GD leaves the rooms with mixed feelings. He didn’t think that he has to hurt Lily but can’t lie his feeling toward Taeyeon. He knows that he feeling toward Taeyeon is true and he didn’t want to lose Taeyeon with others. He walks to the exit door and saw Daesung are waiting for him. He approach Daesung and said

“I’m sorry for a late.”

“It’s okay, hyung.” Daesung said then he asks

Taeyeon just walk straight to her room without talking to anyone. Her Omma noticed Taeyeon expression then she just let her be. Meanwhile, Jiwoong just stare at her and looks at his Omma. He saw his Omma just shakes her head a sign to not disturb Taeyeon. Taeyeon lock her door then she lay on her bed and cry. She feels fragile while remembering Lily hugging GD. Those make her feels more hurt and sad. She doesn’t know why she feels like that when saw Lily hugging GD. Then she gets up from the bed and wipes her tear. Then she gets her towel and go to take a bath.

On the living room, Jiwoong feels curious what happen with Taeyeon that night. As he knows that she has an event to sing there. Suddenly, his Omma said

“We wait for he to calm down first then I’ll tries to talk with her” Jiwoong just nodded. Afterward, Jiwoong heard someone ring the bell. He gets up and looks who is coming. He saw GD then he opens the gate. Then he opens the door and walks outside the home to meet GD.

“I need to see her.” GD said while looks at the house.

“Why? What happened?” Jiwoong asked curiously.

“I need to talk to her, please” GD begging toward Jiwoong. Jiwoong looks at GD for a while. He doesn’t know what happened between them but in this situation he needs to take care of Taeyeon.

“I don’t think you will see her tonight.” Jiwoong said while looking at GD.

“Her emotions are unstable” Jiwoong continues.

“Can you just let her know that I want to see her tonight?” GD tries to persuade Jiwoong. Jiwoong looks at GD then he shakes his head and said

“I think not tonight. She just crying after arrived at home. Right now, she just locks herself in her room. I’m sorry. I couldn’t help you tonight” Jiwoong said while pat GD shoulder. GD rubs his face then takes a deep breath and reply

“It’s okay. I’m sorry for bothering your family tonight. Take a good care of her.” Then GD leaves the house.

Before leave the residents, GD tries to call Taeyeon but she didn’t answer the phone. He keep tries again and again, Taeyeon still didn’t pick up her phone.

“Hyung, that’s enough. We can meet her tomorrow” Daesung said inside the car. GD just stares at Taeyeon house and hoping for Taeyeon to meet him. He didn’t want to wait until tomorrow to tell his feeling toward her. He doesn’t want to waste more time just to be with her. However, that night he really can’t meet and tell Taeyeon about his feeling. He feels more frustrate.

“Come, hyung. Let’s go back. Have some rest and you meet her tomorrow on campus” Daesung give his opinion toward GD. GD looks at him for a while then stare back at Taeyeon home. Afterward, he gets into the car and speed away from there.
