She chatted Jongdae to call her because she got important information he needed to know. He replied with, “What?” but she insisted him to just call her. Finally, he called her. Kara told everything what happened the other day and Jinyoung just silent as she heard nothing from the phone.

“That why I already said to you that something was not right of Lay’s action to me,” she told him. Yeah, he knew all of the reason why she could say that but he had always denied her that Lay just acted like that as a brother. Now Jongdae knew the shocking story, what else could he deny? Jongdae shook his head, didn’t believe this. Didn’t think that Lay would kiss her. Didn’t think that Lay would act this far. “Don’t tell anybody,” Kara said.

What right he has to slap Lay anyway. “I said to him that he is crazy, out loud until his mom came to me and asked what happened,” Kara eyes got wider because she heard that Jinyoung said Lay’s mom. “Calm down, I didn’t tell her any story about it,” phew. “Anyway, it’s rational for you to say that the other day. You need time,” he advised her.

“Certainly,” she answered.
