"Shin Ryujin, are you ready?" The police officer asked.

The girl with chopped-bangs got up from her bed while carrying her tiny suitcase.

"More than ready." She replied with a huge smile on her face.

The police officer pulled out the key and inserted in the padlock as Ryujin patiently waits for the officer to open the steal jail.

The beauty of infinite freedom puts a smile on Ryujin's face. After three months of staying alone in the white small prison cell, Ryujin was eager to leave.

The police officer slide the jail gate, "I don't want to see you here again, Ryujin." The officer said seriously.

Ryujin plastered a small smile, "I won't come back here, I promise, Winter."

The corner of Winter's lips curved up, "But I want you to see you on my wedding day."

"Of course. It's my friend's wedding." Ryujin expressed as she elbowed Winter softly.

Ryujin's first love was her friend and a co-member, Karina. But, she chose their friendship over romantic relationship. In the end, Ryujin confessed to Karina, but it was too late. Karina had already met another person, Winter, which is her soon-to-be wife.

"I'll wait for you there," Suddenly, Karina, who's holding a plastic bag that contains a food for her fiancé, interrupted Ryujin and Winter conversation.

"Hey," Ryujin bowed and greeted Karina, "Count me in!" She squealed.

"Bring Yuna and grandma with you, okay?" Karina said as Winter interlaced her hand with her fiancé.

Ryujin nodded, "Thank you for watching them while I was in the prison cell. I owe you a looooot." She bowed 90 degrees to show respect towards Karina.

"Hey, hey, you don't have to bow." Karina voiced out, "It was the least I could do. No worries, okay?"

Ryujin was about to bow again but Winter held her shoulder, stopping her.

"Wait a sec," Winter said, letting go of Karina's hand. She then grabbed a scissor behind her back pocket.

Ryujin and Karina were confused, narrowing their eyes on the police officer.

"Don't move," Winter touched Ryujin's chopped-bangs, placing some hairstrands between her fingers. She noticed some strands that are longer than the rest.

Using a scissor, Winter cuts the excessive hair from Ryujin's bangs. She was so focused, causing Ryujin to let out a soft chuckle. Winter cuts them until Ryujin's bangs are roughly the same length across.

"Perfect!" Winter proudly said as she puts back the scissor inside her pocket.

"Both of you are cute!" Karina complimented the two girlies who have the same hair style.

"Soooo, let's go?" Winter pointed at the exit of the prison cell, "Someone is waiting for you outside."

But, Ryujin didn't move, "Uh, Winter, I want to talk to someone before I leave the prison."

"Who?"

RYUJIN POV

"Ryujin, I'm so happy for you. Finally, you're free." Mr. Seong—, no, Lee said over the phone. He's wearing a black and white stripes with a 'prisoner' printed at the back of his shirt.

We're in the area where the inmates can communicate with their loved ones and friends. With a glass in between us, we are facing each other and can only hear through a telephone.
