“I’m..I’m…”She trailed off, and before Hyun-Woo could say any other thing,she ran off in tears.
“Si-Woo!!!”Hyun-Woo screamed and went down,with round hot tears, streaming down his cheeks.
“Why did you do that huh? What came over you?”Hyun-Woo sobbed,still kneeling down and the tears kept rushing down.
He suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder and he turned slowly,to see Do-Yun standing beside him and her hand was on his shoulder.
“What do you want from me?”He asked calmly, wiping his tears.
“I just want to console you, nothing else”She shrugged with a smile.
“I clearly remember always seeing you and Seo-Jun so when did you become nice?”Hyun-Woo asked her.
“Well,I’m still not nice but you kneeling down here and crying your eyes out is not wise. I can lend my shoulder….”
“S..t…a…y away from me!!”Hyun-Woo told her, picking on the word *STAY*
He stood up,then walked out on her. Leaving her totally shocked and Embarrassed.
Meanwhile,Si-Woo ran straight to the school garden,the moment she went inside the garden,she crouched down and began crying profusely.
“It’s… it’s..it’s…not my fault,I never wanted to be one but…but…”She couldn’t complete her statement cos she got choked cos of how she was crying terribly.
Her whole body was shivering and her tears was wetting the ground.
This shouldn’t have happened!! How is she going to face the school? How is she going to face her brother? She’s in a mess!! What if..what if? Gawd!!
“Do you plan on crying out blood?”She heard a voice from her back and she turned to see Sung-ho standing there with his hands tucked inside his pocket.
She shook her head,then buried back her face on her thigh before resuming her cry.
Sung-ho scoffed and walked more closer to her before pulling her up.
“Just go away!! I don’t want to see anyone”Si-Woo told him with her face bent down.
“Hey!! It has already happened and crying won’t solve a thing. Or would it?”Sung-ho asked her and she couldn’t reply, instead she kept crying.
“Yes! You should cry but it’s not going to solve anything so why don’t you just stop with the tears huh?”Sung-ho scolded.
“You won’t just understand. I f-__-ked up big time, everyone is gonna despise me from onward. My brother is f-__-king Disappointed! I feel ashamed right now”She said in tears and sung-ho sighed before pulling her into his arms.
“Since you’re bent on crying,I’ll lend you my shoulder to cry on”sung-ho said and Si-Woo burst into fresh tears with her face buried on sung-ho chest,while her tears wetted his shirt.
“Don’t be too hard on yourself. You’ll come out from this mess,just trust me!”He patted her back, while talking.
Hyun-Woo walked into the garden with a red eye,no doubt he cried till the tears stopped flowing.
“Your brother is here”Sung-ho told her and she immediately lifted her face from Sung-ho chest.
She ran straight to Hyun-Woo arm’s, almost pushing him to the ground with the force.
“I’m really sorry. I promise I won’t try that $h|t ever again, don’t be mad with me. I’m…I’m.. really sorry”She apologized with tears.
“You talk too much. Did I tell you I was mad with you? Just stop crying already”He told her and Si-Woo looked at him with a smile.

“You..you did what?”Do-Yun asked in shock after Seo-Jun told her she was the one who uploaded the video in the blog.
“Yeah,I did it”she smiled,while flaunting her hair.
“No! This is not right Seo-Jun! This is totally wrong,do you have any idea what this is…”
“I don’t care Do-Yun. I don’t care,next time she won’t mess with me”she scoffed loudly.
“How did you even get the video?”Do-Yun asked and Seo-Jun Only smiled.
“Not something you should know!”

