Iseul, as usual, she get ready for school with a heavy chest. The fight she had with Jisung. I guess it's bad this time. During the 48 hours that passed by, Jisung did not contact her and she's sure she won't contact Jisung as well. What's stopping her is not her pride, it's the way she's the correct here. She has the right to get mad and so is Jisung. But a little coax would be a huge help.

"Please come to the event later" She grab the flyers continuing to walk by herself. Sighing, she grip on it spotting her friends. "Iseul!" Haechan calls. Her eyes slowly went to Jisung who look up at the mention of her name. "I need to go" She softly mumbles walking past the group.

"Did you fight?" Yangyang catch up to her. "Yes" She mumbles walking without looking back on the faces that's probably staring at them. "Is it bad?" The man adds. "Yes" She repeats entering the hall. Yangyang quietly trail behind her, devastated as well. "Won't you fix it?" Yangyang continued. "Yes"

Iseul signs her name on the attendance entering first. Yangyang hurriedly write his name following the girl to sit. "There's our seat" He points at the row. "You can sit there"

Jisung enters the lecture hall with the rest of his friends. His eyes finding Iseul right away. When his eyes hit the empty spot beside the window, his eyes wonder again only to see the woman sitting alone. Sighing, he walk up to the usual spot he would sit. "Iseul is really mad" Chenle broke the silence. "Because of you! How could you mention Sooah in front of her?" Renjun snaps at him. "I don't know!"

"When you're mad Iseul would coax you and weird how you cannot do the same"

That made Jisung feel really bad. Renjun is right. Why can't he do the same? "I'll go sit beside Iseul" Yangyang stood up carrying his bag. Jisung stay seated watching the man sits beside his girlfriend. "I'm disappointed, Jisung" Jeno butt in. "Where's Iseul?" Jaemin arrives. "There" Renjun shortly answers. "Why she there?"

"Ask her boyfriend" Renjun sighs. "Jisung, what happened?" Jaemin turns to him. "He won't say anything." Renjun respond. Jisung plays with his hand staring at Iseul who did not spare him a glance. "I'm gonna sit with her. See you" Jaemin walk over to the upper chair to sit beside the woman.

Lunch came and Iseul sat alone to eat her lunch. Her next class is the class she has with Jisung. It will be hard and suffocating. Specially when Sooah herself is present. She's sure that woman would be clinging onto her boyfriend, taking advantage of the distance her and Jisung have.

What Iseul don't know is, if Jisung will push Sooah away. And she's nervous to know what the man's next move will be. It will either relief her or the opposite. She just hopes it's the opposite. She wanted to trust Jisung, maybe she could trust him when it comes to these.

Iseul's grip on her bag tighten spotting Jisung in the laboratory. Taking off, she enters throwing her bag on the couch. "Wow. The tension. What's wrong?" Sungjin walk in with Jaemin. "Don't ask" Jaemin push the older in.

"Today, I want you to make a fragrance for someone important to you. I want it by tomorrow. You can start"

Talking about unlucky. Who would she even make one for? She fought with Jisung and other than that, there's no one else for her to dedicate such a fragrance for. Iseul grab a hold of dropper, putting drops on her container. Her hand found the essential base oil, dropping some in as well.

The rest of the process went by, her mind drifting to nowhere. "Jisung, who are you making for?" As expected, Sooah cling onto Jisung. It's the start and has Iseul mention she's right in front of them? "To someone. None of your business" Jisung replied, uninterested. "I can make one for you, right?" please say no. please say no. She chant in her head. "It's up to you"

Disappointment rush inside her. And her heart suddenly aches. She slowly look up watching the two. "Then, I'll give it to you later at the event later" Sooah smiles. Iseul look back down on her mixture, not even bothering to do it properly. "What's wrong? Do you need something?" Jaemin approach her. She strip off her gloves disposing it on the bin below. "I need to go to the bathroom"

Iseul throw cold water on her face staring at her reflection. Weird but she look rather tired. And it's just the beginning of the day. Her breath hitch suddenly feeling dizzy. Shaking her head, she exits the bathroom. Her heels click as she walk alone in the hallway. Deciding to sit first, she sat down on the couch fishing out her phone.

She refresh her messages multiple times looking for the certain person to have a message for her. Again, for the second time, disappointment hit her. "Yangyang" She greets. "What? I'm busy" The man respond. "Can you fetch me some medicine to the clinic? I feel dizzy"

Ending the call, another voice rang in her ear. "Here" Slowly turning, she face the two who exchange fragrance. This time, she can't hold it anymore. Her tears fell and her inner self suddenly want to make a scene. But the tiredness and dizziness were stopping her. She just turn her back on the two returning in the laboratory.

"How are you feeling?" Yangyang cross his legs handing her a bottle of water. Iseul gulp the water down to push the medicine in. "Much better" She shrug. "Is it because of Jisung?" The man states. "Yangyang" She calls taking a deep breath. "Today, our professor told us to make a fragrance for someone important to us" She begins, her eyes filling with tears. "I was thinking the whole lecture, who am I supposed to make one for? I have no one"

"I thought Jisung will cooperate and won't show it to me. But he did" Her tears fell which she was fast to wipe away. "He made one and gave it to Sooah. Right in my watch. My chest aches and I feel like crying the whole day" She howls. Yangyang sighs handing her his handkerchief. "I don't know if it's intentional that he wanted me to hear and see him gave it to her but he did"

"Yangyang, I want to fix things with Jisung. I want to take over my pride and be the one to say sorry to him but, what if he leaves me? What do I have left then?" Her tears continue to fall. "If I will pour everything to him, give up my pride, my embarrassment and most of all, the weight in my chest"

"What do I have left if he leaves me too?"

"If I will fill his empty holes and leave mine empty, what will happen to me?" She follow up a question. "I don't know" Yangyang almost whispers. "Right?" Her lips tremble as she catch her breath. Tears continuing to fall on her cheeks. She shifted her gaze letting her tears fall. "To be honest..."

"I don't know what's hurting, my heart or my soul. I don't know who's the tired one among them two. I mean, my soul can take anything. She can take a physical abuse or even anything. But my heart, I don't know. Isn't the heart what's making people continue to live? Without it we're dead"

"But why does it get broken so fast?"

"And how come it can survive multiple heart breaks?" She continue blabbering while the man quietly listen to her.

"Stand up, come on" Yangyang stood up once she's calm down. The two end up not attending their lectures and just talk everything out. Iseul somehow calm down. She's glad. Moving her legs, a moan in pain escape her mouth. "What? Cramp?" She nods. "You better pay me back" Yangyang kneel on the ground to put her in his back.

"Don't do anything stupid" Yangyang mumbles walking with the woman on his back. "You know..." He starts. "You don't have to put your everything on Jisung. I'm not suggesting you to break up with him, you better fix things with him. And Iseul, Jisung is lucky to have you so, don't ruined yourself for him. You can love him but you can't pour all yourself to him."

"After all, you two are still different soul and each others half"
