Accusations

Hana wakes up from her sleep and sits up, yawning.

"Oh! I forgot to check last night!" She moves her pillow to find pieces of butterscotch candy. "My roommates are so kind, but they still won't confess... I'll figure which one of them it is someday!"


Hana is now having breakfast with Hye Rye and Hee Tae at a restaurant but is more focused on reading Romeo and Juliet.

"I know what you're doing so stop." Hye Ryung takes the book from her. "You're trying to get yourself to cry so you can get out of your punishment. It's not going to work so drink it."

Hye Ryung slightly pushes the glass of white milk towards a pouting Hana.

"But I hate white milk!" Hana whines.

"Well, you should have thought about that before you went wall climbing. Jeongmin told me that Hye Ryung nearly passed out when she saw you outside the window." Hee Tae says.

"Yah! I didn't pass out!" Hye Ryung screams, catching the attention of the other customers. "Why are you listening to that wench?!"

"To be honest she really didn't pass out... But she did look a bit-"

"Say another word about that time and I'll up the punishment to two weeks." Hye Ryung threatens her. "Now gulp it down."

Hana pouts again then starts drinking the milk, making Hee Tae chuckle.

"...Have things not improved with your parents? You barely talk about them anymore." He speaks.

"I still can't believe you went over to the house to give that old we- I mean your mom her birthday present. How old is she again?" Hye Rung asks.

"Teddy, it's rude to ask about a lady's age. And I had to send her present somehow." Hana replies. "I still speak to them sometimes... They did stop from setting me up with the president's son. Appa has started aiming to become president himself instead. But I think they're still secretly looking into guys to set me up with." She mutters.

"Jun Pyo..." Hye Ryung mumbles then shivers. "Out of all the potential suitors, they picked a man who is an alcoholic, druggie and well... a male sl-"

"Hye Ryung." He warns her in a stern tone.

"Fine, I won't say it, but you know what I mean." Hye Ryung sighs. "At least the ones I picked for Hana had some damn class."

"...Hey, Hee Tae?" Hana looks at him with a mischievous smile. "Are you busy on open house?"


The girls of the dorm are gathered in a room, planning for the open house.

"Upon people's entry, we'll draw for the lucky man. And we'll have nice and funny prizes ready so please encourage them to participate in the event. Many of the girls are pleased by what they hear except a certain someone who slams her hand against the table.

"We have open house only once a year. What are we? Six-year-olds? What's up with a folk dance every year?" Hye Ryung speaks in an annoyed tone.

"Sunbaenim." Kyung Ja speaks up. "The hall director wants it to be-"

"Look." Hye Ryung cuts her off. "The open house is an event for us. Tell her to stay out of it."

"I also don't think Pi should tell us what to do about this." Jeongmin says, taking Hye Ryung's side.

"...Fine." Kyung Ja replies before turning to Hana. "What do you think, Hana?"

"Something different, please." Hana answers but still remains more focused on working with an escape plan with her twin for Soo-ho.

"It still amazes me how Kyung Ja has such a soft spot for Hana." Seol Hui whispers to Young Ro who nods.

"Our dorm's angel has spoken." Hye Ryung smirks and stands up. "We'll go with disco."

Seol Hui turns on the radio, playing disco music and many of the girls begin cheering and dancing.

"Room 207." Bun Ok voices through the speakers. "Eun Young Ro."

"...Huh? Another call for me?" Young Ro asks, surprised.

She makes her leave as Hye Ryung smirks at a giggling Hana.

Hehe! The matchmaking finally begins!


"Hello?" Young Ro answers after putting the phone to her ear.

"Young Ro! Why didn't you tell me about open house?"

"He-Hee Tae?!" She squeaks out, surprised.

"How about I meet you at the entrance of the dorm? I'll be there at one!"

"Huh?!" Her eyes widened, still processing that her longtime crush wants to be her date for open house.

A giggling Hana hides in a corner, watching her plan in motion.


"There will be a game booth on the second floor so that floor will be the most crowded. It'll be okay if you come down there naturally since the dorm will be open to male students that day." Hana tells Soo-ho of the plan while showing him the map.

"But if male students can come in, the cops staking this place can come in too." He says with a worried expression.

"They'll need an invitation to come in so don't worry about that, my Soosoo." She gently pats his hand. "The ticket checking will be done by two, so you should come after that."

"Why though? Didn't you tell me that open house begins at one?"

"You remember Gye Seong? She will check the tickets and she knows your face." He nods understanding the situation. "Just focusing on getting better, okay?"

"...I'm sorry. This is your first open house and because of me..."

