Byun Haena is Wang Jarim's friend since middle school and Gong Jooyoung's childhood friend.
Haena has a record of meeting bad people and she also has a record of people leaving her. Losing important people became her nightmare.
She swore to protect...
After the commotion, they all went home. Jarim went to Gong Joo's apartment to clean his wound. After that Jarim went to talk to Lee Kyungwoo and he realized his mistakes because of Jarim's scolding. Haena was doing some homework and drinking milk outside when she heard footsteps. She immediately went down and dragged Lee Kyungwoo up.
"What are you doing?" Haena asked with a serious tone.
Kyungwoo smirked, "Wow, how lucky of Gong Joo to have two people protecting him,"
"We're friends, aren't we?" Haena approached Kyungwoo. She raised her hand to lift his bangs but her hands stop near his face and decided not to do it.
"You're both important to me as well. Please don't fight to the point that I'll have to choose one of you." Haena said in a low voice then looked at Kyungwoo's eyes.
"Of course, you'll choose him too," Kyungwoo whispered and looked away.
"I just needed to talk to him." Kyungwoo went down and entered Gong Joo's apartment. He assaulted Gong Joo using a pillow but after that, it ended well.
"Hey Lee Gang. You should take responsibility." Gong Joo said.
Kyungwoo looked puzzled, "What?"
"Haena fought Jo Seungmin and pissed the hell out of him. She called him a loser and told him that he was obsessed with you. She also told him not to mess with you again." Gong Joo chuckled. Kyungwoo was surprised, he froze on his spot.
"Now that I remember, it is quite funny." Gong Joo laughed carefully because his wound hurts.
"Anyway, guard her for the meantime. Jo Seungmin might get back to her." Gong Joo said with worry in his voice. Kyungwoo just nodded and left.
"AHH!!!" Kyungwoo screamed as he saw the figure by the stairs.
Kyungwoo's right hand is on his chest, "You surprised me! What are you even doing there?"
"You didn't kill him, did you?" Haena asked, she looks really sleepy.
"I didn't, you crazy girl," Kyungwoo said. Haena just nodded and then went upstairs. Kyungwoo followed her.
"Hey, Byun Haena."
"What?"
"Can you cut my bangs?" Kyungwoo asked. Haena immediately turned around to face him.
"It's just that... there's probably no hair salon open at this hour and I really want to cut it now. You doing it might be better than doing it myself." Kyungwoo looked away.
"Come in." Haena went into her apartment. It was pretty much like Gong Joo's but cleaner. Haena watched a video on youtube on how to do it and prepared the things needed.
"Are you sure about this?" Haena asked Lee Kyungwoo who was sitting on a chair inside her bathroom facing the mirror.
"No. I'm regretting it now." Kyungwoo said nervously.
"You're the one who suggested it. And we're here now. Let's just do it."
"Take this seriously, okay? Don't mess with my hair." Kyungwoo warned. He was starting to sweat because of nervousness.
"Don't piss me off. I'm holding a scissor, remember?" Haena threatened.
"Aish. Why did I even think of this?" Kyungwoo whispered, regretting his decision. Haena started cutting while Kyungwoo's eyes are closed. He was nervous to open his eyes and see what was happening.
"Be careful of my eyebrows and eyelashes." Kyunghoon reminded. He flinched when Haena clicked her tongue. He gulped because of nervousness.
While cutting his hair, Haena couldn't help but stare at him. She looked at his scar and was tempted to touch it but she felt like it was going out of the line. Kyungwoo's eyes suddenly opened when he felt Haena stopped moving. From his scar, Haena's eyes stared at the other pair of eyes in front of her.

"I knew, what really happened." She whispered. She stopped and observed his reaction but he was just staring at her.
"It's okay now." Kyungwoo closed his eyes. She was slightly stunned, he was really affected by it earlier. What changed his mind?
"Open your eyes." Kyungwoo slowly opened his eyes. His eyes widen and his jaw drops at the reflection in the mirror.
Haena shrugged, "I didn't think it would work out."
"Wow, it was better than I expected." Kyungwoo amused. He was so thankful that Haena did a great job at cutting his hair, he felt like hugging her but he didn't.
"But... I think we should cut more parts to make it more balance." Haena stared at Kyungwoo's reflection in the mirror. Kyungwoo followed Haena's suggestion. He was just staring at her while she cut his hair. Kyungwoo cleaned up the mess when they finished.
"Thanks for helping me," Kyungwoo smiled.
"That's not free. Buy me tteokbokki." Haena yawned.
"Alright. I'll get going now." Kyungwoo waved goodbye. Haena just waved and nodded at him.
When Kyungwoo left, Haena stared at her door and placed her hand in front of her heart. "I shouldn't be feeling like this. What's wrong with me?" she whispered to herself.
