1. It's really beautiful. 2. It's been a while since I last visited this place. Thankfully, my aunt allowed me to come here.

1. "I knew I'd find you around here." 2. "Why are you here?"

1. Wait, that voice sounds familiar.

1. I better check it. 2. "Leave me alone!" 3. "Please, just give me a chance." 4. Oh! Just a couple arguing?

1. "Can't you see? I've been keeping my distance for a reason. Don't expect any chance, I really don't like you!" 2. "Why, huh? What's the deal? Why don't you like me?" 3. "I just don't, okay? And I don't need to explain it to you."

1. Freya?! 2. No wonder the voice sounded familiar. What a small world. 3. So, that guy isn't her boyfriend,

1. But a suitor she rejected. 2. "Oh, really? So you're not giving me a chance, huh?"

1. "Let's see if your mind won't change if I kiss you!" 2. "What?! Are you crazy?!"

1. "Yeah! So just give in and go along with it, even if it's just this once."

1. "Are you out of your mind?! I don't want to, so let me go!" 2. "Sh*t! I have no choice but to force you!"

1. "To force you?" 2. "My sketchbook!" 3. Oh no! He's harassing her! I need to help her.

1. "B-but I'm scared."

1. "Explain yourself! Why did it take you so long to get home? Are you flirting with someone else again, huh?!" 2. "Argh! You're really drunk! Can you please stop hurting me, our child is watching us!"

1. "As if you'd care about your daughter!"

1. Enough! I promised myself I won't be a scaredy-cat anymore. 2. All I can do now is to help freya.

1. "I said get off of me or else I'm gonna kill you!" 2. "Haha! You're still putting on the tough act, huh?" 3. "Why are you overreacting?"

1. "Relax, it's just a kiss... Or maybe you're up for something more intense?" 2. "Hey! Let go of her!" 3. "Huh?!"

1. "Ellis?"

1. "I-I said let her go, or else I'll call the police!"

1. "Police?"

1. "Sh*t! Alright, alright! I'm outta here!"

1. Argh! I really hate that crazy bastard.

1. "Ahh... Are you okay, freya? Are you hurt?"

1. "I'm fine. Thank you."

1. "B-but, who's that guy, freya? I overheard earlier that you rejected him." 2. "When I saw what he did earlier, it's no wonder you're not into him."

1. "You nearly got into danger, freya. We should report this to the police and your parents." 2. "No!"

1. "It's not necessary. And could you please leave now?" 2. "W-why are you mad? I'm just"

1. "Trying to help." 2. "Help? Why would you"

1. "Even bother helping me when it's not your responsibility to do so?" 2. "Uhm, it's not about responsibility..."

1. "Responsibility. As long as I can help, I'll lend a hand." 2. "Just worried he'd come back again."

1. "Okay, I understand. But honestly, I'm fine."

1. "But honestly, I'm fine. You don't need to worry anymore. I can take care of myself."

1. "So you can leave now."

1. "Okay, ellis?"

1. "Are you liste-"

1. "Hey! Give me that!"

1. "Stop looking at it." 2. "Sorry about that, I didn't mean to. But why don't you want to show it? Your work is awesome." 3. "Show it? Why would I show it. This is just a messy sketch, nothing special."

1. "B-but I can tell from the girl in your drawing that she's covering up her pain with anger, right?" 2. "And yes, you're right. It's messy not because of the sketch but because of the meaning behind it. I think that makes your drawing more special, freya."

1. "...h-huh?"

1. "You're talking nonsense. Like I said, this is nothing. I just drew this out of boredom." 2. "Alright, I'm leaving now." 3. "Hold on! If that guy messes with you again, he's really gonna be in trouble with me."

1. "What? What can you do about it?"

1. "I'm gonna fight him and punch him in the face." 2. "Are you serious?" 3. "Of course I'm serious!"

1. "Even though I'm a girl, I can still fight like monny pakquiao."

1. "Are you laughing?!"

1. "Of course not!"

1. "But I heard it already, freya. That's why you can continue." 2. "I said, I didn't laugh. So can you stop now?" 3. "Show it to me, freya. Be true to yourself."
