PARIS, One month later

"Hyung! Please!" Jong Kook hears Kwang Soo exclaim on the other line of the phone call as soon as the younger one picks up.

He is in a car on his way to a sewing factory of a clothing line when he remembers to call Kwang Soo.

"Can you just go home already?! I'm about to die here!" Kwang Soo continues complaining.

"Why?" he asks.

"Ji Hyo-noona...ahh, whatever! I don't know how to handle this anymore!"

"Why?! What did she do?" he asks anxiously.

"She's making me run around for errands. What am I, her servant?"

Jong Kook stops a laughter.

"Are you laughing? You think this is funny?" Kwang Soo says, annoyed. "And can you two just check up on each other directly? Why are you making me your surveillance boy?"

"Yah, I'm just asking how she's doing."

"She's doing great!" Kwang Soo says bitterly. "She's even in the condition to hit me in the head."

"Yah. My wife doesn't hit people without a reason. You must've done something." he defends.

"I just forgot to get hot sauce for her pizza! That's all! She made a big deal out of it!"

He couldn't resist but laugh. He feels good knowing that his wife is alright, though he feels so sorry for her for leaving.

And he couldn't wait to see her again.

He couldn't wait to feel her warmth against him again.

"If you called to just laugh at me, then let's hang up! I also have things going on with my life, you know!"

"Kwang Soo-yah, wait—!"

The other line is ended with a beep.

"Aish, that guy!" he pockets his phone and looks out the window.

Paris is amazing. It has this gentle vibe like in a romantic movie that makes him wish he is there with Ji Hyo to see the new sights he is seeing. She would have made everything greater than it already is.

Remembering her, he feels the pang of pain that he usually feels whenever she comes in mind, which is quite often.

He had always wondered why they always end up away from each other no matter how tight they hold on. 

He hated himself for hurting her. But he is now determined to change and make it up to her.

He is distracted by the sound of his phone notification. 

He opens the notification. It is a video message from Dong Hoon.

His heart skips a beat the moment he sees Ji Hyo's face in the video.

It is obvious that they are in a restaurant with the others, and Dong Hoon is taking a video of Ji Hyo who is glaring at the camera. His insides do a somersault as he stares at the video. She still looks so good despite the expression in her face.

Her cheeks are stuffed with food and her lips are pouting. Then she continues eating her food, uncaring with the camera still focused on her.

"Ji Hyo-ah, you're eating too much!" Dong Hoon teases.

"Stop it!" Ji Hyo slings Dong Hoon's phone away from her direction, getting her out of the video. 

He heard Dong Hoon's laughter before the video gets cut off.

Below the video is Dong Hoon's message saying; Your girl got feistier than ever, Hyung ! Come home quick before we all get scars and bruises.

Jong Kook could not help but smile at Dong Hoon's statement. 

"It's not like I could mellow her down though." he mutters and looks out the window again.

He could not wait to get home.
