Fading Moonlight
All It Takes
That night, Yong had trouble sleeping. She truly believed Byul had genuine feelings for her. How did she misinterpret the signs? She felt stupid. Just in time with her misery, Yong, Jennie, and Hwasa were invited to a birthday party that would happen at her classmate's house. It's time to let loose and forget about Byul. Lisa and Wheein came with Hwasa and Jennie as their plus one.
They were watching people dancing or making out on the side of the room from where they were seated at the party.
Eric showed up, and he tried to talk to Yong more than once. Yong was lucky that her friends were looking out for her and wouldn't let Eric get close to her.
But finally, after a few hours of drinking, Eric saw a chance. Wheein and Hwasa got distracted by the food that had just been brought to the table. Jennie and Lisa went somewhere alone when things got hot during their make-out session.
Wheein
Byul, I need you to tell me the truth.
Do you like Yong?
Byul
Of course.
Wheein
Like her like a girlfriend?
A fling?
Byul
You have no idea how much I want
Yong to be my girlfriend!
Wheein
Are you going to tell her?
Byul
I don't know Whee.
I don't think that's how she felt about me.
Wheein
What are you talking about?
Byul
Maybe she still has unresolved feelings for Eric?
Wheein
I don’t think so.
How about you?
Do you like Dahee?
Byul
Dahee? No!
Wheein
Then explain this.
Wheein sent a picture of Byul and Dahee kissing.
Byul
Why do you have that?
Wheein
I got it from Hwasa.
Someone saw you kissing Dahee.
Hwasa said Eric sent this to Yong.
Byul
That picture is out of context.
Dahee kissed me,
but I did not kiss her back.
In fact, I shoved her away.
I don't know why she kissed me out of the blue.
I was walking down the hallway
to turn in something when I saw her.
Wheein
And someone happened to see you both
and take a photo.
Byul
But that is impossible.
How could someone see us
and take a picture of it in such a short time?
The kiss only lasted a second.
It wasn't much of a kiss.
Wheein
I don’t know Byul.
But please, talk to Yong.
Admit your feelings.
She is mad. I'm with her now.
Byul
Where are you?
Wheein
Here at Seungwan's birthday party.
Eric is also here.
He is obviously trying to talk to Yong.
Could you come?
Byul
Oh, I know that.
I got invited yesterday
but said that I was not interested.
If only I had known Eric would be there to bother Yong.
I will be there soon.
Yong and Eric talked . And she was surprised to find that it was fun to talk with Eric. Or it could have just been the alcohol. She had more than she could handle, and now her inhibitions were lowered. Eric has been a gentleman in every way. Since Yong let Eric talk to him, Wheein and Hwasa had no choice but to let it happen. Wheein wished Byul was there.
Wheein
Come on, Byul, where are you?
No reply.
Eric pleaded. "Yong, I mean what I said the last time. I want to start over with you. Can you at least give me a chance to show that I've changed?"
"I am with Byul."
"But you've seen the picture of her with Dahee, so you know she's cheating on you."
"I don't know, Eric. It's just a picture."
"Don't delude yourself, Yong. There is proof."
Yong was speechless. She wanted to talk to Byul, but she couldn't if B
