Hyunjin watched as Yeji entered the room.

The atmosphere was awkward until Hyunjin decided to talk.

"Hey Yeji because of what I said about you last time...I'm very sorry. PLEAS FORGIVE ME" he begged her while bending down.

Yeji was startled by the sudden action and asked him to stand up "Chill no need to bend down."

"NO!You probably felt hurt. I really want to prove to you that I'm-"

"Don't worry it didn't hit me that deep. I'm totally fine I got used to this type of things so let's just forget about it. I really appreciate that you're apologizing though because most people tend to ignore me afterme hearing people talking bad behind my back."

Hyunjin looked up to Yeji who was giving him an angel like smile which he nicely returned.

"I've chosen a song for the choreography. Wanna listen," he asked which she nodded to and let the song play.

She agreed and wanted to stretch before starting.

"Does that happen to you often ... that you react with such panic to fire", she asked him out of curiosity during the stretching.

"Idk. It happened now a few times already. I guess it's a Phobia. What about you?" he answered her now waiting for her response.

"Same"

After stretching, they started to learn for a choreography

Yeji's father Mr. Hwang came back from his business trip in Germany.

He sneaked into her room and hugged her from behind while giving her many kisses on the cheek.

They then sat down on her bed and talked about the things that had happen while they were apart.

"Appa today we did a fire experiment, and I got another anxiety attack," she tells him.

He then hugged her tightly to comfort her like he always did when it happened.

Suddenly one of the maids came in and told them that the meal was ready.

Her Mom Mrs. Hwang was already at the table and as they started eating, they had many good conversations during the meal.

"Why didn't you give me a little sister or a little brother ?" Yeji complained which took the parents by surprise.

"S-Siblings?!..." the mother stutters nervously and Yeji nodded pouting.

"But that is-" Mr. Hwang suddenly grabbed his heart and almost fell to the ground.

Scared and worried to death, they approached Mr. Hwang and helped him up.

"Just Kidding" He suddenly started laughing and Yeji and Mrs. Kim rolled their eyes in annoyance.

Her father has suffered from a heart disease for years now, which is why she was a little relieved that it was only a small joke of her father. Because one day it could get to the point where his chest would hurt so much that he might end up dying.

"Appa that's not funny," she pouted and angrily stuck the chopsticks into her Food.

Hyunjin went straight home from his part-time job in the convenience store.

He's been working there now for a while, in other to be able to pay his dance classes.

He came out of the shower and looked at himself through the mirror over the sink. To be more exact he looked at his large, burned scar on the back of his left shoulder blade.

It really made him curious where he got this big scar. When he asked his mom, she would give him a slap on the ass and tell him to not ask again. Maybe his scar might be related to his phobia of fire. Or something before he turned 6th because he doesn't remember anything from that time.

He then looked at his face and the only thought that crossed his mind was "Dang. I look so good~. I could take over the whole model industry."

The same moment he walked out of the bathroom dressed in his pajamas, his mother entered the house.

"Hello," he bowed to her.

She looked at him with an expressionless face and walked past him to the refrigerator and got a bottle of Soju (champagne).

Sighing he went to his room and collapsed on his bed, lost in thoughts.

For as long as he can remember, his mother had always treated him like a stranger.

Her eyes always holded such a cold look, and her words were always dry towards him.

He could feel that she was annoyed his present.

But he wasn't blaming her since it wasn't easy for his mother either. Most of the men she went out with had abused her. And in the middle of all that she had to take care of a little child.

If he could somehow make her life easier, then he would want to disappear from her life. Maybe she would be much more successful and happier if she didn't have to take care of him.
