Jungwon's POV

"Won! Stop it!! Calm down!" Daniel shouted repeatedly as he tried to stop me.

"Who do you think you are!? What do you think you know about my life?! My sister's?! My family?!" I shouted, throwing another punch at his face.

Sh*t, I can barely breathe.

Daniel finally managed to pull me away. "Cut it out, Won. Calm down, let's go now," he said, caressing my back.

"Sorry guys, we'll leave now," he said, pulling me outside.

"Ouch!! Lola, be gentle, please."

"That's a farewell party, not a boxing match. Look at your face now, you look like a mess. Just be thankful nothing bad happened to you," she berated as she put ointment on my freshly made wounds.

"Yeah right, I literally said just ignore it, but you didn't listen. You're real lucky I was there," Daniel interrupted.

I rolled my eyes, frustrated. "Then what do you think I should do? Just let him insult my sister in front of me?" I asked, raising an eyebrow at him.

I don't know either. I'm not usually like that. Maybe I just really got enraged, or it's the effect of alcohol.

It's Sunoo.

I sighed. "I should go now, Lola. Sun is calling me," I said, hugging her real tight. "Is it really fine? How about you? What if I just cancel it?"

She chuckled, swatting my arm playfully. "Are you serious? I've lived for decades already; I can take care of myself. Your cousin Daniel is also here. I'm perfectly fine, don't worry," she reassured me with her smile.

"Yass, just leave it to me," Daniel said proudly, giving me an OK sign.

I hugged her once again. "For real," I chuckled. "Okay, I'll go now then."

She hummed in response. "Be careful, okay? Remember what I said to you: 'Be happy, do everything and whatever you want,'" she chuckled. "Okay, go now. We don't want you to miss your flight."

I bid them farewell, then finally left.

Even though she reassured me, I still know that deep inside she's worried-no, maybe I'm actually the one who's worried.
