"You know what I noticed as Cupid?" Yeji asks Yeonjun
"Is that it's not me who brings couples together, it's they themselves."
"There's no way a couple could be a couple without talking, I do play a part but all I had to do was push them together and they'll do the rest."
"It takes two people to become friends then possibly to a couple, and I can't control other people's feelings for one another, the heart wants what it wants but it's the other person's heart that matters too..."
She takes both her hands in his "Yeonjun, I never once thought of you after Valentine's Day, maybe when we had a brief eye contact I thought of you but after that, never."
"This whole thing sounds harsh but I don't like you neither do I want to be shot by my own arrows."
In reference to Cupid obviously
"I just, want to stay as friends and if you don't it's fine," Yeji lets go of her grip and stands up to throw her canned drink
"But look on the bright side, this door is close but the others aren't," She flips the tab of the sprite can

The Next Day
A gush of wind came in as Yunho was pedalling past the houses. With her hands wrapped around his waist.
He was blushing, even while he was asleep. The houses around him start losing their shapes.
W-why are the house turning upside down? And- and why is that one shaped like a circle? The surroundings around them started cracking.
"Yunho why do you hate me?" Yeji asked
And the cracks flew everywhere. Yeji was now off her seat and now being sucked into nothingness, Living him alone in a blank space.
He wakes up
-
The Song Residence
"I'm a burden am I?" Yubin asked
"I am really grateful, you feed me, you guys gave me a room, Yeji gave me her clothes and Mr Song even gave me a free ticket to Tokyo, why are you doing this?" Yubin asked Aeri
"It is cause you're preparing me to leave this place and to my family?"
"No, cause you're my daughter's friend, you need to go home so that your family isn't worried," Yeji's mom said
"When you do feel uncomfortable, you can come back but resolve this, talk to them," She pats the younger's shoulders
"No one knows you better than you, you should speak out about how they are treating you."
"You deserve to be comfortable in your own home," Aeri said
In school Yubin was popular. But she had eyes watching her. Working for her mom or not people are watching her, judging her.
Home isn't her safe place but so is KQ. So who is or was her safe place?

"Urgh!!" Yunho freaks out in the middle of a lecture
"What the hell dude," Mingi whisper shouts
He sighs "What am I doing!"
"I can't stop thinking about her," He pulls his hair
"Who?" Mingi asked
"Her feelings, her!" Yunho looks at Mingi, eyes wide
"Yunho, cool down." Yunho takes a deep breath in
"Who's feelings?"
"Mingi!" He whines
"What?!" Mingi asked, lost
"I'm supposed to hate her!" Yunho bangs his head on the table
"See what I told ya, modern-day Aeri."
He sits straight "Modern-day Aeri?" Yunho asked
"Yeah, you're modern-day Kim Aeri while she is Song Sejin."
"Shut up."
-
Yunho was walks out of the lecture hall. Forgetting what the professor talked about. His mind was all Yeji this Yeji that.
"Stop it Jeong Yunho."
As he was slapping himself, he sees Yeji walking to her office.
Yeji goes to her office. Ready to pack up her things. Some things were already packed. She talked to the director about it.
"Mr Bang, you told me when my dad was around, love soared the most right?" Yeji asked
Mr Bang nodded "Yeah, why?"
"And you told me, you wanted love to soar again right?"
"Yes... Yeji what are you saying?"
"What I'm trying to say is..." She takes a deep breath
"Love existed in KQ before my dad or me right?"
Mr Bang slowly nodded his head
"My dad shouldn't have been the route to love in KQ, shouldn't it because of the people of KQ?"
"Sir, you and KQ uni shouldn't be dependant on me when it comes to love."
"Before I entered weren't there couples created without me? Yes, there were," Yeji said
"Love can soar like a big rainbow, it just takes time."
"So that's why I want to say that I want to drop out."
"Yeji, I know this whole Cupid thing is stressful but you shouldn't drop out of KQ," Mr Bang said
"Wait what? Oh no I mean drop this whole Cupid thing, not my major, I work too damn hard."
-
Back at the Cupid's Office
Yeji sighs "This is for the best."
Yunho opens the door
"Goddam what the heck, what do you want Yunho," She said, not looking at him
"I just know it's you, who else would come here without knocking?" She turns to look at him
He then notices the boxes
"What are those boxes for?" He asked
"Why are you here Yunho? Aren't you like supposed to celebrate after 3 years of hatred?"
"I wanted to apologise," He said
"Oh yeah? I wonder why."
"Seriously this time."
"And why? 3 years you wanted revenge and when you did, it only took you a day or two to apologise?"
"I-I don't know I just suddenly had these dreams, maybe it's karma but it doesn't feel like karma, feels like a blessing," Yunho said
Yeji furrows
"Yunho, I have like 3 days before the director changes this place as a new club room, so bye," She pushes him out of the office
"Man that guy is talkative, first this whole Cupid exposes thing then Yunho lying to me and Yubin, then Yeonjun suddenly coming back and now this?!!"
