Foreword
*birds tweet* …. *cars hoot* … * cold breeze* … *fresh air*…
Simon: Aaahhh~~ Where should I go? Here, there or there?
*coffee’s aroma went oozing everywhere
Simon: Coffee shop.
___________________________________________________________________________
Simon: Can I please have 1 cappuccino, mocha cake and water please?
Girl: Yes. Is that it? *smiles and grabs a counter table to put his ordered food and drinks*
Simon: Yea. Thanks. *held the counter table*
* sat calmly on the rattan chair as he putted his bag beside the chair*
___________________________________________________________________________
Simon: Ok. Done.
*he grabbed his backpack and stood up. Went out, inhaled fresh air and then walked*
* walking calmly getting out of the fuzzy corner but then bumped a guy*
Youngwon: Oh hyung!
Simon: Youngwon! Since when were you here?
Youngwon: Aahh~~ Just a month ago.
Simon: I see.
Youngwon: What are you doing here?
Simon: Just visiting
Youngwon: Oh! These are my friends. This is Daniel*waved. And Inati*waved.
Simon: *bows*
Youngwon: Hyung. We’re going to this coffee shop who sells the best coffee. Do you want to come? It’s this shop.
Simon: Ah! Thanks but I just came from there.
Youngwon: Why don’t you just give me your phone number and we’ll hangout after we had our coffees?
Simon: Alright.
*clicking buttons here and there*
Youngwon: Ok hyung! We’re going.
Daniel: Nice meeting you.*shakes hands with Simon*
Inati: Nice meeting you.*shakes hand with Simon*
Simon: Nice meeting you too.*bows*
___________________________________________________________________________
Daniel: Who was that?
Youngwon: It’s my hyung. He’s my childhood friend.
*opens the shop’s door*
Inati: Aaah~
Daniel: Stop talking about him. Let’s order.
___________________________________________________________________________
Simon: Who should I give it to? *taps the glass* Excuse me. How much is that necklace?
Girl: Which one?
Simon: The gold one with the cross pendant with it.
Girl: [translated to English] Just 98,000 won.
Simon: It’s expensive. But I’ll buy it.
Girl: Thanks *smiles and gives the packet*
*Simon’s phone rang*
Simon: Hello?
Youngwon: Hyung! It’s me. Youngwon.
Simon: Ah!
Youngwon: Do you want to hang out with us?
Simon: Err. Uhhh, yeah. Yeah. I will.
Youngwon: AAAHHH~!!! HYUNG! Just meet us up at the coffee shop!
*Daniel’s behind the phone*
Daniel: Youngwon! Calm down. There are lots of people.
Youngwon: Sorry. ~hehe
Simon: Is it the coffee shop where we met?
Youngwon: Yeah........... Ok hyung! I’ll hang up now. Bye!
Simon: Bye.
*Simon went all the way back*
Youngwon: Hyung! I’m here.*as he waved to Simon*
Simon: *smiles*
Daniel: Glad you’re hanging out with us.
Simon: Me too. I was supposed to buy some stuff but Youngwon called me so I just preferred to go with you guys.
Inati: Youngwon, you’re such a planner-breaker.
Youngwon: Intae-hyung!*as he looked at Inati. Simon-hyung! Sit here*offered a chair*. I’ll get a chair.
Simon: Thanks*sat down*
Inati: From what province did you and came from?
Youngwon quickly answered.
Youngwon: Busan!
Inati: Youngwon! Since when were you active like that?
Youngwon: Of course. This time. Since I met my best friend in childhood. You should be happy, wouldn’t you?
*Daniel whispered to Inati*
Daniel: Looks like you had something with Simon.
Inati: *laughed* Daniel!
Youngwon: Daniel! Don’t be like that! You little boy.
Daniel: Why are you always calling me little boy? I’m tired of that.
Inati: Daniel. Remember? You were born after he was born.
Daniel: *sighed*
Youngwon: Hyung! How’s Beth?
Simon: She went to UK a very long time ago
Youngwon: Did she?
