5:09when they accepted me. Then you're brilliant. Stop it. [laughter] You're making me feel shy. I'm serious. [music] How sweet. It must be nice getting into a school like this on scholarship. I suppose it's the closest you'll ever get to this kind [music] of life. What's
5:31your problem? You must be the new student and you must be the person nobody asked for. Do you know who you're talking to? >> No. And I'm enjoying that. [laughter] Some people should know their place. Ria, do you know why you're better than her? Because you earned your place here.
5:54You earned your education without asking your parents to pay a dime. [music] [music] Now if we increase the temperature,
6:19what [music] is wrong with you? Seriously, ma'am, just leave him. You're allowing [music] him to sleep. Miss Maya, please focus on your lesson.

8:55>> You talk [music] too much. >> I hate you. >> Oh my god, I'm late.
9:16Kyle. Kyle, are you in there? Kyle, come out. >> Oh, you're actually joking. I've been standing here forever. >> You've been in there for over 30

9:59>> I will. Sorry again. Girl, you're late. Don't remind me what happened. Kyle. [music] Kyle? That idiot spent almost the entire morning in the
10:20bathroom. Wait, don't tell me Kyle is your roommate. [gasps] It's a very long story. Come on. Come [music] on. We're already late. Who can tell me what osmosis is? Maya.
10:40>> Um, the movement of water from a higher concentration to a lower concentration. >> Not quite. >> The movement of water molecules through a selectively permanable membrane from a region of higher water potential to lower water potential. >> Correct. [music] >> Okay. So, that's the answer. >> You should get someone to tutor you before the next test.

11:22>> Nice to meet you both. If you don't mind, we could study together after class. I can help with biology. >> I'd appreciate [music] that. You me stay away from Kyle. Excuse me. [music] Is it my fault I'm
11:43living in the boy's hostel? Go talk to the school administration. And please don't drag me into your [music] family drama. Kyle isn't even my type. You didn't come to biology today?
12:04[music] >> No. >> Why? >> Didn't feel like it. >> Your parents are investing so much for your schooling. They want you to learn, to build a future, [music] to make the most of this chance. >> I'm not in the mood for election right now. [music] >> Whatever.
12:31Hello. Where were you today? >> School. Don't lie to me. Your teacher contacted the school administration again. You missed another class. You are not some ordinary student, Kyle. You are the heir to Shiao group. >> I know. >> Then start acting like it. >> He's only 18, Jen. >> This is exactly why he behaved this way.
12:52>> You keep protecting him >> and you keep treating him like an employee. He has responsibilities. [music] >> He's your son before he's your heir. >> I hope everything is okay with me.

