Elizabeth left Minho before he could react to the girl's confession to him. Minho was perplexed at the door of his house as he watched Elizabeth disappear from his sight, leaving aimlessly, only with the intention of fleeing from the boy who had chased her away. Repentance was strong enough in Minho's heart, and he does not know if he should run after her or do nothing to cause no more trouble. His indecision causes him to do nothing but stand still and think about everything he had said to Elizabeth. The blue-haired girl couldn't contain her tears, after going back on her decision for Minho and being rejected like that. Demon takes refuge in a nearby café, sitting at the counter and asking for a bottle of water, wiping away her black tears that washed her face's makeup and taking a deep breath.

"Uh, are you okay?" An unknown but sweet voice sounds next to the girl, attracting her attention. However, her face was not unknown. It was Jeongin, the angel who aroused her interest the other day on the beach.

"I'm fine, thanks." Elizabeth quickly wipes away her tears and hides the reason for her suffering.

The old man behind the counter arrives with the bottle of water that the Demon had ordered. While the girl sails through her cluttered bag to try to find her wallet, Jeongin takes a few coins and puts them on the counter, "I'll pay for the water."

"You don't need to." Elizabeth searches faster to find her wallet.

"Too late." Jeongin announces, seeing that the employee had already taken the coins to pay for the water.

"Angels are really— Well, thank you, but you didn't had to." The girl ends up thanking you for the noble gesture, sketching a smile.

"Well, glad I could make your day better." Jeongin smiles as he sees the girl's mood improve.

"I guess. Huh, can I ask you something?" Demon looks to the Angel's face like she's trying to remember where she knew him from.

"Sure, what is it?" Jeongin arches his eyebrow, with some fear of the girl's attentive air.

"I feel like I already saw you before the volleyball game, did we ever talked or something?" She asks, sure they'd already met.

"At the fair, I looked at you and you noticed." Jeongin reveals when their first meeting took place, with a happy smile for the girl to remember him.

"Oh, right. I knew I wasn't going crazy." The blue-haired girl gets her mind updated.

"Yeah, sorry if I looked like a psycho, your hair just caught my attention." The boy apologizes for his behavior, shyly.

"No, it's alright. Not the first one, maybe I should just get to the normal." Elizabeth shrugged her shoulders and wondered if she should return with her hair to its original color.

"No!" Jeongin reacts instantly, rejecting Elizabeth's solution, until he realizes his own exaggeration and his cheeks blush with shame, "I-I mean, it looks good on you. If it ain't broken, you won't fix it, right?"

"Thank you? I guess." Elizabeth found the Angel's opposition strange, but she doesn't bother to think about it much.

The conversation flows naturally with curiosities from both, and the two of them get to know each other better. Elizabeth starts having fun and laughing at the Angel's jokes, which were bad but good. In no time at all, the two of them know each other better than any of their long-time friends. In addition to knowing each other's names, they already knew their ages, tastes, griefs, some life stories and anything else that came up in conversation. After three long hours of conversation, the Angel looks at his watch and realizes that he is late to meet his friends. He takes some notes and pays for the coffees he and Demon had had and left in a hurry, saying goodbye to the girl and leaving her with a "Same time tomorrow!"
