i felt arms wrapped around my waist which made me smile. i always loved her arms around mine. "jeongyeo-. nayeon? what are you doing?" i thought it was jeongyeon. what was she thinking? she suddenly hugs me in public.

"is it bad to miss my friend?" she said with a soft voice. she then moves forward and hugged me again. she inhaled my scent still having me in her arms. "i've missed you so much, ji." she said.

i pulled out of the hug and crossed my arms. "we talked about this already, nayeon. just friends." i said getting irritated. these several days she keeps doing those sweet stuffs to me. she even decrease my alone time with jeong.

she always follow us going home. she said she's making sure we're safe. but it doesn't seem so. jeongyeon and i have quarrels because of this too. "yeah. i accepted that. that was just an act of frie-"

i cut her before she finishes. i need to speak up. "nayeon. it doesn't look like an act of friendship to me. me and jeongyeon's relationship feels uncomfortable too, with your sudden sweetness. nayeon, you know i care for you. but i'm definitely sure that the only thing i can offer you is friendship."

she then walks away with sadness in her heart. i'm sorry, nayeon. i love you, but only as a friend.

i see jeongyeon walking up to me. "i'm sorry." i spoke.

"i shouldn't get my noses into businesses that has already ended. but i just need to ask something that you've never told me before." i said and i can see sweats falling down on the side of her head.

lots of questions comes to my head but it didn't bother going out of my mouth. i'm waiting for her to speak. "w-what do you mean, u-unnie." chaeyoung stuttered. her voice was shaky. nervousness was all over her face.

"sana" just one word and her face grew pale. she remains quiet for a moment. "she's your ex, right? how come i didn't know?" i asked. she looks at me in the eyes. "it's because i don't want you to worry, unnie." she paused for a moment.

"sana hurt me. a lot. she keeps pushing me away. she keeps saying we should stop our relationship. i was so sad. i was sad only to find out why. i tried to reach her for one last time. i came to her house that night. i want to save our relationship...

...but i saw her that night. happily laughing with another woman. it hurts, unnie. you and jeongyeon just broke up that day and i don't want to make you feel more pain by knowing mine." she said tears streaming down her face so does mine.

sana cheated on her and now is regretting it. "i don't understand." after the crying we talked more about what happened to them. mina was clueless about the crying earlier. chaeyoung sent her home first and we continued to talk.

"what do you mean, unnie?" she asks. i seriously understand the situation. "sana really regrets everything about your break-up. and she knows you were hurting because of her but she done nothing about it? it's just weird. i should ask her." i replied then passed her a coffee i made and sat beside her in the sofa.

her eyes suddenly widens. "you're friends with sana?" she asks almost raising her voice. "ah, right. well, yes. remember the sleepover with jeong. she was actually there. turns out she was living with momo." i said. "you also know momo unnie? heol, daebak." She muttered.

i looked at her. "how would i not know. she's jeongyeon's crush." i said softly. "oh. that's nice? i guess." she muttered softly. then everything went silent. we continue watching the movie silently.
