"HE LEFT TO NEW YORK!?" Mark yelled in surprise. All 127 members came to the meeting room to know about Johnny's sudden depart back to his home country. "Weird but I wonder why did he do that?" Jaehyun asked worriedly before WayV came to the same room. "What's happening?" Kun asked in concern and Taeyong raises the letter from Johnny. "He went back to his Home country without a reason. He didn't say that he will leave the group but there must be a personal problem or Family that they don't want us to be involved" Taeyong replied before they heard tiny but heavy footsteps coming to the meeting room and found Karrie running to the door. "What happened to Johnny?!" Karrie panic while panting herself from sprint. "Johnny leaves back home," Taeyong replied while silence surrounds the room as they feel worried for their fellow member and giant friend before Karrie steps out. "Where are you going, Karrie Noona?" Mark asked surprisingly. "It's obvious! I should follow him" Karrie replied but been stopped by the WayV leader, Kun. "You shouldn't. He said that he doesn't want us to get involved about his problem" He said. "Aren't you guys his members!? his friends?! Why are you guys feel chickened out!? Your group stands for unique concept and unite! One for all, All for one! No matter what happens, You were guys a family too! Helping each other even in this situation!" Karrie finally bursts her frustration much to the boys shocked to see her anger for the first time and they still went in silent mode after accepting the youngest angry nags. "Karrie...." Taeyong mumbled. "That bastard was my close friend too. Whenever I feel lonely, he makes me laugh every day and assuring to me that everything is ok. Now, I'll make sure that he will come back soon. I have to figure out what was happening" She walked away. "Didn't we stop her?" Kun asked before Krisha came with Arisa. "Karrie, Johnny Oppa, and I were buddies back when we attend the same dance academy in States. They were so close and always bickering with each other. I understand what Karrie feels when her friend left.". "Let her be for now. We could call her to know what was happening to him" Arisa said and Kun sighed. "Surely, she's a tough one like our yangyang" They turn to yangyang who was busy playing with his phone. "Yes, it is," Ten said. "We should trust Karrie to figure out what happened to his sudden departure," Taeil said as they finally agreed.
>>FAST FORWARD<<
A few days later, Karrie arrives at the airport of New York along with her mini friend, Daegal. "Are you sure about this? I mean she's your pet but why me?" She asked as she was in the middle of face time with Chenle. "Yeah~ I'll be fine also she needs to experience travel too for the first time that's why I send her to you~ Please take care of my daughter!" Chenle said excitedly through the phone before ending the call. She sighs and looks at daegal in the pet carrier. "Alright, Daegal! Let's explore your Oppa's home country and find him" She said with a smile as Daegal barked in reply with a wagging tail. They went from the hotel to stay in before they went around to explore the city streets. Arriving at the cafe and put Daegal on the baby stroller that Chenle brought it. "One Caramel macchiato and one slice of black forest cake. Oh! Some cookies too for my little friend here" She ordered to the waiter and Daegal barks in agree in which the waiter laughed at it before he left back to the counter. "Yes, buddy~ Thank you for accompanying unnie~ Paws~," She said while raising her hand then Daegal's paws place onto her. "There's no way I could do that!" A familiar angry voice making them startled as she notices a group of people in the side area in which to her surprise it was none other than Johnny. Karrie remained silent to listen to their conversation with his parents and another woman. "John! You have to marry Thalia. I know you've been getting older but you have to. I want you to have a normal life" His mother begged him. "And you want me to quit being an idol for the sake of marrying my childhood? Mom, You didn't give me the freedom to choose the one for me! My girl is waiting for me back there!" He insisted before his father spoke up. "Your mom and Thalia's mom agreed to have arranged marriage of you! For the sake of business! Son, You have to do it for us!" He scolded his son making them silent. "Johnny, You have to~ Beside that friend of yours named Karrie, She wasn't matched for you," Thalia said sarcastically before he throws an angry stare at her that causes her shivers and looks away. "Listen, Karrie has independent life in her college years and risk her years to train herself to become a dancer. Unlike you, A spoiled bitch who does nothing but going fancy with fake riches" He said in his disgusted tone making Thalia gasp. "John! Language!" His father scolds him but didn't listen to his father and walks away. Meanwhile, Karrie let him alone after she sends a video of their conversation to Taeyong letting him know about the causes of his problem before having her time at the cafe with Daegal who was busy eating some soft cookies. "What a huge idiot you are" She smiled in mumble knowing what he means.
At the night in New York, Johnny and his family went to the same hotel where Karrie is staying for attending his mother's director night party. Karrie was standing at the door of her hotel room after reading the message and leaving a heavy sigh. "I hope that he won't accept his engagement. But those words . . . Does it mean he mention me?" She said in which she looked down and thinking deeply about her feelings for Johnny until noticing that Daegal was nowhere. "Daegal? Hey! Daegal!" She ran away finding the puppy. Meanwhile, Johnny went out from the comfort room after fixing his grey suit jacket and slick back hairstyle until he heard a familiar call from somewhere then found out that It was Karrie who running down to chase Daegal out. "K-Karrie!?" He was surprised before he chased her behind. Arriving at the familiar place, She finally caught Daegal. "Geez! You little! You shouldn't go out there" She said worriedly and Daegal barks somewhere. "Wait, this place" She looks around and realizes that she arrives at the street sky bridge; The place where she found out about Johnny that he's part of Kpop Idol on the autumn day of Thanksgiving season. "I-It feels nostalgic . . . It was been a while" She said before her tears ran out from her eyes and hugging Daegal. "KARRIE!" It was Johnny calling her then turn to see her in tears. "John.." She called her while she put daegal down before he ran to embrace her tightly much to her surprise. "ACK! John, What on earth are y-" Her words were interrupted by a soft plump lips pressed against hers for a first warm kiss. She was surprised at first but he kept kissing her deeply until she forced herself responds to him before parting their lips and looking at each other before he embraces her again. "I see you found out about my situation, but you don't have to do this!" He begged her as she pushes him away then walking backward. "That's not the Johnny I know before!" She finally burst her anger towards her close friend much to his surprise before his parents came to them along with Thalia. "Listen, You have fear of rejection aren't you? Then you need to face it, Johnny! Right Now, Your future is in your own hands. You have freedom in you because you have your parents, your members, and your friends. Do not fear saying "NO" if you don't want to. Don't hesitate yourself, To show your sincere feelings" She said before eyes turn to see his parents with his so-called fiancee. Johnny saw his parents then she gave a nod before left them. "Mom...Dad...Thalia, I've made my mind" He said in a serious tone.
"I'm sorry Daegal, There's nothing we can do for tonight," She said in a sad smile as she whined sadly then walk towards her. "Let's go," she said before they went back to the hotel to prepare for going back home.
