" WHAT ON EARTH IS GOING ON INSIDE YOUR HEAD KANG MINHEE? " seunghee scolded him once she reached outside of the apartment. " it's 12 am! you should be sleeping by now! you said you had a cold."

the boy couldn't help but laugh. seunghee being seunghee, what do i even expect. he thought to himself. he's glad that she's still nagging at him like an old woman— as she always do.

" i wanted to talk to you about something."

" can't you just do it tomorrow? " she began to yawn and rubbed her eyes. " wait— or are you not coming to school tomorrow? "

he shook his head, " not this time."

" what is it that you wanted to say? "

minhee began to take a step forward towards her—making them stand very close while facing at each other, to the point that she could even feel him breathing.

" i like you, seunghee." he suddenly said. " i've liked you for a long time."











" YES, MOTHER ? "

junho entered the office and closed the door behind him. there he saw— his mother sitting on her usual couch inside her office, together with a cup of tea in her hand.

" lock the door." she instructed simply.

without any hesitation, the boy did what he was told. gulping, he took a seat in front of the woman and fiddled with his fingers— feeling nervous.

" is there something wrong? " he asked, though he regretted asking that question afterwards.

his mother suddenly chuckled. " something wrong? " she placed her cup down and looked at him in the eye. " everything is wrong nowadays, my dear junho."

" i don't really understand." he stated, approaching closer towards her seat. " what's going on? do you want me to do something?"

" i've invited a few of my business friends to come over together with their daughters." she told him. " you and i will be greeting them the day after tomorrow and have a little tea party. so wear something nice and neat, their daughters will be around your age so try your best to get to know them. keep an eye open for whom you liked the best."

junho was confused by the sudden information given. their daughters? why would they come with their daughters?

" but—"

" no buts junho, you've done enough before this. you don't have to add more chaos into this family." she immediately cut him off before even letting him finished his sentence.

" i still don't understand." he raised his voice. " why are you suddenly dragging me into this? "

" because, my dear junho." mrs cha smiled, " i want you to be with someone better compared to that little girlfriend of yours."










" I'M SO SORRY MINHEE." seunghee looked down to her feet as she sat on he bench, beside him. " i never knew."

the two have decided to talk it out at a nearby park around the area. minhee confessed his feeling towards her and explained the reason why he has been avoiding the both of them these days. though it indeed shocked seunghee, she couldn't help but feel bad for her own best friend to go through all of this. she felt guilty— for not paying attention to his feelings.

" it's my fault, for bottling up my feelings like this and now—it's too late." he chuckled and ruffled her hair. " don't feel sorry, seunghee. it's not your fault at all."

" but— i never knew— that all this time." she let out a sigh, " oh my god. i'm so sorry minhee, for making you feel this way."

minhee shook his head, " it's fine and i will be fine. i'm just glad that at least i've managed to lift off another burden from my shoulder." the boy chuckled once again. " don't feel bad. "

" will you be okay? " she turned to him. " i mean— seeing me with junho."

" i told you i'll be fine. you two are my bestfriends, and when you guys are happy i'll be happy too." he smiled. " you deserve someone you love seunghee, and junho really loves you."

" you're gonna make me cry, you know that? " she chuckled and laid her head on top of his shoulder. " god minhee, you mean a lot to me. when you were ignoring us i thought i was gonna lose you, i was so worried." seunghee sighed. " i'm glad it's all over now."

" i'm sorry for making you worried." he said and scooted closer, hugging her. " and i'm glad it's all over too."
