Their relationship progressed as any relationship. Obviously the added stress on Kara that Hyungwon wasn't human was taking it's toll.
She couldn't tell anyone.
She couldn't see him until after dark.
She couldn't handle it.
So she told him.
"Hyungwon. It's hard for me. I don't think I can handle this anymore."
"There is a way. I'm willing to take it if it means I get to stay like this forever."
"You don't mean that I have to become one of your kind do you?"
"No there's another way. I can become human."
