After Tiffany heard what Hyunjoong last said, she bowed her head while smiling, “Silly!” She mumbled while smiling happily.No matter how much angry he was at her, no matter how he didn’t want to see her but in the end, still she was the one that he longed for.

She went out from his room and headed to the kitchen. She took a basin and filled it full with water. She took a small towel before entering his room back with the basin of water.

She put the basin on the desk beside Hyunjoong’s bed as she sat at the side of his bed. She stared at his face for a moment while smiling widely. She confirmed that he already fell asleep. She moved aside his bang before putting the small towel moisturised with water on his forehead. She didn’t want him to get sick later.

After finishing, she took the basin and was about to head to kitchen but suddenly, her tummy grumbled. “Ah~ I’m really hungry~” She said as she touched her tummy. Came to think of it, after coming back from the airport, she went straight to Hyunjoong’s house without taking dinner.

She headed to the kitchen to find any food just to fill a bit her tummy. She found a bread and took a seat on the chair of the dining table. She opened the wrapper and took a bite. As she grabbed her dinner as her supper now alone by herself, she looked around, observing the condition in the house.

The bottles of soju were everywhere that she couldn’t even count. She really wondered how much he drank on two days that she left. Honestly, she didn’t expect him could be affected this much. Somehow, thinking about that had put a small smile on her face unconsciously.

 After finishing the bread, she got up and started collecting all the bottles. She organized all these things that had been left unorganized and she cleaned every part of the house.

After finishing around 2 hours later, she sat on the sofa. She stretched before looking around in satisfaction. She lied down on the sofa just to rest for a while but she fell asleep.

-----------

Next day, the sun rose and its ray passed through the window, hitting directly towards Hyunjoong’s face who was sleeping soundly on his bed after he got drunk last night. He seemed was awake when the bright light from the sun hit his face that caused a frown to appear on his face.

He opened his eyes slowly and he looked at the ceiling blankly. Without anything was in his mind, he tried to get up. “Ouch!” He suddenly felt the pain in his head that caused him to get the clue what had happened last night. “Ah! I got drunk again!” He sighed as he held onto his head.

Just then, he realized that he was sleeping on his bed with a blanket covering his body properly, giving a sign that someone had been there last night.

“What happened? Ah!” He really couldn’t remember anything.

He got up from his bed and started walking out from the room after confirming he didn’t feel dizzy anymore. He looked around, which shocked him since it was very clean. There was no dust and he couldn’t see even a bottle left anywhere.

“Did uncle come last night?” He could think only one person who could come in and out from his house easily. He monitored around and then, he suddenly shouted in shock. “Woah!!” He got very shocked when he said a leg was hanging on the sofa that wasn’t facing him. He came closer to take a look. He sighed of relief that later making sure it was a person who was sleeping while putting her leg high on the sofa.

However, what made he felt so curious and confused that, he was sure from the shape of body, he could concluded that it wasn’t his uncle. It was a girl. He finally took a look of her face. His jaw slightly dropped as his eyes were widened.

“H… how can she be here?” He mumbled to himself in disbelief. “So, last night… it wasn’t a dream? I really talked to her.”

He approached her to take a closer look and finally knelt down beside her. He really couldn’t believe that she was right in front of him right now. He just stared at her face silently. She was unaware of his presence as she fell asleep deeply.

He didn’t know what exactly his feelings right now. He was shocked with her sudden appearance, he was happy because he never thought he could see her again, he was confused why she did all these things and the biggest feeling that he felt right now, the feeling that he couldn’t forget was the feeling of betrayal, he couldn’t help but still being disappointed by her action before.

---------

The sound of cell phone occupied the space in the living room which finally woke up Tiffany from deep sleep. She didn’t even open her eyes as she was extremely sleepy after getting sleep at the late of the night. She tapped the surface of the table to find her ringing cell phone.

“Oh? Hello?” She picked up lazily with her closed eyes.

“Where are you now?”

“Who is this?” She asked as she was too sleepy to recognize the voice and was too lazy to check the caller’s name.

“It’s me, Taeyeon!”

“Oh, Taeyeon-ah… why?”

“Are you planning to not get home? Are you just going straight to the school?”

“No, of course I have to go home first to change clothes.”

“Then, do you think you have time? It’s late already.”

“What’s time is it now?”

“8.30 AM.”

“8.30 AM? Oh, then, I’ll come home about 15 minutes…” She suddenly shouted as she got up from sleep. “WHAT?!!! 8.30 AM?!!!”

