Daniel and Jisung earlier had agreed to meet every week since Daniel’s confession, but ever since the night after the party the two of them hadn’t of seen each other for two weeks. It was only until Jisung saw a familiar face sitting on a park bench when the two had their long awaited “meeting.”

“Daniel!I feel like it’s been ages since we’ve last seen each other! How’s the Jisung situation going.” Jisung took the seat next to Daniel’s draping his arm around the latter’s shoulder; making himself right at home.

“It’s funny that you ask Jisung because,” Daniel paused and tried to remove Jisung hand, “I’m meeting him in a few minutes.”

Jisung kept him arm placed on Daniel’s shoulder, loving how he was irritating his best friend. “Great! Then we have a few minutes to talk about these past weeks have been. Made any decisions yet?”

“It’s funny you ask that.” Daniel said, “Because he’s meeting me here right now.”

“Oh my god! I’m being a total block for your date,” Jisung leaned closer to Daniel, making their faces only inches apart before squealing “I love it!!”

Everything had seemed calm at the moment, with the two best friends laughing and joking around with each other, but despite what both of them thought, they weren’t the only ones listening to their conversation.

“I can’t believe you dragged me to the park Eunha,” Mina whined, clutching her cup of coffee like it was the greatest thing on earth.

“You’re the one that said outside helps clean the mind remember?”

“Really? Well past me can a major c*ck I want to go back to sleep.”

Eunah glanced at Mina unsure of what to do with the grumpy person next to her.

Although Mian was being quite an *sshole, Eunha was still enjoying herself, liking how everything seemed to be peaceful and calm at the moment. It had felt almost like the calm before a storm.

The two strolled through the park mostly silent, except for one of Mina’s y complaints here and there, but as time went on the complaints shortened and became only disgruntled noises.

“Look!” Eunha grabbed Mina’s wrist, dragging her to the empty slide.

Mina shook her head, “We’re not children anymore Eunha.”

Eunha plopped on the swing, patting the seat next to her, “Can’t we just pretend for a bit?”

“Pretend what?”

“That we’d never grown up Mina.”

“Why would we do that?” Mina questioned, now taking a seat on the other swing.

Eunah paused for a second, considering multiple answers “To be innocent again.” “To be reckless again.” but only one answer was on the tip of Eunha’s tongue, “So you’d have never had met Daniel.”

Eunha flashed Mina a fake smile, “So we could get away with this,” pointing at both of them on swings. Eunha knew she would have to tell Mina sooner or later, exactly what her husband was doing when he “worked overtime,” since the only other option was that Mina finds out by herself. But as Eunha stared more at Mina’s expressionless face, she realized she could never be the person to bring the news to her. Yes, it was selfish to hide this from Mina, but Eunha would sacrifice anything to keep Mina happy for as long as possible.

And if that required lying to Mina for the time being, Eunha would be willing to do it.

As Eunah was stuck in her own thought, Mina watched her sit motionless on the swing staring ahead.

“Did she forget how to swing?” Mina thought as she waved her hand in front of a seemingly dead friend. “And she’s the one who wanted to come by the swings.”
