Seonghwa is not amused the Chois are sitting on his couch. Cina sits in between us on the opposite couch, her and Giselle have a ten second stare down until San clears his throat.
San: We came to talk. Me: We're listening.
Giselle sighs.
Giselle: I'm sorry for disrespecting your relationship. It was completely out of order.
I nod.
Cina: I'm sorry for attacking you, I should've just spoke to you rationally. Are you okay? Giselle: Kind of, you have one hell of a right hook.
They chuckle.
Cina: Come with me in the kitchen to make a snack.
My eyes widen, Cina sends me a reassuring smile before going in the back with Giselle. The kitchen door shuts and San panics.
Me: Don't worry, when Cina is done with a situation she's done. She won't hurt her.
He nods.
San: I don't care about that, are you two going to kill me?
I roll my eyes.
Me: My issue with you came from the situation with my sister. You and I talked about that already, so you're no enemy of mine. Seonghwa: He's my enemy so he's your enemy. Me: Oh, sorry dude. I hate you again.
San scoffs.
San: Seonghwa what did I do to you? Seonghwa: You had no respect for my relationship with Cina. San: You weren't in a relationship! You were in a situationship. Seonghwa: A ship is still a ship, and you tried to ruin that. Then you had the nerve to call her a dare.
I look between the two boys as they go back and forth.
San: Okay I'll be honest at first I just wanted to get inside her panties.
My fist twitches.
San: But then I got to know her and realized how sweet and patient she was. The day I found her in the market a sad mess because of you, made me see just how much I cared for her. Seonghwa: You act like you loved her! San: I almost did!
I squint.

Giselle's point of view
Cina hums as she makes coats the pan with butter, she glances at me and smiles.
Me: How do you do that? Cina: Do what? Me: Smile at the person who tried to ruin your relationship. Cina: I said I forgive you.
She places the nutella sandwich in the pan.
Me: Do you? Or are you just saying that? Cina: Do you not want to be forgiven? Me: I do, I'm just trying to understand how you can forgive someone and move on.
She pauses for a minute before flipping the sandwich on its other side.
Cina: I can't say I'm not still bothered because I am. The fact you actually had sex with him before stings even more but you can't stay in the past forever. There's comes a point in life where you have to accept it happened, learn from it, and move on.
She places Seonghwa's toasted nutella and fluff sandwich on a plate before warming up some leftover chicken strips for Yeosang.
Me: Does that apply to traumatic events such as abuse too?
Her eyebrows furrow together. She sits down across from me and smiles sadly, my eyes widen as she grabs my hand.
Cina: I don't know what happened to you and San in your lives but, I know you too are strong enough to overcome it. Me: I don't think I'm strong enough. Cina: You're venting to a girl who tried to strangle you to death, you're very strong. San might be a dick sometimes but he's actually sweet when he wants to be. You have a good brother and he has a good sister.
She walks over to the cabinet to grab a box of hot chocolate.
Cina: I remember him making me hot chocolate when I got into a fight with Seonghwa. He was really kind.
I smile.

Yeosang's point of view
San: At least I think I did.
Seonghwa sighs.
San: Feelings I developed for Cina was how I feel it towards Saelee once upon a time. Unlike the situation with Saelee, I actually acted on my emotions with Cina. I bought her an expensive ass ring only for her to give it back. Seonghwa: Pussy you never got remember?
San rolls his eyes.
San: I was angry, it reminded me why I never act on my emotions in the first place. I don't like being hurt. Me: So why do you hurt other people?
He shrugs not knowing what to say.
Seonghwa: Maybe he is a human being. Me: You thought he wasn't? Seonghwa: I thought he was a witch that ran on the hatred I had for him. San: I'm sitting right here!
We smile sheepishly.
