The doorbell rings. Seunghee and Jeonghan are inside Seunghee's apartment trying out her newly baked strawberry pie. The kitchen is a mess with Jeonghan trying to pry on her business and ultimately interfering with her work.

"I'll get it. Don't eat the pie okay?" Seunghee demands.

"Just hurry up before I get my hands on them," Jeonghan jokes.

"Argh! Just don't touch it!" she groans and he just has this sly smile on his face.

Seunghee runs to the door and opens it in a hurry, trying to shorten the time for Jeonghan to lay his hands on her treasured strawberry pie. But she's surprised to see the person on the other side of the door.

"Noona!!" the person screams as he gives her a tight hug.

"Hansol?? What are you doing here?!" she exclaims excitedly and glad too upon seeing the boy.

The white boy kisses her on the cheek as he lets go and faces her. She doesn't react violently or indifferently though, in fact she just let him do it, like he does it so casually.

"What else? I came back for you!" he cheerfully answers.

"Wait, are your parents here with you? When did you arrive? Since when were you here?"

"Who is it Seunghee?" Jeonghan says as he approaches behind her.

Seunghee turns to him lovingly when he puts his arm around her shoulders infront of the visitor.

"We've got a foreign visitor Jeonghan-ah. Well, when you look at him physically though. Oh yeah, Hansol, my boyfriend Jeonghan is here. Jeonghan, this is Hansol, an old friend of mine."

She smiles at Hansol, emphasizing to him that she's taken now. Jeonghan just looks at the boy indifferently.

Hansol stares at Jeonghan quite shocked. It's not real. He's finding it hard to believe even if he's already seen it with his own two eyes. The expression on his face is a combination of hurt, sadness, disgust and anger.

They are at the living room now. Hansol still staring at Jeonghan for quite a while now, and to be accurate, since he saw him at the door. Seunghee serves him tea and a piece of tart. They sit across each other with Seunghee sitting beside Jeonghan. Jeonghan is all over Seunghee though, with an arm on her back, just circling around her waist.

"So when did you arrive? And how exactly did you find my place?" Seunghee asks in a lively tone. She's so thrilled to see this boy again. "It's been what, five years?"

"Six years noona. I arrived just today. I asked your mom directly and she gave me your address," Hansol replies. "And just who the heck is this guy and why is he all over you?" he asks not containing his bad temper any longer.

It makes Jeonghan retaliate, "Watch your mouth boy," he warns aiming to reach him but Seunghee holds him still.

"Jeonghan no," she sighs. "Hansol, you're eighteen now. You should act like one. Stop being spoiled. Not everybody's gonna understand you."

"I'm eighteen now noona, that's why! What I don't understand is the fact that you're letting this guy touch you!" yelling and pointing a finger at Jeonghan.

This time Jeonghan doesn't let it go anymore, "Are you trying to pick a fight, brat?"

He bolts up and picks Hansol's collar up vigorously. Hansol jerks to fight back lifting his fist up but Seunghee stops them screaming.
