Jaebum stands outside AROUNDUS ENTERTAINMENT, this is the last time he is going to find Seollin. Taking a deep breath before he enters the building, he pushes the glass door to enter. The moment he steps in, Daeun spots him while she is discussing with the front counter colleague about work. Frowning, she walks out of the counter and stares right into his eyes as she walks towards him. "What are you doing here? What do you want this time?" Her flat tone makes him even more nervous than he already is. He knows very well she is not as easy to talk to as Seollin.

 

"I'm...I'm looking for her...Is she in office now?" He stutters in reply, glancing nervously around to avoid the piercing eye contact Daeun is keeping. "Why cant you just give up and let her live her life happily? You have done enough harm to her previously. Dont you think so?" Daeun clenches her fists, trying not to raise her voice at this man in front of her. "Daeun ah..." A familiar but weak voice makes Daeun and Jaebum turn to look.

 

Seollin stands there looking at them both, without any expression on her face. She is feeling unwell from the busy schedule they had during the preparations of the concert and the repackaged album as well as the recent song broadcasting comeback stages HIGHLIGHT members had to attend to promote 'CALLING YOU'. Her usual gastric problem has made her lose appetite and her workaholic character makes her forget to eat many times for the past few weeks. To make sure that Yoseob, Daeun or anyone else does not get distracted by her pale face, she has been using makeup to make herself look as if she was fine.

 

Daeun walks over and whispers to Seollin who nods and walks out of the building. Daeun gestures to Jaebum to ask him to follow Seollin, glaring at him as if to warn not to try to do anything funny. Standing and facing each other, Seollin stays silent and stares blankly at Jaebum who his lips which have dried up from anxiety. "I know I have hurt you deeply previously. I dont expect you to accept me so easily again but I really want to tell you that I'm trying my best to be a better man, a totally different man you knew. Can you give me a second chance Seollin ah?" Jaebum desperately grabs onto her wrist and looks at her with pleading eyes.

 

Seollin struggles but to no avail, her strength is no match for his strength. Suddenly, she was starting to feel dizzy. An excruciating pain makes her break out in cold sweat. "Seollin ah, please, I beg you...Just give me one more chance! Just one more! Seollin ah?..." Seollin starts to lose focus in her vision and Jaebum's voice seem to make things worse. He grabs her by the shoulders and shakes her forcefully to some response from her. Daeun opens the door, wanting to stop the crazy man from his actions. Just then, Seollin blacks out in front of them. "Seollin ah!..." Daeun screams as she watches her best friend faint in front of her eyes. Jaebum stands on the spot, too shocked to react...
