“I really don’t have any ill feelings towards you. It’s really a shame it’s come down to this” Krystal sighed. Yongsun couldn’t tell if she was acting or not.

“Just tell me what I have to do” Yongsun gritted her teeth.

“...I suppose birds of a feather do tend to stick together. You’re both the same, desperate to save the other” Yongsun didn’t say anything. She just kept her eyes locked on Krystal’s.

“The only way for me to get my revenge is if I take something just as precious away from her” Krystal smirked. 

Flashback.

“Byulyi, we both know...with a hand like that, she has no chance of becoming a surgeon”

Soo Jung listened carefully to what has transpiring outside of her hospital room door. She looked down at her stitched up hand, it still ached from when Dr. Kim had cleaned it up.

Soo Jung was angry, angry that Byul could throw her away so fast. Angry Byul had stood her up for their dinner, angry that Byul did all of this to her.
