-What are you telling me!? Joy!? The same Joy who changed our diapers!? Well... Panties actually.

-Think about it... She came to work for me when I was exactly eight and her apparent death happened two years earlier. It all makes a sense.

-But didn't Jeongyeon and Joy see each other? Didn't they recognize each other?

-Eunji is faking amnesia.

-And Jeongyeon? Why didn't she recognize her as her mother?

-We don't know if she remembers her perfectly and then she might have changed.

-I can't believe it... What will you do?

-I will go to Los Angeles and bring Jeongyeon with me. I have to go get her immediately.

-But she doesn't want to see you.

-I'll explain everything to her. I don't want her to be mad at me and to sleep with someone else.

-She will not. I told her to say it.

-Eh!?

-You were being punished for lying to her. She obviously doesn't know this.

-You're a b*tch! Thank me that I have more important things to do or I would have killed you!

-You can also count on my help.

-I don't know if I can trust you anymore.

Tzuyu rolled her eyes. -I will confirm that the story I made up is all a lie.

Nayeon got up and ran out of her office. She took her car and went in front of the photo studio. She got out and went inside, heading inside the study.

-Love, we have to leave for Los Angeles.

Jeongyeon turned to her with furrowed brows. -You forget that I... I'm going with you.

-The story of the man is a lie. Tzuyu needed a diversion and... To make it realistic, she added absurd details. I just wanted an excuse, not a soap opera. Anyway, I'll explain everything to you when we get there. Please, Jeong. I would never cheat on you. If you come, I will show you that what I am hiding from you is for your own good.

Jeongyeon was undecided but something in her heart made her believe Nayeon once again.

Nayeon had booked a flight immediately. They had packed their bags pretty quickly and Jeongyeon kept asking her what they were going to do. Nayeon had asked her to trust her and her girlfriend had told her that it was difficult right now. The American had brought in Tzuyu, who had confessed that it was all a lie. They arrived in Los Angeles early the next day. Nayeon showed up at five at her parents' house.

-Nay? Jeong? What are you doing here?

-Mom, is Joy here?

Jieun looked confused at her daughter. -Yes Dear. Did something happen?

-We are quite tired now but when we wake up I would like to speak privately with her.

-What happened?

-I'll explain later.

Jieun looked at Jeongyeon, who shrugged. -She doesn't want to say it... Neither to me.

-Well, come in.

Jieun made room for them and the two girls entered the house. Nayeon climbed up and Jeongyeon followed her still sleepily. They went to Nayeon's old room and Jeongyeon stretched out on the bed. It was disgusting for the Korean to go back to sleep with Nayeon after what had happened. The American lay down beside her and tucked a lock of her hair behind her ear.

-Love, know that it is really all a staging. I've never cheated on Minhyuk, I've never had a lover to support me, I've never quarreled with my parents. I swear to you on what is dearest to me and... That's you.

-Why... Why did you prefer to lie?

-You will find out in a few hours. Just know that everything I've done, am doing and will do is for you. It's because I love you.

-Please tell me why y... You lied to me. Wha... What's worse than... Than you with another?

Nayeon swallowed. -I met a man but... He is not an old lover of mine whom, I repeat, I never had. He's not even my new lover. It's... It's... Hyunwoo.- Nayeon looked straight into Jeongyeon's eyes. Her girlfriend didn't move an inch. -Jeong ...

-Why... Why did ... Did you meet him?- Jeongyeon's eyes crystallized.

Nayeon stroked her cheek. -I kicked him for all the harm he did to you. That mark on my neck... He did it for me. He wanted to... Take advantage of me but, fortunately, there was a guard. I... I went to ask him about... Eunji.

Jeongyeon was silent. Her tears came out of her eyes and she cried silently. The warmth of those drops on her skin made it seem even more painful, as if her tears were burning her but it was her heart that was burning. A series of flashbacks appeared in her brain. Knowing that Nayeon had gone to see that monster was even worse. Not because Nayeon had talked to him, because she knew she wanted to help, but because her girlfriend had been in danger.

-What... What...

-Love, your mother is not dead.- That revelation caused Jeongyeon to cry more. Nayeon held her tightly to her. -I know where Eunji is and we are in America to find her. You... Do you want to meet her? Are you willing to do that?- Jeongyeon nodded with her head against Nayeon's chest. -Cry as much as you want, let off steam as much as you want, I'll be your support stick and tissue. I love you, Jeong. Forgive me for hiding it from you.

-No... Nobody had been so ki... Kind to me. I... I love you too. You don't know how... How much you mean to me. Tha... Thanks for coming into my life.

Nayeon stroked Jeongyeon's head and the two remained in that position for a long time, before finally falling asleep.
