The high school reunion was supposed to be a lively get-together to reminisce about their high school days which ended dramatically.  No one expected that things would turn out like this in the end and the cowardly, nerdy Luo Dan would react like this.

  In school, she used to be the outcast and the weakling in the class, however, after she debuted as a member of The Queens, everyone was shocked to see their shocking transformation. 

  That was the moment when Luo Wuying regretted rejecting Luo Dan that day. However, to boost his pride, he even made comments and posted about the same incident on SNS to prove how Luo Dan used to be a loser in high school and confessed to him with a letter, only to be rejected by him. 

  His post went viral in a short time and the people were shocked to know about this truth and wanted him to show evidence to prove his claim. However, before he could post the picture of the letter, the post he made and comments disappeared. 

  He didn't delete them but somehow everything disappeared from the internet. Not only that, shortly after this, his system got virus as well and all the data from the laptop disappeared in an instant, along with the only picture of the letter that he was left with. 

  He still doesn't know what happened that day and who did that to him, but because of this incident, everyone calls him a liar and blames him for spreading false rumors.

    A few classmates who came to support his claim got trolled on the internet for the same and in the end, they deleted their accounts as well.

  To her fans, Luo Dan was known as the innocent beauty but for them, she was still the same, ugly girl who got rejected by Luo Wuying in front of the whole class. 

  When they heard that Luo Dan is also attending the party, some were worried about her being changed after becoming successful but Luo Wuying was confident that he could still get her with his sweet words. 

  After all, she used to have a crush on him. 

  Things were going right in the start and Luo Wuying was confident to woo Luo Dan once again with his charming personality, but what changed by the end of the party? 

  ***

  Han Liang was waiting in the car that was parked in the parking lot of the hotel. 

  He was there when Luo Wuying got in his car and left the hotel premises. A frown appeared on his face to see the man left but rather than acting on his momentary emotions, he waited patiently. 

  While Han Liang was checking the time on his phone, his manager was getting impatient with every minute. 

  It's been a while since their meeting with the director and the producer ended and rather than leaving, Han Liang has told him to wait for some time more. 

  ' Why the hell are they wasting their precious time?'

    This time can be used for Han Liang to rest more or even better practice his dance routine for his upcoming album. 

  " Han Liang, is someone coming? What are we waiting here for?" The manager asked. However, his question went unanswered once again. 

  'This brat…' He gritted his teeth. 

  Han Liang was frowning and was wondering what's taking her so long when he saw the familiar figure approaching the car. 

  Without a delay, Han Liang got out of the car and ran towards Luo Dan who was looking for his car among so many cars in the open parking area of the hotel. 

  " Han Liang, what are you….at least wear your mask before going out." The manager shouted seeing him running out without taking his mask or car. 

  ' No doubt he gets into scandals frequently. He calls for them.'

  " Finally! I thought you got into trouble seeing how long it was taking you to come out." He said worriedly and removed his jacket to pass on to her to cover her shoulders. 

  Seeing her dull expressions, he didn't say anything earlier and said, " Wear it. It gets cold at night." 

  Luo Dan was surprised by his gentlemanly gesture and shyly took his jacket to wear over her exposed shoulders. 

  When Han Liang brought Luo Dan to his car, his manager was shooting lasers at them. So that was the reason for all the wait. 

  _

  A while ago, after the meeting with the producers, he left the private restaurant room for a moment to use the washroom and heard someone talking loudly in the corridor outside. 

  " Do you think that Luo Dan has done something to her……you know……body? She looks fuller than before. I just can't take my eyes off her." The man laughed while making vulgar gestures. 

  " If I had known before, I wouldn't have rejected her. Too bad that she didn't look like this before." He sighed. 

  " Did you see how she was talking to me earlier and even took the drink from me? I am sure she still likes me. I can see in her eyes dude." 

  " So what are you going to do now? I don't think she will come to you now. " the other man asked. 

  " Aye, don't be ridiculous. Girls like Luo Dan are easy to catch. Moreover, she is an idol, do you think she is as pure as she looks? I doubt it." He claimed while thinking about the ways to make Luo Dan follow him after the party. 

  While he was busy sharing his lewd thoughts with his friends, Han Liang was listening to all of this from afar. 

  He was trying to control his temper but upon listening to the last comments of the man, he couldn't bear it anymore. He was about to go out to beat the man to a pulp when a hand came out of nowhere and stopped him. 

  He turned around and was surprised to see Luo Dan holding onto his hands. He gritted his teeth to see her moist eyes that were brimming with tears. 

  " Leave my hand for a second. Let me teach this bastard a lesson." He said. 

  Luo Dan shook her head, " Don't do it. This will only make the situation even worse." she said meekly. She came out to use the ladies' room and wasn't expecting to hear such kinds of words from Luo Wuying. 

  She was hurt but not surprised upon remembering how he humiliated her back then. However, more than his words, what hurt her was, Han Liang has witnessed all of this. 

  Han Liang took a deep breath seeing how she was holding onto him tightly and handed her his handkerchief to wipe her tears. After she calmed down, he said, " Do you want me to teach him a lesson? I might look thin, but I have enough muscles to fight with him." 

  Luo Dan chuckled while sobbing and shook her head, " There is no need. It's my matter, so I should be the one dealing with it." she said in a low voice. 

  She wants to deal with it, but it's not as easy as it looks. She also knows that she was being cowardly by acting like this but it's not that simple as it looks. 

  ….

  Han Liang sighed seeing her looking down and held her by the shoulders, " Last time you told me to treat you like friends, so let me be frank here." 

  " You know that you're beautiful, right? You know that you deserve better and can do way better than this jerk, don't you?" He asked calmly. 

  She pursed her lips and nodded hesitantly. 

  " Then why are you listening to all of this? If you don't respond to someone's jerky behavior, they will keep looking down on you. You need to show them that you're not easy to be taken for granted."

  " They cannot insult you, no one can do that. Just be confident in yourself and show what you're, A Queen." He said seriously. 

  Luo Dan remained silent for a few moments and then added, " You like melo movies, don't you?"

  " Hmm? What does it mean?"

  " I mean……your dialogues, they're quite dramatic and cringy," she said, making him chuckle. Even at such times, she didn't fail to look down on his dialogue delivery. 

  " Well, you can call me dramatic but girls die to hear such cringe words from me." he boasts. 

  " Yeah, sure." Luo Dan said in a low voice, mocking his overly self-confidence. 

  Han Liang laughed seeing her smiling and said, " You came here for a party? After you're done, meet me at the parking lot outside. I'll give you a ride."

  " No, there is no need. Seriously." 

  " I am not asking you. I am telling you to meet me outside. Now go and show what you are, A Queen." He said and pushed her towards the lounge room. 

  After she left the corridor, he sighed, " Will she be alright?" He wondered.
