Irene- Chorong ah!
Solar- We miss you!
Chorong- I miss you girls too

Irene and Solar smile at Chorong and join her on the bed. It's like a routine for the girls. They will go to visit Chorong everyday after work. Even if they are tired, they're still coming to check on Chorong's condition.

It's been 2 weeks and these girls are still visiting her daily. They want to make sure that Chorong is fully recover from that incident. Solar leaves the room for a while because she needs to answer the call from her fiance, Hoya. Yeah, they're engaged. Irene looks at Chorong.

Irene- How are you feeling today?
Chorong- Better than last night. Why?
Irene- Do you still have those nightmares?
Chorong- Uhm.. not really. Just some the old memories keep coming while I'm asleep. But you don't have to worry about that
Irene- You don't think about what happened in the cabin right?

Chorong remains silent. She looks down, feeling guilty. She knows she can't keep secrets from the girls. Solar enters the room and sits on the edge of the bed and holds Chorong's hands. She smiles to her best friend.

Solar- Don't keep anything please?
Irene- Nothing's going to change if you hide from us
Chorong- How's.. Suho?

Both of them are shock with Chorong's words. They don't expect for her to ask that. Irene and Solar looks at each other, feeling guilty. If they tell Chorong that Suho's suffering too, she might throw tantrums and tell them she wants to meet Suho. But, they're not going to let that happen.

Chorong- Answer me, how is Suho? Is he doing good?
Irene- Chorong, why are you asking about him?
Solar- Why would you care even after what he's done?
Chorong- How is Suho? Stop bombarding me with excuses! How is Suho? Is he doing fine? Or is he suffering too? I.. I must meet him. I want to meet him

Irene and Solar feel guilty looking at Chorong who is crying. They don't have any intention on making her cry. Why is she asking about Suho? Why must she care about him? After being a total mess, she still want to meet him? Solar comforts Chorong in her hug.

Chorong- Call Suho. Ask him to come. I want to see him. Please
Irene- Chorong, we can't do that. You will get hurt again
Chorong- I don't care, I want to listen to his explanation
Solar- Chorong, don't do this, please? You're not fully recover yet. We can't take you to him
Chorong- No. No, I want to see him. I know he is still waiting for me. He promised me I will be the one for him. No way. Please bring me to him. Please..
Irene- SUHO IS NOT IN KOREA, CHORONG!

Chorong remains silent and continues to cry harder as Irene raise her voice. Solar looks at Irene in disbelief, asking her an explanation. Irene gives a sign means I lie. Solar rolls her eyes, she could do more instead. Ugh. She hugs Chorong.

Chorong- Where is Suho? He will always be here whenever I need him. Where did he go?
Solar- We.. we don't know, Chorong. He said he wants some peace, that's why he left

Oh, dramatic one, Kim Yongsun. Irene pats Chorong's back, wiping the tears on her friend's cheeks.

Irene- Why are you asking about Suho, Chorong? He turned you into a mess
Chorong- Because I still love him, I can't deny my feelings. It is still for him. My heart says him
Irene- After all the mess? I can't understand, Chorong
Chorong- You don't know, right? We both were forced by our parents to break up. That's why I still care about him. I know I sound crazy, but it's so hard for me to stop loving him
Solar- We will always be here for you, girl. Now, stop crying

Chorong smiles sincerely at the girls. She gets on her feet and walks out. Irene and Solar follow her into an empty room. Chorong opens the wardrobe, revealing all her painting stuff and paintings. Irene and Solar look at each other, watching Chorong who's looking for something.

Chorong- Here

Chorong gives both her friends albums. Irene and Solar frowns, what are these? They open it and see pictures of Suho and Chorong since middle school. As they flip through pages, a letter falls from the album Solar holding. She picks it up. Suho's letter.

Chorong- I was mad at him that time
Solar- Can we take a look?

Solar unfold the letter.

My angel,

    Hello, angel. Okay, okay. I'm sorry, I know it's wrong for me to talk to another girl casually like that. I'm sorry because I forgot my limit. Please, please forgive me. Please answer my calls, reply my messages, don't ignore me baby. I know I'm wrong. I promised I won't do that again. I won't talk to another girl again. I will delete all the girls number from my contact except you, okay? Don't be mad at me please? I miss you so much baby. I'm jealous our friends can date while we're distancing ourselves. I promised I won't repeat it again. Okay baby? You know I promised you that you'll be the one for me right? So, forgive me okay? I love you, angel 👼

Handsome Suho😘

Irene- He promised you that?
Chorong- Yeah, but I don't think it's going to happen
Solar- Don't say that
Chorong- What?
Solar- You still have a chance to fix the relationship. Go get him back
Chorong- But how? He's not in..
Irene- We lied. Sorry
Chorong- Hmph!

Irene and Solar pull Chorong into their sisters' hug. Looks like things are going to be different now. They'll help Chorong to be with Suho again. No matter what happened.
