"But I want to see your face. I want to see you. I want to be with you. Please...just stay in my life...Even if you hate me I would still want to visit you. I would want to make sure if you're eating right or to see if your mother is okay...I don't want you to leave", Wonwoo begs, another tear slipping his eye.

"Let's part ways, Wonwoo. If I stay, then I'd suffocate with guilt. If I leave, then you could forget about me and I could start a new life. Lets leave each other's lives like this because this is for the best. You start a new chapter while I start a new chapter", Taehee shakes off his hand, turning around and starts to walk away.

"But why are you suffocating with guilt? I'm breaking right now because every time I see you...I know you hate me. I feel awful for all the things my mom did, what I did to you", he gulps.

"You really are blind, huh?", she scoffs, turning around to face him. "I...I fell in love with you and finishing this revenge was one of the hardest things to do because I was hurting someone I loved. I loved you, Wonwoo and maybe I still do but—", she walks up the stairs with tears filling her eyes, "—this is for the best. I could lose all feelings for you while you wouldn't have to worry about my feelings for you"

Taehee turns around once more, a tear slipping from her eye. "I fell in love with you to only get my heartbroken. How stupid am I?", she asks before running to her bedroom, slamming the door.

Wonwoo stays frozen in his place, tears suddenly falling faster and faster. He wants to say so much but all of the words are clogged up in his throat, not being able to stumble out.

'I loved you, Wonwoo'

He starts to cry, his breath quickening as his knees grow weak, falling onto the floor and covers his face with his shaking hands, weeping into them. He wants to scream, he wants to kick and yell at the top of his lungs but nothing comes out. He hates everything—he hates how he can't do anything right, he hates how he only hurts people that care for him.

There are three words that Wonwoo wants to scream out, that he wants to tell the whole world about. There are three words that he wants to keep on saying over and over again, run up to her right now and tell her everything. To hug her tightly, to hold her and never let her go.

But he can't because he knows that it wouldn't change anything.

I love you. I love you so damn much, Kim Taehee.

But all I do is mess everything up.

"Thank you for being on this journey with me. I will forever be grateful for watching EJS and allowing me to truthfuly. But most of all, thank you for putting your trust on me along with EJS. This may be a sad moment, but I couldn't be happier seeing what I have accomplished with my short time here. This is Kim Taehee, signing off"

She sighs, walking off the desk one last time. "Did I do good?"

Dongho nods, crossing his arms.

"You did really good, Taehee", Chan gives her a weak smile, trying to hide his tears. Vernon gives her a thumbs up, smiling as best as he can. Taehee frowns slightly, seeing how hard both boys are trying to cover up their sadness.

"Guys, don't be sad because of me", she says sadly, walking up to the both of them. "I can always visit...I can even give you my new address right now. Here", she quickly writes down her new address, handing them slips of paper. "We'll keep in contact"

"But who would I annoy?", Vernon croaks out, lowering his head. "Who can I fool around with?"
"Who would be there to make me laugh? To annoy Vernon-hyung with?", Chan starts to cry, lowering his head too. Taehee wraps both boys in a warm hug, both arms around their necks as they hug her back.

"Look at you two idiots...crying over a girl", she tries to keep her composure, trying not to cry with them. "We'll keep in contact, okay?"

Taehee returns back to the penthouse quietly, slipping off her shoes and sighs. Entering into the main room, she looks around the place and remembers every little thing that happened here. When she came back from her first interview, when she was going to the amusement park with Wonwoo, Trick-Or-Treating, Christmas, everything.

One more week, Taehee. One more week before you leave everything behind.

Walking up the stairs, she walks past Wonwoo's room, noticing the door is slightly open. Hearing weird noises coming from it, she decides to peek in to only regret it. Scrunching her nose and gulps, she wishes that she could remove that image from her head forever, wishing that it wasn't happening.

What Taehee saw was Wonwoo shirtless, kissing Minyoung passionately before pushing her on his bed.

She shakes her head vigorously, closing the door as quickly and quietly as she could before running into her room, shutting the door and takes out her suitcase, throwing whatever she needs in there. Clothes, small memorabilia, photos, anything. Taehee grabs her jacket, phone and wallet, running out of her room and out the door, not wanting to hear it. She gets in a cab, telling the driver to drive anywhere.

Ending up in a park, Taehee roams around mindlessly, trying to get her mind off from crying.

Why should she care? She doesn't love him anyways.

She sits on a bench, looking around and sighs helplessly, pulling out her phone and presses it to her ear, gulping.

"Hello?"
"Seungcheol, can I stay at your house for the night?"
"Sure, but what's wrong?"
"All I want is a hug and someone to be with"

Seungcheol came to the park and found her sitting on the bench alone, her face stained with tears. He slowly approached her, taking a seat at the empty spot next to her.

"Hey", he greets softly, grabbing Taehee's attention. She turns her head to face the boy, her lips quivering as she crashed into Seungcheol's arms, hugging him tightly.

"Why am I such an idiot?", she cried into the boy's chest, tears staining his grey sweater. He pursed his lips together, stroking her long, knotted hair and sighed.
"You aren't an idiot, if anything Wonwoo is. Please don't beat yourself over him! If you want, you can live with me", he smiled, patting her back. Taehee shook her head, murmuring into his chest.

"I'm going back to Los Angeles by the end of this week", she mumbled, sniffling. "I-I don't think I can stand looking at him anymore"

The boy purses his lips together, pushing Taehee off of him gently so that she faces him.
"That's because you're so blind. Why do you only see Wonwoo and not me?"

"What do you mean? I can already see you", she asked quietly, tilting her head.

Seungcheol sighed, wondering how one girl could be this stupid with love.

"You're so blind—you don't see how much I adore you"

Yet she still didn't understand what he was saying to her.

Why do you keep playing with my heart?You just don't see it, Taehee.

You only see Wonwoo, why not me?
