Chapter 12
We Were In Love (사랑을 했다)It has been a week since that day. Joohyun starts to return to school but she avoids bumping into Sehun. Kai's the one who always stays by her side. Not long after that, Sehun moves back to his new condo near his school and the house that Hanna mentioned before is now inhabited by a married couple.
Kai and Sehun relationship is getting nowhere. Kai is still angry with Sehun and Sehun also doesn’t want to make things worse so he decides not to irritate his friend.
Days and weeks pass quickly. Hanna and Sehun are getting along and Hanna is trying her best to accept Sehun's faults. She's trying to open her heart again after Sehun came to her house that night.

Two days after Joohyun began to avoid Sehun, the guy arrives at Hanna's house to explain everything, feeling nervous and shaky. He knocks on the door a few times but there's no one to open the door.
