Will this newcomer lend a helping hand to Hana, or will they ignore her just like the others? Let’s dive right into Winter Before Spring Chapter 6-15.
Winter Before Spring Chapter 6: New Student
Winter Before Spring Chapter 6 begins with Hana returning to school after her winter vacation. Though it’s spring, she feels as depressed as ever about going back. A luxurious new car parks in front of the school, drawing the attention of all the students. In the next scene, we discover that it’s the girl who saved Hana last time. The driver asks the girl if she’s excited for the new school year, but her gaze shifts to Hana as she walks inside the building.
Once in the classroom, Hana takes her seat, feeling isolated as other students chatter around her. She wonders if they are talking about her and feels increasingly burned out, wishing to go home soon. The teacher arrives and, after a brief welcome, announces that a new student will be joining the class.
Although Hana can barely focus due to a headache, she catches a glimpse of the new student just before fainting, hearing her introduce herself as Han Yura. In the following scene, Hana awakens to someone asking if she’s okay; she opens her eyes to see Yura. Startled, she quickly sits up and apologizes, but Yura dismisses her apology with a shrug and introduces herself again. Hana reciprocates, feeling awkward as it’s her first interaction in school since the incident. The teacher then approaches and asks Hana if she would show Yura around the school, concluding the Winter Before Spring Chapter 6.
Chapter 7: Tour Guide
Winter Before Spring Chapter 7 begins with Hana giving Yura a tour of the school. As they walk, Hana can’t help but notice Yura’s height and finds her slightly intimidating. When Yura catches Hana staring, she asks if there’s something on her face. Overcome with awkwardness, Hana quickly replies no, trying not to seem creepy. She awkwardly compliments Yura on her beautiful hair but soon worries that Yura might misinterpret her words. To Hana’s surprise, Yura accepts the compliment and returns it, saying Hana is pretty. Taken aback by the comment, Hana feels a mix of surprise and embarrassment as they continue to their next destination.
Lonely
They arrive at the library, where Yura is impressed by its size and asks if they have any action books. Hana confirms they do and is pleasantly surprised to learn that Yura enjoys the action genre. After some time, the tour wraps up, and Yura thanks Hana for showing her around. Just as Hana is about to ask her something, they are interrupted by a group of girls eager to befriend Yura. One girl tells Yura that she’ll treat her since she’s a transfer student. When Yura asks if Hana can join them, the girl shrugs it off, saying that Hana is busy. Reluctantly, Hana confirms she is, and while Yura seems suspicious, she doesn’t question it and leaves with the other girls.
As they walk downstairs, Yura accidentally bumps into Inha, who scolds her to watch where she’s going. Yura offers a curt apology and moves on. In the following scene, Hana sits alone in class when the same girl who wanted to befriend Yura and often bullies her warns Hana to stay away from Yura. Winter Before Spring Chapter 7 concludes after class, when Yura approaches Hana to talk, but Hana blatantly ignores her, leaving Yura confused.
Winter before Spring Chapter 8: Class PE
Winter Before Spring Chapter 8 begins with PE class as the teacher announces they will practice their throws for netball. She instructs the students to pair up, but Hana finds herself alone, with no one willing to partner with her. One of Hana’s bullies asks Yura to pair with her, prompting Hana to approach the teacher and report that she doesn’t have a partner. The teacher assigns her a partner named Dahyeong, who clearly is not pleased about being paired with Hana.
As they practice for a while, one of the girls complains that they don’t have enough balls. The teacher then asks Yura if she could accompany her to fetch more equipment. While Yura and the teacher are away, Inha seizes the opportunity and suddenly throws a ball at Hana. Surprised by the unexpected throw, Hana fails to dodge it, and the ball hits her. Inha and her lackeys burst into laughter, and while Inha has her back turned, Hana retaliates by throwing the ball at her, hitting her squarely on the head. Furious, Inha approaches Hana with the intent to slap her, but just then, she sees Yura and the teacher returning. With a scowl, Inha decides to leave Hana alone as Yura looks on, perplexed by the commotion.
After the game, the girls change back into their uniforms, and it is then that Yura notices the bruises on Hana, concluding Winter Before Spring Chapter 8.
Winter Before Spring Chapter 9: Doubt
Winter Before Spring Chapter 9 begins with Hana and Yura in class when Hana suddenly asks the teacher if she can go to the infirmary. Yura grows suspicious, noting that Hana has been visiting the infirmary frequently in recent days. Though she wants to help, Hana keeps ignoring Yura whenever she tries to talk to her, which only heightens Yura’s concerns, especially as she catches a glimpse of Inha laughing with her friends.
