Joe: mwoh??? Well it’s just normal for a couple to argue…

Mavin: ani… I know pretty noona is not happy… I know… she was having a hard time since the day her father rushed into hospital.

Joe: mwohhh??? Her father was in the hospital??

Mavin: it’s been 3 years but he still in coma… pretty noona once invited me to visit her father… (they we’re chatting when Jennie came and hold a lot of foods.)

After finishing their snacks they went to the Han River, Joe kept silent that whole time. He send them home safely and went to Pol’s bar..

Joe POV

Pol: oh Joe, what’s up?

Joe: give me a strong one..

Pol:do you have a problem? Come let’s go inside…

Joe: (they were drinking) tell me, is it true that Jennie’s father still in coma?

Pol: deh, how did you found out?

Joe: (he was a bit irritated) tell me, is she fine when I left? How is she when the day I left? She’s happy right??? She lived well the day I left??right??

Pol:ani…you know it’s hard for me to keep quiet that time… Jennie broke up with you not because she doesn’t love you but because she was just a good daughter…

Joe: mwoh??(he drank another glass of tequila)

Pol: 2 days before our graduation, the day she broke up with you, that was the hardest decision she needs to do. I don’t want to tell you this because I promised Jennie to keep it…but since you’re here I want you to understand her not to hate her… the reason she broke up with you is because her father was hospitalized, you don’t know this because you left after that day and didn’t even say goodbye to us… she and her father was arguing because Jennie don’t want to follow her father’s decision of her getting married with Rey. She want to fight for you but how could she even do that if that was the reason why her father was in coma… she decided to broke up with you and fulfill her father’s decision… Jennie focused learning their business… she never have time to hang-out with us… Rey never treat her right... so if you still love her, win her back…

Joe: I wish I didn’t leaved that time…mianhe,..(he was crying and he went out of the bar)

Pol: where are you going?

Joe: give me her phone number…I need to see her… I want to see her… you’re right, I’d still love her and I want her back…

Pol: here…don’t rush things and you’re drunk…(Joe just left him)
