Barging in her best friend’s office, Jiwoo witnesses how Jungeun occupies herself on her laptop. The former knows that the lawyer doesn’t have any work to do that day, and after seeing the author burst out from the room and ignored her godchild, Jiwoo suspects that something happened between the two.

“Kim Jungeun, stop what you are doing right now and tell me what happened.” Jiwoo says in demanding tone. She needs to know what caused Jinsol to leave in hurry while shaking.

Walking around and standing behind the older, the secretary finds Jungeun just playing some kiddy games in her gadget, so she closes it and turns her best friend’s swivel chair around.

Upon seeing the watery eyes and shaking bottom lip of the lawyer, she immediately pulls Jungeun into a hug and comfort her.

No one talk after that, only Jungeun’s sobs surrounds the office and Jiwoo swears that she never seen her best friend cried that hard again after her parents fought and got divorced.

If Jungeun cries that hard, it only means she’s breaking right now. And it scares the younger.

Thinking about the question Jinsol asked to her that morning, it makes Jiwoo wonders about what really happened to the pair.

Both Jungeun and Jinsol like each other, so if one of them confessed then it supposed to be ended well.

But why her best friend is crying hard right now? And why the author left the firm?

Jiwoo rubs Jungeun’s back to calm her down and shows her comfort to the brunette until she stop from sobbing and only weak whimpers can be heard.

“What happened, Jungie?” The red head asks with gentleness in her voice.

She kisses her best friend’s forehead while continuing to rub her back and Jungeun let out a heavy sigh. “We fought-“ Choking from her own tears, the lawyer coughs before she continues “,and she left.”

“Tell me the whole story.” Jiwoo says, making her best friend tells her everything that happened in her office around a half an hour ago. “Ow.” And that’s the only word that Jiwoo lets out after Jungeun finished her story.

The older calms down herself from her own crying, but keeps her grip on Jiwoo’s blouse and she whispers, “I’ve made a mistake, right?”

Well she did. And Jiwoo wants to say that.

But she also knows that her best friend only said those hurtful words towards the author because of her pride and she just pretended to be tough, which Jungeun always do even though she’s too fragile for this world.

“Jungie, I think it was just a misunderstanding. Both of you got too carried away and let out the words that you didn’t mean to say. Maybe you should talk about it with Jinsol. Clear your thoughts and apologize to her. Both of you have your own fault. Make the first move as soon as possible.”

The lawyer stares at the floor for a while after her secretary gave her advice and after a minute, she just shakes her head. “I think we’re both still not okay. I’m not sure if she calmed down already, so I’ll just wait for her to come here.”

“Okay, hun. But if she doesn’t show up herself later or tomorrow, make a move, okay?” Jiwoo pats Jungeun’s back gently before she gives her forehead another kiss and pulls away. “I’ll go and watch Yerim. Take some rest, Jungie.”

Giving her best friend a slight smile and small nod, Jungeun watches the younger leave her office and locks it from the outside. Giving her privacy to rest and think.

It was indeed just a misunderstanding. Jungeun didn’t mean what she had said and she feels guilty about it, hurting Jinsol with her words.

The lawyer shakes her head before she puts her face on her palms, trying to relax herself by doing some breathing exercise.

She must calm down and think how to apologize and talk to the certain raven who running on her mind now. Jungeun can’t believe that liking someone can drain her that much.

Crying her eyes out after arriving to her apartment, Jinsol cannot stop herself from sobbing hard.

Maybe it is still early for her to say that she’s deeply in love. But she doesn’t know what love really is and how it works, so she assumes it is normal to someone who has no experience in love to just let out her feelings.

She’s hurting right now. She feels heavy and her heart clenches while thinking about what Jungeun said. Call her weak or shallow or exaggerated but it breaks her, so maybe it is okay for her to act this way.

Trying her best to stop her tears from falling and calming herself, Jinsol sits on her apartment’s couch before she stares at the wall in front of her.

What did Jungeun mean with her words?

There is nothing between them. She knows that, but it still hurts.

And she was jealous over the Jay guy. So it clouded her mind and get emotional.

Image of Jungeun with the guy that obviously is close with the lawyer, occupied and still bothers her mind.

Then the younger’s last few words.

“And never will be.”

The author clenches her jaw before she shakes her head and let out a huge exhale.

She needs some drinks. She needs to drink and get wasted.

Maybe she just needs few glass of alcohol and she’ll be okay.

Right.

After gulping her third shot of vodka, the raven asks the woman in front of her to give her another glass and she furrows her eyebrows. She’s still sober after three glasses, Jinsol is slowly getting irritated.

“It’s still early, Jinsol. Yet you’re drinking already. Does your best friend know that you’re here?”

The woman with pink hair hands another glass to the broken author and let the latter drink it in one gulp.

“No. I think Haseul’s in hospital right now and working.” Jinsol answers after giving back the glass.

“Well she is, but how about Sooyoung?”

“Vivi, I don’t think she wants to see me like this.” The raven says to the owner of the empty bar she’s drinking at right now.

The woman, who owns the nickname Vivi, rolls her eyes before giving the younger a straight face. “And you think I want to see you drink vodka like a madwoman?”

“You love me, boss.”

“Yeah, sure. So what happened to you?”

Driving across two cities to reach Vivi’s bar is quite out of the blue, especially when after you barged in to the place, you immediately asked for a glass of vodka.

The owner knows her former DJ have a big problem.

Jinsol shares her story to Vivi after seconds of thinking twice, and the latter just listens to her until she finished it.

“A misunderstanding, I see.” The pink haired woman comments after Jinsol told her everything. “, and jealousy issues. Didn’t know you’re possessive, Jinsol.”

The author scoffs at the older before she gestures for another glass but Vivi refuses to give her more. “No, I’m giving you lesson and you need to hear and understand it clearly.”

Frowning before she gives up, Jinsol nods after, signaling the bar owner to start.

“First, you shouldn’t lied, stupid.” Earning a loud groan of protest from the younger, Vivi continues smiling, completely satisfied from Jinsol’s reaction. “And second, you should have confessed to her. That was an opportunity for you to tell her your feelings, yet you lied and made her feel offended. I don’t know if that’s the right word though.”

The raven thinks deeply about what her former boss said and slowly, it sinks in her mind. Mentally regretting what she did that morning.

“Yeah.. I think you’re right, Vivi.”

Shaking her head while smirking, Vivi replies, “I’m perfec
