If Rosé Park were to describe Dr. Jaehyun Jung before, she'd say without thinking twice that he's a snobbish, self-centered antipathic guy who doesn't tinker a damn. However, now that she got to know him better, she figured out that Jaehyun is a man...

"You'll run away?" It was Sooyoung, the closest cousin of mine.
I didn't answer her. Instead, I proceeded to fix the things I needed in my luggage.
"For Pete's sake, Chaeyoung! Uncle will sure lose all hell again. We're done fixing your mess. Why can't you just stay here this time and face this?"
Just like what I did earlier, I continued making my luggage and let her speak as if I don't apprehend her. I'm used to Joy being this nagger. I didn't want to say anything that will only double her preacher side.
Besides, how would I face the issues when most of the accusations to me are not true at all? This is just the first time that it's accurate and I don't want to face it. Ever.
"And you're boyfriend! Chaeyoung you have a boyfriend! The club incident will be issued from the newspaper soon but I'm pretty sure Junhoe could pull out some strings just to stop the publication. Didn't you think about that? Their family is powerful! And so is ours!"
I paused from doing my luggage and stared at her. Slowly, my eyes became blurry not because I'm dizzy but because of the moist coming out from it. Without even realizing it, I'm suddenly crying.
Sooyoung's eyes widened.
"Why are you suddenly crying?" She sat beside my bed and patted my back.
"It's nothing. F-Forget it."
But Sooyoung knows better. She still stayed by my side even I keep on shutting her off and even I keep on saying I'm alright. She knows right away that something's wrong within me. We are the crying shoulder of each other. I know she knows that something's not right with me.
When my crying subsides, she slid her way in front of me and lowered her head to look at my eyes.
"What exactly happened, Rosé?"
I chewed on my lips. "Junhoe's... cheating." A tear fell from my eyes once again.
Her jaw dropped. She was trying to figure out the right words to say but when she did not, she muttered some curse.
"Since when?"
"I can't remember. He's been doing it for so long that I couldn't remember when it started..."
"Is that the reason why you've gone to the club yourself and get wasted alone?"
That was the gossip roaming around about me that is supposed to publish in the public. My family is known to be a prim and proper clan. I, being one of the fishes in the club make me canceled. I didn't know that someone saw me there not until Daddy called me earlier.
