"Why did you drag me out here Sungyeol?" Hyerin asked as she looked at Sungyeol, raising an eyebrow.

"You need to be careful Hyerin.  I think Sunggyu's father has people following you." Sungyeol said as he looked at the girl with a serious expression on his face.  "He does not like you, and he would do anything to keep you away from Sunggyu.  He did the same thing to Woohyun when he was younger. He used to be best friends with Sunggyu, but that soon changed."

"What are you talking about? What did he do to Woohyun?" Hyerin asked as she looked at Sungyeol.

"Have you ever wondered why he treats Sunggyu the way he does?" Sungyeol asked, "It is because his father was the cause of the accident Woohyun's father and older brother got into. The accident that killed them.  He is now taking his anger out on Sunggyu because, he cannot do anything to harm the man who took his happiness away."

"So that is why he is taken his anger out on Sunggyu." Hyerin asked as she felt tears start to form on her lashes.  She had no idea how much Hoya, Woohyun, and Sunggyu had it.  Hyerin was starting to wonder if something was wrong with Dongwoo.  There had to be a reason why he was so kind all the time.  Why could she not remember? Dongwoo was her childhood best friend. Why could she not remember much about her childhood with him.

"Hey..." Sungyeol said as he placed two hands on her cheek's drying her tears.  "Things are only going to get harder from now on, but you cannot let these things get to you." Sungyeol lifted her face, making her look at him.

"But..." Hyerin bit her lip and looked up at Sungyeol and into his eyes.  He was being so kind to her lately.  He was not making many erted comments anymore.  Hyeirn hopes she could help Sungyeol gain his wings.

"But nothing.  Hyerin, I am here to guild and protect you, but I cannot chose who you love. You're heart chooses what you love. If you keep telling yourself not to love someone it is only going to hurt you in the end.  From the beginning I have been telling you to follow your heart, please start listening to it." Sungyeol sighed.

"My heart does not know what it wants though. I am happy I am with all of them. How do you expect me to chose."

"I will ask my boss if you can have an extension.  Six months is to short, you at least need a year to fall in love." Sungyeol sighed.  "I am going to talk to him now...I will see you later." Sungyeol said as he walked away from Hyerin.  She sighed deeply before turning around to be face to face with Lee Howon.

"Was that Sungyeol?"  He asked as he watched the man walk away from Hyerin.

"How do you know Sungyeol?" Hyerin asked as she looked at Hoya with a serious look on her face.

"We were on the same assignment for volunteer day. I got to talk to him for a bit and he seems like a nice person."  Hoya placed a hand on her cheek and bushed his thumb over her wet face. "Have you been crying again?"

"I was, but Sungyeol cheered me up." Hyerin said as she placed a hand on Hoya's wrist and pulled his hand off of her face.  "Why are you here anyway?"

"I was looking for you." Hoya placed his hands in his sweatshirt pocket, "We need to talk about last night's kiss."

"What is there to talk about?" Hyerin said as she took a step back, being around Hoya was difficult right now.  He was making her feel uncomfortable, and she was unsure what her heart wanted anymore.  "We kissed, that's all."

Hoya sighed deeply and took a step forward, "We need to talk about it because the kiss is making you feel uncomfortable to be around me."  Hoya placed to hands on her shoulders.  "Please, just hear me out."

Woohyun's words were getting to Hoya.  He could not believe the man could see right through him.  

What did you do to Hyerin? You do not think I don't know that something happened between you two?

I did nothing to her? Why do you care so much about her anyway?

Because she has a good heart and sees good things in people that other people may not see!

Hoya did not dare to answer Woohyun's question.  There was not point answering that man because he knew that Woohyun would twist his words.  "Hyerin,  I want to apologize for my actions.  I know that I should not have forced that kiss on you, but I really like you and was hoping we could date."

Hyerin looked at Hoya and did not expect a confession like this so suddenly.  She was not over Dongwoo's confession to her.  "I don't know what to say..." Hyerin bit her lip and looked at Hoya, "I..."

"You do not need to give me your answer now, Hyerin." Hoya said as he placed a hand on top of her head, patting it. "I just needed to let you know how I feel because if I did not tell you, it would eat me
