[3PM] Dahyun left the hotel to a nearby cafe to catch up on some homework. Afterwards, Dahyun went to one of her favorite beautiful gardens (Seoul Land Rose Garden). It was that time of year so roses were displayed beautifully at the garden. She sat on one of the chairs looking at people walk around and taking pictures with their friends. She was happy enough to see people around her. Kids were running around playing with their parents and siblings happily. It made Dahyun think about what it was like to have a family by her side.

During this time, all of the kids were out of school and relaxing in the dorm building lobby living room area. They started talking to each other on Dahyun’s situation. Hyunwoo, Nayeon, Sana, Mina, Tzuyu, Chaeyoung, IKON, Jihyo, GOT7, MonstaX, Lovelyz, Red Velvet, Mamamoo were all hanging out with each other sitting on the couch.

Hyunwoo (*asks) : what are we going to do about Dahyun ?
Hanbin : yeah. she is suspended from school. we need her to come back.
Chaeyoung (*asks) : why should we help her ?
Nayeon : she has been there for us all of this time. she helped us with everything.
Sana : yeah. Dahyun saved me from doing stupid things.
Mina (*asks & says) : remember that camping trip ? she was the one who suggested it.
Tzuyu : i have a bad feeling about Dahyun.
Kihyun (*asks) : why do you have a bad feeling ?
Tzuyu : she might do something like Sana again.
Jihyo (*surprised, stands up & says) : OH MY GOD !
Seulgi (*asks) : what ?
Jihyo : we have to go find her right now. i mean RIGHT NOW !

Everyone got up from their seats, went around the campus, and looked for Dahyun. They went to Dahyun’s room and she was not there. While everyone was looking elsewhere, Hyunwoo goes to see Jenny and ask her.

Jenny (*looks up to see Hyunwoo & asks) : what can i do for you Hyunwoo ??
Hyunwoo (*asks) : have you seen Dahyun ? did she check out yet ?
Jenny : she checked out hours ago.
Hyunwoo (*asks) : did she say anything about where she was going ?
Jenny : no, she just left.
Hyunwoo : alright. thanks Jenny.
Jenny : no problem.

Hyunwoo left the building and went around the city to find Dahyun. He stopped by the Seoul Land Rose Garden to walk around. He saw a figure sitting on the bench knowing it was Dahyun. He came behind her and said…

Hyunwoo : i finally found you.

Dahyun turns her head, looks at Hyunwoo for a bit, and turned back to looking at the beautiful river.

Dahyun : congratulations, you found me.
Hyunwoo : i see that you’re still mad about the whole thing.
Dahyun : of course i am.
Dahyun (*asks) : and do you know what the strange thing is ?
Hyunwoo (*asks) : what ?
Dahyun : i know exactly who is behind all of this.
Dahyun : it was someone who’s been behind everything.
Dahyun : the family whom i trusted the most, who raised me. my step-family.
Hyunwoo : i’m sorry, i didn’t know they would do this to you.
Dahyun : of course they would. their my step-family.
Dahyun : you know Hanbin was wrong about what he said.
Hyunwoo (*asks) : what did he say to you ?
Dahyun : he said that the school isn’t so bad and you’ll come to like it.
Dahyun : well, i think he’s wrong.
Hyunwoo : it isn’t so bad.
Dahyun : it pretty much is. you say that now because nothing has happened to you yet.
Dahyun : when it does, you’ll hate it.
Dahyun (*asks) : why do you think other kids go here ?
Hyunwoo (*asks) : why ?
Dahyun : they go here because they didn’t have a choice and that they were forced to.
Dahyun : its either they had to come here to get an education
Dahyun : because no other place accepted them, it’s part of their kpop idol training,
Dahyun : and there are some who are here because their company told them to come here.
Dahyun : none of it says that they came here to achieve their passion in becoming an artist.
Dahyun : we all came here because we have to.
Hyunwoo : that’s true but it’s all for the right reasons.
Hyunwoo (*asks) : do you remember when you asked me why i’m here ?
Hyunwoo : and i didn’t answer you.
Dahyun : yeah.
Hyunwoo : it was because of my grades but it’s also about wanting to achieve something.
Hyunwoo : i wanted to explore different options here.
Dahyun : but you don’t have any talent in any department besides business.
Hyunwoo : that’s true but i like to believe that i can do other things as well.
Hyunwoo : you know Dahyun-ah. you’re not alone in this, you never were.
Hyunwoo : we’re all your friends and enemy. that’s what SATA is about.

Dahyun and Hyunwoo got silent for a moment to look out at the beautiful river. After a moment, Dahyun says as she was thinking about it…

Dahyun : i wish i could turn back in time.
Hyunwoo (*asks) : why would you do that ? what would’ve you done better ?
Dahyun : i would go back to when i was 9 years old.
Hyunwoo (*asks) : and do what ?
Dahyun : convince my dad to not marry Miyoung.
Dahyun : and that i would protect him from that car accident that happened.
Dahyun : if that didn’t happen then everything would be perfect right now.
Dahyun : my dad would still be here, no step-family, the hotel would be in good hands,
Dahyun : i would follow my dad’s footsteps in working with him at the hotel.
Dahyun : i want to go back in time so badly, Hyunwoo.
Hyunwoo : i know you do but you can’t change the past.
Dahyun : i’ve suffered enough. i want to be happy.
Dahyun : but we all know that i can’t ever be happy if my step-family is around.

Dahyun stands up from sitting on the bench and walks away. Hyunwoo stood up and calls Dahyun back by asking her…

Hyunwoo (*asks) : where are you going Dahyun ?
Dahyun : i’m going to a place where no one will find me and there is no trouble for me.
Dahyun : anywhere i want to go at this moment.
Hyunwoo : Dahyun-ah. don’t do this.
Dahyun : i’m finding my own happily ever after.

Dahun walked away and Hyunwoo was scared what she was going to do.
