Nayeon's Pov

Jihyo has been acting strange for a few days, ever since she and Dahyun had an argument at the office, she hasn't been talking to us.  They argued because of Kat.

Kat.  the only man who captured my heart, no one else.

I've been feeling this about him for a long time, I love him but he loves Mina who is our boss and one of my best friends.

I was not happy when I found out that Kat and Mina broke up, but I felt sad for Kat.  I know how much he loves Mina, and he will never be able to fool Mina nor cheat on her Mina is so lucky to have him.

Weekend.

Sunday is the Schedule when we will measuring gowns to wear for Mina and Jeong's wedding.  Jihyo requested that if possible she would leave first after we fit the gown.

After we measured it, she left the botique.  I was curious about her actions so I followed her until we reached a restaurant where a woman was waiting for her.  The woman's face was familiar to me, until I realized that she was the woman with Kat in the pictures.  I secretly took a seat behind the table where they were sitting.

And I was shocked by what I heard.

"Jihyo right?"

"Yes Doc"

"Just call me Yeri, oh by the way. These are the painkillers that Kat will take. Please give them to him.. " said the said doctor and sighed.

"Doc, is there nothing else we can do to save Kat's life"

I felt heavy when I heard...

"I am sorry Jihyo, but even if I like it, Kat doesn't want to fight anymore. He has been enduring the pain for several months. All we can do is pray and make her remaining days in this world happy"

I noticed that Jihyo bent down, later I heard her sobbing in front of the Doctor.

I couldn't stand it anymore so I confronted them both.

Nayeon: Jihyo!!

Jihyo: Unnie!  What are you doing here?

She quickly wiped his tears.

Yeri: Aah.. I need to go Jihyo, was it nice meeting you?

Nayeon: Nayeon... Im Nayeon..

Yeri said goodbye to the two.

Nayeon: Jihyo...

Jihyo: Unnie?

Nayeon: why didn't you say that...

I hold back tears

"That Kat is going to die?!" Why didnt you told us?

Jihyo:  Unnie--  I  just found it out just recently and another thing is that he doesn't want to let everyone know about her illness.  Even with Mina.

Nayeon: and what about Yeri?

Jihyo: Unnie, it's not true that Kat cheated, in fact Yeri hugged Chae then to comfort him, because.  Yeri is his doctor

Nayeon: because what..

Jihyon: because Yeri let her know that her life is certain.....

I knelt on the floor and my tears started to fall and I couldn't stop crying..

Nayeon: where is he Jihyo?  Where is Kat I want to see him..

Jihyo: Unnie he doesn't want to let-

Nayeon: Please Jihyo I'm begging you, even if it's the last time I can be with him.

I begged her....

Jihyo: I'm willing, unnie, but please don't show him.  I don't want him to be angry with me....

After hours of driving, Jihyo and I arrived at Kat's hometown.  The air is fresh and crisp.  No noise of cars, no high-rise buildings..

We stopped in front of a house.

When we got out of the car, Tita, Kat's Mom, greeted us right away.

"Oh Jihyo... Nayeon?"

Nayeon: hello aunty..

I smiled at her and she smiled at me, but I felt that her smiles were forced..

Jihyo: ah Tita here, I've brought Kat's medicine.  How is he?

Tita took a deep breath.

" Well, he just fell asleep, he had a headache earlier and the scariest thing is that he temporarily lost his sight"

Jihyo and I noticed that Tita was crying so we hugged her..

We calmed him down for a few minutes, and after that we took him to his room.  I'm nervous about what I might see, I don't know what to do.

When Tita opened the door of Kat's room, I looked around and focused my attention on a bed in the middle of the room.

My mouth dropped when I saw him in that state.  "That's not you Kat" I complained..

We noticed that he was sleeping so I came to him and I couldn't stop crying.

It's a heavy feeling to see your loved one suffering, and you feel useless because you can't help him in his situation..

I held his hand, took out my phone and took a picture.

I couldn't stand what I was seeing, before I left the room I kissed her forehead...

Mina POV

This past few days my best friends Nayeon and Jihyo have been acting weird.  Every lunch break we should eat together but now they avoid.  And whenever I talk to them, they treat me coldly.

In just a few days, I will marry Jeongyeon.  But why instead of being happy that I'm getting married, they don't want to.

After Kat and I broke up and she resigned from my company, I didn't hear any news about him.  Meanwhile, Jeong is always by my side and he helps me forget the sorrows I'm experiencing.

Jeong confessed to me again about his feelings for me, I agreed to let him court me and after a month I answered him.  Because I saw his sincerity.

And now we are about to get married.  Because... not actingBecause we love each other, but because of the arranged marriage set up by our parents.

There's a part of me that's okay with marrying him, but there's also a part of me that's looking for him.  Kat...

Every time I think of Kat, I smile, especially when I remember the happy days we spent together.
The last time we met was when he handed me his resignation letter.

____Flashback____

Kat put down the envelope

Mina: what's this?

Kat: resignation letter..

Mina: Why?

Kat: you have an Ex and also you are my boss. I think it will affect our work if we work together.

Mina: If that's your decision okay, you can go now.. get your things and go.

Kat: I just want to apologize, sorry if I can't meet your expectations as your boyfriend.  But I will treasure everything.  Thank you for being my girlfriend for years.  And it's okay if you didn't give me a chance to explain cuz I understand, you deserve to be angry because I'm keeping secrets.  "I love you Mina"

And that's the last word I heard from him..

End of flashback____

I still love him, but I can't because I'm getting married, and I'm Pregnant......