<LATER~CAFETERIA>
“Who ever uploaded the video in the blog is d@mn wicked. Why would he or she do that?”A-Yeong asked as they made their way into the cafeteria.
“I seriously don’t understand why the person did that. I mean,there’s nothing wrong with being a lesbian or gay. As long as you both love and understand each other,then it’s good”Yu-Jun said,while shaking her head.
“That’s wickedness”A-Yeong scoffed and turned to look at Aerum,she’s being quiet.
“You’re not saying anything?”She asked and Aerum shook her head.
“Ion, let’s just say I’m speechless”She said,and they finally sat down on an empty seat.
They wanted to start eating when Beom-seok and Ji-hoon walked in,they pulled out a chair and sat with them.
“Hi!!”Yu-Jun waved happily to Ji-hoon who just nodded without looking at her,his eyes was fixed on A-Yeong face but she wasn’t even looking at him.
“Should I just take you out?”Beom-seok whispered to Aerum who smiled before replying.
“How about them huh?”She asked.
“They should sort their self out, just want to eat with you alone”Beom-seok replied and Aerum nodded.
“Fine”she shrugged and beom-seok smiled.
“If you don’t mind,I want to take her with me”Beom-seok told them and A-Yeong smiled immediately.
“Do you really have to tell us? Go with her”A-Yeong said and beom-seok chuckled while aerum shot her deadly glares.
They both stood up,and left the cafeteria. Ji-hoon faced A-Yeong with a serious look.
“Didn’t you see my messages?”He asked and A-Yeong cleared throat without replying him, pretending she didn’t hear him.
“A-Yeong!!”He called and she finally looked up.
“Didn’t you see my messages? My calls? You ignored them totally. Are you avoiding me? Did I do something?”Ji-hoon asked and A-Yeong stylishly looked at Yu-Jun, and she was looking at her too.
“Uhmmm,I didn’t and besides why were you calling?”She asked, biting her bottom lips.
“Seriously? It’s fine anyways”Ji-hoon said,and without looking at her again he began looking.
A-Yeong swallowed nothing, before taking her eye’s back to the meal but she wasn’t eating, instead she began picking on it with her fork.
“Here you go!”Yu-Jun smiled,and took out a steak meat from her plate of food,then transferred it to ji-hoon plate.
“Thanks!!”He smiled at her, and Yu-Jun returned the smile cutely.
A-Yeong looked at them,then bite her bottom lips and looked away.

“I never knew a good restaurant as this was around this school”Aerum smiled after they have settled down.
“I know right?”Beom-seok nodded.
“Thumbs up for you”Aerum smiled and beom-seok gave her thumbs up too.
“Uhmm,what would you wanna have?”He asks her and she just smiled while looking at him.
“What?”He asked.
“You know my specialty”She shrugged and he mouthed an “oh” before placing their order.
Few minutes,their order arrived and the began eating.
“This is good!!”She nodded.
“Really great”Beom-seok nodded in affirmative.
Beom-seok lifted his face from the meal,then took his drink.
“Cheers to long life”he said and Aerum looked at him before laughing.she took her drink too.
“Cheers to long life”She said and clicked glass with beom-seok after which they drank the wine.
“Wait… what’s that?”Beom-seok asked, pointing at her face.
“Huh? Where?”Aerum asked him, blinking her lashes cutely.
“There,up there”he said,still pointing at her face.
“Here?”Aerum asked, touching her cheek.
“Nahh”beom-seok shook his head,she pointed at another spot and he still shook his head,she was about pointing at another spot when beom-seok held her hand.
Their eyes locked for a moment,with Aerum’s heart beating really fast. Beom-seok blinked,then took his thumb to her side lip before wiping off the sauce,he proceeded to licking it off his thumb.
“Thanks”She muttered shyly and beom-seok chuckled.
She looked at him,and he was still smiling she immediately bent her face while biting her bottom lips nervously.
“Should I come over to your house?”Beom-seok asked and aerum gasped lowly.
“Why?”She asked.
“Just want to come”He replied with a shrug.
“Mom is…”
“I’ll be careful”He replied and aerum nodded.
“When are you coming?”She asked slowly.
“Don’t worry,I’m not letting you know. It’s a surprise”He shrugged and aerum nodded with a smile.
They took their eyes back to the delicious meal before them and continued eating with a big smile, lingering round the corner of their lips.