Daniel: Who’s Beth?
Simon: She’s our childhood friend. She’s just the girl in the province who keeps on hanging out with us. So, she became our best girl-friend during child days. I still remember the time when Youngwon liked her.
Daniel: Did he? Youngwon?
Simon: Yea. He confessed to Beth. But when Beth migrated to UK, she started to like somebody else.
Daniel: Casa nova Youngwon.
Youngwon: Hyung. Why did you tell it?
Simon: I’m sorry. I won’t tell it anymore. But when are you coming back to the province?
Youngwon: I’m not sure. I’m currently stuck to something that’s why I can’t easily go back there.
Simon: What stuck to something?
Youngwon: You’ll see soon.
Daniel: Simon. Simon, right?
Simon: Yeah.
Daniel: I planned something for someone I love. Would you help me? It seems like I can’t do it by myself.
Simon: What’s it about?
Daniel: Something.
Youngwon: What’s that about little boy? Is that for Lia?
Daniel: Kind of.
Youngwon: It isn’t your anniversary yet. Still one and a half weeks to go.
Inati: Did you calculate it?
Youngwon: Of course hyung! I’m smart enough. I’m not a bum.
Daniel: What do you think?*referring to Simon*
Simon: Err. Yeah. I will.
Daniel: Good.
Inati: Can we stand up now? We’ve been seating here for 40 minutes.
Youngwon: You calculated it, hyung?*looks at his watch*. Almost right.
Inati: *laughs*
Daniel: Alright. Stand up now and let’s go back to my house. We need to plan.
Inati: Daniel! Don’t tell me I’m thinking what you’re planning to do to Ann…..
Daniel: Sssh.
Youngwon: What’s it hyung?
Inati: Nothing. Nothing you should know.
Youngwon: Oh hyung! Are you bored? They’re totally boring and I’m used to it. So, don’t worry about it.
Simon: It’s alright. I’m fine.
Inati: I’m sorry Simon. Daniel is really boring. He’s just a little kid.
Daniel: Don’t tell Simon that. You’re all old that’s you don’t know the term “BORING” .
Simon: That’s alright. I’ll stay here and wait for you.
Youngwon: Daniel. You said we’re going to your house. Aren’t we going yet?
Daniel: In fact, we’re going now. Simon. You want to come?
Simon: Ah yes. Yeah. Of course.
Youngwon: His house is really beautiful hyung! Don’t even hesitate in coming.
Inati: Youngwon’s really like that. He’s really like that. You know, talkative.
Youngwon: Hyung! I’m a happy person, at least.
Daniel: But you’re old.
Youngwon: Little boy!
Inati: You two! Stop arguing. Let’s go Daniel.
Youngwon: See!
Daniel: You see!
Inati: Daniel!
Daniel: Why is it me again?
Inati: Stand up you two! Simon. You can stand up now.
*stood up and walked to the car park*
Youngwon: Hyung! This is Daniel’s car. It’s nice, right?
Daniel: You’re acting as a tour guide, are you?
Youngwon: Is this being a tour guide? A tour guide is where you tour a person to a certain place. I’m not touring him. I’m just letting him know that it’s your car.
Inati: Simon. Don’t be silent. Talk to us. It’s just so awkward if one of us is so silent and everyone else is talking. You’re a complete opposite of Youngwon.
Simon: It’s just that I have nothing to talk to about.
Youngwon: Yeah. Inati-hyung! Don’t judge Simon.
Inati: I’m not judging him. Looks like Youngwon doesn’t even know what “JUDGE” means.*laughs*
Daniel: Stop talking. I’ve been waiting here for ages.
Youngwon: Let’s go in.
Daniel: Simon. It just takes 10 minutes of drive to my house. It doesn’t take that long.
Youngwon: Daniel, aren’t you picking up Lia?
Daniel: Oh yeah. I almost forgot.
Inati: Simon. We’re going to go pick up Lia first before we go to Daniel’s house.
