"If you keep liking her, will you be able to face the consequences?"
I keep hearing those words of eomeoni in my head lately, for no reason.
"But, Hyung, I'm not joking right now.You seem to like Sol A a lot."
What if they're right? What if I do like her? All these years, I convinced myself that the feelings I have for her are nothing, that I just see potential in her as a lawyer. But what if the feelings I have for her are romantic feelings, after all?
"Oh, Jong Hoon." As I was lost in my thoughts, I didn't realize Kim-gyosu stepped into my office.
"E-Eo?"
"The students are waiting for you." When I glanced at the clock, I was already 5 minutes late for my class. Aigoo.
Sol's point of view
It was already 7 in the evening and I was about to go home. Let's eat somewhere. Joon Hwi messaged me. So I waited for him to come to my office. Then we went to a restaurant together.

After eating, he paid for our order. "It's expensive here. It's just a regular day today." I commented when I saw the price.
"Actually, I want to tell you something." Joon Hwi looked a bit sad as he said those words. "Let's break up." After hearing those three words from him, I didn't really feel anything.
"I like you a lot, Kang Sol. But it seems as if you don't like me back."
"I tried hard to. But no matter how much I did, I only see you as a friend. Mianhae."
"You don't have to say sorry. With all the things I've done for you, I thought you'd like me back. But I have a favor to ask you."
"What is it?"
"Let's still be best friends." I never expected him to say those words. He must be feeling so heart-broken right now. I could see it in his eyes. I nodded in response to his favor. That was all I wanted anyway.
Author's point of view
What Sol and Joon Hwi didn't know was that Jong Hoon's condo was close to the restaurant they were in.
