Secret"Take a rest, it's been a long day for you." Kyungsoo says when he drops her off in her apartment.
"Would you like to have a cup of tea?" Soojung asks cautiously, earning a raised eyebrow from the man. "Heck, who am I kidding?" She sighs, "I don't want to sleep alone tonight."
Kyungsoo laughs at her childish behavior, he always prefer Soojung to talk honestly what's on her mind, rather than coating them with sweet words.
"I'll accompany you then."
"I invite you to sleep, no funny business Do Kyungsoo. Or else..."
"Alright, alright, I know my boundaries." Kyungsoo chuckles, slightly pushing the glaring Soojung to her own apartment. "Do you have anything that I can use? I need to change."
"There is..." Soojung trails, unsure, "Jongin's clothes."
Kyungsoo gives her a slight smile, as if he knows she is being careful not to offend him.

"Yeah."
Both of them stare at the ceiling, enjoying the silence between them.
"You know, I am so proud of you." Kyungsoo says, smiling.
"Huh?"
"That you decided to be selfless to give Taeoh's a complete family. I know it must be hard on you to let go of Jongin and forgave Seulgi, but you did it anyway." He glances at her, "And I am so proud of you."
"I am not that nice, Do Kyungsoo." She says. Kyungsoo stays silent, encouraging her to go on.