"Hey. There will be more open houses and I can invite you to the next one next year, okay?" She tells him giving him a sweet smile. "Besides, we've played games at the amusement parks and won each other prizes. You even gave me a dance and sung for me on our anniversary so that's enough for me!"

He slowly gives her his contagious smile and gently cups her face in his hands.

"What did I do to deserve you?"

"Hmm... I guess you were just lucky that I like paper airplanes!" She giggles.


When Hana enters the hall that leads to her room, she ends up seeing Hye Ryung, Jeongmin and Seol Hui coming out of their room with angry looks on their faces. She also notices Hye Ryung holding a ring box and Seol Hui holding a shoe box. Hye Ryung yells at people to get of their way and upon seeing Hana, her look softens a bit and grabs her hand.

"Did gizzard really take my ring and Seol Hui's shoes?" Hye Ryung asks Hana, making her walk alongside them.

"Oops, I forgot... I'm sorry! I was planning on confronting her about it, but I was trying to figure out how when had no proof! And I've been so focused on helping Soo-ho get out of here and-"

"It's fine, Hana. We'll get our stuff back." Hye Ryung reassures her and lets her hand go when they reach the end of end of the stairs. "Gye Bun Ok!"

The four girls walk into the telephone area, ignoring the audience behind them. Hye Ryung and the others stop when they see the hall director and bow.

"What's this about?" Ms. Pi asks.

Hye Ryung glares at Bun Ok before turning back to Ms. Pi. "My ring and Seol Hui's heels are gone."

Young Ro's eyes widened, recalling the night her and the others saw Bun Ok wearing the stolen times while they were helping Soo-ho hide. Ms. Pi then looks at Bun Ok with an unreadable expression before telling the Room 207 girls except Hana and Young Ro to come into her office. Hana contemplates for a moment before looking back Bun Ok who sits back down in her seat.

"Unnie." Hana says, catching Bun Ok's attention. "I know that I don't have proof but... If you have something that you know you shouldn't have taken, please return it."

"Yah..." Bun Ok slowly stands up and stares at Hana with a raised eyebrow. "Are you accusing me of-"

"Don't covet anything that isn't yours." Hana says making Bun Ok's jaw drop. "I've always seen you as a close friend, don't make me think less of you because of this."

"Is Bun Ok being a thief now?" One of the girls' whispers.

"Hana wouldn't lie." Another girl whispers.

Hana gently takes a hold of her twin's hand as the latter stares at Bun Ok with a disappointed look.

"What's that supposed to mean? Are looking down on-"

Bun Ok is interrupted by Ms. Pi yelling at the others. Bun Ok looks towards the door with a smirk. The other Room 207 girls come out of the office and Hye Ryung walks towards Bun Ok with an angry expression.

"Hana. Young Ro."

"Yes, unnie?" Young Ro asks since Hana remains silent.

"Could one of you tell her to give back my ring while I'm being nice?"

"Are you...saying that for me to hear?" Bun Ok asks, playing dumb about the situation.

"Listen to me." Hye Ryung mutters, getting into Bun Ok's space. "I've tolerated you for Hana's sake. But now? I won't hold back anymore."

Hye Ryung then throws the ring box into the bin and takes her leave. Seol Hui goes next to put her shoe box in the bin but struggles as it won't fit. She then decides to leave it on the desk and leaves along with Jeongmin.

"Unnie? Don't forget what I said." Hana says to Bun Ok. "Please return what doesn't belong to you and don't ever do anything like that again. Don't end up in a situation because of the consequences behind your actions and it could end badly for you. I'm saying this because I care, and I don't want you to end up hurt or even worse."

Bun Ok scoffs watching the twins go to follow the others.

"That little-"

"Bun Ok!" Ms. Pi yells, startling Bun Ok. The latter shrinks back seeing Ms. Pi's intense glare on her. "Come in. Now."


During the night, Hye Ryung is unable to sleep and sits up, removing her sleep mask.

"I can't sleep. What's wrong with her? She must've gone insane. How could she take the thief's side?"

"Tell me about it." Seol Hui agrees, also sitting up from her bed. "She searches our room all the time. Why won't she search Bun Ok's room too? I'm sure her room's full of stuff she's stolen."

Jeongmin is the next to sit up. "Do you think Bun Ok has something on Ms. Pi?"

"Come on. I doubt it." Young Ro says, sitting up. "You know Ms. Pi would never let anyone take advantage of her... Well, maybe expect Hanny. She has a soft spot for her."

"Huh?" Hana sits up and blinks her eyes repeatedly. "Nuh-huh! She gives me stern lectures and pinches my ear! What do you mean she has a soft spot for me?!"


Hana does the secret knock on the fourth floor's attic and Soo-ho opens the door.

