Kyungsoo came out of his bathroom and was not surprised to find Lee Sung-kyung waiting for him. “Step into my parlour…” he motioned for her to sit on the bed. Sung-kyung helped him get into bed before she took a seat. “I take it you’re here to tell me your decision and to also try to convince me why its best that you return to Beijing?”

Sung-kyung opened to do just that but then she gasped, “Oppa knew where I was?”
