"Just because the things could have different doesn't mean they could've been better."

Sunghoon woke up next morning, finding Jay sleeping across him, hugging a pillow as soft snores escaped the man. He smiled sleepily before covering his brother with the warm blanket he had kicked away in sleep.

Propelling himself on an elbow, he reached out for his phone from the tea table. He squinted his eyes at the brightness of the phone before he read the time.

8:13 AM

Gingerly removed the warm quilt off him, he landed his naked feet on the wooden tiled floor. Silently whining at the cold atmosphere, he headed towards his room.

Soft snores reached his ears as soon as he twisted the door knob. There she was, her duvet on the floor as she covered the whole bed, her body in an upright star fish position. He giggled before tip-toeing towards her, picking up the blanket from the floor.

He covered her form with the duvet, an ear-splitting grin formed on his face. So innocent, so vulnerable. How could anyone even think about hurting her?

He had never felt angry towards Jaehyun more than this moment. All he ever felt was jealousy.

Cheating on Areun was a problem, but what was pestering him more was the girl whom Jaehyun was cheating on with.

Seo Taehee. Sunghoon's ex girlfriend.

Sunghoon was surprised when he heard the name come out from Areum's mouth during their meet at the restaurant, but he couldn't be sure. There were a lot of girls named Taehee. But, his doubts and suspicions were cleared once he saw her with Jaehyun.

Sunghoon knew Taehee wasn't a girl who would go for men who were in a relationship, which utterly confused him. Perhaps, people change with time.

He kept a new toothbrush by the bed-side, hoping Areum would see it when she wakes up. He smiled at her one last time before exiting the room with his necessities clutched in his arm.

"I'm so sorry, Areum." Juyeon groaned in agony as he clutched my arm tight, clinging onto me like a retard.
"If only I had listened to you once yesterday," He mumbled, "You wouldn't have to go through this alone."

Kim Suah just passed a sympathetic look in my direction, aghast at what I had seen yesterday in front of her workplace.

She didn't know Areum personally, nor did she know Jaehyun, but seeing Sunghoon affected through this made her feel bad too about this whole thing.

"That bloody bastard," Juyeon gritted out, "I will move to Italy and change my name to Piero Pandimiglio if I don't knock his teeth out of his mouth." He yelled before getting up, ready to march out of Sunghoon's apartment.

Suah's eyes widened as she held his hand, restricting the demented boy from making any move they would all regret. He struggled against her grip. Her hands looked rather dainty but her grip was unnaturally strong to pull back a raging Lee Juyeon and let me tell you, I was fairly shocked at the sight.

"Let me go!" Juyeon yelled as Suah pulled him back, as he landed on the couch beside her with a thud, a small yelp leaving his mouth.

"So, what plan have you devised for us to catch Jaehyun's doings?" Suah spoke up, Juyeon's wrist still in her grip.

I felt a knot in my throat as I turned my head sideways, looking at Sunghoon to explain his part. I watched as his Adam's apple bobbed up and down once he gulped. Raising an arm upwards, he pushed away all his messy black hair out of his forehead, his fingers running through the locks of the luscious hair strands.

He opened his mouth, a sigh escaping through, "Areum will have to act like she didn't see Jaehyun with another female. Not until he has been caught red-handed."

"Cliché!" Juyeon scoffed, "Isn't breaking his bone a better option? Wouldn't it hurt Areum to act like everything is normal?"

"It will hurt more if I end everything and it turns out he wasn't cheating on me, Juyeon." I spoke as he calmed down, relaxing in his seat, his breathing ragged.

"So," Suah spoke up, "When are we starting this?" He looked around, his eyes dodging between me and Sunghoon.

"When Jaehyun comes back. In two weeks."
