"What have I done?"

Kwon Soo Ah said to herself as she recalled the scene at the stairs. It was all her fault. She had shoved Kang Yeon Doo down the stairs, and at the same time, sent Kim Yeol to the hospital. There was no hiding now. Everyone had seen what had happened. 

"I'm done for."

Soo Ah's world was crumbling right before her eyes. It felt as though her heart was being crushed to pieces. Soo Ah was trapped. She had nowhere else to go. Unlike all the other times Soo Ah had done wrong, no one was here to help her this time. Not even her mother could help her now.

"I hurt someone."

Soo Ah began to cry as she thought about her current situation. She had gotten what she wanted. First place. But for what cost? She cheated, she framed someone, she lied, and she hurt people. And in the end, she wasn't even happy. 

Her mother had told her that it was all okay. And she tried to tell herself that. But in her heart, she knew it wasn't. Soo Ah had done many horrible things to others, but this time, she knew she had gone too far. 

"I heard that Kwon Soo Ah cheated."

"She probably cheated all the other times too, to get second place."

"What's going on? It would be better if she was gone."

"I would kill myself if I were her."

Soo Ah could hear all the comments she was receiving from the other students. It was too much. She wanted it all to stop, for everything to be normal again. But that was impossible. Soo Ah was miserable. She was a prisoner. A prisoner of,

guilt.
