-Jiyeon-

It was another day of work, Yubin was over again and I was busy trying to keep her entertained. Luckily, the house was full of things to do. For the first time, I actually used the hot pool and the karaoke room.

Soon Yubin left with her mom and I was at home alone again. I pulled out my phone to see a large number of missed phone calls. Jinhwa had called over 20 times through the pass 12 hours. I had my phone on the side and silent so I didn't here any. There was another 5 from my mom.

I called my mom first, asking what was the matter. She said she called because Jinhwa said I wasn't picking up. So I decided to call Jinhwa, but he didn't pick up. I sighed and got ready to go out.

I wanted to enjoy the freedom I had before anyone finds out who I am. I circled around shops looking for things to buy. It was the first time I bought so much, the bags were so heavy that I decided to put them in my car and go back to the mall to get some food.

I looked at the map and decided to go to the cafe I always did. But it wasn't as pleasant as it usually was. As soon as I entered  the cafe I saw Jinhwa, sitting there, facing a girl I never seem before.

I bit down on my lip and sat down quietly and ordered my food. I watched as the flirty girl stood up to go to the restroom and I made sure she left before I rushed over and sat in front of him.

He looked up startled by the fact that he was caught red handed. I frowned, "Jinhwa what are you doing?"

"Just hanging out with a new friend." he shrugged.

"Friend? She clearly likes you and I don't like that." I pouted, crossing my arms, "Do you not like me anymore?"

He doesn't say anything. I knew him well enough to know he would never cheat on someone he loved, which meant his feelings for me were disappearing.

"Look, Jiyeon. I was disappointed you weren't listening to my calls or ever trying to visit me. Every time I went over to your place, no one was at home. I just can't stand this way of living. And-"

"Jinhwa, who's this?" a voice behind me asked, I turned around to see her a tint of anger on her face. I opened my mouth to reply, "I'm Jinhwa's gir-"

"Oh she's just a coworker, she was sent here to tell me some things on my business trip since I didn't pick up." he smiled at the girl.

I stood there wide eyed, totally shocked at what excuse he had used. It wasn't until he nudged me I went back to my senses.

"Ah I didn't hear that could you repeat?"

"Are you really Jinhwa's coworker?" she asked.

I looked at Jinhwa and his guilty eye pleaded me to follow the flow, "Ah, ne, I am. It seems like you guys are out on a date I'm sorry I interrupted you." I faked a smile, "I'll be going now."

I walled away and went up to the counter to ask for takeout instead and I went back home.

"Yeah and that girl was so bratty. Like she looked like those typical 'I'll steal your guy's girl."

"Well from what you've told me about your boyfriend, it looks like he really did lose his feelings for you." Ahreum sighed from her side of the call.

"That's not helping." I grumbled.

"Sorry, it's just what I think." she whispered cautiously.

I giggled, "I'm not that scary am I?"

"I don't know," she paused, "Maybe?"

I frowned, "Really?"

"I'm just kidding, your one of the nicest people I know." she laughed, "Anyways I have to go to the reunion now. Talk to you later."

She hung up and I was left there on the couch to think again. I grabbed a nearby pillow and covered my face with it. I screamed on the top of my lungs into the pillow, my screeches were muffled by the wide pillow and so no one would wonder if I was in trouble.

"What's wrong with you?" a voice asked, I jumped up and fell of the couch and banged my head on the floor. I stood up quickly and rubbed my hand to my head.

Seungcheol sighed and walked over, grabbed my head violently and pressed his palm on my forehead. [play TRACK 4]

I kicked him away and glared at him, I was suddenly furious, "It's all your fault!" I shouted and I ran upstairs, into a random room, and slammed it behind me at full speed that the door could have fallen down.

Why does he just keep making me mad?
