Minji: Wassup

Lee Mark is typing...

Lee Mark: I, um, heard about it. 

Minji: About what?

Lee Mark: Must I tell you myself?

Lee Mark: I figured you'd already get the idea... 

Minji: I'm blank. 

Lee Mark: I guess I have to be the one who has to say it. 

Minji: Funny, you've been texting more often these days. Last time I checked, we can go months without even sending a single 'hi' to each other. What's different?

Lee Mark: The difference is that you're now involved with a friend of mine. 

Minji: Oh.

Lee Mark: See? I knew you'd understand the topic sooner or later. 

Lee Mark: So, um, how did it happen?

Minji: Don't act oblivious. I know you know too.

Lee Mark: You're right. I do. 

Lee Mark: But I wanted to know your side too. 

Minji: What are you? A double-agent?

Minji: You already know what happened. Please don't let me relive those horrible moments from before. 

Lee Mark: I mean, it's been eleven days since it happened... 

Minji: Do you know how we are now?

Minji: We sit next to each other. Do you know how awkward it is between us? We barely give each other eye contact. Whenever we're assigned to homeworks or projects or whatsoever, we do it quickly so we won't have to stare at each other for more than three hours. We don't even talk to each other anymore. 

Minji: I'm trying, oppa. I'm trying so hard to hold in all this pain. I know he is too. But if he wants to end it, I'll let him do it. Because that's what he needs, am I right? Maybe this will make him happy. Let him feel less hurt. If that's the case, I let him go. I let him go, oppa. Even if I was the one left hurt in the end, I let him go. 

Lee Mark: Choo Minji... 

Minji: I know. We're both probably being idiots. I can feel it too. I know he regrets his decisions. But what can be done? It's too late. None of us will be daring enough to approach each other first. 

Minji: I'm going to make a stupid mistake. I probably already have. But as of now, I don't care. 

Lee Mark: Why don't you? You shouldn't be one to give up very easily, Choo Minji!

Minji: You're right. I usually don't give up easily. 

Minji: The difference now from the me then and the me now is that I'm done. Jeno drew a line. 

Minji: Look, I work like this: I'm willing to fight. I'm willing to give up everything and make sure you're okay. Only if you let me. If you don't, and you do THIS to me, then I won't bother anymore. I give up. I won't bother. 

Lee Mark: Choo Minji, he's your friend. No, he's the person you like!

Minji: Maybe. But not anymore.
