It was 8pm and yet.... Chaewon were still sitting in a beautiful white sand, in front is a peaceful ocean, and only a few individuals are around.

She tiredly poured the soju into the small plastic cup and chuckled bitterly.

"I failed again..." she mumbled to herself as she drunk the soju. Right now, this alcoholic beverage is the only thing that helps her lessen so much feelings.

"I did my best, right? I studied, I took notes, I highlighted everything...I even had so much sleepless nights...."

"...how come I failed?" she opened another bottle and removed her coat.

She was talking about her board exam which she failed....for the second time.
She'll wait another three to five months for her last chance....and if she failed again, she will start again....from the very beginning.

She's a law student who only needs to finish board exam but she always fails.

Chaewon looked at the white envelope with a disappointed face. She took the sheet containing her result from the exam, it was all useless...her efforts are now useless.

"Maybe I should just give up?"

She crumpled the paper and threw it not so far away from her.

"I'm useless..." she gulped on her drink as tears forming into her eyes. The feeling she have right now is disappointment. She was so disappointed at herself.

Meanwhile, at the same place, same feeling, there's someone walking in the shore, hands on her coat's pocket and hating today's weather.

It was nearly winter.

"Aigooo...I think it's better to just go back, it's getting cold..." she said and tightened her grip from her hand warmer.


Not so far away from her, she saw a girl threw something, she brought her eyebrows together and followed where the paper landed.

"Is she drunk?" she asked herself. Her curiosity eats her so she walked towards the crumpled paper and read it.

As soon as she read the letter, she looked at the girl sadly. "She's probably hurt...she needs someone..."

And with that...she slowly walk to the girl.

Chaewon is about to open another bottle when someone sat beside her. She looked at the person with a confused face. I mean, who is this person bravely seating with a wasted stranger?

"Staring is rude...but I like your eyes tho." the person stated, still looking at the sky above.

Chaewon chuckled, this stranger is something...

"You know what, drinking and getting wasted doesn't help...it won't solve anything." the stranger finally spoke and looked at her.

The stranger took her bottle and placed it in her side, don't blame Chaewon for this but she wants to punch this person right now.

"You don't know anything..." she replied, looking away.

"Uhuh...you failed again, right?" Chaewon immediately looked at her the moment she said that. The stranger just smiled at her, "Don't worry...they said, third chance is the best."

Chaewon hates to admit but she is now feeling comfortable with this random person beside her.

"How did you know?" she questioned, the stranger just gave back paper she threw.
