"You didn't have to walk me home, you know." I looked at Hyunjin and he was looking straight in front of him.

"It's fine. I'm on my way home anyway," he said, smiling with his eyes.

We were walking side by side to my house under the dark daylight. It was probably going to rain soon. It was nice to go out together with Hyunjin. We were rarely together alone without Haeun but I felt comfortable around him nonetheless.

When I turned to look at my far left, I could spot a young man with a white cap on his head and a mask covering his face. The person looked like Mark but I knew it was probably not him.

"By the way, since when was Haeun sick? Because I think I she kept on coughing on the day before I went to LA," I asked out of worry. If she was sick since then, it would mean that she had been sick for almost a week.

"If you knew you might laugh," he chuckled. He added, "She only started to fall sick this morning but it was because she stayed up last night." Hyunjin grinned while shaking his head.

I laughed. "What was she doing?"

"You should ask her yourself," he shrugged.

"Alright, now I'm curious," I squinted my eyes at him. Before I knew it, we were already in front of my house.

"Thanks, Hyunjin. I really enjoyed the company."

"No problem. I'll get going now. See you next time!" He waved at me while flashing his charming eye smile, I just had to admit. Of course, Mark's would melt me and I would've felt the butterflies in my stomach. Hyunjin was someone who I couldn't see more than a friend. A good friend.

I was walking around the neighborhood along with my manager to JYP Entertainment. We usually go by the van but today, I wanted to feel the air in my face.

While passing by the alleyway which I usually use to go to Kiera's house, I saw her at the end of the alleyway.

She was walking with an unfamiliar young man who looked like he was around Kiera's age. They were laughing and somehow, stupidly enough, there was a pang of pain in my heart.

That night, I was grinning when I recieved a call from Mark.

We talked for a few hours, the longest we ever talked on the phone. It was fair enough since we haven't seen each other for awhile.

Though, I couldn't keep my head away from that one thing we talked about.

Flashback

"Would you ever cheat on me?" he asked.

I got nervous. "Why would you ask something like that?" I answered.

"Well, I don't know. Just because. But is it wrong to ask?"

"Well, not really I guess," I agreed but my voice was cracking.

"Why do you sound nervous?" he chuckled. "Are you hiding something from me?"

"Hide what?" I asked, confused.

"No, nevermind. I was just joking," cackled Mark.

Seriously? Is that kind of conservation a joke to him?