“Hm, I told you before.” Taeyeon just replied lazily as Tiffany showed a late response, showing obviously that she was just awake when she called her.

“Alright, alright, I get it!” Tiffany replied in rush.

She was about to end the call but Taeyeon stopped her. “Hold on! So, what is your decision?”

“Decision?”

“Yes, are you going to go home first or…”

Tiffany answered Taeyeon’s question immediately after she understood what she meant. “Yah, how can I have time to go home? Of course, I’ll directly go to school.”

“Your clothes?”

“I’m forced to wear the same clothes.” Tiffany added in disappointment. “Then, see you later.” She ended the call.

She put aside the blanket that was covering her body without realizing that last night, she didn’t have any blanket covering her body. She went into Hyunjoong’s room to wake him up but she found no one.

“Where is him?” She scratched her head. “Hyunjoong…” She called cautiously for him but there was no reply. She checked the washroom but there was no one.She went out from his room and looked for him everywhere but he was still nowhere to be seen. “Hyunjoong!” She shouted loudly to let him hear but unfortunately, there was still no reply. “Don’t tell me… did he leave after seeing me here?” She thought the possibility. From what he said to her last night, it wasn’t out of question that he didn’t want to see her.

She ran towards the door and got out from the house to check his shoes and motorbike. She couldn’t find the shoes that he always wore and even his motorbike was gone. It really did seem he already left her alone. She couldn’t help but being disappointed that he didn’t wake her up and informed her.

She went back into the house and sat on the sofa that she slept before. She looked very sad that Hyunjoong really avoided her. It had shown that how mad he was at her.

She got a hold of herself from thinking about that thing. “Silly, how can I have time to sit here thinking about this?!” She knocked her own head. She really forgot that she was going to be late to go to school. She encouraged herself to put a lot of effort to persuade Hyunjoong.

She took her cell phone on the table and put it in her bag. As she looked around in case she left something else, she realized that there was a blanket near her. She didn’t realize it before as she was too shocked when Taeyeon told her about the time.

“How can…” She tried to recall what happened last night. She was sure that she just fell asleep accidentally last night. “Then… it must be…” After that, her eye-smile just naturally appeared on her face as she was too happy. No matter how mad Hyunjoong was at her, he still cared for her a lot.

-----------

Tiffany arrived at the school just on time. However, putting aside about her problem with Hyunjoong, what bothered her the most right now was her clothes. She didn’t have time at all to change her clothes that she wore since yesterday and not to mention she moved a lot yesterday, starting from the airport and then, she immediately went to Hyunjoong’s house after just arriving at Soshi Girls’ villa and she cleaned his house at the middle of the night.

Like usual, she had to walk beside a lot of people on the way to the class. She tried her best to avoid them as she was afraid that she was smelly. She kept her distance from them as far as she could. It looked like that she was playing hide and seek or more high-class game, she was playing spy.

When she was close to her class, Eunyoung who was doing nothing in the class, recognized Tiffany. “Oh, Fany-ah!” She greeted her happily.

“Oh, hi~” Tiffany gave a stiff smile as she still tried to keep distance from the persons that were outside the class. Finally, she was able to enter the class.

Eunyoung realized about Tiffany’s weird behaviour. “Yah, what the heck are you doing?” She asked in astonishment. “You skipped school for two days, now you become a spy all of a sudden? Did you take a training to become a spy?”

“Of course not, what are you talking about?” Tiffany took a seat on the chair after moving a bit the chair to keep her distance from Eunyoung.

“Why?” She realized that Tiffany seemed like wanted to keep distance.

“Huh? Nothing.” She shook her head vigorously.

Then, as Tiffany didn’t tell her the truth, Eunyoung started making a wild guess by herself. “You… don’t tell me… you get a contagious disease that you skipped school?!”

“What?!” Tiffany asked in disbelief. “Of course not! You really spoke nonsense.”

“Then, why do I feel like you are trying to avoid everybody?”

“Huh? Not~ you are just thinking too much!”

“Why are sitting quite far from me? Then, come closer.”

“It’s okay.” She replied while smiling awkwardly.

“Tiffany, is there something wrong?” Eunyoung gave her a suspicious gaze.

“Absolutely not!” She emphasized. She looked at Eunyoung hesitantly before finally deciding to take her usual seat as Eunyoung didn’t stop giving her pressure. After taking a seat exactly near to Eunyoung, she stared at Eunyoung deeply to see her reaction if her sense of smell started to react to her.

