She emphasizes to Jina that she herself and Jina belong to the different world. And shes been rejecting sex with her boyfriend before they get married. The relationship between the two even gets worse when Hyemi finds out that her sexually frustrated boyfriend has gone to Jina and has had sex with her. ........
