"you were right, it was a good ramen." she said, washing the dishes. kihyun smiled as he sat on the kitchen's countertop and stared at her silently. 

yuna tensed when she felt his eyes on her and felt the need to break the silence. "so why do you wear contacts?"

he frowned, tilting his head. "i don't." 

she closed the faucet and dried her hands with the kitchen rag. "yesterday when i met you, you said those were contacts." she pointed at his green eyes. 

he chuckled. "no. i said contacts but didn't especify that i was wearing them." 

she narrowed her eyes. "so what's the truth."

"these is my real color, see?" he said opening his eyes widely, leaning closer to her. she noticed in fact, he wasn't wearing any contacts. 

she swallowed hard. "then why you said contacts?" 

he leaned back and sighed. "well... when i first saw you, i assumed you were related to kibum somehow since i've never seen you before... and when you mentioned my eyes, i confirmed it." he shrugged.

"so?"

"so... that means he wore contacts while he was with you... that's why- he motioned with his hands towards his eyes - i said contacts. he wore them then. not me."

she stared at him confused. "i don't understand."

"yuna-ssi... - he tilted his head - his eyes were green just like mine." 

she chuckled. "no they weren't." 

kihyun hopped off the countertop and sighed. he walked towards the living room shaking his head. yuna quickly followed him. "listen-

he turned to look at her with an annoyed expression. "what are you going to say? that you knew him better because you two were engaged?" he asked, shutting her up in the minute.

kihyun looked an old cabinet on the living room. yuna stood behind him, hands on her waist. "well yes... that's what i was going to say. i knew him - but she stopped talking once she realized she had learned a couple of things from him that he actually hid about himself while they were dating.

she noticed he pulled what looked like a photo album and handed it to her with a careless gesture. "here you have, since you think i am a liar." he said clenching his jaw.

yuna grabbed the photo album between her hands as her heart raced with anticipation. what could possibly be the content? was there pictures that proved that her lover had green eyes? tattoos? a twin brother? all these things he kept away from her and the proof she needed, was right there between her hands? 

she glanced confused at kihyun and felt her eyes filling with tears. the black haired's chest was going up and down faster. "so? won't you open it?" 

yuna bit her lip and looked down at the photo album. "w-what if it hurts me?"

"a photo album?"

"its content." she said wiping away the tears. kihyun closed his eyes and sighed. "then... just open it when you're ready. but don't imply that you knew him better or than i am a liar because you're wrong." he said crossing his arms on his chest.

she sighed, looking down as a small nod left her head. "do you want to keep it?" he asked softly now.

she just hummed. "alright." he nodded. they both remained silent for a few seconds until he cleared his throat. "how is your feet?" he asked pointing at her socks.
