"So this is the end of us?" Mingi asks Yunho.

"Us? What us?"

"Yunho, please don't be mad at me. I know what I did was wrong, I'm sorry."

"I'm not mad." Yunho shakes his head. "I really shouldn't be. We weren't even a couple so we can be with whoever we want. Wooyoung has it worse than me since he actually got cheated on by your friend."

"I-I promise I had no idea they were a couple. San never told me about it."

"You don't have to explain anything to me. I don't care."

"Yunho please... I promise that if you give me another chance, we can be an actual couple and I'll never ever cheat on you. Please give me another chance, I won't take it for granted."

"Just the other day you told me you weren't ready for a relationship...."

"Yeah, I know, but..."

"I don't want to." Yunho shakes his head. "You know... when I first met you, you looked so intimidating. I thought you were so hot and cool, so even though I found you intimidating, I still gained the courage to talk to you. I thought, 'If I don't talk to him first, he'll never talk to me and I could miss out on something great.' I was really curious about you and wanted to get to know you even though you were being an asshole to me. And all that for what? For you to end up treating me like I'm nothing? Like I'm easy...?"

"No, Yunho, please..."

"I know I used to bully Yeosang... and that's something I'm not proud of at all. But I apologized to him and learned from my mistakes and didn't do it again. But I can't believe you'd play with me like that."

"No it's really not like that. I didn't do this because of that."

"I don't want to talk to you right now." Yunho looks down. "Bye, Mingi."

"Oww, I'm never drinking again." Wooyoung sits up on his bed and realizes he doesn't have any clothes on. "What the hell happened?" He looks around his room but doesn't see anyone.

He stands up and takes a quick shower before looking at his reflection in the bathroom mirror. He doesn't remember anything that happened last night.

He just hopes he didn't end up forgiving San. "What the hell did I do last night?" He sees some hickeys on his neck.

He touches his lips and a few memories from last night come rushing in. He remembers someone kissing him but his memories are all over the place and he can't remember who it was.

After he's dressed he ends up going to Seonghwa's house. He rings the doorbell and Yunho ends up answering.

When Wooyoung sees Yunho, he can't help but feel nervous. But why? "Oh hey... you're here."

"Yeah, I just got here a few minutes ago." Yunho nods. "Seonghwa's still asleep."

"Oh." Wooyoung just nods and follows him into Seonghwa's room.

"My head hurts so bad." Seonghwa sits up on his bed after a few minutes.

"Well, you did drink a lot last night."

"Not more than you two." He touches his head in pain. "You two were having the time of your lives and even made out."

"We what?" Wooyoung asks confused.

"No we didn't." Yunho shakes his head. "What are you talking about?"

"Yeah, okay." Seonghwa nods. "By the way, where did you two go? After you went to talk to Mingi and San, I went to look for you to say goodbye, but I didn't find you guys anywhere."