In the next scene, Hana enters the infirmary, where the nurse is less than pleased to see her again. Hana explains that she tripped and needed some bandages. The nurse complies but advises her to be more careful. Hana thanks her and leaves, but the nurse can’t shake her suspicion about Hana’s recent behavior.
Meanwhile, Hana walks towards her class when she spots Inha and her group nearby. In a panic, she quickly hides, not wanting to be seen. She holds her breath, hoping they will pass, but to her dismay, Inha catches sight of her hiding.
The chapter shifts to Yura, who is walking with her classmates when she hears Inha shouting curses at someone. As Yura turns to investigate, she realizes that Inha and her group are harassing Hana, igniting her fury, concluding Winter Before Spring Chapter 9.
Winter Before Spring Chapter 10: Saviour
Winter Before Spring Chapter 10 begins with Yura stepping forward to defend Hana from Inha and her group. Outraged, Yura pulls Hana away from them and grabs Inha by the shirt, demanding to know what she is doing. Inha, equally furious, retorts that they were just joking around. When Yura sees Hana’s injuries, she scoffs at Inha and shoves her to the ground. Inha retaliates with a string of profanities while Yura leads Hana to the infirmary.
Finding the infirmary empty, Yura takes it upon herself to treat Hana’s injuries. She makes Hana sit on a stool and begins her work. Hana, wary and defensive, tells Yura to stay out of her business, but Yura glares at her, silencing her objections. Despite Yura’s intentions, Hana fears that their classmates will alienate Yura for helping her. As Yura treats Hana’s wounds, she asks if this bullying was the reason Hana had been ignoring her. When Hana doesn’t answer, Yura realizes the truth: Hana has been bullied by their classmates, and no one has stepped in to help her. Yura apologizes for making Hana feel uncomfortable, and Hana expresses her gratitude once Yura finishes treating her.
Worries
Just then, the nurse walks into the room. Seeing that the girls have managed on their own, she asks them to sign the logbook. After Hana and Yura sign, the nurse notices Hana’s frequent visits to the infirmary and grows suspicious that she may be a victim of bullying.
Later that night, Hana lies in bed, reflecting on recent events. Yura is the only one who has shown her kindness, yet Hana wonders if Yura might have ulterior motives like her former friend Min-ji. She recalls how one of her bullies warned her to stay away from Yura and worries that Yura might get hurt for being involved with her. However, she soon realizes that Yura is nothing like her former friends, especially remembering how Yura stood up for her against Inha. Guilt washes over her for having ignored Yura all this time. Winter Before Spring Chapter 10 concludes with Hana crying, wondering if Yura might give her another chance.
Winter Before Spring Chapter 11: Something In Common
Winter Before Spring Chapter 11 begins with Hana walking to school. As she passes a convenience store, she goes inside and browses the items, contemplating what Yura might like. Later, at school, Hana clutches a pack of chocolate in her hand, nervous about how to give it to Yura. As Yura approaches, Hana hesitates, but when Yura walks past her, she impulsively grabs her hand and gifts her the chocolate as a token of gratitude for yesterday’s help. Yura beams with happiness, thanking Hana for the thoughtful gesture. Unbeknownst to them, Min-ji and Hana’s bullies witness the exchange; one bully is furious that Hana has ignored her warning. Min-ji feigns sadness about the situation, claiming it makes her uncomfortable, while her friends offer comfort.
During break time, as Yura exits the classroom, one of the bullies confronts her, warning her to stay away from Hana, calling her a disgusting person. Yura counters boldly, asserting that it’s more disgraceful to talk behind someone’s back. The bully is taken aback by Yura’s response, and Yura shoves her hand away, warning her to keep her distance.
In the next scene, Hana is at the library, engrossed in a book when Yura suddenly appears behind her. They strike up a conversation and quickly discover they share a mutual love for the same book. Winter Before Spring Chapter 11 concludes with Hana and Yura animatedly discussing their favorite read, unaware that someone lurks in the shadows, watching them.
Winter Before Spring Chapter 12: Hate
Winter Before Spring Chapter 12 opens with Inha and her group approaching where Hana and Yura are seated. Inha mocks both of them contemptuously, ridiculing their passion for books, prompting laughter from her friends. Yura, furious, stands up and confronts Inha, questioning why she feels the need to bother them. She defiantly states that she’s not intimidated by “boring girls” like her. Enraged by Yura’s response, Inha storms away, flanked by her lackeys.
In the next scene, Yura helps Hana place a book on a high shelf. Hana thanks her, but Yura notices that she seems shaken by the earlier encounter. Yura assures Hana that Inha and her gang won’t bother her again, vowing to take care of it. Hana, however, responds that Yura doesn’t need to do that and apologizes on Inha’s behalf. Yura retorts that Hana has nothing to apologize for, as she’s done nothing wrong.
