“why are you crying jieun-ah?” shinji asked. “I will miss school” jieun lied. “oh, its junsu sunbae!” shinji said, “junsu

sunbae!” she called, jieun instantly wipe her tears away. “I heard you drop out?” junsu said when he reached their

spot. Ji eun nod. “oh, I better get this book to the library. Ji eun-ah, well talk later okay? I’ll call you” she nod. “why

are you crying jieun-ah?” junsu’s tone is so worried, concern. When she look up to meet his gaze, she cant help but to

cry louder. “he, he have someone else oppa, he cheated on me” ji eun blurted, junsu closed his eyes in frustration and

pulled her into a hug. “so that’s why your quiting school?” he asked as he gently her back to comfort her, but

no avail she just felt more pitiful. “yes” she manage to say. “is jiyong home?” she shook her head. “he is staying at his

classmate’s house finishing some project” she said with a sob. “okay, I can take you home and we will talk there

okay?” junsu said. jieun nod. junsu helped jieun to walk towards his car. he didn’t let go of jieun, his arm is around her

shoulders all thru out the walk. “why did he do that oppa?” she asked. Junsu sighed and gritted his teeth, seeing jieun

like this is not helping him, he hates the guy even more. “I don’t know but I want to know why” his tone is dark,

angry, jieun just pushed her head on his chest. “I don’t want to see him anymore” jieun said. they reached the car, he

sits her on the passenger seat and buckled her up. Once he is on the driver’s seat. “I will not let him near you ever

again jieun-ah” he thought.

Jungshin waited outside jieun’s house, its already 6pm but there’s still no one there. he stood up when he saw a car

coming, he saw jieun’s eyes widen as she saw him. “what are you doing here?” junsu shouted as he walk angrily to

jungshin. He pinned jungshin on the wall, making jieun rushed towards them. “oppa, don’t make a scene” jieun said.

jungshin saw her eyes are swollen and her nose are red and big, prove that she’s been crying. He felt guilty again.

“after what you’ve done, you still have a face to be here?” junsu said restraining with all his strength not to punch

jungshin. Jungshin turned to jieun. “can we talk?” he asked. “talk? No! there’s nothing to talk about” junsu uttered.

“I’m not talking to you” jungshin talk back. when junsu was about to punch jungshin, ji eun stopped him, “he is right

oppa, I should talk to him, get inside, It wont take long” ji eun smiled at junsu faintly. Junsu let go of jungshin. He

sighed. “okay, I’ll cook you something to eat okay?” junsu caressed jieun’s face, and tuck her locks behind her ears.

Before he went inside he glared at jungshin. Ji eun then face jungshin. She steep away from him, she needed some

distance. “talk” she said. jungshin look at her and sighed. “I’m sorry ji eun, I know I did wrong but, but,..” “you love

her right?” she asked. I brought pain inside her again but she didn’t want to show it to him. He didn’t answer. “she

looks like sooyeon.” She said. jungshin looked at her. “butler chang told me” she said. “I’m sorry” he said. “don’t be, I

understand now, it’s always been her, I’m just a past time,” jieun chuckled. “thank you for giving a little of that love. I

will let you go, I don’t want to hold to something that was never really mine in the first place. Oh  I’ll tell jiyong to

return the car, I don’t want it” she said and walk towards the door, she is surprise on how strong she sounded at that

moment though her heart is crushing inside. She love the guy but he doesn’t, well she thought he was. “jieun-ah,”

junshin whispered. “goodbye and thank you Lee Jungshin” ji eun entered their house she cried sitting there, silently.

Junsu came to her and hugged her again. “it’s over now oppa” she sobs harder when she heard jungshin’s car drove

away.
