A joint team of police and prosecutors gathered in Donghwa hotel for a farewell party which Sehun specially ordered for all of them since they couldn't leave Seoul. His mother specially prepared a place for them in the garden on the roof of the 18th floor. He thanked her for that and asked her to still keep about them as a secret. 

"I can't believe we got vouchers to eat and stay here. Isn't this too much?" Hyukjae looked at everyone like he still searched for a logical explanation. Jiyoon secretly smiled at Sehun. She knows that Sehun prepared this all.

"We help the community a lot so we really deserve this." Mr. Yoon replied then glanced at Sehun then raised his drinking glass towards him as a sign that he was grateful for all this. Of course, Mr. Yoon knows the relationship between Donghwa Hotel and Sehun. 

Ahyoung quietly smiled too. She forgot that he had a bad term with his mother. She was happy that everything was going well for him. 

Everyone talks and eats with a happy heart. They poured soju at each other glass while enjoying the barbecue meat that Sehun and Haneul grilled. 

"Yura, you look good at drinking," Hyukjae said as poured soju again for her. Sehun who heard them, take a short glanced to check her.

"When you were in New York, did you like drinking soju?" Sera asked curiously. 

Ahyoung nodded. "I drink soju quite often there." She started telling stories about New York that everyone was excited about.

Sehun silently watched her. He smiled too when Ahyoung smiled and laughed when she laughed. Hanel glanced at him and , "Don't be so obvious." 

Sehun ignored him and just smiled. He realized that Ahyoung shines more than usual. She didn't hold back her smile or laugh like she used to. Ahyoung, whom he had known for a long time, was a girl who always smiled everywhere. She smiled when the sun was hot, she smiled when it was raining heavily, she smiled when everyone greeted her and she smiled every time she ran towards him. It felt like he was seeing Ahyoung's missing self again. Even today, as she ran up to him. She ran excitedly and smiled as calling his name. Sehun was very happy about it. In the past, he would just stand and smile in secret but now he showed it proudly to Ahyoung. He thinks he's gone a little crazy because he can't stop smiling for her now.

"You seem fine." Nara came over with a concerned look. 

Sehun looked at her. "What do you mean?"

"I was worried about you after meeting my father." 

He paused a while as remembered that then said, "It's nothing serious. Don't worry..." 

"Really?"

"Yes." He replied then chuckle. "It's not like your father forced me to accept his wish to make me his son-in-law." 

Nara showed a hurtful face with a forced smile. "So, you're more afraid if my father forces you to marry me?" 

Sehun realized his words and read her heart through her eyes, he opened his mouth but no words could come out. At another spot, Ahyoung has noticed them. She knows there was tension between them. She didn't think much about it, the old of her might have walked over to them and would ruin their conversation but now she doesn't want to do it, she realized that they both had their own stories to tell without her. She doesn't want to interfere. Every two people have their own story.

"Don't look at me like that." Nara smirking even though she's nervous inside and take a hot pot when he was told to don't hold it. Sehun flinched, it was too late. Nara dropped the hot pot and everyone looked at the two of them in startled.

"You are stupid? It's hot." Sehun said in worried then check her hand. Nara was silent because she was still a bit dazed and looked at her palms and her fingers were burning red. Haneul came closer and look at Nara's hand. "Geez, what are you just thinking?" 

Sehun asked Ijoon to replace him and then pulled Nara away to the toilet. "You have to wet it with running water quickly." He the water tap while still holding her hand. Nara didn't care too much about the feeling of heat on the surface of her skin, she did care about how Sehun held her hand and how closed they are right now. She's happy that he worried about her but at the same time, it's bitter.

"At times like this, you might not feel anything," Nara said that made him turned his head to her. She added, "If you are doing like this, I feel you might like me but you just don't realize it." She feels she had a chance. 

"I'm dating Yura now." 

Nara fell silent after hearing that statement. She still couldn't take her eyes off him, she's speechless. She didn't think he would tell her. 

"I don't want you to be confused." He said. "And I never mean to confuse you." 

Nara slowly nodded as finally turned her head to their hands. She began smirked to herself then spoke.

"I heard there's a lot of unresolved things between you two. So, I understand why you two are back together. Sometimes we are starting over to find out that it still works or not."

Sehun took off his hand of her and said, "Because we still love each other." Nara almost laughed. Love? She was annoyed that he sounded sincere. She turned off the water tap and he continued, "The first time I saw her again, I knew within seconds that I liked her. In the past, it took me a year to like her but at that time I only needed a second without thinking." 

"You don't need to explain it to me." 

"You're trying to give me an excuse as to why I might get back with her."

Nara let her sigh and turned at him. "I'm just trying to make you change your mind about her."

Sehun didn't say anything and just looked at her. Nara couldn't speak anything again and just turned around and left the toilet. He then follow her out of the toilet and found Ahyoung was standing there.

Ahyoung glanced at the two awkwardly while showing an ointment in hesitation. "I brought this ointment for you." She handed the ointment to Nara. 

"Thanks," Nara answered briefly and left without saying anything else. 

Meanwhile, Sehun seems uncomfortable at first but his gaze turned gentle on Ahyoung. "Did you hear that?"

