It's been 4 years since she saw him physically. Never again would she imagine seeing him again, standing in front of her, smiling as if nothing happened in the past.

"How are you, Byul?" He asks, smiling, not showing any signs of guilt.

"What are you doing here," She whispers, not wanting to believe her eyes. The man who hurt her, left her alone in times when she needed him the most, is now back right before her eyes.

"I came to see you," He simply says in a low husky voice that she once loved. "I missed you."

She laughs, not because it's funny, but because it's ridiculous. "I won't buy that shit anymore, Mr Jung Joonyoung."

She stares at him, taking in his physical appearance, he's gained weight now, thankfully. His hair messily swept out of his forehead. Dark circles under his eyes. He looks tired, but nonetheless, he still looks handsome. Without realising, tears eventually escapes her eyes and she quickly turns around to wipe her face.

"You're an asshole, Joonyoung."

"I know," he sighs deeply, "I'm sorry."

"That's it? I'm sorry? That's all after what you've done?" She asks, scoffing in disbelief. "Joonyoung, you left me alone without any heads up, you left us. With nothing. I never heard from you since that day, no news of you. And the next thing I know? You became the talk of South Korea, you appear in every single news regarding your band. You debuted as a singer and did not tell me shit, you fucking left me alone without saying a word and now you're back? What for?"

"I wanted to apologise, for leaving you just like that four years ago," Joonyoung says calmly despite seeing Byul about to lose her mind. "I know what I did was wrong. I came back to find you, but you already left and I couldn't find you anywhere. I tried contacting Bora but she wouldn't spill a thing."

"You were too late then," Byul says coldly.

"I know." Joonyoung sighs. "Please, just one more chance, I'll prove it to you, that I am in love with you. This time, I will never leave you."

"You have to try harder than that, Joon," she whispers softly, going back to her work.

"I'll come back again."