Youngwon: She’s Daniel’s girlfriend.
Daniel: Youngwon!
Youngwon: Daniel! Little boy! What?!
Daniel: *sigh*
Inati: Yeah. Lia is. She’s really beautiful. The problem is…. she doesn’t suit with Daniel. *laughs*
Daniel: Intae-hyung!
Inati: I’m just kidding. Don’t take it seriously.
Youngwon: She’s really beautiful, yes. She is very kind and respectful, yes. She has everything a guy can ask for.
Inati: Absolutely. Lucky Daniel, I suppose?
Youngwon: Yeah. Daniel is a complete opposite of Lia. Well, I can say Daniel is a very handsome guy but he’s not that good like before. I don’t know what happened to him.
Daniel: Youngwon!
Youngwon: We’re close to her work now.
Simon: Where does she work?
Youngwon: She works as a manager of a bar. She works every night so we have to pick her up every morning.
Daniel: Lia has a car before .She was just so tired that time that she bumped it near our house.
Youngwon: You didn’t tell such a thing Daniel! Didn’t he hyung?
Inati: He told me that.
Youngwon: Why not me?
Inati: Because you act like Lia’s boyfriend. You care too much for her. I mean you can just cook food for her or assist her whenever she needs help but not something a boyfriend should do to her.
Youngwon: It’s because I care for her completely. Not like others!
Daniel: Are you letting me hear that Youngwon?
Inati: Simon. Don’t worry about them. They argue almost every day. Non-stop, I should say.
Simon: Why? What’s wrong with them two?
Youngwon: It’s because of Daniel.
Inati: Youngwon!
Youngwon: Sorry.
Inati: I don’t know too.
Daniel: We’re here.*as he stopped the car and went out*
Simon: This is a big bar.
Inati: Yeah. She started here as a normal worker but due to her hard work; the president of the bar noticed her and promoted her as a manager.
Simon: I see.
Inati: Simon. Can you move beside Youngwon? Lia needs to seat here.
Simon: Yes. *he moved beside Youngwon*
Lia: Hello guys!*she opened the car door*
Youngwon: Hi Lia!
Lia: Hi!
Inati: How are you Lia?
Lia: Fine. Oh! You have a new friend?
Simon: Hi.
Lia: Hi! What’s your name?
Youngwon: His name is Simon. He’s my childhood friend.
Lia: Is he? You’re handsome.
Simon: Thanks*smiles*
Inati: Where’s Daniel?
Lia: He just went toilet.
Youngwon: That’s why he had so many problems when we were at the coffee shop.
Lia: Why? What happened?
Inati: No. It’s actually them two. They keep on arguing.
Lia: That happening is normal to you and Daniel.
Inati: I’m afraid I would have to agree.
Lia: Why don’t you let your new friend sit beside Daniel and I’ll sit there? You should treat your new friend special. Simon? Simon, right? Don’t you want to sit here?
Simon: Err. That’s alright. I’ll just stay here.
Lia: Are you sure? It’s very squishy there.
Simon: No. It’s alright. I’m fine here.
Lia: Is he your hyung Youngwon?
Youngwon: Yeah.
Lia: How old are you Simon?
Simon: Uhhm...28
Lia: That’s a right age.
Simon: For what?
Lia: For having a girlfriend. Don’t you have a girlfriend?
Simon: No.*shakes head. I haven’t had one*
Youngwon: Really hyung?
Inati: You didn’t have one?
Lia: How can you… how can you not have one? With that face, you don’t have a girlfriend yet?
Simon: No. I haven’t.
*somebody opened the door*
Daniel: What are you guys talking about?
Lia: Just some things.
Daniel: What things?
Lia: Just don’t have interest about it Daniel.
Daniel: Alright.
Lia: I see. You had a new friend.
Daniel: Simon?
Lia: Yeah.
Daniel: What about? I thought you don’t want to talk about it?
Inati: Daniel. Just drive so we can go to your house straight away.
Youngwon: Yes.
Daniel: Alright. Alright.
