how would it feel finally acknowledging the fact that you like someone and then the person could possibly be not with you? ask sua.

how would it feel to always have complicated feelings and not been early enough to sort them and end up in an arranged relationship? ask yoshi.

how would it feel to not feel the emotion of love towards anyone you know? to do whatever told to? ask sieun.

how would it feel to see the people you love in such a complicated situation that leaves most of them heartbroken? ask haruto.

sua woke up at four in the morning and went outside the mansion in the cold season. she didn't seem happy, she seemed zoned out like everyday, she roamed around for two hours and more after finally coming back to her neighborhood.

haruto who had just woken up, uncovered the curtains from the window while yawning. he covered up his mouth to see sua looking towards his window as she stood in front of her house. the little act by the boy made her chuckle. haruto was relieved seeing her like that, he ran inside and came back with his shirt on.

he started acting using his hands, "did you sleep well?", sua nodded.
"how are you feeling?"
sua made an 'okay' expression with her forefinger and thumb.

haruto nodded and shouted, "it's cold! go inside!"
sua covered her ears and rolled her eyes. yoshi went out of the house searching for something and his eyes met sua's. they both stood still until yoshi smiled faintly. "are you okay, sua? i thought you won't like it, so i didn't disturb you yesterday"
sua nodded.
yoshi gave her his jacket, she took it from him.

"why did you run away like that?", sua looked around nervously.

there was silence until, "yoshi hyung, you're awake?"
yoshi turned around to see haruto, "how did you wake up so early?" yoshi asked, slightly hitting his chest.

haruto nodded and tried taking yoshi's jacket from sua's hand. sua had a strong grip as she shook his head, haruto glared at her. she sighed and let it go. haruto gave it back to yoshi and said, "hyung, you're going to get married next month, you have to stop being nice to everyone"

yoshi sighed, "sua is-"
"she is my to-be-fiancé"
yoshi and sua looked at haruto who said it so confidently with surprise.

sua was so shocked. yoshi sighed, "what is happening?"
"what hyung? isn't it true?"
"yeah, but- that doesn't mean i cannot-"
"that does mean that, i'm very possessive as you know"

sua sighed and dragged haruto to her house. yoshi stood there with the jacket in his hand.

sua was so furious, haruto was scared for his life. "oh? haruto?", mrs.park exclaimed.

haruto smiled awkwardly and nodded, then she saw sua holding his hand.
"did you just wake up? have breakfast here!"
"yeah! th-thank you"
he said vanishing with sua to her room.

sua closed the door loudly. haruto flinched. sua started crying, haruto panicked, "yah yah! just be scary! but don't cry, please"
"why did you have to say it!"
"say what?"
"everything, haruto"
"why sua? what i said was true, wasn't it?"
"it was. but- just let him be nice to me! i can't seem to live without it"
"you can't live without him being nice to you?"
sua nodded.

"do you l-li-"
"i do", sua nodded aggressively and started crying harder.

haruto sighed, "stop crying!", sua couldn't help it.
"stop crying i said!" haruto shouted at her. she stopped for a second but cried again. haruto sighed and went closer to her.

"i'm sorry, i'm sorry for everything i've done, sua", he said with a deep, apologetic voice as he held her shoulders.

she looked up at him and continued crying. he sighed and his reflexes made him hold her face, she didn't stop crying, as if she was letting out everything from the past few years.

haruto's expression warmed as he looked at her, she couldn't see him properly due to her blurry eyes.

haruto patted her head and made her sit, "sua, let's talk okay, stop crying, hit me instead"
he said as he handed her water. she tried calming down but her conscience told her stuff that made her cry even more.

"ruto, i like your-"
"stop saying that! i know it! i've always known it!"
"i li-"
"okay, enough"
haruto made her drink water. he touched her forehead to realise she was heating.

"it is so cold outside! why did you go out?"
she cried as he asked that. haruto sighed and pulled her into a hug. a hug after six years.

"sua, please, i beg you, don't cry for this. don't get sick because of this"
sua nodded and haruto pulled away.

"thank you for being here, yesterday and today"
"i'll always be here"

"take some rest, you're not well, wait"
haruto checked his pocket. "this is a cold medicine, if you catch a cold by any chance, and..i'll get you a fever medicine-"
"not needed, thanks"
"yeah, medicine isn't needed, his coat was needed"
sua sighed.

haruto went out after she had fallen asleep. mrs.park smiled at him, "after seeing you both like this, i don't regret our decision, you're so good to my daughter, thank you haruto"
"no aunt-"
"mom, you can call me mom"