The bell rings, signaling lunchtime. Hana thanks Yura again for her help and wishes her a good lunch, to which Yura reciprocates. As Hana walks away, Yura is suddenly reminded of someone.
Meanwhile, as Hana walks, her teacher stops her, expressing concern over her slipping grades. Inha notices the exchange and immediately grips Hana, determined to prevent her from revealing the truth. In a calculated move, Inha lies to the teacher, claiming that Hana’s grades are suffering because of their friendship and assures her that Hana is doing fine. The teacher, oblivious to the manipulation, expresses relief that the two are friends and urges them to study harder before leaving.
Winter Before Spring Chapter 12 concludes with Inha menacingly pushing Hana against the wall, intimidating her as she sneers that everyone hates her for what she has done.
Winter Before Spring Chapter 13: Track
Winter Before Spring Chapter 13 begins with Inha intimidating Hana, taunting her that everyone hates her. The scene shifts as Hana walks through the corridor and notices Yura by the vending machine. Yura spots Hana and beams, glad to see her. She asks if Hana has already had lunch, but Hana hesitates and lies, which Yura can easily discern.
Yura invites Hana to join her in the courtyard, and Hana agrees. They find a bench where Yura surprises Hana with a box of strawberry-flavored milk. Flustered by the unexpected gift, Hana offers to pay for it, but Yura insists that it’s a treat for her being a tour guide. Gratefully, Hana accepts and thanks her.
Curious, Hana asks Yura if she has joined any clubs. Yura reveals that she joined the track club after the members pressured her to do so. Surprised, Hana praises Yura, noting that she must be talented for the club to recruit her personally. Yura then invites Hana to watch her practice, and though hesitant at first, Hana ultimately agrees.
After class, Hana heads to the field and sees Yura surrounded by a crowd of admirers. Realizing just how popular Yura is, Hana worries if Yura would still want to be friends with her, knowing that she is hated by everyone at school. Winter Before Spring Chapter 13 concludes with this uneasy thought weighing on Hana’s mind.
Winter Before Spring Chapter 14: Cleaning Duty
Winter Before Spring Chapter 14 opens on the following school day. Yura arrives and sits beside Hana, wishing her a good morning, which Hana reciprocates just as the teacher enters the classroom. Before starting the lesson, the teacher assigns cleaning duty to Park Hana and Nam Min-ji. Hana is taken aback, and Min-ji’s fury is palpable upon hearing the news. Both girls are displeased at the prospect of being partners.
As the day unfolds, school eventually ends, and Yura bids Hana goodbye before leaving. In the next scene, Hana finds herself cleaning the classroom alone, with Min-ji nowhere in sight. Though she is relieved that Min-ji is not there, she acknowledges that the cleaning will take time.
Meanwhile, Yura is outside the school searching for her mother when she spots Min-ji with her friends loitering outside. Confused, Yura wonders why Min-ji is hanging around instead of fulfilling her cleaning duty. Approaching Min-ji, Yura asks why she isn’t on duty, but Min-ji, visibly annoyed, responds that Hana can handle it alone. She then insults Hana, igniting Yura’s fury. In a fit of anger, Yura grabs Min-ji by her bag and drags her back toward the school.

Winter Before Spring Chapter 15: Not So Lonely
Winter Before Spring Chapter 15 begins with Min-ji shouting at Yura to let her go, but Yura refuses until they reach the classroom. With a swift motion, she throws Min-ji inside and demands that she pick up the broom and start cleaning. Yura threatens to tell the teacher that Min-ji neglected her duty, prompting a reluctant agreement from Min-ji, who wants to avoid a bad remark.
Meanwhile, Hana watches the exchange in surprise as Min-ji inwardly curses Yura and glares menacingly at Hana. However, Yura grabs Hana by the hand and leads her out, declaring that Min-ji can handle the cleaning by herself. This action takes Min-ji aback, and she shouts for Hana to return.
Positive Outcomes
In the next scene, Yura and Hana walk together, still holding hands. Hana worries about whether it was right to leave Min-ji like that, but Yura reassures her, saying that Hana has already done her part. Hana hears Min-ji’s shouts in the distance and stifles a laugh.
As they continue walking, Yura expresses her annoyance at how rude everyone in school seems to be. Hana suggests they can let go of each other’s hands now, prompting Yura to realize she’s been holding on to Hana the entire time. She apologizes, blaming her behavior on habit. As they talk, Hana discovers that Yura has a brother, and they chat comfortably while strolling down the street.
Suddenly, Hana recalls Min-ji’s hateful stare from earlier, feeling the weight of their last confrontation. Yet, with Yura’s presence in her life, she realizes she has felt less lonely.
