❝ We're over. ❞ Seungho opened the door to a smiling Jiyeon. "Seungho~" She said with a low yet excited tone. Her hands were clapped together in front of her and she was nicely dressed, fitting for the warm weather. "Jiyeon, what are you doing here?" Seungho asked. "Did you eat yet? Want to eat out with me?" She asked with her tongue sticking out. Before Seungho could answer, she helped herself in by moving in past him. "By the way, any idea what's wrong with Soohyun? He's been acting strange since he came home from his short work trip." Jiyeon said as she moved over to sit on Seungho's couch. Seungho moved away from the open door and approached her. "In what way?" "Hm, like locking himself in his room for like the whole day and not coming out to find anything to eat." "Lovesick maybe." Seungho said as he sat across from her. Jiyeon laughed at his answer, "Yeah right. My brother would never fall in love. How do I know? Because it's been years and he still hasn't fell for Seyeon." "That doesn't mean he may not fall for other women." Jiyeon let out a dramatic sigh, "Bring a woman to me Seungho, any women that you believe Soohyun would fall for. He does need to get married, he's already at that age." Seungho replied with a lopsided smile. Jiyeon fell back against the couch and let out yet another heavy sigh. "If mom and dad were still alive, they would have found him a fine girl." Her expression turned a little sour at the mention of her deceased parents. The room fell silent for a moment until Seungho spoke, "Jiyeon," he started, earning a curious hum from her, "I need to tell you something." "What is it?" She asked softly. Before he could answer, they heard a knock at the door. To their surprise, they noticed Soohyun standing there alone, looking at them in silence. "Soohyun!" Jiyeon called out as she quickly pulled herself forward. "Is she still here?" Soohyun questioned looking only at Seungho, instantly he knew who Soohyun was talking about. "In the room." Seungho answered. "I need to talk to her." Soohyun said walking in. "Who?" Jiyeon asked. Soohyun hurried over to the room he was using before, while Seungho and Jiyeon stood from their seats slightly confused. "Gain!" Soohyun was about to grab the doorknob to the door but Gain got to it first from the inside, as she opened it, she met Soohyun's eyes and they froze for a moment in the spots. Seungho and Jiyeon could see the hallway, where Soohyun had his back to them and just behind him, Jiyeon noticed another figure. Her jaw dropped a little. Who could have guessed that another woman was living or staying under the same roof as Seungho when she wasn't around. However, the name Gain sounded familiar to her. It wasn't until Soohyun moved a little and she could see Gain's face. Remembering her as the woman who was with Soohyun before. She let out a disbelief scoff behind Seungho. "Soohyun?" Gain said under a whisper. "Gain, I need to talk to you. It's urgent." Soohyun said in a hurry. "What?" She asked. Soohyun stole a glance behind him just to see Seungho and Jiyeon's eyes glued on them. Quickly he turned back to face Gain, "Let's talk elsewhere." "Why?" She asked. "I just....I just need to talk to you alone." "What is it about?" She asked. Soohyun's eyes wander when he couldn't look directly into her eyes. His heart was racing and he felt hot just standing before her. "I just need to ask you something." He explained in a low volumed voice, hoping she would just followed him to a different location, so he could talk to her properly. "Just tell me here." She said. Soohyun became flustered as he quickly cover her by leaning against the wall by the door's ledge. "Come with me please, I promise it won't take long." He whispered. "Bro, what did you want to ask her? And why is she here in Seungho's house? I thought you guys sent her back to her own place?" Jiyeon asked with a confused frown. "Whatever it is you wanted to ask her, you can forget it." Seungho said, ignoring Jiyeon's question for Soohyun, "It's actually good that you're both here." He continued. "There's something you two should know." Soohyun listened carefully with his eyes downward on the floor. Gain looking up and into his eyes, while Jiyeon remain her ground behind Seungho. "Gain and I are together now so you can forget about liking her." Seungho finished. Jiyeon's heart dropped at that along with her jaw. Meanwhile, Soohyun spun halfway around to face Seungho from across the room. "What?" Soohyun asked in a breathy surprised tone. "What do you mean Seungho?" Jiyeon asked him from behind. Her frown soften and her expression became upset and hurtful. "What do you mean you and that woman are together?" Seungho turned around to look into Jiy
