9:00 p.m.

Bom carpooled home with Seunghyun.

They were riding with Bom’s car, while Seunghyun’s car will be delivered to his home by Hyunwoo later at night.

They arrived safely and Seunghyun is parking the car.

Bom gripped her seatbelt tight.

She had been thinking of ways to invite Seunghyun to her apartment ever since---she felt like she had to explain their past which will finally be the moment of truth---but couldn’t find the courage to ask him.

She just laid on the hope that he will ask her to come inside her apartment, but quickly realised that he would never ask.

He hates me.

Bom bit her bottom lip when Seunghyun finished parking. Now the chance is gone forever.

---- -- ----

Seunghyun had been driving slowly to spend more time with her, which made him slowly going insane because of his short patience on driving.

First he was expecting Bom to tell her reasons for cheating on him years ago.

But after seeing that broken hearted side of her, he erased them fast.

He didn’t have to know. She didn’t have to explain.

That was everything that mattered in the past and he wanted to forget those painful memories. He wanted to start anew with her, the only girl who has been and will always be in his heart.

Seunghyun is sure of himself, that he didn’t want to hear Bom’s reasons anymore.

He didn’t want her to feel guilty and be broken again. 3 years is more than enough for her; for them. He remembered how she acted in front of him earlier, and that was already painful enough.

She didn’t even dare to lift her face up to him.

Seunghyun then imagined Bom’s expression when she had to tell him her reasons.

He shook his head harshly.

No, I can’t stand her being sad anymore.

Seunghyun got chills when he remembered what he said to her in front of the employees.

He wasn’t in his sober state yet and that stupid act killed him.

He hated himself for hurting her more with his words and being such a drunk jerk.

Right now, Seunghyun just wanted to spend more time with Bom.

He missed her so bad, it runs through his veins. He breathed loneliness and longingness for 3 years. He gulped vodka to ease his mind and cigarettes were his only friend. He sighed in relief at the thought of him stopping to relay on them.

Goodbye my old friends.

Thankyou for those 3 years of taking her place. Now she’s back to me and I won’t be seeing you guys ever again.

I'm sorry I was such a jerk.

Seunghyun took a deep breath and glanced quick at Bom before she realised.

He wanted their time together to last longer than this ride to her place. He didn’t want to part with her; he didn’t want to say goodbye.

He is afraid she would disappear if he did.

Seunghyun hoped that Bom would invite him inside her apartment.

He waited and waited more along the ride, but she never said a word. She stayed silent along the way.

And now, Seunghyun finished parking the car. There’s no reason for him to stay any longer with her.

---- -- ----

Bom's car is perfectly parked.

Seunghyun sat straight and awkward. He didn’t know what to do and what to say.

Bom held her breath and stared forward awkwardly. She couldn’t say a thing.

Suddenly, Seunghyun tapped his fingers on his knees.

Bom quickly glanced at his fingers and her eyes climbed up his body.

She found his eyes already staring at her.

Their eyes were locked t
