Sungyeol appeared in heaven, and was wandering around, searching for that old man who refused to talk to him.  Many people told him to go back to Earth and do his job, but he continued to refuse unless he talked to God.

"You're so stubborn, Sungyeol oppa." Baby Soul said as she suddenly appeared by Sungyeol. "You of all people should know that he is not going to extend the date for Hyerin. Have you forgotten that he is giving you a year and not six months.  Why do you keep confusing the poor girl by telling her she only has six months to find love."

"It does not hurt to try, and I think she needs more than a year,  a year is still not enough. How can someone fall in love just like that.  It takes time to love someone." Sungyeol sighed. "Have you talked to her parents again?"

"How do you know what it is like to be in love, Sungyeol oppa.  Have you even kissed a girl?" Baby Soul sighed.  "I have not been in contact with Hyerin's parents recently, but I can tell you that they are watching over her." Baby Soul sighed.

"I have kissed plenty of girls. I just do not go around telling everyone about it, and besides…I cannot fall in love right now, it would be foolish.  Hyerin is my priority right now.  She needs to pick her one-true-love." Sungyeol looked at Baby Soul.

"This is the first human you have been serious about helping. The other people you tried to help were half assed."Baby Soul sighed.

"You know that you are not supposed to curse, Soul unnie." Mijoo said as she suddenly appeared by them.  "Having a love quarrel again?"

"What?" Baby Soul asked.

"A love quarrel, you two fight like an old married couple." Mijoo sighed.  "Shouldn't you be watching that girl you are supposed to be protecting, something bad always happens when you disappear."

"I should not be there 24-5 Mijoo.  I want things to happen naturally between Hyerin and her four love interest." Sungyeol sighed. "I am not going to force her on them. She already told me not to force her on them."

"But, if she takes too much time to fall in love then..." Mijoo said.

"I know, she will die if she takes too long to fall in love, but it is her choice. I cannot force her to do something. It is up to her heart to decided." Sungyeol placed his hands in his pockets. "I guess I cannot talk to that old man.  I am going to head back to Earth.  Soul, can you walk with me. I want to talk to you about something."

"If you are planning on convincing me to do something that will get the both of us in trouble, I want..."

Sungyeol sighed deeply and walked over to Soojung, placing a hand on her chin, "I do not want to talk about something that will get us in trouble.  I want to talk to you as a friend in private, about something that has been bothering me.  You are one of the only people I can console in."  Sungyeol released her chin and walked away from her.

"I think he likes you." Mijoo said with a smirk on her lips.

"Quiet you..." She said as she followed Sungyeol. "You seem troubled by something? Are you really going to leave it up to Hyerin to decided? If she dies her parents are not going to be happy about it."

"I know..." Sungyeol sighed as he sat down at the edge of the cloud and patted the stop next to him. 

"And you are going to let that happen." Soojung asked as she sat down next to Sungyeol, looking down at Earth.

"No, of course not. I do not want Hyerin to die.  She does not deserve that fate." Sungyeol sighed deeply.  "Hyerin deserves all the happiness in the world and I intend on getting that for her."

Even though he did not have a date, that was not going to stop Woohyun from going to the Dance-A-Thon.   He scanned the room and noticed a familiar female friend that he has not seen for years. Woohyun could not believe she was with Sunggyu of all people, but knowing Sunggyu's father, he probably had a say in setting them up. 

Woohyun was debating whether or not he should talk to Yura; Sunggyu's father did not like him much, but he did like Yura.  He bit his lip and decided to walk over to the girl.  Woohyun put his arm around her shoulder and smirked. "Did you miss me?"

Yura looked over and saw Woohyun with his huge smile on his face.  "Oppa! What are you doing here?"

"I go to school here silly." Woohyun chuckled, "Why didn't you tell me that you returned to Korea?  How was studying aboard?"

"Because Sunggyu's father forbade me to contact you, if I want to marry Sunggyu op
