when i woke up, it's already 7.00 and i prepared myself before i called a taxi for sending me to the restaurant that jeonghan told me.

i sat at a random table, waiting for him. when i arrived, it's already 8.15 but he's still not here.

i waited and waited for about an hour, but he's still not here, yet.

where is he? what happened?

so, i decided to call him, but, no answer. i sighed and stood up, it's better if i go home. it's already 10 p.m. it's been a while since i got here.

but, he showed up.

"aeri, i'm sorry. i know I'm late. just now, there were an emergency happened in the hospital. so-"

"i want to go home." i said, cutting his words.

"but-"

"can't you like call me and told me that you'll be late or anything? it's been a while since i got here." i said.

he sighed. "my phone ran out of battery-"

"stop it. let me go home." i said and i took my bag, going out from the restaurant.

surprisingly, he didn't even chased for me. woah.

and, when i was walking, i felt tired so i sat on a bench that i saw when i arrived at a playground. i wanted to call a taxi but it's already so late and i've ran out of credits.

"aeri?" i turned around just to see junhui.

"what are you doing here? i thought today is your anniversary with jeonghan?" he asked sitting next to me.

"jun..." my voice cracked and i hugged him.

"hey, what happened?"

"i'm tired, jun. it seems like he doesn't care about me anymore." i said.

he sighed.

"I can't bear seeing you like this, aeri. jeonghan has surpassed the limit."

"so, what can i do?"

"let's pretend that we are dating."
