"Shit!" Yerin jumped out of bed and quickly put on winter clothes and ran out. She made her way all the way to a small restaurant where Jay and Ni-ki were waiting. She immediately sat herself down next to them the moment she spotted them.

"Someone slept late."
"Oh shut up."

"Yerin, it's been two years. Has Jihoon told you anything yet?" Ni-ki asked, Yerin sighed and sunk into her seat, "He's been distancing himself. He hasn't said anything."

"You need to drop him. Like, right now." Jay insisted while Yerin sighed again, "I want him to be honest with me. Besides, it won't effect me too much..if he is honest at least.."

"Oh my god." Jay smacked his head and Ni-ki let out a groan of frustration. Yerin hasn't seen Jihoon with another woman yet, and although Jay and Ni-ki have, they were completely unsure if that was a relative of his or not.

The three of them had a fun time eating with each other. Afterwards, they skipped out the restaurant together but they soon stopped when they saw Jihoon kissing another woman.

Yerin wasn't hurt. She wasn't hurt at all. She knew that she didn't love Jihoon in the same way she loves Jake. But what hurt was the trust she had in Jihoon. She was waiting for him to tell her and not be a coward, but instead, he hid it from her and distanced himself.

She let go of both Jay and Ni-ki and went towards him. The sudden movement of somebody walking towards him made Jihoon flinch. He turned and saw Yerin, who was angry, but not in the way a girlfriend would be angry. Instead, he saw somebody who had their trust broken with someone they trusted.

Once Yerin went up to him, she raised her hand and slapped him hard. The sound of the slap echoed and everybody stared at them, including Jihoon's "girlfriend."

"You should've just told me." Yerin said coldly. Jihoon caressed the cheek that Yerin had slapped, it was red, very red.

"Don't reach out to me. We're done." Yerin turned back to Jay and Ni-ki and went towards them. The three of them walked towards the nearest bus stop to stay out with Yerin a little longer.

"I thought you broke up with her." Jihoon's girlfriend asked, her voice slightly shaking because Yerin's presence scared the absolute crap out of her. Jihoon shook his head,

"I couldn't bring myself to do it. I'm a coward." Jihoon felt guilty. But he would've felt even more guilty if Yerin was actually very hurt. But from the looks of it, she wasn't. She lost her trust in him.

"Seojoon? Are you home?" Yerin called out to the empty apartment. Wondering where Seojoon was since she thought he didn't have work today, and his wife was with her family at the moment, "Seojoon?"

The sound of somebody groaning in pain from one of the rooms could be faintly heard. Yerin slowly went closer to the noise, and noticed that Seojoon's door was closed, but not closed all the way.

She slowed opened the door to peek in, and she saw Seojoon on the floor, clenching his chest out of pain while gritting his teeth. She pushed the door open all the way, making Seojoon shocked since he had thought Yerin would be out longer.

Yerin kneeled down next to him and helped him stand up. Seojoon pointed at the pills and bottle of water that was in the corner of his room. She grabbed it and gave it to him, and he felt better afterwards.

"Seojoon, are you okay? What was that?" Yerin asked with complete concern and worry. She sat down next to him, but kept a distance between the two of them.
