Jeonghan couldn't believe it.

Joshua agreed to the marriage and so, Jeonghan rashly told Joshua to meet up with him.

Joshua sighed as he ended the call.

Maybe Seungcheol was right. Jeonghan was out of control and it's scary.

Jeonghan and Joshua met at the latter's house.

"What the heck, Joshua! A month ago, you told me there's no way you'll agree and now what is this?!"

Joshua bit his lip. He accepted the proposal 1 and a half week after he met Seungcheol because he was afraid that the days were being too fast and he'll sooner find Jeonghan breaking down because of Seungcheol's departure.

Joshua doesn't love Jeonghan but he's still his friend.

"Face it, Jeonghan. There's nowhere we can escape. We can't run away."

"You're not thinking thoroughly, Joshua!" Jeonghan felt himself tearing up.

"Jeonghan, maybe someday... we'll learn to love each other." Joshua looked down.

It was getting harder to lie now that Jeonghan was shaking.

"I don't want to love you! I want Seungcheol and only him! Cancel what you said to umma and appa!" Jeonghan punched Joshua's chest.

"Jeonghan! Snap out of it! Do you think Seungcheol will be happy with you 'til the end, huh?!"

"W-What are you saying?" Jeonghan's eyes widen.

How dare Joshua judge Seungcheol like that?

"Jeonghan, he's been beaten up. Do you think he's alright with just you by his side? Ah no, let me rephrase that. Are you even considering what he feels?" Joshua glared.

"You don't know him."

Joshua wanted to say the truth but he held it in.

"Maybe I don't but anyone in his situation would be frustrated and rethink his decisions. Were you really worth it?"

"I hate you." Jeonghan slapped Joshua.

Joshua scoffed as he touched his slapped cheek.

"Am I that lowly to you?"

"Come to your senses, Jeonghan. He's going to give up on you anytime now."

"I'm not marrying you."

"Sadly, I asked your parents that we marry next week." Joshua smirked.

Jeonghan's body shook again with rage.

"W-Why are you l-like this?"

"Just leave already, Jeonghan. Don't make me call some guards."

Jeonghan left the house with a broken heart and went to Seungcheol's studio where the latter would most likely be.

"Jeonghan?" Seungcheol raised an eyebrow.

The truth was, Seungcheol received a text from Joshua.

"S-Seungcheol..."

"Are you okay? Where did you go?" Seungcheol cupped Jeonghan's cheeks.

"I...I can't stop them anymore." Jeonghan cried.

"I-I... I'm sorry." Seungcheol pulled Jeonghan into a hug.

"I don't want to marry Joshua." Jeonghan tightened the hug.

"I don't want you to marry him too." Seungcheol sighed as a tear fell from his eyes.

"Let's run away." Jeonghan pulled out of the hug.

"What?" Seungcheol's eys widen.

"We can run away from them."

"We can't do that. You can't do that, Jeonghan."

"Don't you want to be free?"

"We can never be free." Seungcheol sighed.

"Why do I feel like you're not with me anymore?" Jeonghan frowned.

"I-I love you, Jeonghan."

"Seungcheol?"

Seungcheol kissed Jeonghan to somehow make Jeonghan forget for a while. It worked.

Vernon and Seungkwan were at a cafe with them wearing disguises.

Vernon was quiet than usual.

"Is there something wrong? Do you feel unwell?" Seungkwan reached out to touch Vernon's forehead.

"I'm okay." Vernon smiled as he held Seungkwan's hand and kissed it.

"You seem sad." Seungkwan frowned.

"I'm okay, what are you saying?" Vernon chuckled.

"Is there something you want to say, Hansol?" Seungkwan sighed.

"I love you." Vernon smiled.

"I love you too, you weirdo." Seungkwan snorted as he caressed Vernon's cheek.

"How about you sleep in my house tonight?" Vernon grinned as Seungkwan's eyes widen.

"Eh? Why so sudden?"

"I think it's time for my boyfriend to see my house, don't you think?" 

"Umm, okay then." 

Seungkwan was sure there's something wrong.

At Vernon's house, Seungkwan just sat at the sofa.

Vernon's house was cozy and just right.

"Do you like it?"

"Mhm." Seungkwan nodded with a smile.

Vernon sat next to Seungkwan and lied his head on Seungkwan's lap.

"Hansol... I want to ask something." Seungkwan bit his lip.

Seungkwan has a feeling it won't end well but he has to know. He's Vernon's boyfriend after all.

"Hmm?" Vernon's eyes closed.

"What's the problem, really? It's been like... a week and a half? I don't know but you've been really quiet for some while."

"I'm okay, Seungkwan. Stop trying to think otherwise." Vernon sighed.

"I'm just worried for you, Hansol. I don't like how you've been lately."

"Why? Is it because I don't treat you like I used to?" Vernon scoffed as he sat up.

"I didn't mean it like that, Hansol!" Seungkwan frowned.

"Oh really? You're just trying to be concerned, huh? I'm fine, Seungkwan!" Vernon stood up.

"I don't understand what's happening to you! I really am concerned! If I wasn't, then I should
