Kanghyun left the group circle without saying anything and the others let him have his alone time. "Let's have dinner, shall we?" Yonghoon broke the silence and they agreed. "We can go to the convenience store nearby and get ramyeon~" Dongmyeong planned it out excitedly. "Ramyeon? Really?" Yonghoon asked him again and he nodded his head.

"It's been a while since we had ramyeon hyung, let's have some tonight." Harin backs up Dongmyeong and before Yonghoon could speak, So Yeon decided to butt in their conversation first. "I want some ramyeon too so you guys can go ahead and I'll boil us some water. I'll go change first." So Yeon hastily stood up and went to the bathroom leaving Yonghoon no choice but to agree with their decision. Harin and Dongmyeong looked happy when Yonghoon grabbed his wallet before walking to the convenience store with them.

So Yeon changed into one of her pajama pants and a long sleeve shirt. While she was waiting for the water to be boiled, she decided to check up on Kanghyun. She slowly knocked on the door before she said "Kanghyun, the others went to the convenience store to buy some ramyeon. If you want anything else, you can text them."

Hearing no response made her think he was sleeping so she was planning to wait in the kitchen but when the door slides open, she decided to abandoned her plan. "What if... you found out that someone you cared for was murdered by-"

Kanghyun looked serious trying to open up the topic again but So Yeon distracted him with something else. "Are you hungry?" The question caught him off guard and he didn't had time to think of an answer when So Yeon grabs his hand and pulls him to the living room. She opened her bag and took out all the remaining snacks left.

"Why won't you let me finish my question?" He doesn't specifically looks annoyed but rather confused at her actions. "Do you know, studies have shown we humans could say bizarre things when we're hungry. It's because we don't have energy to think straight so eat up. I bet you don't even eat lunch yet." The facts she had spoken wasn't necessary at that situation but knowing that she wouldn't give up until he had a bite of something, made him grabbed a pack of mochi. She smiled after seeing him munching on it.

Kanghyun had just realised how hungry he was until he ate two of it without lifting his head up. There was one left in a pack and he looked at So Yeon who was staring at the sky in silence. The front door was wide open ever since Yonghoon and the others went out. This is simply because So Yeon wanted to see the view during the night time. After she felt his stare, she turned to him and he offers the last mochi left. "Do you want one?"

"You're hungrier than I am, tough guy. You can finish eating that." So Yeon teased him but he doesn't seem familiar with that kind of teasing since he looked confused more than ever. He was probably more straight forward in life than So Yeon is.

"I'm kidding, Kanghyun. I'm good, thanks." So Yeon cleared his thoughts up and he nodded before eating the last one. "Can I-" He pointed at a canned drink and before he could finish his sentence, So Yeon opened it for him. "You... don't have to do that but thanks." So Yeon nodded and looked at the view again.

"Now that you've eaten something, I can give you my reason. I don't let you finish your question just now because I don't want you to open up to me." Kanghyun frowned after hearing her statement. Her eyes remained at the sky which were full of shining stars. "But I wanted asked you a question, not telling you my story."

"You want answers, I know that. Unconsciously, you will tell me more than you originally wanted by giving me following questions that depends on my answer." Kanghyun went into deep thoughts and So Yeon spoke again.

"It's not that I don't want to know how you went into coma. I want to know everyone else's story but... considering I don't even remember mine, it seems unfair, don't you think? Besides, we still act as strangers to each other and we all know we open up only to our close ones. When we become friends and I've regained my memory back, I'll definitely be interested to know your story if you're willing to share." She turned to him and gave him a smile.
