Aera stormed out of Seonghwa's room and ran home crying. She was disappointed with her people. She thought, at least Seonghwa would not just let go of her so easily. She thought, at least he would fight for her. She thought, her parents told her everything but she was wrong. She was crying nonstop after closing her room's door behind her. She felt broken. She felt lied. She felt as if the world was ending around her. She just knew she loved a guy who is not the one she will be marrying. She wanted to run from this marriage but chose not to. She decided to break off the engagement. 

Her mom called and she went downstairs, her eyes still moist because of her tears. Yunho was waiting for her sitting on the couch. He stood up as he saw her. "Aera I-" Aera stopped him by raising her hand. "Mom, I love someone else" She stated making her mom surprised while Yunho just hung his head low. "But Aera, Yunho loves you" Mom tried convincing her. "Mom, I want to break this engagement" She announced and Yunho looked at her with tears in his eyes. Aera had a straight face which was hurting him more.

Her mom looked at Yunho and went to her. "please think one more time, we will be in danger Aera-ya" Her mom was baffled by the situation but she was also the one who caused this situation. She could have told Aera everything when Aera was mature enough to understand but she didn't. "Aera, let's do one thing" Yunho spoke and Aera looked at him with a straight face. "give me ten days, we will keep our engagement on hold, we will be friends for ten days, if you feel like breaking the engagement even after these ten days then I will personally go to church and have a Priest break our tie. what do you think?" Yunho suggested.

Aera wanted to deny it. She wanted to scream her love for Seonghwa. She wanted to run to Seonghwa and convince him back. She wanted to tell them that her love for Seonghwa can't be replaced in just ten days. But instead of all this, she agreed on Yunho's suggestion making Yunho smile while her mom just hugged her. "I will speak with my family, no one will pressure you for this engagement, no one will rather say anything about this engagement. Mrs. Choi, if you can explain this into your family then that'll be better" Yunho said and that actually impressed Aera's heart somewhat.

"So, Aera? Can we hang out in the evening like cycling or some sports if you like sports" Yunho was doubtful but Aera nodded slowly "Cycling" she spoke silently. "Alright! I'll pick you up at 4! We'll have dinner after that, is it fine Mrs. Choi?" Yunho asked excitedly and Mrs. Choi nodded. "I'll get going then!" He called off and went home happily. 

Meanwhile

"San, I'm worried" Wooyoung whispered at San and San nodded slightly. They were attending the last class of the day and Aera hadn't attended any plus Seonghwa's mom called Wooyoung and San to ask Seonghwa's whereabouts; so they were really worried. The bell rang and they packed their bags. "I'll go to Aera's now" Wooyoung said, "I'll come with you as well!" San joined and looked at Minyoung. "Don't worry I'll be safe" She assured him and after giving him a peck on lips, she left for home.

San and Wooyoung went to Aera's home and Mrs. Choi welcomed them warmly. "Aera-ya, your friends are here" She called and Aera came. "It's 3:45 and you still aren't ready?!" Mom asked and Aera's friends were confused. "Mom, I'm wearing this" Aera countered. "Are you serious? Stop hurting his heart and go change!" Her mom scolded. "You both, help her find a good pair" Her mom said with coldest tone and her friends nodded frantically. They went to Aera's room to know what exactly was happening. 

Aera gave them chairs and they settled down. "what's going on Aera? yesterday Seonghwa's mom asked where Seonghwa was and today you both didn't come to college, did you guys fight or something?" Wooyoung asked and Aera just looked at them, "I'm engaged" She announced. "That's great but enjoying yourselves without telling your family is not" San spoke. "We broke up" Aera stated and the boys were genuinely confused.

"Are you okay Aera? You's saying you guys broke up and also saying you guys got engaged?" Wooyuong asked, "Wait, you mean, you guys broke up to get engaged with each other? you could've invited us, I'm sadue~" San concluded annoying Aera. She glared at him. "oh? maybe it's not like that?" San was scared by her glare. "Well, Aera if you don't speak properly, how are we going to get what you mean?" Wooyoung asked and Aera sighed. 

"We got to know that I'm engaged to his cousin from birth that is I'm betrothed to his cousin and we can't undo it. If we do it then we might endager that guy's and my mom along with two of us. So we can't undo it and Seonghwa is supporting this so we broke up in morning." She explained. "That guy Seonghwa's cousin-" "Yunho" "okay, this Yunho guy supports you and Seonghwa or doesn't?" San asked. "Well he was saying he will but Seonghwa broke up" Aera answered. "Just break this engagement! You don't even know this Yunho guy" San exclaimed.

"Well, Yunho suggested that we'll be friends for next ten days and for these ten days no one will say a word about this engagement. If I feel like I don't want to keep being engaged with him then he'll go to church and get a Preist to break out tie. And, He's going to come at 4 to pick me up for cycling" She explained and both the boys were kind of impressed. "Aera-ya! Yunho is here" Her mom called and the boys thought they should change Aera's look or they will get a good scolding from Mrs. Choi. So they digged into Aera's wardrobe (of course Aera told them not to open drawer of her undergarments.) 

They made this outfit for Aera:

She quickly changed and they went down. "Did you both actually work on the outfit or not?" Aera's mom whisper asked and San was already scared. "You're wearing matching outfit!" Wooyoung exclaimed to avoid Mrs. Choi's scolding. Aera and Yunho looked at each other. Mrs. Choi looked at their clothes and was happy. "Wait after they go, I'll make dinner for you" Mrs. Choi whispered making Wooyoung laugh but he nodded at Mrs. Choi's offer. "This guy is actually handsome" San whispered to Aera and Aera scanned Yunho. 

Yunho was wearing:
