Previously; Jackson let out a heavy sigh, as he reached for the doorknob. As he was opening his door, Mark whispered "You're causing her much greater pain, by holding back your feelings for her."

Meanwhile

"I'm just going to spill everything out. Everything!" Lina was sat on her bed.

"Where is my phone? Phone! Come back to me. Come out come out wherever you are" she called to it, as if it would respond.

Lina is drunk.

She then remembers where she placed it and takes it out her jacket pocket. Scrolling through her contacts, she finds Jackson number and calls him.

It goes to voice mail.

"How dare he not pick up my call! Is he asking for a death wish!? Let me try again." Lina grumbles as she clicks the end call icon.

She calls the second time. It goes straight to voice mail again.

"Aishh.. Jackson-ah.. I can't sleep without saying this... and that's why I called you. You best listen up to what I have to say! Do you know who I am? Do you!?" She pauses for a moment expecting him to talk back. She takes the phone away from her ear and shouts into her phone.

"Yah! Why are you not talking? It's me Angelina. Angelina Chen Harrison!" She slaps her chest with her free hand as she says that.

She then throws her phone down on her bed, fustrated and falls back to lay her head on the pillow. The phone is still on, recording her voice.

"Aishh.. Mark is so nice to me. He's always been so caring.. but you.. I hate you Jackson. You're so mean. You hurt me. You make me cry. Why Jackson-ah? What did I do to you that you hate me so much?"

She starts to cry.

"Jackson-ah. Do you know..." she sighs heavily. " D-Do you know.. I really.. really like you? I've liked you that first day you took me around Seoul."

She turns to her side, looking at her phone assuming it's off as she continued to speak.

"But you don't know that do you? I was really good at hiding my feelings for you. I don't want you to know how my heart always beats fast when you're around me. I.. I can't let you know. Ever! Because.. Because I know you don't feel the same way for me. I'm not pretty enough for you."

Her eyes are feeling heavy. Sleep is slowly taking over her. Lina wipes away more tears from her face as she sniffles.

"But.. I don't blame you. I'm just plain boring Lina." She whispers as her eyes close shut.

"I'm leaving tomorrow to go back home. So don't worry. I won't be around to bother you anymore. I hope you live a happy life." She sighs softly.

She's quiet for a moment before she mumbles "I....love....you" but it's loud enough for the phone to pick up.

The voice mail continues to record her soft breathing as she's asleep, until an hour later, her phone battery dies and the call is ended.

The next day, Lina woke up with a pounding headache. She looked around and realised SooAh wasn't sleeping in the usual spot beside her. Everything that happened in the passed two days came rushing to her mind.

Her Halmeoni passing away. Her and Mark kissing. The argument with SooAh and Jackson. Jackson and Mark fighting.

Lina sat up in her bed, her hands placed to her face as she exhaled heavily. "I'm leaving today..."
She mumbled to herself, as she remembered she hadn't packed her bags yet.
