"Seeing her glaring at Sakura up and down gives me PTSD."
"Sh*tting on her is not the issue here. Just look at the way Kim Garam looked at her. As expected, it's just like a school violence perpetrator. Garam-ah, leave. Stop annoying us."
"She had to fake her compliments, but since she didn't feel anything towards Sakura, she couldn't think of anything. They've been together for months, and you're telling me she doesn't feel anything for her?"
"Didn't Kim Garam say she hated Sakura? That's what her classmates said."
"Why would she stare at someone and suddenly burst out laughing? If I were Sakura, I would be upset."
"What is she doing to an unnie seven years older than her?"
