“Jiyeon, what is this?” Her father asked in an angry tone. Jiyeon replied, “Just like what you see, I’m marrying-”

“NO.” He shouted. “I don’t know what has gotten into you after moving in with Eunjung. Doing ridiculous like this and asking reporters to release this article?! Eunjung is the problem. You’ll move out from that house NOW.”

Jiyeon’s eyes widen at that sentence. It snapped her. She threw her bag on the table. “Eunjung was the only one who treated me like ANYONE ELSE. SHE’S THE ONLY ONE WITH ME NOT FOR THE MONEY BUT FOR OUR FRIENDSHIP. SHE’S MY ONLY FRIEND. YOU DON’T TELL ME WHAT TO DO WITH HER!” She shouted.

No one was happy.

Not even herself.

I thought I’ll be happy with him. I thought I loved him. It was just an obsessed infatuation.

I was really manipulated by Taemin…

I was really…really…-

Jiyeon fell unconscious on the sofa, which made everyone silent immediately. “SEND HER TO THE HOSPITAL NOW!” Her father shouted.

Namjoo rolled her eyes. “Is Myungsoo for real? Releasing articles like this?!” She complained. “We should’ve stopped them from dating.” She continued. Chorong nudged her to keep it down. Even though Naeun did not say anything in front of them and acted ‘normal’, they all knew what happened. They could hear her soft crying sounds at night, and bloated eyes in the morning.
