Seulgi knew Joohyun never put or hang a photo of Seulgi with her in her apartment because she doesn't want her parents and other friends - outside of Joy and Wendy - to know that she's dating someone younger. Seulgi did her best to understand this.
But now - seeing the wedding portrait of Joohyun and Se-young hung back, put up again on Joohyun's apartment - she felt the wind knocked out of her, her heart ripped into pieces.
She felt her feet dragging her away from Joohyun. Then she ran.
"Seulgi!" Joohyun called out in the darkness as she ran after her.

Joohyun caught up to her.
"Kailan pa Joohyun?" she asked, sobbing.
"Three months," Joohyun croaked.
"Bakit hindi mo kaagad sinabi? Kung sa kanya ka naman talaga sasaya, kahit masakit, maiintindihan ko naman e. Maiintindihan ko naman kung siya naman pala talaga mahal mo."
"Ikaw ang mahal ko," Joohyun said, now crying too.
"Kung mahal mo ko, bakit mo ko winasak?!" Seulgi couldn't he
