At college

Chawoon paced back and forth, his mind racing. "Ayesha's one of the kindest people I know. Why would anyone do this to her? ..ahh...Who could possibly dislike her?"

Ameena sigh. "Hmmm...who could it be?"

He stopped suddenly, someone clicked into his mind . "Wait! There's only one person who could do this."

"Who?" Ameena leaned in, eager for an answer.

"Min Joon!" Chawoon exclaimed but his expression Flickered for a second he said under his breath 'I'm sure it's him... but he went this far...?!"

Ameena's eyes widened. "Yeah, you're right. It could be him!"

Chawoon nodded decisively. "Let's go."

At Min Joon's House

Chawoon knocked on the door. When Min Joon opened it, he looked confused. "Chawoon? What are you doing here?"

Without answering, Chawoon grabbed Min Joon's collar. "You did it right?" he demanded.

Min Joon looked startled. "What are you talking about? I didn't do anything."

"Don't act innocent. I know it was you!" Chawoon's voice was filled with anger.

Min Joon's expression shifted. He smirked. "Fine. I did it. So what? What can you do about it?"

Chawoon didn't hesitate. He punched Min Joon hard, fury etched on his face. "You won't get away with this!"

Rubbing his jaw, Min Joon sneered. "Do you really think punching me will change anything? I want Ayesha out of the college ..and even out of this country!"

"You......!" Chawoon raised his fist again, but Ameena grabbed his arm.

"Stop," she said firmly. "We'll prove he's guilty. That'll be the biggest punch to him."

Min Joon laughed mockingly. "Oh, I'm so scared~! ..
Let's see how you manage to do that." He winked at them as they turned to leave.

"Bye~ he called out, his voice dripping with sarcasm.

Outside the Building

Chawoon slammed his foot against the wall, frustration burning in his eyes."I knew it... that jerk," he hissed through clenched teeth.

As they walked away from the building, tension still clinging to the air between them, chawoon muttered, "So, how are we going to prove it?"

Ameena's brows furrowed in thought, her pace slowly."We'll need evidence," she said firmly. "It's the only way. But... how do we find it?"

Chawoon sighed in frustration. "I don't know.

Ameena brain click the idea "wait! "the camera in the classroom yeah!..."it will help us"... Her eyes got a spark...

Chawoon sighed and replied
The classroom cameras don't work."

Ameena looked at him, surprised. "How do you know that?"

"One of the professors mentioned it once," Chawoon replied.

Ameena paused, then said, "Alright, if the cameras don't work, we'll have to ask someone who was in the classroom. Maybe someone had saw him."

"I doubt it," Chawoon said, shaking his head. "But it's worth a try."

He pulled out his phone and typed into the class group chat, asking if anyone had seen anything suspicious. They waited, hoping for a response that would bring them closer to the truth.

At footpath

Ji Won was sitting on a bench by the roadside, her face buried in her hands as tears streamed down her cheeks. She couldn't stop crying...her heart ached because of Chawoon.

Just then, a sleek car pulled up in front of her. The driver's door opened, and out stepped Kim Min Kyu.

He had noticed her from the car and couldn't ignore the sight of her crying.

He walked over, concern etched on his face. "What happened? Why are you crying? Tell me, who made you cry?" he asked, glancing around as though searching for someone who might have hurt her.

Ji Won lifted her face to look at him as she saw Kim min kyu her tears fell down "Your brother," she said sobbing

Min Kyu blinked, confused. "What? Chawoon? He would never make you cry! Tell me, where is he?"

She shook her head, her voice trembling. "He's not with me... He is with the one he trusts and cares about nowadays.."

"What ?..Who?" Min Kyu asked.

"Ayesha," Ji Won said, her voice breaking as fresh tears fell.

"Ayesha? Who's Ayesha?" he asked, frowning.

Ji Won wiped her tears with her sleeve. "She's our classmate," she said quietly.

Min Kyu's expression shifted as he recalled something. "Oh... Is she the one Chawoon fought with Min Joon for?"

Ji Won nodded, her tears flowing again.

"Please don't cry," Min Kyu said, his tone softening. "Tell me what happened what Chawoon did?I won't forgive him if he hurts you."