20:13>> Hi everyone. [music] >> I just wanted to remind everyone that Sophia's birthday party is this Saturday. Everyone is invited. Well, almost everyone. I still don't understand why [music] school here feels like it never ends.
20:33>> You've been here for a month. >> I know. >> Then [music] adapt. >> You're annoying, >> Kyle. >> Oh, I'll leave you two. >> What do you [music] want? >> I wanted to remind you about Saturday. >> I'll be there.
20:54>> You should. You're my fiance. >> Don't call me that. But you are. >> I never agreed to this. [music] >> Our parents did. >> Exactly. Our parents. >> You've never even given us a chance. [music] >> Why would I give a relationship a chance when I don't want it? You deserve someone who actually wants you. [music]
21:14Stop clinging to me. H [music] better.
21:36>> What are you doing? >> I'm cooking. >> You remember what happened last time? Well, >> let this be the last time you cook. >> Excuse me? >> I'm ordering something. >> What do you want? [music]
21:57>> Anything. >> That's not an answer. >> Fine, whatever you want. [laughter] >> You're too loud. >> Then don't watch with me. [music] >> [laughter]
22:28>> Guys, what? I'm thinking we should skip class. >> What? >> Why? Sophia's birthday is coming. We need outfits. No, absolutely not. >> Come on. >> No. >> Please. >> No. >> Please, >> Maya. >> Please. Please. Please. Please. She's
22:50not going to stop. >> You two are trouble. >> So, that's a yes. >> Fine. [music] This one. [music]
23:12Absolutely not. Okay, [music] you actually look good. That's [music] the one.
23:36>> [music] >> Take this off. No. Thank you [music] all for coming. And of course, I'm especially happy that my fiance is here.
23:59>> Come with me. I told you not [music] to call me that. >> Why are you embarrassed? >> I'm [music] not embarrassed. >> Then what's the problem? >> I'm not your fianceé cuz I never chose [music] this. Our families arranged it. That's all.
24:21>> And you think you [music] can just ignore it? >> Yes. And stop calling me your fiance. >> [music] [laughter] [sighs] >> Ria, I'm okay. >> Are you sure?
24:42>> It's just my time of the month. Oh, >> do you need anything? >> Maybe a pad and something for the cramps. We'll get it. >> I'll come with you. >> Stay here. We'll be back. Oh, I don't remember inviting you. It
25:05was announced that everyone was allowed to come. [laughter] [gasps] Everyone, not charity cases like you. You should be grateful. Girls like you don't usually get invited to places like this. Actually, I'm surprised you even came. I [music] I don't understand. Of course you don't. Maybe she thought the
25:26invitation came with dinner. [laughter] Maybe you're right. Here. What? [laughter] Hold this. What's going on here? Oh, [music]
25:49are you here to defend her again? You really have a habit of involving yourself in things that [music] don't concern you. >> Don't ever treat my friend like that again. >> You actually slapped me. >> And I'll do it again if you touch [music] her again. You arrogant little >> Maya.
26:11>> Enough. >> Let go of me. >> You're making this worse. >> Look at what she did to her. Kyle, she slapped me. >> What happened? >> She was humiliating Ria because she's on [music] scholarship. Humiliating? Maybe your little friend
26:32should learn her place before you keep embarrassing yourself trying to defend her. >> What did you say? >> Maya, >> let me go. >> Come on. Let's get you somewhere quiet. >> Why would she do that? She thinks she
26:52can just treat people [music] however she wants. >> You didn't have to hit her. >> What? >> I think I twisted my ankle. >> Can you walk? >> Yes. >> Get on. [music] >> No.
27:13>> Then go. Fine, fine, fine, fine. Don't drop me. >> I won't. >> Are you okay now? >> Yeah. Thank you for staying with me.
27:33>> You don't have to thank me. >> I'm just worried about Maya. >> Why? [music] >> What if they expel her? She gets angry so easily. I know she was trying to defend me, but I don't want her to lose her place here because of me. >> Ria, listen [music] to me. You didn't ask Sophia to bully you.
27:51>> I know, but Maya wouldn't have hit her if she wasn't defending me. >> Maya made her own choice. She's going to be fine. >> I just don't want her to leave. This place was her dream. >> Then let's trust that she won't lose it. >> Don't cry. I'm not crying.
28:13>> Sure. >> Aiden, what are you doing? >> It's cold. >> Thank you. >> He smells so nice. Too bad he already likes Maya. It's just
28:36stupid feelings. They'll go away [music] by morning. I'll be fine. >> Ah, >> what? >> That hurts. >> I'm barely touching it. >> Well, apparently you're barely touching it hurts.
28:58>> Slowly. Slowly. >> You're very dramatic. >> I'm injured. >> You need to be more careful or I'll call your mother. I'm telling her you got into a fight. >> Come on. You don't even have my mother's phone number. >> Are you sure? >> Wait. >> How do you even have my mom's number >> from your phone?
29:21She told me to watch you and take good care of you. >> Oh my god. Is that why you have her number? Ow. You're annoying. We're going to regret not studying when the exams come. >> Can we not talk about exams right now?
29:44>> Actually, [music] we need that chemistry reference book. >> I'll come with you. >> No, it's fine. [music] You guys keep studying. I'll be back. >> Are you sure? >> Yes. She'll be back in 5 minutes. Where would they even keep this thing?
30:14Hello. You really should [music] learn when to stay out of other people's business. What did you want? You embarrassed me at my own birthday party. You embarrassed [music] yourself. You took her fianceé. I didn't choose to stay in the boy's dorm. The school put me there. >> Stop saying that.
30:35>> It's the truth. Let's go. >> Open the door. Open up, Sophia. If I catch you,
30:58>> she's been gone for hours. >> I'll call her. >> She left her phone. >> Maybe she went back to the hostage. >> She wouldn't leave without [music] telling us. >> Let's look for her. >> Maya, >> she is not here.
31:23Maya. Maya. >> Let's check the classroom. >> She's not here. >> It's okay. Don't cry. Let's check the garden. [snorts]
31:45Maya. Maya. [screaming] Maya, where are you? >> Hello, >> Maya. >> She told us she was going to get a book from another library. >> Which library? >> Someone please open this stupid door.
32:13Hello. Help. Today. Today I go show that girl. Say I [music] be Niga. Maya, let me go. >> You're just going to make this worse for yourself. >> I don't care. >> Do you want to get expelled? >> Do you want to leave the school?
32:34>> I'll take care of her from here. >> Please don't let her do anything crazy. >> I'm trying. >> Put me down. Your fiance [music] is insane. She locked me inside a room. You can't even control [music] your own
32:55fianceé. >> She is not my >> Whatever. If I catch Sophia again, I'm going to >> Maya. >> What? [music] >> Watch where you're going. >> Don't tell me what to do. I'm angry right now. I know where I'm
