Woobin's POV

Back then, I did not know who killed Minji's mom. And all I knew was that I couldn't let my bestfriend go on a rampage, and the first person that I saw that night was Mr. Yu. I knew that I didn't have enough time to reach Mr. Kim, so I told him about what's going down, and where Minji might be. He immediately agreed because he said that it would be a waste if Minji would ruin her life for revenge.

But that split second decision that I made, resulted in Minji hating me. She hated me because if I didn't talk to Mr. Yu, he would be safe and happy. And Karina would not lose her father. I tried reaching out to her but she's stubborn and pushed everyone away. I also expected Karina to be angry, but she even thanked me saying that she's proud of her father always doing the right thing. That I should not beat myself up about what happened, and instead, try to move on.

I can't forgive myself though, I struggled with what happened, and was unable to talk to anyone about it, so I decided to change schools and that's when I met Hanni.

I fell in love with her positive attitude towards life, and her ability to make my day bright no matter what.

We were happy. I was just not content.

A lot of people hated me after what happened between Hanni and I, and I can't blame them. In all honesty, I was not an asshole before, it's just that I focused on the things that are unimportant, focused on fame and popularity to mask the loneliness that I feel, and I was unable to see what's really happening.

I was losing Hanni and not only that, I even dumped her.

Stupidity at its finest, I know.

I dumped her, not realizing that she really is the best out there.

I was there when Minji comforted her, I was there when Minji took her to the garage to do god knows what. And I was there when Hanni kissed her.

And after that, all I wanted to do was to get her back from Minji, because I know what she is capable of. I don't want her to have the same fate as Karina. I don't want her to suffer.

So when I forced her to talk to me, I really considered ruining Minji's image, and telling her all I know about her, all the skeletons in her closet, but once upon a time, Minji was my best friend, and no matter how much she changed, I know that she was just a person who had experienced a lot of pain that resulted to this drastic change.

And who am I to talk? When I was the reason why she fell in love with Minji.

Believe it or not, I never planned on ruining Hanni's life with Minji, all I want is to get her back, or make sure that she's safe and happy, so as soon as we left Giselle's shop, I decided to just look out for her, and Minji too. And for some reason, Giselle looked familiar, and I'm pretty sure she would be telling Hanni that I used to hang out with Minji, seeing how protective she is of my ex.

I'm glad that she found another friend, and that she was being treated the way that she should be treated. Something that I was unable to do. Something that I know Minji could definitely do.

I realized that Minji and Hanni were definitely in danger when I went home and almost got killed by someone who threatened to leave Hanni alone. The first thought that I had was that it was Minji who ordered this, but then I realized that Minji may have changed, but one thing is for sure, if she wanted to do things or hurt people, she would definitely do it on her own.

I tried my best to stay awake that night, and fortunately, my friend went to my place, so I was rushed to the hospital.

After that night, I thought long and hard on how I should tell the couple about my experience. I wanted to let them know the danger that they might face, but when I went to Minji's office, I noticed that someone is tailing me, so as much as I would want to alert them, I can't do it rashly.
