Ari's POV
It's been a month I had left mingi and been living with yeri and nayeon. They both were so good on me.
"Here's your plate. I gave you more pancakes since you loved it last time," wooyoung placed the plate in front of me.
Now, I am at woosan's restaurant with yeri.
I looked at the mountain of pancakes on the plate and my jaw dropped, " wooyoung, I love your cooking but I don't think I can finish this much."
"Why?" Wooyoung whined, " just eat. I was giving extra care in making those since you loved it," he flipped his imaginary hair, " not everyone can enjoy my cooking, you know?"
Yeri snorted, " yes, everyone can, wooyoung. You're literally the chef of a restaurant ,which means you have to cook for every customers that come pass through your door," yeri pointed out.
"I meant , for free," wooyoung spoke back, "you know what, you are too talkative. Don't eat. You don't deserve my holy food," wooyoung tried to grab the plate but yeri was protecting it with her both hands with food stuffed in her mouth.
I laughed at their childish arguments.
San was looking fondly at his partner, shooting hearts from his eyes.
That's exactly how mingi looked at me.
Mingi? how has he been? Is he doing well?
He has been texting me 'good morning' and 'good night' every days but I have been ignoring him.
Because I know that if I see or hear him, I would break down.
I miss him so much. I want to run back into his embraces and took in his scents.
But I don't want to forgive him this easily . He did me so wrong.
"Ari, are you okay?" San asked me which made both the heads of yeri and wooyoung turned to me, stopping their little fights.
" yeah, I am," I smiled back. I put a piece of pancake in my mouth, " it's so delicious wooyoung."
Wooyoung smiled widely, " then eat more. I will make more for you."

I just noticed that I ran out of shampoo and forgot to buy one.
There's only nayeon and me left at home.
"Unnie, do you have some shampoo I can use? I ran out of mine," I asked.
" yeah, there's a new bottle in my drawer. Can you take it yourself?" Nayeon said without removing her gaze from the computer, typing continuously. She seemed to be busy, so I didn't interrupt her anymore and went to take it myself.
" which drawer did she said?" I mumbled, looking at the three levels of drawers in front of me. I finally found the bottle I was looking for, " this must be one," I raised my hand in victory, knocking a book down from the top of the drawer.
"Oh, shoot!" I picked up to placed it back to where it was but some photos fell down from between the pages.
I picked up the photos and widened my eyes, " is this yeosang?"
Nayeon came into the room, " Ari, have you found the shampoo ?"
But she halted her steps when she saw me staring shockingly at the photo.
In that photo, yeosang was sleeping on a bed and nayeon was leaning her head on his bare chest.
"Unnie," I looked up at her, "what is this?"
Nayeon stumbled with her own feet, " Ari, let me explain."
Nayeon started, " it was not like what you think. I was a colleague of yeosang. He was a very gentle and sweet guy which made me fell for him. I was in a complicated and toxic relationship at that time . And I wanted to have a perfect guy like him for myself."
She put her face in her palms, " I wasn't in a right mind at that time. I was so selfish and evil that I only think for myself. When I found out that he had a fiancé , I got an idea, a horrible idea, which is to steal him from you."
"It was the night of our company's annual business party, he got drunk and everyone spent the night at the nearby hotel. So I sneaked into his room and took that photo. Then," she stopped.
I looked at her with tears in my eyes, " then, what?"
"I sent those photos to you, which caused you guys to get into a big argument. Then, when I realized my mistake, everything had happened."
She cried, " I know my wrongdoings. I don't deserve your forgiveness."
"When I meet you that day as yeti's friend ,I was so shocked. I was so afraid to face you. I'm sorry, Ari."
My brain stops functioning .
My whole body trembling with shock.
My head got dizzy.
My eyes are blurry.
And everything went black.
