they arrived at the bowling alley, as they entered they were shocked as they were many people from their uni. they search for the others and saw that they others were waiting for them. as they were walking towards the others, myungsoo notice naeun sudden change of expression but he remained silence until they sat at their booth

'hey~ you guys were late so we started playing first!' bomi said

'it's okay~ we'll join in the next game' sungyeol said as he sat beside naeun while myungsoo looks at him

myungsoo kept and eye on naeun, myungsoo could feel that naeun was feeling uncomfortable about something.he was about to asked her when she suddenly gets up and excuse herself

'uh, guys, i'm gonna go and buy water, do any of you guys want anything?' naeun asked

'oh, nahh it's okay! we're good! we've already got ours' dongwoo said as he smile

'okay then, i'll go now...' naeun said and walks towards the counter she sat at the stool and payed to the cashier.

naeun drank her water as she watches the other lane, some playing with their friends some with their family when suddenly a couple of guys blocks her view

'well, aren't you son naeun?' one of the guy said

'yeah, you are right! she is son naeun!' his friend said and laugh 

'long time no see huh naeun... or is it son goddess.. is what your best friend used to called you?' the third guy said as the other guys laughed 

naeun didn't looked at them as her eyes were only fixated on the water bottle. the guys still kept on disturbing her 

'here, for you.. a gift from us to an old friend' one of the guy said as he shakes a glass bottle  

naeun still doesn't react to them which make the two other put their hands on naeun's shoulder and arm which made naeun flinch a little 

'hey, what's going on here?' myungsoo said coldly and remove one of the guy hand from naeun's arm 

'nothing, we're just here to give our old friend here a little gift' the guy said tapping his hands on naeun's shoulder 

'*smirk* but i think your old friend here seems to be uncomfortable with you guys here, touching her' myungsoo said coldly as he clench his teeth 

'aw, come on son goddess, i didn't know you were weak to have your friend here helped you...' the guy with the bottle said

'hey bro, do you know her?' the guy whose hand on naeun's shoulder said as he laugh 

'after what she did... can't believe she's actually a coward' one of the guy said 

myungsoo looked at them with deadly glare and was ready to go ballistic when naeun suddenly gets up and grabs the glass bottle from the guy and drank it before walking away out of the bowling alley. the three guys looks at naeun and starts to laugh 

'dude, what's so funny?' myungsoo said serious

'that ---' one of the guy said but was cut off when myungsoo's punch landed on his face making him stumble down groaning in pain 

without saying anything, myungso rushes out to follow naeun, he went out of the bowling alley and looked for naeun. myungsoo starts to feel anxious as he couldn't find naeun. he search near the car park and heard coughing  he ran towards the sound and saw naeun 

'naeun!' myungsoo said as he helps her steady herself 

'i don't feel so good..' naeun mumbles 

'let's get you home' myungsoo said as he piggy-back naeun to the car 

myungsoo helps naeun with the safety belt and drove off slowly, myungsoo keeps his eye on the road but was still keeping an eye on naeun 

'it's alright naeun, luckily the bowling alley is near our house' myungsoo said 

'air...' naeun mumbles 

'hmm?' myungsoo said 

'i need fresh air...' naeun said 

'okay, just a little bit more.. naeun' myungsoo said softly as he look at naeun for sec and some of her hair to the back 

myungsoo park the car on the sideway, and helps naeun unbuckle her seat belt and helps naeun out of the car. myungsoo brought naeun to the park near their house. he leads naeun to the swing. 

'thank you...' naeun said as myungsoo sat on the swing besides her 

'i'm soooo stupid' naeun said as she holds the bottle up as myungsoo stayed silent looking at naeun 

'those guys got me...i'm freaking drunk...' naeun said as she handed the bottle to myungsoo 

myungsoo took it without saying anything and saw that it's a beer which contains high alcohol

'i'm not weak...' naeun said silently as if she was speaking to herself 

'who says that you're weak?' myungsoo said looking at her 

'everyone....' naeun said and paused 

'that's why they all left me...' naeun continue slow 

'i'm a bad person myungsoo, that's why people left' naeun said 

'that's why my parents left me...' naeun said as she starts to sniff 

myungsoo looks at naeun and grabs naeun's hand. myungsoo hold naeun hand as she continues to talk 

'my mom, she left home with another guy. my dad....' naeun said and paused 

'my dad...actually got another family... and he... he couldn't even tell us.. what a loser..' naeun said as myungsoo rubs naeun's cold hand 

'what an arsehole' myungsoo said softly which make naeun laugh a little 

'right?, i've been living in lies for 3 years or maybe more..' naeun said 

'it's all my fault..' naeun said as she shakes her head lightly 

'no, it's not your fault naeun' myungsoo said gently 

'how do you know it's not my fault?' naeun asked as she looks at myungsoo eyes teary 

'how DO you know that its your fault?' myungsoo asked naeun back which make naeun stayed silent 

'i just know it's not your fault, you couldn't do anything that would upset them. you're just perfect' myungsoo said 

'i could've save them, i could have been more attentive about their feelings, i could had protect my family' naeun said 

'no naeun, you couldn't. it's their problem not yours. your feelings matters too' myungsoo said

'it's just freaking hard, i don't know why i just couldn't accept the fact. nayoung seems to take the fact so coolly... after my mom left, my father also left after. i was so lost...' naeun said 

'what memories i did that would make my father happy is all just a burden now...' naeun said 

'you meant your art?' myungsoo said as naeun nodded lightly 

'so, you're just gonna stop doing what you love because of him?' myungsoo said as naeun kept silent 

'past is past naeun, either you keep thinking about it or just keep moving forward' myungsoo said 

'haha, i've heard that from someone just now. sungyeol told me that' naeun said as she smile a little 

''huh, can't believe that guy could say something like that. he's a good guy after all'' myungsoo thought to himself as he smile a little 

'it's okay naeun. everything will be fine. trust me' myungsoo said as he smile 

'how would you know?' naeun said 

'do you trust me?' myungsoo asked naeun as naeun nods 

'yes, i trust you' naeun said 

'then, trust me when i say this, you will be fine because we're here, and i'm here, by your side' myungsoo said and grabs naeun's pinky with his 

'promise?' naeun asked

'promise.' myungsoo said softly