“Why? Why are you staring at me like that?” It seemed Eunyoung didn’t smell anything from Tiffany.

“Aren’t you smelling anything?”

“Why are you suddenly asking about smell? A nice smell or bad one?”

“Huh? Hm… just… any smell… a strong smell that can cause discomfort…”

“Oh!” Eunyoung’s eyes suddenly got widened. “Omo! Omo!” She repeated in shock as she drew her face closer to Tiffany.

“Why? Why? Why? Did you really smell something?” Tiffany asked anxiously as she drew her body away as Eunyoung came closer.

“Hm, I smell something.” Eunyoung nodded for a few times like she was solving a criminal case.  Tiffany stared in shock at Eunyoung who looked like was thinking. “I smell something suspicious!” Eunyoung suddenly said.

“Eh~ what the heck?!” Tiffany sighed.

“Why?” Eunyoung felt strange with Tiffany’s weird response. “Am I supposed to smell other thing?”

“Not, not!” Tiffany immediately replied. Then, she changed the topic as soon as possible. She was thankful that Eunyoung didn’t smell any bad smell from her body, maybe she didn’t have to bother so much about that. “What are you so suspicious about?”

“Are you with Hyunjoong during two days that you skipped school?”

“Of course not! Why… all of a sudden?” Before Eunyoung could reply, Tiffany added in shock. “He also didn’t come to school two days like me?!”

“Yes, I thought you know something since both of you didn’t come at the same time and both of you turned off your cell phone! So, where have you been actually?!”

“Actually, I went back to US to visit my mom, she was sick. Everything was so quick that I wasn’t able to inform you and even Hyunjoong.”

“Then… what actually happened to Hyunjoong?”

“Huh?” Tiffany didn’t know how to explain to Eunyoung what had happened because she herself was unclear how much worse the problem was right now just because a small simple misunderstanding. So, she decided to talk later as she had to solve it first with Hyunjoong. “I’m not sure too…” She lied. “Then, he even doesn’t come today?” She looked at the empty table beside her.

“He comes today.”

“Really?!” Tiffany looked happy and relieved. “And, then, where is him?” She asked while looking around for his presence cautiously.

“After he comes, he went out again… I’m not sure… maybe toilet?”

Before Tiffany and Eunyoung could continue their conversation, the teacher came and all the students took their seat and gave their focus on the teacher. However, Tiffany couldn’t see any trance of Hyunjoong entering the class. She started to feel worried.

She looked around looking for him and then, her eyes travelled towards the seat beside her which his seat. “ARGHH!” She shouted as she suddenly saw him sat still on the seat beside hers. Her shout sounded quite loud since everyone was silent and it also caught everyone’s attention including the teacher.

“Yes, Miss Hwang?” The teacher spoke to Tiffany.

“Y… yes?” Tiffany looked extremely shocked. She stood up hesitantly as she was very nervous.

“What happened?” The teacher asked seriously and what made it worse, her serious gaze was really scary.

Tiffany took a glance at Hyunjoong but he just acted cool like nothing happened right now. She changed her focus on the teacher back before answering, “It’s nothing.”

“Are you sure?”

“Yes…”

“Ok, you can sit down.”

Tiffany slightly bowed her body before sitting back on her seat. She hove a relief sigh. The teacher started the lesson. She stole a few glances at Hyunjoong, trying her best not to be so obvious. He didn’t react at all to the situation and not to mention, he acted like she was not there. She couldn’t do anything right now and just to have to wait.

Finally, it’s time for recess which Tiffany had been waiting for. After the teacher went out from the class, she immediately turned her body facing Hyunjoong. However, before she could say anything, he already got up. She didn’t have courage to call him but instead, Eunyoung had asked first.

“Hyunjoong-ah, where are you going?”

“I’m just going to the practice.” He replied to Eunyoung like usual.

“Then, how about your meal?”

“It’s okay. I don’t feel like eating. Then, I’ll go first.” He walked away from the class.

Tiffany just heard silently their conversation. Actually, she was envious at Eunyoung as she could talk to him like usual.

Eunyoung turned around, facing Tiffany. “Anything happened again between you and Hyunjoong?” She asked lazily.

“No…” Tiffany just shook her head.

“Really? Then, why don’t I see you talk to him?”