Through her sobs, Ji Won looked up at him and confessed, without thinking twice "I've loved him since we were kids. But... I think he doesn't love me. He fell for her ."

Min Kyu blank for a second later sighed and handed her a handkerchief. "Here. Wipe your tears.

When she started wiping he asked her
"But let me ask you something.. did he ever tell you that he loves her?"

Ji Won shook her head. "No, but..i.."

"Then how can you be so sure?" he interrupted gently.

She looked at him, her tears pausing as his words sank in.

"And why haven't you told him how you feel?" Min Kyu asked, his voice encouraging. "I think you should tell him."

Ji Won sniffled and nodded slightly. "Hmm... You're right.i should not waste more time....Will you help me?" She looked at him with hopeful, puppy-dog eyes.

"Of course!" Min Kyu said with a reassuring nod . "Tell me what I can do for you .!" But his heart aches

The two of them leaned closer, whispering and brainstorming a plan for Ji Won to confess her feelings to Chawoon.

"Woah!" they exclaimed in unison when they finalized the idea, giving each other a high five.

Min Kyu looked at her with a teasing grin. "You've been crying so much, so I'm pretty sure you're hungry now."

Ji Won managed a small smile through her puffy eyes. "How did you know? Every time I cry, I end up starving afterward."

"It's a secret," he said with a smirk.

Ji Won chuckled softly, her spirits lifting as they walked off together

At restaurant

This is your favorite restaurant, right?" Min Kyu asked as they sat down.

Ji Won nodded, curious about what he was up to.

"Hmm," he said confidently, "and I know what you'll eat. Let me order for you."

Ji Won's eyes widened, surprise flickering in them."How does he know so much about me?" she wondered silently

After a minute, the waiter placed the dish in front of them.

He glanced at her, catching her dazed expression. With a small smirk, he said, "What's with that look? Come on, Eat!"

"Oh! Yes, I can't wait," she replied with a giggle, her mood lightening.

Min Kyu smiled, watching her reaction.

She glanced at him and thought, Oh, so this rude person knows how to smile? Interesting!!

Just then, his phone rang, interrupting the moment.

"Sorry, I have to take this," Min Kyu said as he got up and stepped aside to answer the call.

"Yes?" Min Kyu answered, his tone sharp.

"Sir, you have an important meeting now," the manager informed him.

"I know, but I'm busy. Reschedule the meeting," Min Kyu instructed firmly.

"But...ah..Okay, sir," the manager replied before the call ended.

Min Kyu returned to the table. "Sorry, that was my manager," he explained.

"It's no problem," Ji Won said with a smile.

After they finished eating, Ji Won looked at him gratefully. "Thanks, oppa, for this!" she said, her face glowing with happiness.

"If you thank me again, you'll have to come here alone next time," Min Kyu teased.

Ji Won burst into laughter. "Haha, okay! No thanks then!"

"Good," he said with a smirk, his voice low and teasing. "Now, let me drop you off."

Ji Won gave a small nod, adjusting the strap of her bag. Her gaze shifted down to the handkerchief in her hand the one Kim Min Kyu had handed her earlier.

She hesitated for a moment, then looked up at him. "Um... I'll return this after I wash it."

Min Kyu let out a quiet chuckle, his smirk lingering. "No need," he said casually. "You can keep it. And if you ever cry again... take this out, you'll remember me...so call me, okay? I'll be there to help you."

Ji Won blinked, caught off guard. Her fingers curled slightly around the soft fabric, and though she wasn't sure why, her heart skipped a beat.

She looked away quickly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "I don't cry that easily," she muttered.

Min Kyu just smirked again, like he didn't quite believe her.

Time skip

The night had settled in, cool and quiet. Streetlights flickered above them as Chawoon and Ameena stood near the park, both weary from the long, unanswered day.

Still no good replies. No witnesses. Just silence.

"No one saw anyone putting a bo*b in Ayesha's bag," Chawoon muttered, jaw tight with frustration. "Can't believe no one noticed anything."

Ameena shook her head slowly. "Then how do we clear her name?"