Lia: Simon, you haven’t met Youngwon for how many years?
Simon: I’m not really sure.
Lia: It should be for a long time, is it? Youngwon hasn’t been to your province, if I’m right, for ages.
Simon: How did you know all that?
Lia: I sometimes interview Youngwon. He’s an interesting guy. A very interesting guy.
Inati: I agree. He has lots of explorations every day.
Simon: Aah~ He still has all of his collections in his house in the province.
Youngwon: All of them?
Simon: Yeah. Except for Hydie’s photos.
Daniel: Hydie?
Inati: Who’s Hydie?
Lia: Who is she? I’m guessing its Youngwon’s first love. If I’m right?
Simon: Yeah. She’s the girl I’m talking to you about after Beth left our province.
Youngwon: No! Hyung.
Lia: I see. That’s normal Youngwon. Don’t be afraid to tell it.
Inati: What age did Youngwon liked Hydie?
Simon: About 8? Or 7? Somewhere that age.
Daniel: Aaah~ Puppy love, I should say? *laughs
Lia: Daniel! Don’t be like that.
Daniel: I’m just kidding.
Lia: You’re not a kid.
Daniel: Lia.
Lia: Yes my baby? *laughs*
Youngwon: *laughs* Lia. That’s really funny.
Daniel: Don’t call me that. And what’s funny if a person calls someone a baby?
Lia: What if I want to?
Daniel:*sigh*
Youngwon: Almost there. Simon hyung, do you see that 2-storey house with glass windows?
Simon: *looks at the car windows* Yes?
Youngwon: That’s his house.
Simon: It’s nice.
Inati: It’s really nice. It’s refreshing in there.
Simon: Aaah~ Do you all live there?
Daniel: Yes. They all do.
Youngwon: Yes. I help Daniel every day in doing chores. So, as an exchange, he told me to live in his house.
Inati: I have my house but I don’t want to live in there. Not as refreshing as Daniel’s house.
Lia: I also live in Daniel’s house. He told me to. So, I just accepted his offer since he’s my BABY. *laughs*
Youngwon:*laughs*
Inati: *laughs*
Daniel: Lia. Please. Not again.
Lia: I’m sorry.
Daniel: We’re here. *stops and gets off the car*
Lia: Simon. Where do you live now?
Simon: I rented a house near the shop.
Lia: Rent?
Simon: Yes. I’m going back next week. On Friday.
Lia: Next week?
Inati: Why are you going home early?
Youngwon: You’re only staying here for only TWO WEEKS?
Simon: Yeah.
Youngwon: You don’t have anyone to assist in the province, right?
Simon: No one.
Youngwon: So that means that you don’t do anything in the province when you leave here.
Simon: Yes.
Lia: Come on guys. Let’s go out.
*they all got off the car*
Youngwon: This is his house. Very precious, right?
Simon. It’s really nice.
Lia: Come on Simon. I’ll be your tour guide.
Youngwon: No, Lia. I’ll be his tour guide.
Lia: Who do you want to be your tour guide Simon?
Youngwon: Hyung! Choose me!
Simon: Anyone.
Lia: Who?
Simon: Err. Just you.
Lia: See? *her phone rang* Oh! Simon-hyung! Just wait. I need answer the call first.
Inati: Don’t worry about them two. They usually compete with each other.
Simon: You’re the only one who doesn’t have a problem in here, as I noticed.
Inati: Aah~ Thanks. But I’m a really strict person.
Simon: I think that’s needed since you’re the hyung here.
Inati: Youngwon. Go follow Lia. Make sure she’s fine.
Youngwon: Ok.
Simon: Why does Youngwon still have to follow Lia? Is there something wrong?
Inati: It’s just that Lia once almost got kidnapped by this guy she neglected. It happens to him every Monday.
Simon: Monday? They have schedules on kidnapping Lia?
Inati: Yeah. I’m sure that kidnapper is a very bad kidnapper. He hasn’t even got Lia even once.
