They all felt their blood rushing to their heads when the elevator door opened. Nobody could move nor speak until it occurred to Dahyun what was happening— or what she thought was happening.

She pushed the elevator 'close' button an unbelievable amount of times. And when it did close, Jeongyeon finally was able to speak.

Jeongyeon: We gotta talk to her! Quick! *pressed the elevator down buttons* Gosh! I'm sorry! This shouldn't have happened!

Eunwoo: Relax, alright? We're not doing anything wrong. *enters the available elevator with Jeongyeon*

Once they got off the lift, Jeongyeon hurriedly ran leaving the condominium building, not minding the people who were glancing at her.

Dahyun's eyes were already brimming in tears when Jeongyeon turned her around by her wrist after spotting her. She tried to escape from Jeongyeon's hands but the latter was too strong or maybe she just felt too weak.

Dahyun: Let me go!

Jeongyeon: No! You need to listen first—

Dahyun: Listen about what? Wow! I can't believe this, it was you all along!

Jeongyeon: Nothing's going on between me and Eunwoo-sunbaenim. You have to believe me.

Dahyun: That's what they all say. Huh! 'Keep your friends close and your enemies closer', is that your motto?

Jeongyeon: And what about you? Is that your motto too? *lets go of Dahyun's wrist*

Dahyun: Huh?

Jeongyeon: I already know, Dahyun. Don't even lie.

Dahyun: Now, you're trying to make this about you, aren't you???

Jeongyeon: Let us talk!

Eunwoo: *catching his breath as he comes towards the two* Dah...

Dahyun: *quickly walks away*

Jeongyeon: Wait—

Eunwoo: Aniya. *held Jeongyeon's arm* Let her take her time. She won't listen to you.

Jeongyeon: *faced Eunwoo* I think... I need to go too. I'm sorry, I made it worse. 😕

With her tears starting to well up, Jeongyeon stormed out from the scene.

Dahyun was so sure that getting even with Jeongyeon was the only way for her to feel better so she spent her midnight thinking about the best payback she could bring about that was why the next day, Dahyun and Jimin met in their headquarters, as usual.

Dahyun: My goodness, you look awful.

Jimin: Thanks?