“He is just busy, that’s all.” Though Eunyoung looked suspicious, Tiffany was very thankful that she didn’t ask further.

Even after the recess, Tiffany couldn’t do anything during the lesson. She was determined to talk to him not matter what happened, she would talk to him after class ended.

“Class, we’ll end here today.” The teacher ended the lesson and went out from class. All the students started to bag their things.

Tiffany still had a lot things on her table while Hyunjoong had already finished bagging his things. Like usual, girls had a lot things that they brought to school compared to boys.

“Eunyoung-ah, I’m off first.” Hyunjoong said goodbye to her and he just acted like Tiffany wasn’t there.

“Oh? Are you going home already? Ok, bye.”

After Hyunjoong already was going out from the class, Tiffany bagged her things in rush. After she had done, “Eunyoung-ah, bye!” She ran out from the class.

“Ok, bye… Oh, what’s wrong with her?” Eunyoung found it was quite weird. “Perhaps…. They fought again?!” She asked herself in disbelief. She sighed. “They really made me crazy!”

Tiffany ran as fast as she could to catch him up. A few minutes later, she finally spotted him. “Hyunjoong!” She called him loudly.

Hyunjoong’s eyes slightly got bigger as a sign that he heard her voice. However, he pretended to not hear her.

“Hyunjoong!” She called louder but he still didn’t show any response. “YAH, KIM HYUNJOONGGG!!!” She shouted loudly that all the students around them listened to her. She stared at him from behind while breathing heavily as she clenched her teeth.

His steps immediately stopped as he also looked shocked and at the same time, he found it was quite embarrassing with a lot students were watching them. “Ah, so embarrassing…” He bowed his head while sighing. He turned around and faced her.

Instead of talking to him right there which seemed so impossible with the attention a lot of students, she grabbed his hand and dragged him to behind the buildings.

He stared at her as he also took a look at her hand which was holding tightly onto his hand. His stare was somewhat scary to her. She immediately let go of it.

“Why? Do you have something to tell me?” He started their conversation as she still didn’t say anything.

“Are you angry at me?” She asked.

“No.” He looked into her eyes seriously.

“Then, why are you doing this to me?”

“What did I do?”

She sighed. It’s not going to work if she kept asking like this. “Alright, I’ll just get to the point. I don’t know what you thought of me but… it’s just a misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding?” He just chuckled obviously, he just made fun of her.

“I’m serious.” She added. “It’s just…”Suddenly, Hyunjoong’s cell phone rang that disturbed their conversation. “Aish! Just answer it first.”

Hyunjoong picked up the call. “Hello… oh, really? Ok, I’ll be there soon.” He ended it. He looked at her. “I have to go now.” He walked away just like that.

“Hold on!” She grabbed his arm. “I don’t say what I want to say yet.”

“I have to go to my company right now. Something urgent comes out.”

“But, what I’m going to say is really important too!”

Hyunjoong just stayed silent for a while as he sighed. She looked at him with her puppy eyes as she pouted her lips. He immediately avoided her gaze while cleaning his throat. “Then, let’s talk later.”

“Promise?”

“Hm…” He nodded and just walked away, leaving her alone there, watching him going.

----------

As they promised, Yuri went to the basketball court after her class ended. She found Nickhun and Taecyeon together with their basketball mates as they practiced. However, Minho was still nowhere to be seen.

“Hi, guys!” Yuri greeted Nickhun and Taecyeon as she took a seat on the bench.

“Oh, Yuri-ah!” Taecyeon greeted her happily and Nickhun gave her a broad smile. “Are you waiting for Minho?”

“Yes, he asked me to come here.”

“I think he went to see the teacher, he will come here soon.” Nickhun replied.

“Ok.” Yuri nodded while smiling. “Do you guys have upcoming match?”

“Yes, in 2 weeks.”

“How about Minho? Is he going to play too?” Yuri asked in concern. She really hope he won’t participate in any match for the next month.

“Honestly, we didn’t let him to join but he did ask to the couch to join this upcoming match. He even practiced a lot lately.”

“What?! Practice?!” Yuri asked in disbelief.

“Don’t worry, he didn’t move a lot, he just practices to make precise shots.”

“Ok.” She hove a sigh of relief. “You guys must never let him to play in any upcoming match, ok?”

“Alright, just leave it to us.” Taecyeon replied. She gave him a thankful smile. “Do you want to play with us?” He asked Yuri to join their practice.