Simon: That indicates that the kidnapper is not really a kidnapper. You’re not a kidnapper even though you act like a kidnapper if all of your attempts go wrong.
___________________________________________________________________________
Lia: Simon. Let’s go.
Simon: Aaah…
Inati: Yeah. You can go now.
Lia: Sorry. It seems like you’re talking important things.
Inati: No Lia! It’s alright.
Lia: Are you sure?
Inati: Yes.
Lia: Have you seen Youngwon?
Inati: I sent him to guard you. Wasn’t he there?
Lia: I haven’t seen him. No one was with me outside.
Inati: Where is he now? I’ll call him. You two can go.
___________________________________________________________________________
Daniel: Hyung! Have you seen Youngwon?
Inati: I haven’t. I was looking for him. I’m trying to call him but no answer.
Daniel: Where has he gone?
Inati: You seem to have a problem. What’s it?
Daniel: About Annji.
Inati: Annji is in peace right now. Why are you trying to disturb it?
Daniel: That moment is unforgettable hyung.
Inati: That was a very long time ago.
Daniel: I haven’t forgotten every single minute of happening.
Inati: There are some reasons why a girl chose to break up with her love. Same as what happened to you and Annji.
Daniel: Hyung. I will be able to forget it and grant your hopes only if I can pass her the pain.
Inati: You’re not the Daniel I know. I’m talking to another Daniel right now.
Daniel: Hyung! Help me.
Inati: You don’t need help doing revenge. You need help with improving your timeline. Why are you still trying to stick on that time? Can’t you move on? Daniel. You know what? You should go and get fresh air and drink water. You didn’t hear what you said.*walked away*
Daniel: But…
*Inati looked back at Daniel and went near him*
Inati: Daniel. You know why you’re in a situation like this? It’s because you don’t know what you’re talking about. You’re a kind of person that takes risks. You don’t think the effects of what you’re doing. You don’t realise other people has more difficult situation than yours.
Daniel: *shakes head*
Inati: Daniel. All you should remember is that THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE A MORE DIFFICULT SITUATION THAN YOUR’S! It’s not just you who’s suffering. Lia, Simon, Youngwon and me, we are sometimes in a situation like yours but did one of us told you that we need to let that person who hurt us suffer also? We didn’t. Daniel. IT’S NOT ONLY YOU!! You have better roles in your life than doing this. Quit it. I can’t believe I’m talking to a very STRANGE PERSON!
Daniel: Aaah!!! *he kicked the table*
Lia: *ran as fast as she could* DANIEL! What’s wrong? *she hugged Daniel*
Inati: *shakes his head**leaves*
Lia: Daniel. What’s wrong? Is it about Annji again?
Daniel: *sigh*
Lia: Sit first while I’ll get you water.
Daniel: No. Don’t leave me. Stay by my side. I don’t want to…
Lia: Daniel. You can trust me. I will not leave a guy like you.
Daniel: *he leaned on the couch*
Lia: Here. *she handed water to Daniel* Just calm down. I’m here. Just tell me what you want. I’m not leaving you. I’ll stay with you.
Daniel: *hugged Lia*
Lia: Daniel. Please. Don’t hug me like that.
Daniel: Lia.
Lia: Yes?
Daniel: Please don…
Lia: Daniel. Is it about Annji again?
Daniel: It’s just...
Lia: Don’t give me pain Daniel.
Daniel: *drinks water*
Lia: You’re trying to get revenge to her?
Daniel: No.
Lia: Don’t try lying at me Daniel. I heard everything from your conversation.
Daniel: You don’t understand me Lia.
Lia: Yes. I really don’t understand you. I knew you want to get revenge to Annji but it’s not right. You’re hurting other’s feelings.
Daniel: She did hurt my feelings.
Lia: No. She didn’t. I know you make small problems worse.
Daniel: Why do you care so much about her?!
Lia: Because I know her more than you!! No hesitation happening if I say she’s a really caring and a nice girl.
Daniel: She’s not.
Lia: Daniel. Calm down. No more Annji from now on.
