Nayeon was at the bar with Momo. She was telling her about the speech Chaeyoung had given her the day before her and the Japanese girl totally agreed with it. She had told her  the same a thousand times but convincing Im Nayeon is nearly impossible. This time, however, she would change to save her relationship with Jeongyeon if she gave her another chance.

Jeongyeon, meanwhile, happened to be at her restaurant but was completely immersed in her thoughts. Sana and Jihyo had noticed this and the waitress wanted to talk to her but they weren't close enough. It was the Japanese who walked towards her.

-Jeong, is everything okay?

-As always

-Then it's not all okay. Take a break when you can and let's talk about it

Needless to say, Jeongyeon didn't stop for a moment. Thinking about Nayeon was the only way to keep her close and she felt like a fool. Ten in the evening came and she finally finished work. Sana stayed the whole time waiting for her.

-Tzuyu

-Sana?-The girl had come out of the restroom to change and she hadn't noticed that the Japanese girl had remained there.

-Are you avoiding me?

-I think you're a playgirl. You flirt with me but stay late with Jeongyeon

-She's a friend of mine and she's having a hard time

-I just hope you're not a double agent

-I'm not. In fact, I was going to ask you out on Tuesday, which is your day off

-Tuesday?

-Exactly. Won't you tell me you're already busy?

-Tuesday... All right. What have I got to lose?

-Hard to get. I like it- She licked her lips.

-I know- Tzuyu winked at her and then she disappeared.

Sana was over the moon. Her heart was pounding but she stopped immediately when she saw Jeongyeon.

-Jeong, don't you feel like talking?

-Hey Sana...

-Is it still about your ex?

-It's complicated. I love her too much and the thought of being away from her is tearing me apart. We tried to be friends but every time she talks I don't listen to her words, I just pay attention to her lips. I would like to kiss her, hold her tightly and never leave her again. Isn't it silly for me to say this since technically she's the one who's wrong?

-It's not stupid. As much as I don't like your ex and she's my rival, if you really love her and she's really sorry, why not give her one more chance? Nayeon isn't too bad. She also has merits

Sana was referring to the plan she arranged but she didn't know that Jeongyeon knew about it, so she didn't mention it. Sure, her intentions were good but she screwed it up.

Even she Sana had told her that she could give Nayeon another chance. She was now certain of it. She just needed one last confirmation.

-Hello? Mrs. Yoo, how are you?

-Nayeon, dear. I'm fine. What about you? I learned the truth

Nayeon bit her lower lip. -You thinks I'm stupid too, right?

-A crazy, an unconscious, a madly in love. Isn't it like that? Why don't we meet up? I'll be in town in two hours

-Of course

-Jeong! How long ago!- Mrs. Im exclaimed, hugging the girl.

-Seah, I need to talk to you

-Tell me

The two walked over to the couch and sat down.

-What should I do with Nayeon?

-Honey, it's not you who has to ask me

-Do you know the truth?- Jeongyeon asked, thinking about it.

-Truth?

Jeongyeon told her about that night in Nayeon's car and that was the first time Seah had heard that story.

-So she's innocent? Sure, she was wrong but did she have good intentions?- Seah asked, hoping to have understood correctly.

-Exactly

-How are you feeling?

-Shocked. I didn't expect that. On the one hand, I'm so happy to have a person like Nayeon in my life: someone who sacrificed everything just for me. On the other hand, however, she was so stupid. I mean, she threw our relationship away like the restaurant was a thousand times better for me. Nothing is more important than Nayeon. I'd rather lose the restaurant but stay with Nayeon forever. What bothers me the most is that even though she didn't want to, she slept with her boss. She didn't want it but she did. On the one hand I understand that she did it for me, but on the other hand it really annoys me

-I understand you, Jeong. It's normal to feel this way. Nayeon would feel the same as you and I hope she realizes the huge stupidity he has done. Now what do you think of her?

-That she is an idiot but that I love her. I wish I didn't think about her but I can't. Everything brings me back to her, even a trash can. But let's not tell her this

Seah laughed. -Better not

-At work I see Sana and think about everything she did, then I see Sana and Tzuyu and they kind of remind me of me and Nayeon in the beginning. At home, everything reminds me of her. I hold her pillow again and spray her perfume on top of it to feel her next to me. Am I mad?

-You're not yet, don't worry. It's normal. Do you remember what Momo did?

-Adopt a seedling with Dahyun?

-Exactly. Is she crazy?

-Momo? Obviously

Seah laughed. -She's never been too normal but they haven't locked her up yet. Jeong, if you really can't stop thinking about her and want to, give her another chance. You know very well that I don't say it because she is my daughter. I want the best for both. Even if it means she has to cry a little and then find someone else in the future

-Thank you Seah. I'll see what to do

-Mrs. Yoo- Nayeon rushed into her ex mother-in-law's arms with tears in her eyes.

-Nayeon ...- The woman hugged her back and stroked her hair.

-I got it all wrong. I'm an idiot- she said sobbing.

-Take it easy. Let's sit down and talk about it

Nayeon pulled away with tears still in her eyes and nodded. They were at Jeongyeon's home, where Ms. Yoo was staying for a couple of days.

-Nayeon, how are you?

-How should I be? I'm an idiot

-You're not. You were wrong but you had good intentions. Try to calm down

-Ms. Yoo, what should I do to win her back?

-You cannot

-But... I know I was wrong but... I suffered too. I...- she stopped to think. -Maybe you're right. Forgive me for being so selfish

-You can't win her back because she never stopped loving you