“What are you talking about? I don’t know how to play.” She chuckled as it felt like a joke.

“I’ll teach of course.”

“Really?” Her eyes twinkled as she was very excited. “Alright!” She put her bag on the bench and entered the court.

Taecyeon showed her how to hold the ball first. She copied his way and then, he taught her to make a shot. Yuri didn’t manage to make a goal of her first shot.

“It’s okay. It’s really once in a blue moon that a person can make a goal on their first shot. You are already genius that you can learn how to throw it right in a few minutes!” Taecyeon praised her.

She just laughed at his praise that somehow sounded quite nonsense. “How can that be a good throw? You are really a good teacher!”

Taecyeon took the ball and gave it to Yuri again. “This time, hold the ball like I teach you before and focus your eyes on the net. And, the now… slowly throw the ball softly and let the muscle in your arm react…”

“Yes, it’s already in!!!” Yuri shouted happily and she jumped. She made high-5 with Taecyeon.

“See, you’re really genius!” Taecyeon said while showing a thumb-up which made Yuri grinned happily.

Yuri saw the ball rolled over and she ran to take the ball but she suddenly stopped, seeing the ball straight went to Minho’s feet. “Minho!” She exclaimed happily. Minho took the ball and stared at her seriously. “Have you wait long?”

“What?!” He asked in disbelief before letting out a chuckle. “Oh, I see… you don’t even realize that I was here as you’re too happy with him.”

“What is this?” Yuri looked at him with a mischievous smile. “Jealous again?”

Taecyeon was aware of Minho’s presence and he sensed his jealousy. He came closer to them to participate in the conversation. “It can’t be helped. I’m just trying to be a nice guy. Minho, you don’t have to be worried much. I just taught a girl playing basketball since her boyfriend can’t do that.” He purposely to add more oil on the fire.

“You… seriously!” Minho threw the ball towards Taecyeon but he could catch it properly while laughing. Yuri just laughed happily seeing these two guys.

Taecyeon left them alone and continued his practice. Minho took a seat on the bench with the angry expression was still on his face.

Yuri sat beside him and stared at his face. She just smiled as he still seemed mad. She poked his cheek.

“What?” He asked angrily.

“Ah, seriously!” She exclaimed and then, she laughed. “You really made me speechless!”

“Don’t you want to play basketball that much? Then, just go to Taecyeon.”

“What are you so jealous about? I really don’t understand. He just taught me to play basketball while waiting for you.”

“Don’t ever play basketball with any guy beside me, get it? Why have you ever to do that when your boyfriend is really a genius when it comes to basketball?”

Yuri laughed at his over self-praise. “Alright, I will do that next time. Then, you too! You can’t teach other girl too.”

“Of course. Here.” Minho asked her to make promise by their pinky finger.

 She smiled widely. “Oh, yes! I heard that you asked your couch to join in upcoming match.” She asked as gave him a glare.

“O.. oh… I did ask…” He replied in scare of Yuri getting mad again about his injury of the leg. “Who did tell you about that? Aishh, that bad guys~ tsk, tsk…” He talked playfully just to make her forget her anger.

“Is that important right now?” As expected, she won’t let it slip easily.

“But… I feel ex~tremely good right now! My condition is the best on this moment!”

“How did you know? Are you a doctor?”

“Shouldn’t I know the best of my own condition?”

His question just made her felt more annoyed. She bit her lips in anger. “Alright, just do what you want. I won’t stop you from playing.”

Minho sat closer to her as he placed his arm around her shoulder. “Are you angry?” He asked cutely.

“Nope.” She replied with her expressionless face. “Why would I?”

“I’m just kidding. Of course I won’t play for another month. Ok now?” Yuri didn’t reply anything and she just pouted her lips. “Because you are much more important in my life.” He pinched her cheek.

“Ah, it hurts…” She said while chuckling.

“What is this? I never thought you are more childish than me when it comes to jealousy!”

“Huh?!” She asked as she rubbed her cheek.

“You are jealous of basketball, aren’t you?” Minho asked while grinning widely.

“Ah, ceh!” Yuri let out a chuckle while rolling her eyes. “Is this making any sense?!”

“Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about.” He nodded for a few times. “Your jealousy is much worse than me.”

“Ha… hang… hang on…” She couldn’t talk properly as she tried her best to hold her laughter.

Minho just laughed proudly seeing her cute reaction. “See, I’m talking the truth, right?”

“That’s not right! I’m just worried!”