Daniel: *sigh*
Lia: Don’t sigh me. I just hate the way you always get mad at simple things. You always lose your temper at the slightest problem, always yelling for no valid reason. Sometimes I wonder why you act that way.
Daniel: You can’t easily forget that happening, would you?
Lia: I know it’s hard to forget. But it makes it harder to forget if you keep on remembering it. Sometime, I still doubt it if you love me. You just think of Annji too much.
Daniel: Lia. I love you. I don’t love anyone than you. I don’t remember Annji because I still love her. It doesn’t go that way.
Lia: Are you going to promise me no more revenge for Annji then?
Daniel: *doesn’t know what to answer*
___________________________________________________________________________
Simon: He’s calmed down now.
Inati: Yeah. Nobody can calm him down except for Lia. She’s a very nice girl. She really cares for Daniel.
Simon: Why was Daniel acting like that a while ago?
Inati: It’s because of his ex-girlfriend.
Simon: Ex-girlfriend?
Inati: Yeah. He was really upset of her. Lia needs to be careful on Daniel’s situation. The problem on Daniel is he over exaggerates small problems. He easily gets annoyed. He doesn’t want to get disturbed by anyone else. But of course, he has his good points too. He’s loyal, and he always ends up doing the right thing, somehow. That’s just him, full of contradictions. You never know what he’s going to do next.
___________________________________________________________________________
Lia: Are you alright now?
Daniel: Yeah. When I’m with you, I feel alright.
Lia: Daniel. I sense that emotion. I told you little boy. No.
Daniel: Why did you call me that?
Lia: Because you’re my baby.
Daniel: *smiled*. Lia? Please.
Lia: Please what?
Daniel: Please don’t disturb me in telling you this.
Lia: As long as….
Daniel: *he said calmly* Please. Don’t disturb me this time.
Lia: *sigh* Alright.
Daniel: Lia. I really love you.
Lia: Daniel. I love you too. All I don’t want to hear from you is when you say things to me like I’m saying good bye to you. I’m not leaving you and I will never. Don’t forget it. I mark every words I say.
Daniel: *smiles and hugs Lia*
___________________________________________________________________________
Inati: Lia is a very caring girl.
Simon: How long have been….
___________________________________________________________________________
Lia: Daniel. Daniel! Daniel!! Hey!! *she held Daniel’s face* Daniel! What happened to you? Intae-hyung!! *panics*
Inati: Oh! What happened? What’s wrong with him?!
Lia: I don’t know.*she panicked* We just talked about Annji and then he hugged me and.. And... I just felt that…….that….. he’s very heavy... and...
Inati: Lia. Calm down. Don’t panic. *he put his hand on Daniel’s forehead* He has fever. I think that’s too high. We need to bring him to his room. Simon, would you please hand me a black bag near the garage door. Open it and see if there’s a first aid kit and bring it in the room. The garage is near the entrance door.
Simon: OK. *he ran near the entrance door and looked for the door that leads to the garage* Where is that garage? *he opened a door, no. opened another door, no. opened the last door* Here. Where is the black bag? He looked beside the cabinet, Here. He opened it and got the first aid kit.
*Simon realised he wasn’t told where Daniel’s room is located*
Simon: Aaah!! This is a lot of rooms. Which one? Which one? *he ran and opened all the doors of each room* Oh! There are still 2 rooms in this floor. *he ran through the corner but he suddenly bumped someone.
*he bumped Lia*
Lia: Oh! I’m so sorry. I’m sorry Simon-hyung!
Simon: I’m sorry too.
Lia: Anyway, Daniel’s room is on the second floor. When you arrive to the top of the stairs, turn left and then turn left and you can find a room that has a wooden door. That’s his room. Go now. They’re looking for you.
Simon: Thanks.
Lia: That’s alright.
*Simon ran upstairs*
Simon: Left? There. *he ran* Left. Left. *soon, he found a room with a wooden door and opened it*
Inati: Simon. What took you so long?