<NIGHT~STREET>
A-Yeong held the bags she was holding tightly, while waiting for a cab,the weather wasn’t friendly and it was sure going to start raining soon and to worsen the whole issue, there’s no cab in sight.
She looked at the time and shook her head,her house is really far and trekking is not the best.
She immediately smiled when she saw a cab approaching,she began waving trying to create awareness to the cab but It drove past her.
“Gawd!!”She roughed her head and instantly,the cloud made a clapping sound.. really loud that A-Yeong flinched fearfully.
She looked up and bite her bottom lips.
“I have no choice than to trek”she said and began walking,but the moment she took the first three steps,the cloud made another clapping sound this time it came down with raindrops,and before A-Yeong could make another move,it began raining heavily.
“Oh no!!”She shrieked and began running.
Another car began approaching her with full speed and she increased her speed too, running like someone who was being chased.
She looked back,and the car was almost close.
“A-Yeong,you can do this”She told herself and continued running.
The car roughly overtake her, making her halt abruptly while panting heavily.
Ji-hoon came down and pulled her inside the car.
“Kidnapper!!”She struggled with him and ji-hoon shook his head, before removing the hoodie covering almost his face.
“Huh? Ji-hoon!!”She stuttered, ji-hoon only looked at her without saying anything.
He went over to the driver seat, and ignited the car back to life before driving off.
A-Yeong stylishly looked at him,and he wasn’t looking at her at all,all his attention was at the road.
She bite her bottom lips, and looked out through the window. It was still raining heavily.
She suddenly began shaking,her clothes was drenched already. Ji-hoon only used an hand to grab a jacket which was at the passengers seat then covered her with it, without looking at her.
A-Yeong looked at him, trying to read his mind or know what was happening but his face was neutral and unreadable.
Is he angry with her? A word won’t hurt or would it? Why isn’t he saying anything?
All this questions ran through her mind,till they finally stopped at her house.
Ji-hoon came down with an umbrella,then opened the door for her before covering her with the umbrella and they walked in together.
“Welcome ji-hoon”A-Yeong mom smiled, opening the door wide for them.
“Thanks ma’am”He replied with a smile.
“I told you to take an umbrella with you but you refused. Now you’re drenched”Her mom scolded, A-Yeong only pouted cutely.
“Good grief”Her mom rolled eye and turned to ji-hoon.
“Sit. I’ll go make hot tea for you both. And you,go Change your cloth before you catch a cold”she told A-Yeong and she smiled.
“I’ll be back”She told ji-hoon who only smiled.
“Feel at home son”A-Yeong mom smiled and ji-hoon nodded.
“Thanks ma’am”He replied politely.
A-Yeong left to her room, while her mom went to the kitchen to make the tea.

<MR KANG-DAE MANSION>
Yu-Ri closed back her window the moment it began raining,she exhaled and sat down on the bed.
She looked at Hyun-Woo who was looking all moody and sad. He’s being there since an hour ago.
“What’s happening? Mind sharing it with me?”She asked slowly and Hyun-Woo exhaled heavily before closing his eyes.
“I’m fine”He told her,with his eyes closed.
“But you don’t look fine to me. What’s happening?”She probed further and Hyun-Woo exhaled again before opening his eyes.
“I don’t even know what’s wrong with me,but..”he shook his head and closed back his eyes.
Yu-Ri stood up from the bed,then walked over to him. She bent to his level and Hyun-Woo flicked his eyes open immediately.
“I don’t know what’s going on or what’s happening. But I believe this will be a relieve”She began and Hyun-Woo looked at her,not understanding what she meant.
“What’s that?”He asked slowly, still looking at her.
“I haven’t done this before,but I strongly believe you’ll be relieved after it”she smiled.
He wanted to talk again,but the sudden lips of Yu-Ri on his, shushed him up.
She was kissing him!!!!
