I can smell a rat.

No-Eul walked into the cafeteria, she placed her order and went to her usual seat. She placed her food tray on the table and sat down waiting for Dan-Bi, without the clue that Dan-Bi is enjoying her meal without her already.

She checked her time and saw that it's strange for Dan-Bi not to be in the cafeteria by this time. She looked around but could not find Dan-Bi. After waiting for a while she became impatient and then she decided to ask someone if they had seen her in the cafeteria, 'Perhaps she might have come and gone.'

"Senior Du Ra-On, have you seen Choi Dan-Bi here at all?, I.." she was interrupted by the Senior seating beside her.

"There" The senior pointed at the corner where Dan-Bi and Yo-Han sits , "she does not sit hear anymore, she sits over there with her boyfriend now,....she really has good eyes."

"Boyfriend!!!???" No-Eul was startled, ' that's impossible, Dan-Bi has no boyfriend, the only person she likes is Seung-Heon, and that's not him.'

"You don't know?, No-Eul you are her best friend and you don't know?." The senior looks surprised.

No-Eul rarely eats in the cafeteria, she uses her lunch break to study in the library. She knows she is not a genius but she wants good grades so she spends all her time studying. 'She is a typical example of a bookworm' . Thus she did not know about Dan-Bi's latest quest.

"He is not her boyfriend I am sure of that, " she replied with certainty, picked up her food tray and went directly to Dan-Bi's table.

" ... Ant ANT is the story of the ant family. The pioneer ants needed a means of identification, so they named themselves ant A to ant Z, ant AA to ant ZZ, ant AAA to ant ZZZ, and the pattern goes on."

" There is this particular ant that was lucky to be ant ANT. At that time, the ant family had no stable shelter and that was a great challenge for them. It was ant ANT who designed the first anthill ever, she specifically did the interior design of the Queen ant's suite. She gained herself great respect among the ants and her name will never be forget in the land of ants... They specifically have a public holiday on her beha...." Dan-Bi narrated the story while Yo-Han listens attentively.

No-Eul who heard the narration cuts in before she could finish her sentence." That boring story of yours no one wants to hear it you know." In a joking manner.

Dan-Bi turned around to see No-Eul. She was both surprised and scared. ' I won't escape No-Eul's teasing anymore'. It's my fault for deprecating Yo-Han in front of No-Eul the other day. " No-Eul, you are here?" Dan-Bi finally asked.

No-Eul took a sit beside Dan-Bi not even asking if she could. "I ran away from the library because Seung-Heon would not let me be. You should get rid of him ASAP."

Upon hearing the name 'Seung-Heon' , Dan-Bi hissed, "Don't mention that name again, my stomach hurts when I hear that name". She didn't want to talk about Seung-Heon especially in the presence of Yo-Han. She wouldn't want him to misunderstand. She looked to see his expression, he was as calm as always. No sign of discomfort or envy.

She remembered the first day she saw him, he was not as approachable as he is now. Then he was like a Demon king but now he is like an Angel. Even though he still acts cold and aloof sometimes, he is more different now, especially when they are together.

No-Eul noticed how Dan-Bi looks at Yo-Han, 'There is excitement in those eyes, I have only seen this electricity in my friend once in her whole life. Is it true what Senior Ra-On said.? It can't be, if it is I would know, the two of us don't have secrets.'

'If she dare to keep a secret from me, we will stop being friends today.!'

"Dan-Bi, I can smell a rat, am I correct?" She looked at Yo-Han who is concentrating on eating and back at Dan-bi waiting for a reply. 'If it's true forget about our friendship'.

"What's that?... Rat, where? " Dan-Bi knew what she was talking about but she pretends that she doesn't.

No-Eul gave Dan-Bi a look that could be interpreted as ' Don't think that I can't see what is going on.'

"Let's talk about this later, I have to eat." Dan-Bi managed to avoid No-Eul's interrogation and went on eating.

Yo-Han had no idea of all that was going on, he just continued eating. He had stopped paying attention to his environment since No-Eul mentioned that idiot's name.

After school was over, No-Eul went to look for Dan-Bi. Immediately she left her classroom she met Dan-Bi on her way. 'Now I have you in my cage, you are not getting away this time.'

"Dan-Bi you are here already, let's go to my place." No-Eul said as she walked towards the building's exit, not waiting for Dan-Bi's reply.

"I...I am sorry ... I have to..." Dan-Bi stammered,

"No excuses, you backed off before, I won't let you do the same again today." No-Eul rejected her plea outrightly. ' I will not give you a chance to escape, you have some explanations to give'

Dan-Bi wanted to give in, she knew that the moment she had been avoiding had come. Suddenly someone came to her rescue.

"Dan-Bi you are here, I have an idea about the art project... Oh are you two going somewhere?" Pointing at No-Eul as he asked.

"Yes"

"No" . The two said at the same time.

" You have an idea already?, Yeah I can listen on our way" Dan-Bi tried to escape with Yo-Han. But No-Eul is so determined, she would not let her go just like that.

"You guys can discuss that later, Dan-Bi, grandma Dae wants to see you today, she ask that you come home with me today." No-Eul said sternly.

"If that's the case, we can always talk about the project any other time, you should go." Since the old woman asked for Dan-Bi, it will be rude if he doesn't let her go so Yo-Han unknowingly sold her to No-Eul.

'Hahahaha, victory is mine, Hahahaha' No-Eul did the Devil's laugh mentally.

Even Dan-Bi could not reject this time around, she thought Yo-Han had saved her but now he voluntarily handed her over to her doom.

"You heard that, let's go" No-Eul said as she stole Dan-Bi away.

The two went straight to the Dae family Home.