Chawoon didn't respond right away. He let out a slow breath, rubbing the back of his neck. "We'll figure it out tomorrow. Right now..."

He looked at her pointedly. "it's getting late....You haven't eaten. And I'm sure Ayesha hasn't either. Let's go ....I'll grab food for both of you."

Ameena hesitated. "You don't need to do that..."

"It's not a big deal," he said, already walking toward his car. "Come on. You both need something warm tonight."

They got in, neither speaking much as the car pulled into the road. The silence wasn't awkward it was heavy with thought. They didn't have answers yet, but they weren't giving up either.

At the Hostel

Ayesha was waiting for them and keep reciting

حَسْبُنَا اللَّهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلُ
Hasbunallahu wa ni'mal-wakeel.

When she had called Ameena earlier, she told her they found out who did this. That gave Ayesha a little hope.
Just then, the bell rang. Ameena and Chawoon were standing there."

"who did this?" Ayesha asked as soon as she saw them.

"Kim Joon," Chawoon replied a little sad as he was his friend.

"Yeah, who else could it be?" Ayesha said, her expression tense.

"Hmm, but we don't know where to get evidence," Ameena said, frowning.

"Do you have any idea how we can get evidence?" Chawoon asked Ayesha.

"No, but I believe in dua. That can really help," Ayesha said with quiet conviction.

"Dua? What's that?" Chawoon asked, confused.

"Dua is like a wish or a prayer. We ask Allah for help. He is the only one who can do anything and always gives us what's best for us," Ayesha explained gently.

"Oh, I understand," Chawoon murmured, nodding slowly, his eyes flickering with quiet thoughtfulness.

After a pause, he took a step back and offered a faint smile. "Alright... I'll get going now. We already know who's behind it we just have to prove it. So don't worry too much, okay Ayesha."

She nodded

He handed her a small packet wrapped with care, and his voice softened as he added, "Actually... Ameena told me what your favorite dishes are. I brought these for you both . Don't skip your meals, okay? You need to stay strong... and healthy."

Ayesha blinked, surprised, then lowered her gaze with a faint smile tugging at the corners of her lips. "Thank you," she whispered, her voice barely audible.

Ameena grinned, nudging Ayesha gently and whispered . "See? I was right!..he is a good boy "

Chawoon turned to Ameena. "Please, take care of both of you, alright?"

She nodded firmly. "I will."

He looked at them one last time eyes lingering just a moment longer on Ayesha and gave a reassuring nod. "I'll come by tomorrow. We'll figure out a plan together."

And with that, he left, his presence lingering in the air like a comforting promise.

At chawoons house

Chawoon was heading toward his bedroom when a voice called out from behind.

"Wait, Chawoon!"

He paused, turning around to see Kim Min Kyu standing in the hallway, his expression tight with anger.

"Yes? What happened, bro?" Chawoon asked, eyebrows raised in confusion.

Min Kyu didn't waste a second. "What did you say to Ji Won?"

Chawoon blinked. "Why? Did Ji Won say something to you?"

"No," Min Kyu said sharply. "Just answer the question."

Chawoon let out a short breath, trying to keep his voice casual. "Nothing."

But Min Kyu's eyes narrowed. "I know you were with Ayesha. Since when she becomes so important to you...Is she your friend?"

The sudden mention of her name caught Chawoon off guard. "Huh? How do you know her? Ji Won told you?"

Min Kyu didn't answer.

Chawoon hesitated, then shook his head. "No, she's just a classmate."

"Oh?" Min Kyu tilted his head, his tone hardening. "So she's just a classmate, and yet you're ignoring your best friend for her?"

"What are you talking about?" Chawoon asked, but Min Kyu didn't slow down.

"Ji Won was crying so hard because of you."And added "she catches the fever too"

That made Chawoon freeze.

"She...catches the fever?" he repeated, his voice lower now. A beat of silence passed. Then, suddenly determined, he turned on his heel. "Okay. I'm going. I'll be back."

He snatched his car keys from the table and rushed out the door.

Min Kyu stood in the hallway, watching the door swing shut behind him. A small, knowing smirk played at his lips.

"Knew it," he murmured to himself. "He'd run the moment he heard she was crying and got the fever"
