The next day starts with Rayoung going to the principle office. She is given notice that she is off with a warning and will have to be careful with her actions. Her father must have taken care of it but weirdly she didn't see Mark and Jooheon. She guesses to herself that they must have been released as well.

When she enters the classroom, it is quiet and everyone looks at her. She sits down and sees Jooheon is missing as well as Mark is now moved away from her, to the front of the class. Mark plugs in his earphones and closes his eyes, while the teacher tries to get him to participate into the lesson.

Rayoung realizes that Mark isn't even making eye contact with her. He texted her last night but she was too tired, she didn't know it would affect him. During class, she takes out her phone secretly and texts:
"Hi."

Mark sees there is a notification in his phone and sees Rayoung's message. He looks at Rayoung and waves at her. He smiles while Rayoung is annoyed that he is not replying. She thinks to herself, "Is he really not paying attention to me after that kiss...?"

The teacher calls her name a million times but gives up. Everyone laughs at her when the teacher screams, "Tak Rayoung!"

Rayoung snaps out of her daziness and replies, "Yes? Sorry, I have been not paying attention."

The teacher replies with strong attitude, "I can tell."

Rayoung looks down at her phone again and sees a message. She isn't happy with the response:
"cute face expression you had there for a second."

Rayoung looks up and gives a mean expression at Mark and pouts to herself. The whole day blooms into a day where everyone is talking trash about her. Ever since Seyoung spreads the rumors of her being a slut, being with one man and another, and another rumors, it seems like Mark has backed down from liking her.

She walks out of the school and a hand grabs her. She turns around and sees Mark smiling. One ear plug is in his left ear and Mark tilts his head cutely. Rayoung pushes him away and walks the other way. Mark immediately follows after her asking, "What's wrong Rayoung-ah?"

Rayoung turns around and replies, "Just! You kissed me and now you are backing away..."

Mark laughs to himself and pinches her cheeks. He wipes the tears running from her eyes and responds calmly, "Just that time is needed for people to get used to it. You've heard what they said earlier, I don't want that to happen even more for you. I like this distance, close yet far. It makes people wonder if we are really going out."

Rayoung pouts and answers back, "Who said I'm going out with you?"

Mark draws her closer to him and places his arms around her waist and tugs her up close to him. He whispers, "Would you like to go on a date?"

Rayoung blushes and turns red, hitting his shoulder. He smiles and releases her back down. She clears her throat and responds, "Hm, where are we going then?"

Mark holds her hand and responds, "Somewhere fun!"

Mark walks Rayoung home. It is around 7 at night and she just had the most greatest time of her life. Mark went to the arcade with her and released all their stress, and then eating spicy rice cakes and fish cakes. He leads her home and smiles at her.

Mark pouts for some reason, oddly making it obvious that his cheek is cold (just a sign that he wants a kiss). Rayoung looks around and quickly pecks him on the cheek. Mark laughs to himself and replies, "Aw, you are so adorable."

Rayoung pushes him far away and says, "Go home troublemaker. I'll see you tomorrow!"

Rayoung goes home and is comforted by her father, who was awaiting for her. Her mother smiles at her and she is starting to worry if they have seen her and Mark together.

"A blind date? Father I'm only in high school...," Rayoung pleads as her family is starting to finish dinner. Her father smiles and her mother is concerned as well, for this is her first news too.

Her father places his hands atop of the table and replies, "The son of Hangang Company suggested the idea first, since our families are going to hold ties soon for the shareholding system. They are excited to hear that you are also in high school, but it's only a first blind date. They won't push you to meet them unless you like the person."

Rayoung thinks about Mark and asks, "How about a different shareholding company? I know one..."

Her mother smiles and interrupts her, "I think it's a great idea, thinking that they aren't going to push it after that one date."

Her father agrees and their daughter complains, "I don't want to go on a blind date."

Her father's face darkens and he firmly responds, "You are going on a blind date just to see him. This is not a marriage suggestion. Stop complaining young lady."

Her father stands up and dismisses the butlers and maids. He then walks into his study room and shuts the door. Rayoung freaks out and places her head on the table. Her mother pats her on the hand and suggests, "You don't have to like him young lady okay?"

She, as too, walks away from the table and Rayoung reaches out her cell phone and texts Mark.
