

Kim Tae-Oh: weren't you worried that you might get suspended?

Bo-Ram Deok: not really , I've got proof that I can't be suspended 'cause I neither fought in the premises nor near.

Kim Tae-Oh: you're so smart, if you really focused on your study, you'll be very intelligent.

Bo-Ram Deok: (drinks) hey, how did you know I was interested in studying, why did you check my rank, what if I was just studying for the midterms alone.

Kim Tae-Oh: how did I know? I took note of you in middle school, though you were always silent, you'd try solving a question everyday, you still do it now

Bo-Ram Deok: but, I still has taken me nowhere, why don't I get good grades.

Kim Tae-Oh: well that's because you put the right attention in the wrong area and when you don't know something, you don't ask, I've been curious, why?

Bo-Ram Deok: 'cause I've got no friends, people only talk to me when they've got deals, sometimes they take me out in return, I feel it's an hazel to ask.

Kim Tae-Oh: well you've got one, we're friends, aren't we? What are we?

Bo-Ram Deok: yes we are, not bad

Kim Tae-Oh: (brings out his not and scribbles something on it, then gives it to her) read this this night, it'll help you prepare, and choice some questions to solve, if still you don't understand them, you can bring it to me

Bo-Ram Deok: not bad.

Hye-Rim's POV

She was at the bus stop waiting for the bus when, Beok hyun-woo walked in.

Beok hyun-woo: you heading out?

Hye-Rim Deok: yes , I don't stay on campus, my house is just a bus trip from here, you?

Beok hyun-woo: oh, I actually stay on campus, I'm going to see my parents, actually I need to take something from home , your presentation was magnificent out there, today.

Hye-Rim Deok: thank you, sunbae, even yours was excellent, I learnt a lot today from yours despite preparing mine, you know, you never stop learning.

Beok hyun-woo: yes (the bus then arrived, and passengers started getting in, next, Beok hyun-woo got in with Hye-Rim Deok behind him) I'll pay for this as a congratulation on your briefing (he then placed his card on the machine twice)

Hye-Rim Deok: oh, sunbae , if you do this, what will I do for you then? Yours was also nice.

Beok hyun-woo: I'm your senior, I should reward you, if you're so concerned, treat me to some ice-cream some other day, after all, the prices are equivalent (looks for a seat and sits)

Hye-Rim Deok: (she was fascinated by his character) oh, yes, that'll do [he's so cool]

Tae-Hwan Deok's POV

It was evening already, and as usual, he was driving a taxi when a passenger stopped him and got in, a lady.

Tae-Hwan Deok: oh, you look family, Bo-Ram's homeroom teacher?

Park Ha-young: Mr. Deok? (He then started driving)

Tae-Hwan Deok: so you're going to an hospital? How's that kid doing?

Park Ha-young: he was out of the hospital yesterday, but today he's back in, I don't know what happened so I'm going to check in with the parent

Tae-Hwan Deok: that's nice, you're a good teacher, some teachers wouldn't even mind.

Park Ha-young: you know, being a teacher is not just about teaching them how to study, it's also about being there for them mentally and emotionally, or so I believe

Tae-Hwan Deok: that's nice, Teacher Park, what about socially, don't you think you should also be there for them to see how their social skills are going?

Park Ha-young: I still ask myself that, what do you think?

Tae-Hwan Deok: well, you're a teacher, you should find out, how about you tell me when you do (looks at her who was sitting at the back)

Park Ha-young: ohk, Mr. Deok, do you know any restaurant around where I can get good food?

Tae-Hwan Deok: (he then drove her to his restaurant, there Bo-Ram was putting on an apron and was cleaning the table at the same time, Chae-Won Deok was sitting down while attending her assignments, Eun-ji Deok was also wearing an apron and was cleaning the counter)

Bo-Ram Deok: (to a customer who was leaving) come me again some other time.

Park Ha-young: (walks in) wow, first time I'm seeing you smile this much

Bo-Ram Deok: what a nice day for your homeroom teacher to visit

Park Ha-young: (looks around) your restaurant is so nice

Tae-Hwan Deok: you bet, Bo-Ram attend to your teacher (he then got a bottle of water for her) on the house.

Park Ha-young: thank you so much, Mr. Deok [Mr. Deok is so nice, whenever he comes to school, he keeps all the female teachers and female students looking at him, I wonder his age, he looks very young but I know he has a big girl, I'm curious, I've been in the school for a year only and Bo-Ram's homeroom teacher for almost 2months now]

Bo-Ram Deok: ma'am, at your service, should I just take your order or do I need to say the lines

Park Ha-young: you recite lines, I'll love to hear it

Bo-Ram Deok: welcome to Deok's Ramen, here we serve our customers utmost care and we believe customers are always number one, we have different varieties of food regardless of the name, we can even get you sushi, it'll take a little while, please place your order, would you like to look at the menu?

Park Ha-young: wow, I'm so impressed, you recite so well and smile as well, I've seen you done neither of those that much.

[Flashback

Bo-Ram Deok was practicing serving a customer with Hye-Rim Deok.

Hye-Rim Deok: come on, say it.

Bo-Ram Deok: welcome to Deok's Ramen, he we serve customers with utmost care and believe customers are....are...are

Hye-Rim Deok: (hits her head) hey, again, this is the 5th time. And we believe customers are always number one

Bo-Ram Deok: wait, why, why should they be number one, what if they're wrong?

Hye-Rim Deok: again

Flashback over]

Bo-Ram Deok: [that...., it took long]

Park Ha-young: you were so cute while saying those lines, get me something nice.

Bo-Ram Deok: budget

Park Ha-young: regular

Bo-Ram Deok: [took you long enough] (walks away)

Park Ha-young: (few minutes later, she was served chap chae with green tea to complete it, chap chae is a Korean delicacy served in a sizzling wok, containing sweet potato starch noodles danced with colorful vegetables and savory beef, all harmonized by a sweet and savory sauce. Chap Chae, a delicious Korean stir-fry dish that delights the senses!) oh, it looks so nice, did you make it?

Bo-Ram Deok; yes, it's tasty

Park Ha-young: (mixed it and eats it) hmmm, 😉, it's so tasty (drinks the green tea) I've been starving (her hair kept entering her eyes)

Tae-Hwan Deok: (walks in) please enjoy your meal

Park Ha-young: I've been starving since (she then packed her upward preventing it from discomforting her, while packing her hair, Tae-Hwan Deok was caught a bit off guard by the charm while staring at her eye, she looked more pretty, he gazed at her until she was done)

Tae-Hwan Deok: you haven't had anything?

Park Ha-young: just coffee, I haven't gotten any chances, after school today, I moved into one of the buildings by the street

Tae-Hwan Deok: oh, your previous apartment....

Park Ha-young: was very bad, my neighbors were loud and the apartment was broken, (eats)

Tae-Hwan Deok: that's bad, welcome here

Bo-Ram Deok: nothing is more fun that having your homeroom teacher in your street

Park Ha-young enjoyed her meal and bought some in takeaway, after which, Tae-hyun Deok drove her to the hospital.

Park Ha-young: thanks for driving me here

Tae-Hwan Deok: I will invite you to dinner with my entire family one day , (gives her a business card) even if you can't come, you can make a delivery, please patronize us

Park Ha-young: (reads the card) I will, thanks Mr. Deok

Tae-Hwan Deok: (drives away)

Park Ha-young: you're such a gentleman, I'm curious about you, Mr. Deok, his face is so reassuring (walks away)
