Upset, Wook asks Eon how he could do this to him regarding his financial state and the accident that his father experienced. If he had known, it would come to this Wook continues he would have never gotten involved with Eon. Presently, after returning to school after two years Wook is 19 and thinks to work hard because this is the fastest way out of poverty. Wook studied all day and slept for only three hours every night to barely make it into the school. He questions whether Eon has to speak to him like he is and sitting in front of him Wook concentrated on just ignoring him. Even with no money left for the reference books, Wook's pride dissuades him from accepting textbooks from Eon. He had seen him on TV when working at his part-time job. Cleaning is a hobby of his and a recent interest is studying the stock market. Speaking to his dad, Wook assures him that school is good where the students and teachers are really nice. Telling his dad to go ahead and have his food Wook says to not worry about him. Finding Seo, he offers him money for the books he gave him. Eating together Wook mentions it is delicious but also is nervous while thinking he should have refused and given him the money. Eating tteokbokki, Wook contemplates how his mother used to make it for him. Noting how quietly Eon is eating Wook wonders if chaebols eat like this. Considering that Eon was fine when they ate Wook speculates why he got angry. Wook concludes it must have hurt Eon's pride being offered the small amount of money. Thinking how he is new, Wook also acknowledges that no one is class is even trying to talk to him but resigns himself to being fine with it. Remembering Seo and thinking how he is really good looking Wook also thinks he looks like a bad guy. His determination to excel at his studies and feeling he is being looked down on for being poor contribute to him avoiding others.
