Ahnjin run after Renjun to catch up with the man's long legs. "It's our first date as a couple! Stop leaving me behind!" She shouts catching her breath. The man did not respond but approach her. "Let's go" Renjun tightly held her hand. "I'm tired" She answered. "We've just been walking for about 15 minutes, we're close. Come on"

"15 minutes to you! For me it's double!" She shouts. Renjun chuckles pulling his handkerchief out. He lift his hand wiping his girlfriend's sweat.

"You're fine. You'll be fine, as long as I'm with you. Believe me"

Ahnjin enters the house gripping on her shoulder bag. Sighing, she walk over to the kitchen. Placing her bag down on the counter, she pull the fridge open. "I'll be fine?" She ask herself. In stress, she lean her back on the fridge. "He's not beside me, what am I thinking?" She slightly chuckles drinking her water.

"Ahnjin" Hyesun enter the kitchen. "Hey" She slightly smile. "Oh? Are you okay?" She nods as reply. "Whose car was that?" Hyesun asks. "My friend. Nothing else" She answers. "I see, your brother and his friends are drinking right now. It's 3 days, 0 nights" She nods to show respond. "Hyesun..."

"Is it still possible to a ruined relationship to still work again?"

"What do you mean? If it's ruined, it won't anymore" Hyesun answers. "You're right" She giggles. A sigh left her mouth as she unstrap her heels. "What's wrong with me?" She chuckles wiping the tear that left her eye. "Ahnjin..." Hyesun look at her, worried. "Hyesun, why do I feel so lonely? I know Sungchan is seeing someone. And I have no reason to be mad, he's not even mine"

"Why is this happening to me?"

48 hours went by, for the last two days, Ahnjin stays at home. In those hours that past by, she did not see glimpse of her brother as she expected. Again, morning came. As usual, she exits her room to have breakfast. "Ahnjin!" Hyesun rush towards her. "What's wrong?"

"Let's fetch them! The owner said all of them are unrecognizable anymore"

Rushing out of her car, Ahnjin run inside the empty and quiet restaurant. "Miss! Have you—" She's cut off by a loud gibberish noise. "Forget it." She bows approaching the table filled with empty beers. "Jaemin!" She calls. "I'm seeing my sister" Her brother Jaemin turns to his friend Jeno. "I'm seeing her too"

"Please take them to the address I told you" She said at the driver. The first car filled with Jaemin, Jeno, Mark and Jisung went off. Rushing towards the second car, she said the same thing. "Why are they six?" Realization hits her. Running back in the restaurant, she found Renjun gathering all the left stuff.

"Give me" She softly grab her brother's bag. "Why are you not drunk? You were drinking with them" She adds. "I left halfway through. I had a patient" Renjun answers still gathering all the things his friend left. "Of course, you had a patient" She nods grabbing the phones on the table. Renjun slam something on the table surprising her.

"For how long are you gonna hold grudge against my work?"

"I'm not holding a grudge against your work" She reasons. "Of course you don't. After all, it's what you always comment to when you had the chance" The man snaps. "Then, what else should I comment to when we had the chance to see each other or even bump into each other, what you frequently mention is your work. What else should I say?"

"Then, how about we talk about our damn relationship?!"

"For whole 6 months, it's only me trying to bring it back together. While you! You'd rather sleep with a man who has a mistress and a pain in the ass. How much did you pay for his goddamn operation? No! Forget it, is this how he repay you? With that golden shitty? If it is to work like that..."

"I can give you more gold than he could"

"Oh! Now I know! The gold is payment. For you letting him bed you" Renjun continues. "Hey!!" She shouts in annoyance. "That's over the line. I didn't know! I don't know anything! These days, I feel so terrible like all I did in life was to fuck shit up. The pressure is eating me, how could you do this to me?"

"Don't act like you never did anything to me"

"You have no idea how much it affects me. How much the sudden break up affects me. You know nothing what I went through. And every time I would try to bring it up, you would stop me. How will you understand? You never give me the chance to say what I really had to say!"

"Cause if I do, I'll lose it again! If I listen to you, the bruise inside this—" She points at the location of her heart. "—it's fine again, nothing happened again. I could move on and it will happen again. I gave you so many chance" Her tears fell. "I understand you multiple times! The day I got my apartment, I ask you to celebrate it with me, where are you? You're busy! I understand that."

"No matter how much I forgive you, it will be useless. Cause you'll do it again"

"It's not only once, Renjun! It happen five times. All I ask of you is to be there with me. The day of our break up, I failed the interview, I was molested by some horny old person! All I wanted that was a long and warm embrace by the person I love but why? Why do you have to leave?"

"Why do you treat dying strangers when I'm dying too?! "

"I needed you. And during my darkest hours, you were there to light up my surroundings. But do you even know that you're also the reason why I was like that?"

"I fuck up, don't I?"

"All I wanted to hear from you was the two words you always tells me"