"Good morn-" She squeals and quickly covers her eyes with her arm. "You did that on purpose!"

"I was working out, Hana." Her shirtless and sweating boyfriend explains with a smirk. "You've seen me do it before."

"That's not the point! You could have at least put a shirt on before you came to the door! What if one the girls had been with me?!" She whines, stomping her foot.

"You and the girls had breakfast with me earlier." He says, moving her arm from her eyes. "And Hye Ryung made it perfectly that her and the others would be busy shopping for new clothes today. So that leaves just you now."

"Did Teddy set me up?!" She mumbles, looking away from her man and hands him the lunchbox. "Look, I came here to tell you that I have to meet with my parents... Don't overstuff yourself from the lunch. Don't forget to eat butterscotch. Cuddle with Bambi if you miss me too much. And you have my favorite blanket and scarf if you get cold... I'll see you later, okay?" She tells him and kisses his cheek.

She then gives him a small smile, but he can tell that it's fake. When she begins to walk away, and an idea comes to him. He hurries back into the attic to grab something and goes back outside.

"Hana-ya." He calls out to her and after she turns around, he holds up her snowdrop snow globe and shakes it. He succeeds in putting a real smile on her face.


Hana sits on the couch across from the one that her parents are sitting on in the living room. The family sits in an uncomfortable silence until Hana is the one to break it.

"Eomma... Appa. I've asked to meet today because I have something I'd like to share something with you both."

"Before you say anything..." Tae-il lets out a big sigh. "Hana. I'm sorry if we gave you the impression that we don't care for your happiness. But we honestly do want what's best for you. If you want to focus more on school, that's fine. And since I'm focusing more on the election, finding a husband can happen later. We can do a better job in looking into your potential suitors-"

"I'm dating and it's been going on for six months." Hana blurts out.

"And you could pick what you're looking for in... Wait, what?"

"Sweetie... Is this the same man you mentioned back then?" Seong-sim asks.

"What?" He looks back and forth between his daughter and wife with a dazed look. "What are you two talking about?"

"Yes. Our relationship has been going really well and I would like for you two to support us."

Before Seong-sim can reply, Tae-il suddenly jumps up from the couch, startling the women.

"WHAT?!" He screams. "You're dating?! For six months?! Why wasn't I told about this?!"

"Honey, please sit back down and calm down." Seong-sim says, patting her husband's arm.

"How am I supposed to calm down?!" He yells, sitting back down. "Hana, who have you been seeing? What family does he come from? Call him. Tell him to come here now. I didn't allow him to date my precious daugh-"

Seong-sim suddenly smacks her husband's arm, shocking him.

"Honey, our daughter mustered the courage to tell us about this so we could at least listen! You and I did say we would try to do better." 

"I... I guess you're right... I do miss having our father-daughter golf days." He mumbles.

Seong-sim then goes to sit next to her daughter and places her hand over hers. 

"Hana... How did the first date go? What's he like? And...he must be very happy seeing how this has been going on for six months?"

Hana's eyes begin glistening with tears. "...Eomma."

"If he's making my sweet daughter happy, who would I be to take that from her?" Seong-sim gives her daughter a wide smile.

"Hana... If he's capable in providing for the both of you, mainly you then... Maybe I could give him a chance. But that still doesn't mean I accept him into our family. I'll just give him a chance for now." He mutters.

Hana looks at her parents with a surprised look and thanks them both with a tearful smile.

I actually had intentions of finishing episode three up with this chapter but would have it would have been waaaay too long! So, it should be done by the next chapter!

So... We got a little bit of Hana vs Bun Ok. Now I'm going to be honest... I hate Bun Ok. She was just stirring up drama for what? And she got away with too much of her bs. So, guess what? It's not happening here. A lot of these characters are not going to put up with Bun Ok's nonsense, especially Hye Ryung and Kang Moo. I know that man's patience was wearing thin because of her. She will get called out of her bs. She will get her karma.

Not many Soona moments, I did plan having more but like I said above it would have been too long. Sorry! And a part of me wanted this chapter to focus a bit more of the girls. But the few moments they did have, they're so precious!🥺

Look at Hana playing matchmaker! How the tables have turned since "The Date" chapter!😂

Now her parents? How was it? I decided to have a little bit of happiness for our girl from her parents before things go bad. Writing her parents is the biggest challenge in this book because of how they are in the show.

Also, I kinda like writing Hana like this and maybe it's because I'm channeling her wanting to be an actress into it. Usually if you've read my other books, most of my ocs are known to be the ones who will call others out on their bs. But Hana on the other hand? She's a big sweetheart and the dorm's angel and I want to stay true to that...while making her multitalented at the same time.