“Ah~ Ah~ I can’t hear you!” He purposely pretended to not hear her excuse.

“Ah, seriously~ childish!” She shouted at him while laughing happily.

------------

Hyunjoong signed the last document at the desk of his secretary. “Can I go home now?”

“Yes, sir.” Her secretary replied happily.

“Ok, thanks for everything.” Hyunjoong gave her a broad smile as he was very happy to finish his work at the company. He walked away, going into the lift.

As waiting for the lift to reach at the lobby floor, he recalled her conversation with Tiffany before he left her. He took the cell phone in his pocket and searched for her number. Before he pressed the call, her finger stopped. He still looked hesitant. He sighed and put back his cell phone into his pocket back. It turned out that he was still very angry and disappointed in her.

He went out from the lift and walked to the entrance. His employees greeted him happily which he replied with a smile on his way to the entrance. And, then, he just realized that it was raining heavily and the sky looked so dark.

“What should I do?” He came with his motorbike, so he won’t able to go home until the rain stopped if he didn’t want to get drenched.

A car arrived in front of the lobby, near to where Hyunjoong was standing. The driver came out from the car and it turned out that he was Hyunjoong’s uncle.

“Hyunjoong!”

Hyunjoong turned his head. “Oh, uncle!” He smiled widely as he walked towards his uncle.

“What are you doing here?”

“Oh, I just finished some of my work.”

“You come with your motorbike, right? Do you want uncle to send you home?”

“It’s okay. I can wait until the rain stop.”

“Come on, uncle will send you home. Besides, we haven’t talk too long, don’t we?”

“Alright.” Hyunjoong nodded with a wide smile on his face. They both got into the car.

His uncle drove the car away. “So, how is your relationship with her?”

“Who?”

“It’s her! The one that you brought her into your office. If I remember correctly, her name is Tiffany? I’m sure there is no one as special as her, isn’t it? Any improvement with her?”

“Uncle, what are you talking about? She is just my friend.”

“You don’t have to lie to me. You are like my son, of course I know you much better than yourself. From the way you treat her, from the way you look at her, I still remember it well, I can see it you like her a lot, right?” Hyunjoong didn’t answer and he was just silent. “Am I right?” His uncle chuckled.

“Yes.” Hyunjoong finally admitted. “But, our relationship aren’t going anywhere.”

“Why? I’m sure she likes you a lot too. Next time, make a move on her, ok? I hope to hear good news soon.”

“It’s not going to happen. My love is just one-sided. Uncle might have wrong assumption on her. She didn’t have any feelings for me.”

“Eh~ how can you just give up like that? What makes you feel so confident of her feelings? Have you asked her?”

“No… but…”

“Oh, who is that?” They finally arrived in front of Hyunjoong’s house and there was someone was standing in front of the gate of Hyunjoong’s house which stole the attention of his uncle.

Hyunjoong immediately looked at the direction of where his uncle’s eyes were fixed at. His eyes suddenly got widened as that person was very familiar and what made him shocked the most was that she just waited in the rain recklessly without any care about her getting drenched. “What is she doing there?” He mumbled angrily.

“It’s Tiffany, isn’t it?” His uncle asked.

“Yes. I have to go now, uncle.” He was about to open the door.

However, his uncle stopped him. “Hang on.” He took something at the back seat. “Take this.” He gave Hyunjoong an umbrella.

“Thanks, uncle.” Hyunjoong immediately got out from the car as he opened the umbrella. His uncle drove the car away. He ran towards Tiffany and placed the umbrella above her and him.

Tiffany looked very shocked at first when suddenly she felt like there was no water falling onto her head and then, she saw a person was holding umbrella. Her smile appeared on her face when she was aware that it was the person that she had been waiting for. “Oh, you are home!”

“Have you gone mad?!!” Hyunjoong raised his voice at her while looking at her angrily.

“Why? Did I do something wrong?” Tiffany looked at him with confused face.

“What did you do here?! In the rain… without any care about yourself like an idiot!”

“Didn’t we promise to talk? That’s why I was waiting for you here.”

“But… do you have to go this far?!! We can just talk tomorrow, can’t we?!!” He looked very mad at her for being so stupid to not care about herself and made him so worried. “Or, at least you don’t have to be drenched in the rain like this!!! It’s that too hard just to care that much about yourself?! Or, do you just want to make me look bad?!”

