"I'm not that surprise you took daesun's side still" Jake jumped to the voice. What's with this lady speaking out of nowhere, to be honest?
Jake store his straight face again, "Do whatever you want to me. I don't care" he says, fixing his desk.
Myunji laughs to him, "What about i pull this cheap thing" she places down a notebook, that was very familiar to his vision.
"Cheap... But has a lot of rich secrets your girlfriend has..."
"Give it back" Jake calmly says, but in the inside he was fuming hot angry. His hands clenching into a ball, veins popping up as well.
"Oh I'll give it back every single page. But i already have hard copies of it" She purposely places it to Jake's hand, maybe even in a seductive way.
A non enduring anger arisen, jake pushes myunji to the wall and tried his best to not choke her. "Why don't you just die, you old hog!"
"It'll take a decade for me to die, maybe even longer" She laughs like a psycho. Enjoying what jake is throwing.
He took a step back, clearing his table, letting all of his things crash to the ground as he had panic attacks at the moment.
Myunji patted his back to some sort of comfort him, "Everything will be alright if you don't play jokes around me. Alright, Mr Sim?"
Why is this even happening?

Meanwhile, daesun sat behind the driver's seat babbling stuffs that she can't tolerate to say. She was on her way to the picnic area near ParkSky's company building.
"Jake, i have been thinking. These days butterflies have been roaming around. Not in the atmosphere but in my- argh that so cringey" she groaned, slapping herself.
The taxi driver looked at her weirdly, talking and hitting herself for no reason. "Millennials these days..."
"Argh, this is harder than passing college" Daesun groans, pouting her lips. She took a peek at the window, cars waiting for the light to turn green.
"I won't even get there in time" she frowns, lunch is almost over.
After some time, they have arrived to the said destination. "We're here, miss" the taxi driver said, unlocking the doors beside her.
She pays and got out, "Thank you, mister-"
In mid air, daesun stopped, she saw a little child holding a piece of red string. "Noona, could you hold this for me?" The boy requests innocently.
"Well, you see kid, I'm a bit of a hurry-" She tried to make an excuse but the kid's cuteness mesmerized her to do so. With that, a sigh of defeat parted from her lips.
"Thank you, noona!" The kid squealed, reaching it's tiny hand to her.
So sudden, he whispered to daesun something, then ran to where it can reach. "Just follow where it goes"
Being confuse and all, daesun followed the red piece of string. Putting all her attention to it, and that's that. Her head hung low, she watches the thread follow her each time she passes by.
She wasn't even aware she bumped into someone. Making her lost balance by tripping on the string. A hand supported her to not fall, she opened her eyes and saw jake, lifting her up. "Are you okay? Did you got hurt?"
Daesun looked at his eyes most of the time, his arms were also occupied with a bouquet of flowers and... A red string, too? Though it was tied in his pinky.
Jake realized what she was looking at and seemed nervous. He gulped to clear his throat. "Remember those movies where people tie both ends of a red string to their pinky?"
"I'm declaring my love for you. To make sure we're on the same path of thought. If fate really wanted us to be something" he raised his pinky to show the tied string onto him. A soft smile plastered on his cute face.
"3 years. And I've never ever regretted being with you"
"I fell in love with you the moment i laid eyes on you"
"I build up all my dignity to ask you"
"I just need confirmation, daesun joo"
"It's your choice to answer, not mine"
Daesun fell hard for the unexpected confession. Her mind filled with confusion, "J-jake, i-"
"I'm sorry. I-i've never noticed not until now. I should've been more attentive with your feelings and actions. I-"
"I understand, Daesun" Jake cuts her off with a reassuring smile and words. He hugged her tight as daesun's eyes filled tears of guilt.
"You don't have to give excuses. I'm your best friend"
"I just needed to take that out of my chest. Sorry if i made you uncomfortable"
He went in for another warm and tight hug with her. Daesun gave her best efforts to talk along, but her too stunned brain kept on interrupting.
On the other hand, jake held his tears most of the time while keep his face out of her sight. He patted her back multiple times for her not to cry.
"Flowers for you" He gave the bouquet. And plucked a thorn.
"And a thorn for jay" a little joke from the past that jake expected for her to laugh out. Although, she whimpered a sob, feeling guilty.
"Hey, don't cry. Why are you crying? Gosh" He slightly chuckled, cupping the moisted cheeks and wiped the tears for her.
Because I'm in love with Jongseong... And not you. What do i do?
"Stop crying already.. you have too much to carry in your mind" Jake brings her into another embrace, letting her burry into his chest.
"I don't deserve a precious being like you" daesun mumbles through her whimpers.
"I know, I'm too gorgeous for you..." Jake mocked her statement which made her laugh finally. An achievement jake have reached, they smiled at each other for the longest time.
Not until.
A loud blast came out of nowhere. Everyone averted their attention to the burning building. Gasping and screaming to the jaw dropping event. The top of it started to burn and scatter.
"Isn't that ParkSky's building?"
"Oh god, hope everyone's okay"
Daesun started to feel overwhelmed again, reloading hot liquids on her eyes. Jake remained speechless, what on earth is going on?
