Jaejoong got home from singapore and wanted to gonout with his friends. He's the son of the big company owner in this town, his family is known for helping a lot of people especially with volunteering for the community.

They went out. It's Jaejoong's treat since he's back in town.

Byul looked around, his eyebrows furrowed- there's a lot of bodyguards in the area spending a lot of time with Jaejoong- the youngest and only son of the big company owner. She knows that it's there for his protection.

"You have a bodyguard from your ex?" Hwasa whispered to which she replied with "no. that's not mine, it's jaejoong's"

It was weird. Jaejoong doesn't like having them around him, if it's an ordinary day- it's just 2 or 3 but right now there's atleast seven of them. One is a few steps away from jaejoong while talking to the bartender.

"The company owner got some death threats, it's been 4 days already. That's why Jaejoong's not supposed to be home yet but he asked to book his son a flight home." RM mentioned.

"What's with the death threat?" Byul asked worrying about what's happening.

"We don't really know, maybe it's because he's planning to expand his business." Changsub added.

Byul felt sick in her stomach- she couldn't believe that she's hearing this. How an individual's life could be put at stake all because of power and position.

And her gaze is now fixed to jaejoong who's now making his way towards her direction, he waved his hands at byul with the biggest smile in his face, it warms byul's heart and gave a smile back to him.

"You guys can order whatever you want, don't worry." Jaejoong said.

He already gave his card on the counter. If he's the one treating them it's what he does all the time. So that they can charge it to him and for him to not forget to pay if he's tipsy or drunk.

Byul sits and drinks there with her friends while they all talked about marriage- how changsub and solar talked about marriage and how hwasa and rm said that they want to get married soon enough.

If there's something that byul learned while looking at how love evolves from time- that would be: marriage is not for everyone.

She has a glass of mojito and she's drinking from time to time. She had emptied a few glass already.

"Byul, are you feeling dizzy?" Jaejoong asked.
She just infomed him that she's still okay. He smiled.

But Byul couldn't look away, her haze was fixed on the man sitting next to her observing his features. How he looks different when he's focused on listening versus when he smiles slowly and laughing.

Byul was pulled out of her trance when Hwasa screamed out of frustration. Jaejoong almost caught her staring so she rose up to her feet, she walked away without a word.

She decided to walk in the darker side, she noticed that one bodyguard was following her but she told him that she can manage.

"Byul.."

She took in a deep breath before she smiled and looked at him.

"Why are you here? It's dangerous for you to be alone."

She didn't say anything and just let out a small smile. She lowered down her head. She felt tired, exhausted.

She's confused of what was happening.

She was tired, she's hurting. Ever since Jin came back she was restless. She kept on rewinding the hard days- how she carried min-joo for nine months, how she craves weird foods and never got it, how she struggled to pay for her monthly check-ups and a lot more. Plus the fact that she's dealing with her heart breaking upon being away from Jin.