She nodded then pull up her side lips. They looked at each other in silence then he finally said, "Want to take a little walk?" 

Ahyoung smiled in agreement and they started walking around the hotel. This hotel hasn't changed much since she was last here. It's just that she didn't realize that the hotel garden here was quite wide.

As they walked, Sehun repeatedly glanced at her. He checked if she was bothered about what was going on in the toilet. But now, he couldn't tell what that she feels like he used to. He turned soft on her, "There's nothing you want to ask about earlier?" 

"Hm?" Ahyoung turned at him.

Sehun smiled and wonder about what she just thinking. "There is not any?" 

Ahyoung shook her head but strangely he felt a little disappointed. "Aren't you jealous?" 

That's a question that made Ahyoung almost choked. She gave him a suspicious look as held her laugh. "You expect me to be jealous?" 

Sehun was a little annoyed with her teasing. He turned away his head and mumbled, "You were so jealous back then." 

Ahyoung couldn't help but smile widely. She grabbed Sehun's arm to make him look at her, "You weren't happy when I was jealous." 

"Who said that." He glanced a little at her.

Ahyoung chuckled as furrowed her brows at him. Sehun gave her a real look and pulled his arm slowly away from her then walked faster. "Eh, Oh Sehun..." Ahyoung chased after him and locked his arm. "You're still grumpy."

"I am not." 

Ahyoung stopped suddenly. "After all, I'm just jealous of Jiyoon eonnie because you used to like her."

Sehun looked at her in doubt.

"So, I'm not jealous because you don't have feelings for Nara." She said. "But, rather than jealous, I am a little bit mad." He turned soft on her. She continues, "When she said that she understands the reason that we just back together, strangely, it made me pissed off. Maybe, because I thought her words could be true. We like each other easily again after a long time because of what happened in the past. We spent a lot of time together in our youth, our separation brought us to regret and lead to deep heartbreak. So it's only natural that we falter when we see each other again."

"So what?" Sehun replied. "So what if all of that is the reason?" 

Ahyoung pulled up a little smiled like she already reads his mind. He put his hand on the top of her head, "I'll find even more reasons to stay with you because I like you." 

Sehun's gaze melted her entire heart. She finally realized, she had already decided that from the day she went to his place, none of that mattered as long as they wanted to be together, because they loved each other. 

Ahyoung started smiling in blush then squinted at him. "But, you...just now.. you know how to worry about other people? You pulled her away like this..." She copied the way he grabbed Nara's hand. 

Slowly, a smile appeared on Sehun's face, in the end, he couldn't help but smile when he looked at her.

"What? You just smile?" Ahyoung throws a dirty look.

Sehun pulled her into a hug. "I just suddenly feel happy." 

Ahyoung buried her face on his chest. "Don't take another woman's hand carelessly." 

"Understood." Sehun grinned. "We are dating, right?" Suddenly he asked.

"Why? Aren't we?" Yura asked again. 

"Just..." Sehun laughed to himself. "I just wanted to make sure."

But, Ahyoung was more curious about other things. She wanted to know Sehun and his mother. "So, can I ask something?"

"What?"

"Have you made up with your mother?"

Sehun was silent for a moment then nodded. "Yeah. A lot of things happened while you weren't here but things turned good for my family." 

Ahyoung let him go and looked up at him. "Tell me. I want to hear all of that.."

Sehun smiled. "I can tell you everything." He takes her walking and started to tell her about his mother and his family.

Ten years is really long. They missed a lot of phases. When she heard Sehun talk, sometimes everything was so strange but there were times when she felt that they had been through it together. Sehun's relationship with all his family members changed a lot. He also has some friends. And he's still an amazing guy, too. He is at peace with his past, family, and himself. 

"I'll introduce her to you later," Sehun said.

Ahyoung nodded subconsciously as she continued to stare at him like she was proud of him. He turned to her while hanging up his smile. "Why?" 

She shook her head as a grin and that's made him laughed instantly. They looked away from each other and smiled happily. They let go of each other's hands as they walked closer and closer to the team dinner. When they got there, their team seemed to gather and talk to a foreign man. But, they didn't just chat. They were arguing. 

"I do not understand! I'm just helping you-"

"I don't understand what you're saying! Obviously, you were trying to touch me!"

"Hey! You're a foreigner! He said you touched her!" 

"Can you speak English? I do not understand!" 

"You better explain it at the police station!" 

Ahyoung and Sehun stood behind them confused. "Hey! Hey! What is the problem?" 

They turned to the two in relief. Sera quickly explained, "Oh Sehun! This guy touched my earlier! Tell him that we are a cop and we'll take him to the police station!" 

Hearing that, Ahyoung immediately stepped forward towards the man who had both his hands handcuffed. "I'm sorry sir, have you--" Ahyoung stunned. "PETER?!"

Peter's face looked very relieved. "Yura!"

Everyone stopped talking and looked at the two in surprise. "You know him?" Mr. Yoon asked her hesitantly.

Ahyoung nodded. "Yeah. He's my friend."

Peter immediately explained what happened and Ahyoung cleared up any misunderstandings between them all. Peter just wanted to help Sera get the toilet paper stuck to the back of her shirt but Sera misunderstood. She thought Peter was trying to touch her .
