"I never expected that I'll meet you again after few year passed, Heechul."
"Me too. I'm happy to see you again and I mean it." she said cheerfully.
Hankyung smiled but regret was clear inside his eyes and Heechul noticed it.
"It's okay, Hannie. I'm fine now."
"I'm sorry." He said in remorse. "If only I knew his true self, maybe I won't let him being your boyfriend."
"I said I'm fine. Please don't bring up this topic again, okay? Let's talk about the other thing."
Hankyung nodded but seem he couldn't find the right topic to start the conversation, so Heechul decided to open the topic.
"So, where do you live now?"
"In China. I'm arrive yesterday and my cousin takes me to this event."
"Are you married now?"
Hankyung shook his head, "Not yet. How about you?"
"No, I'm still single."
Remorse once again strikes him upon hearing Heechul's answer. Hankyung felt a strange pain inside his heart, although Heechul said she's fine and that wasn't his fault but he still had a part on Heechul's current state now. If only that bastard didn't leave her, maybe Heechul now had happily married with that person. But half of his heart thought, it's better knew early than sorry. He imagining what if Heechul was late to know that the person she's marrying was a jerk, maybe she now will more suffered than before. Still, his regret more stronger.
"I'm so sorry, Heechul." He apologized again, "I'm really sorry."
"Hannie, stop it! It wasn't your fault if I haven't married now."
"But-"
"If you bring up this topic again, I swear I'll hate you forever, Hankyung." she threatened.
Hankyung shivered as he heard Heechul's tone. She only used that tone twice, five years ago and today and his conscious told his mouth to shut up when he sensed that Heechul was really annoyed now. He nodded again.
Heechul took a deep breath. She really hates it. Because of him, her good relationship with Hankyung ruined. Well, she was okay now but Hankyung still feeling the remorse, because he was the person who introduced him to her.

Siwon walked back to his previous spot while holding two glass of drinks. "Kibum, where's Heechul?" Siwon asked when he didn't saw Heechul.
"I don't know. She leave me alone. Why didn't you just keep me company here, oppa?" she asked cutely.
Siwon smiled apologetically "I'm sorry Kibum. Maybe next time." He hand over the glass he was holding and walked briskly to opposite direction.
Kibum stomping her foot in annoyance and almost lost her balance if not because of someone held her in time before she embarrasing herself. "Be careful, Miss." his voice so gentle and make Kibum blushed, "Thank you, sir." she said shyly. That man just nodded and walked away after helping her.
Siwon had walking around the venue but he still couldn't find Heechul. He had asking Sungmin about Heechul, but she didn't saw her too. He confronted a waiter and asked him if he had seen Heechul by described her as accurately as possible. And he pointed to balcony direction after listening Siwon's description. Siwon hurriedly made way to balcony and when he about to pass the separator door, he stopped. He saw Heechul standing with a man, talking seriously. He frowned when once again jealousy clenched his heart. He decided to watch for a minute or more before approaching her and asking the question that had disturbed him since before.
