present

A month has already passed by since Joonmyeon and Chorong started dating 'again.' It all started with that kiss, and to this day forward, Celestine is still wondering how and why this would happen to her. She has not heard anything from the Wanderer in like, forever, and she's doubting if this would last, well... until she dies?

"Unnie, you alright?" Bomi asked while taking a sip on her glass of milk.

Chorong fidgeted with her fingers and sighed afterwards, feeling a weight over her shoulders. "Yeah... just nervous."

Both of them continued to watch a Korean comedy show. Bomi, obviously a very cheerful person, laughed along with the audience at the television, meanwhile, Chorong kept on looking at her phone in her hands. They stayed silent until the front door burst open, revealing a sweaty, heavy breathing Namjoo. "Where's Rong-unnie?" She asked while taking off her jacket. Chorong quickly turned her head to the side and asked, worried about her bandmate. "What's the -"

"Suho's at the park and he's with some girl."

Instead of being shocked, Celestine stood up to face her and remained calm. "No, no. That can't be true, Namjoo-yah. Maybe that person just looked like him."

Namjoo shook her head. "He actually saw me and he's already coming over." This time, Chorong's eyes widened, and as if on cue, the doorbell rang multiple times. "Come on, unnie. Hide!"

"Why am I going to hide?" Chorong asked dumbfoundedly.

"Just do it, dummy. We'll protect you and ask him questions for you." Bomi assured while giving her a thumbs up before finally pushing her inside their bedroom. She closed the door without saying a word and Celestine kept open due to absolute confusion.

Out of curiosity, she leaned her ear against the door so she could hear whatever is happening outside.

"Where is she? Namjoo, you don't get it."

"She's not here and I saw what you two did!"

"Chorong messaged me twenty minutes ago saying she was still here. She's in her bedroom, isn't she?"

"No. Oh my gosh -"

All of a sudden, she could hear footsteps getting louder and nearer by the door and she took two steps back. Celestine didn't know what to do. And before she could even think, the door slammed open and she flinched at the noise. Joonmyeon stood in front of her, panting with his eyebrows furrowed. Without a single word, he held onto her wrist tightly and dragged her out of their apartment. She could hear Bomi and Namjoo calling for her name, but when she turned around, Hayoung stopped them from chasing her and Joonmyeon. Before she even knew it, he opened the door to the emergency staircase and shut it once they were inside.
