It's been a few weeks since Soobin and Arin met.

They went on several dates.

Of course, Mrs. Choi would tell Jiwoo all about it and reminded her not to worry because she will handle it.

Meanwhile, Jiwoo spend more time at her dad's restaurant and hangout with Hueningkai to keep her mind off Soobin.

But one night while Jiwoo was busy doing her homework in the living room, Soobin joined her there, sitting on a chair.

Jiwoo tensed up but shrugged it off and minded her own business.

Then suddenly, a ring was heard from Soobin's phone.

Jiwoo secretly peek at the caller id.

'Choi Arin'

Jiwoo frowned as she read it. 'Other than Arin, no other girl has called Soobin before.'

Soobin picked up his phone and answered the call.

After they hung up, Jiwoo gathered her courage to talk to him.

"Going on a date?" She asked.

Soobin just hummed in response,his eyes still on his book.

Jiwoo nodded as they fell into silentness.

"Where are you going?" She tried to make the conversation longer.

"To a concert." He simply answered. "Why? Are you planning to sabotage it?"

Jiwoo was taken aback by Soobin's statement.

Did he really think she stoop that low and obsess with him?

She stood up and scoffed at him.

"Who wants to go to that concert, anyway? You think you're better that me?" Jiwoo raised her voice.

"Go find a boyfriend." He said plainly.

"It's none of your business!" Jiwoo gathered her stuffs and went to her room.

Jiwoo stomped her feet while climbing up the stairs.

She stopped her tracks when Beomgyu called her.

"Hey, why are you walking like that? It's so annoying." Beomgyu rolled his eyes while her back was facing him. "I heard that hyung went on a date with a graceful girl. Why can't you be like that?"

Jiwoo just stood there as tears starting to build up.

"Are you listening?" Beomgyu walked towards her but his gaze softened when he saw her in tears.

Her tears slowly started to betray her so she quickly go inside her room.

Beomgyu looked at her entering her room, feeling slightly guilty.

Jiwoo closed the door behind her then threw herself on her bed while covering her face with her pillow.

Muffling her sobs.

'What should I do? How can I stop liking Soobin?'

'I've liked him since high school. I've only liked him."

She cried her heart out.

'I tried to give up, but I failed.'

'But it's different this time.'

'Soobin likes another girl now.'

'There's nothing I can do about it."

'But I like him so much."

'What should I do now?'

Later that night, Beomgyu approached Soobin who's still reading his book in the living room.

"Hyung." Beomgyu called.

"Hm? What's up?" Soobin's eyes still fixed on his book.

"Will you marry that girl you went on a date with?"

Beomgyu's statement made Soobin finally looked at him as he asked, "why are you asking?"

"I want to know."

"If everything goes well, I will."

Beomgyu pursed his lips. "Do you really like her?"

Soobin crossed his arms and turned to his younger brother while giving him a warm smile. "What do you want?"

"Are you okay with this?"

"What do you mean?" Soobin furrowed his eyebrows.

"Don't you like Jiwoo noona?" Beomgyu's question caught Soobin off guard.

"Next time, I'll introduce you to Arin." Soobin changed the topic. "She's pretty and nice. You'll like her."

Soobin gave Beomgyu a reassuring smile. But Beomgyu was still not satisfied with his answers.

"But-"

"She suits me well." Soobin cut him.

"Hyung.."

"That's enough. Go study now. Your CSAT is near so you need to focus."

Beomgyu sighed, "Okay."

He frowned and head to his room.

After Beomgyu was out of sight, Soobin let out a heavy sigh.

"Everything is going to be okay."
