Junhee stepped on the gas as she got further away from the Kim residence.

“Because, I wanted to distract myself. I knew you if I made the mistake of showing any affection towards you, I would lose you. I would lose you as a friend.”

“It has always been you, Junhee-yah.”

She felt fresh tears drop from her eyes.

“I’m sorry.”

Hyemi watched as the car disappeared from her sight.

Kai stood up and looked for Chunji.

“She...likes him back.” Himchan said.

“You...know?” Hyemi turned to him.

Daehyun looked at Himchan.

“After her parents’ funeral, she decided to leave. That night, she kept on having nightmares. She would call for her parents, and us, but she called Chunji the most. She said....she would miss him if she left.”

“Why didn’t you tell us?” Daehyun asked.

“I didn’t want to interfere.” Himchan looked down.

“I just...realized now, Junhee’s feelings for sunbae.” Hyemi whispered.

Daehyun shook his head.

“Her happiness....matters to me grealty, Junhee has lost so much.” Himchan looked down.

“Himchan.” Khun was standing by the doors.

“Help her.”

“Hyung, what-”

“She’s getting engaged.”

Kai and Chunji froze. Khun’s back was facing them as he spoke with Himchan.

“What do you mean?”

“Your mother wanted to arrange you with SeoOil’s daughter, but Junhee stepped in.”

“I don’t understand, hyung.” Daehyun spoke up.

“The Seos have and eldest son.”

“Seo Eunkwang.” Kai said and looked at Chunji.

Chunji’s brows furrowed.

“Why would she do that?” Himchan asked.

“Talk to her, please.” Khun replied.

“Everything was falling into place.” Himchan sighed as he leaned on the railings. Hyemi gazed at the garden before them.

“Junhee worries me, she...was the first person to defend me at school.”

“Yeah, against me.” Himchan smiled and tucked a lock of hair behind her ear.

“But, those arranged marriages, it really does happen?” Hyemi turned to him.

“In our world, yes it does. Our parents want us to marry someone from our level, or so thats what they claim. But...I never really..cared about that. As long as I love the person I marry, I would be contented.”

Hyemi nodded, Himchan smiled and gently wrapped his arms around her.

“You’re wearing the necklace, does that mean-”

“Don’t let it get into your head.” Hyemi chuckled and playfully hit his arm.
