Chaerin's P.O.V 

"I'm sorry I made you come on such a short notice." I smiled apologetically as he took a seat. 

"No problem, I'm actually quite glad you called. I was seriously bored at home alone." He chuckled as I tucked strands of hair behind my ear, not knowing what to say next. "Aigoo, why do you seem so nervous? It's just me, Chae. We used to talk about everything." He continued after a while of silence. 

"Yeah, I know, but that was the past. Stuff has changed," I mumbled bitterly as he nodded. 

"I've changed too, you know. For the better, I'm more of a good guy than before. I've missed you though, I was surprised to see you at my sister's wedding. You look good," he suddenly pointed out as I giggled. He almost sounded shy while saying that, which is quite funny considering how he used to be. He's definitely cuter than before.

"Well, thank you. How are you, Jay? What's going on in your life?" I asked after our ordered coffee arrived. 

"You know, I miss you calling me babe. Jay almost sounds weird and unfamiliar coming from you. I have work, no girlfriend so I'm pretty much lonely. I don't have a very interesting life." He shrugged nonchalantly. "But, how about you? Why exactly did you call me today?" He continued curious. 

"Get used to Jay for now, and then I'll consider calling you babe again." I winked playfully as he laughed. "I just wanted to catch up. I have work too. I'm not that lonely considering how I have unnie, but no guy in my life," I answered with a slight smile as he showed me a lopsided grin. I'm not sure if I would mind dating him again. He's still the sweet Jay from years ago, maybe even better than before. I keep thinking about Jiyong and I hate it, I need to forget him. He's not a good guy, he just played with my heart. Jay is good, and still single. I should move on, or try at least. 

"No guy? Last time I saw you, someone stood behind you and couldn't help but glare at me when we were talking. I thought he was your boyfriend?" he questioned as I looked down awkwardly. 

"He was my boyfriend, kinda. I don't know what to call him. He was a jerk and a player," I replied with a forced smile as he nodded his head in understanding. 

"Do you wanna talk about it? Because any guy is an if he plays a great girl like you," he exclaimed sweetly as I grinned. It sounded just like something Jiyong would say. First he breaks me, and now he's occupying my mind. Jay is a good guy, and knows how to charm a girl. I should concentrate on him instead of some .

"I don't know if there's anything to talk about. I fell, but he didn't," I said bluntly while shrugging as he frowned. 

"But he definitely seemed jealous, he must have had some feelings for you. If a guy becomes jealous, he feels something," he responded as I looked at my cup. I didn't exactly want to talk about Jiyong during our date. Date as in with a friend. I have a feeling he still likes me, and bringing up my recent breakup is not a good thing. Especially when I want to move on. 

"Can we just not talk about him?" I said softly as he nodded his head looking at me apologetically.

"I was being inconsiderate, right? I'm sorry, but Chae, if you ever want to talk about anything, I'm here. I was stupid for leaving you, I'm sorry. People weren't exactly happy about us at that time, and I ran away from my problems, but I've grown up. And if you ever need anyone, you can contact me." I smiled faintly at his words listening to how sincere he was, and Jiyong couldn't help but enter my mind again. Why can't he be sincere? Why can't he like me? That jerk. I shook away those thoughts, not minding Jiyong since I had a great guy sitting right in front of me, who seemed to be willing to be there for me.

"Thank you, Jay." I  placed my hand on his while smiling gratefully. Suddenly he held my hand and squeezed it before leaning in. 

"Sorry if this is uncomfortable, but that jerk is looking at us and I couldn't help it. Just pretend you're having a great time," he whispered as I looked at him confused. Jerk? Oh, not Jiyong. I've done a good job ignoring him lately, I don't want to see his face. I smirked and leaned even closer so it seemed like we were about to kiss. 

"I don't have to pretend," I replied as he chuckled. I couldn't help it and turned around casually to find him glaring at us, not to forget he was with a woman. I scoffed before returning to my old position. 

"If it helps, that woman isn't even half as y as you. She's no match, don't worry." He showed me a lopsided grin, lifting my mood. He could obviously notice how I glanced at the girl a little too long. She was pretty, maybe she's more interesting than me too.

"Have I told you you're the best?" I kissed him on the cheek, hoping that Jiyong would notice, so he would know I was doing perfectly fine without him. He couldn't break me. 

"We're doing a good job, he's fuming," he exclaimed with a smirk. 

"Well, that was fun." I laughed while we were on our way to his car as he nodded. 

"Yeah, we should do this another time. Hang out I mean, not make your ex jealous." He said playfully while opening the car door for