“No, no, no, that doesn’t what I mean.” She tried to explain nicely. “I want to talk something with you and it’s extremely important. I have to meet you today not matter what.”

He stared into her eyes angrily as he breathed heavily. He looked so angry. She just looked at him with apologetic stare. He hove a heavy sigh before saying, “Let’s go inside.” He grabbed her hand and pulled her into his house. She just smiled, letting him to pull her.

In the house, after letting go of his hold on her hand, he went somewhere. She just stared at him silently. Then, he came back later with a towel in his hand. He approached her and instead of giving the towel to her, he just helped her to dry her hair with the towel like a father did to his daughter.

Tiffany just smiled widely when he was the one that dried her hair. She was so happy whenever he unconsciously showed his care for her. Hyunjoong was aware of her smile and he immediately let her do it by herself. He cleaned his throat and walked away. Tiffany dried her hair with the towel by herself as she stared at him walking away while smiling widely.

He came back later with a shirt and a pant in his hand. “You can change into this first while waiting for your cloth to dry.” He gave them to her.

“Ok, thanks.” She gave him a small smile before went into the washroom to change.

He went to the living room and sat on the sofa. He just stayed silently there as he thought about something. All these things really drove him crazy. He really didn’t know how to deal with this problem when his heart and his mind weren’t in the same path.

Not too long after, Tiffany went out from the washroom with this time, she wore a loose and big shirt that was too big for her that made it seemed like she was only wore the shirt since the shirt had covered the short pant. 

Hyunjoong’s eyes slightly got widened when he saw her like that. She smiled at him awkwardly as she felt a bit uncomfortable. He cleaned his throat. “Sit down. Have a cup of coffee.” He pointed towards the cup on the table that he have made for her.

She took a seat in front of him and took a sip of the coffee. “Thank you for this.” She smiled at him.

“Don’t worry, I just don’t want to be blamed later if you get caught cold.” He replied coldly. She looked a bit disappointed. “Then, just tell me what you want.”

“Ah, yes. About that… it’s really just a misunderstanding. It’s not like what you think. I went to US because I want to visit my sick mother. That’s all. And, Mike also wants to go home. So, I just go with him.”

“Ok, I get it.” He still replied calmly, obviously didn’t show any reaction to her explanation.

“Huh?” She looked at him in confusion. “Just that? Don’t you have other thing to say?”

“What do you want me to say actually?” He looked at her seriously with a frown on her face.

Tiffany looked shocked at the same time, she was quite annoyed that he was still being stubborn. “It’s not about what I want to hear you say! Aren’t you so angry at me because of this?!”

“Who said I was angry at you?”

Tiffany hove a heavy sigh as she bit her lips. “Then, why are you treating me like that?! And, last night… you said all bad things about me!” Hyunjoong got speechless. “We aren’t going to solve this problem if you keep acting stubborn like this!”

“We don’t have any problem!” Hyunjoong finally replied.

“What do you mean by that?! Do you think I like it very much after knowing that you are so angry at me and you treat me badly just because a mere misunderstanding?! I didn’t get back together with Mike, don’t you understand?! We were just taking a flight to US! If it’s not because of my mother, I won’t go!”

“I don’t care, you don’t have to explain to me. You can do whatever you want, it’s not my business.” He finally got up and went into the kitchen.

He really drove her crazy with his stubbornness. “Aish!” She sighed. She eventually got up and followed him into the kitchen. “What are you so mad at me about?” She asked.

“I think it’s better if we stop it here.”

She held his arm. “Stop? Are you taking it so easy?! Can’t you understand my feelings?! You have misunderstood me, how can I be at ease?! Do you think only you feel sad about this?! Do you think only you feel disappointed?! Can’t you think for me too even once?!!”

As Tiffany didn’t stop nagging him at all, he burst into anger and he pushed her to the wall strongly. The distance between their faces were just a few inches. She looked very shocked and she stared at him in nervousness as her heart pounded. He looked into her eyes angrily.

“Then, what do you want me to do?! Don’t you know what makes me so angry and disappointed at you?! You easily forgive someone that I have saved you from! You make me look so pathetic! You just thought it was nothing! Don’t you know how hurt my heart is?! And, to find out that you just leave like that with him… I feel like dying, don’t you know?!!!” He shouted at her. He breathed heavily as he stared at her angrily.

She didn’t say anything and she got to find out his real feelings that she finally understood his anger and disappointment. She cupped his face, as she closed her eyes, she gave him a peck on his lips.