Simon: I just need to find Daniel’s room. I didn’t know where it is.
Inati: Ah! I’m sorry. I didn’t tell you.
Simon: How is he doing now?
Inati: I told him to drink medicine. I don’t know what happened to him but I believe he wasn’t here last night. I don’t know where he went but it’s suspicious.
Simon: Why did that fever suddenly came? He was acting well this morning.
Inati: I have no idea as well. I guess that really what should happen.
Simon: It was raining the whole day. How could he go out?
Inati: Maybe, he went to the park.
Simon: Park?
Inati: Yes. The park where him an Annji first met.
Simon: Annji?
Inati: Yes. His ex-girlfriend.
Simon: Does he really love Lia?
Inati: That is indeed a very big question. I don’t know about Daniel. He keeps on remembering Annji even though Lia is beside him.
Simon: Maybe he just wants to really get revenge to Annji. But I think it’s not a good idea since Lia will also be hurt by that.
Inati: You got a point.
Simon: I guess we should leave him to relax.
Inati: Yes. Good idea. I’ll just let Lia come here to assist Daniel.
Simon: I’ll call her.
Inati: Thanks. I’ll just pack this up.
*Simon went down and called Lia.
Lia: How’s Daniel?
Simon: He’s alright. He just needs rest.
Lia: It’s Annji. He’s having a problem on Annji again. He really wants to get revenge to her. I said no and then it seems like he didn’t promise me not to get revenge at Annji.
Simon: Does Daniel needs revenge that badly?
Lia: I don’t know. All he said to me is that they broke up. He told me all what happened either me can’t find any problems in their relationship. But I have a more important thing to say to you hyung. I’m telling you something that nobody else knows except me.
Simon: Are you sure I’m the right person to tell it to first?
Lia: Yes. You’re a trusted person.
Simon: How about Inati?
Lia: I’m not really sure about that but can I tell you this very important thing?
Simon: Err. Of course. Yes.
Lia: I’m going to have a vacation on Jeju Island with my friends. It’s going to be tomorrow. I’ll be staying there for 3 days. Just 3 days. Would you please do me a favour?
Simon: Yes. But does that mean you’re leaving Daniel in this situation?
Lia: I’m not really sure about it but I think it’s more important to go with my friends. It’s not just a simple vacation but we are also having some meeting with important visitors. It’s in relation with the bar I’m working in.
Simon: Aah~ I see. That’s important but what would you tell to Daniel?
Lia: That’s the favour I’m asking you. I need you to make an excuse for me not staying with him. Don’t tell him that I went to Jeju Island with my friends because he doesn’t allow me to go with my friends.
Simon: But in the situation like this, I’m sure he will find you. He would blame me if I don’t tell him where you went.
Lia: Please. It’s about my work. I don’t want to start as a normal worker again. I want Daniel to say to his friends a good thing about his girlfriend.
Simon: How about you tell it to Inati?
Lia: He won’t allow me either.
Simon: But what if they ask me where you went? I know that I need to make an excuse but what if they notice me that I’m just lying?
Lia: I guess you’re not a good friend.*turns back and walk
*Simon held his hand
Simon: Ok. I’ll make an excuse but…
Lia: Thanks.
___________________________________________________________________________
Daniel: Inati-hyung. Where’s Lia?
Inati: She’s downstairs.
Daniel: Please call her.
Inati: I sent Simon to call her.
___________________________________________________________________________
Simon: Ah! Inati-hyung told me to call you.
Lia: Alright.
___________________________________________________________________________
*Lia opened the door*
Daniel: Lia.
Lia: Yes?
*Lia whispered to Inati* can u please go out? I just need to talk to him.
___________________________________________________________________________
Simon: Daniel couldn’t really live without Lia.
Inati: Yeah. He found out that Lia’s very caring on him that’s why he treats Lia really good.
Simon: So, if there’s no Lia in his life, even in one day, and Daniel gets angry, nobody could calm him down because Lia isn’t here.
Inati: I’m afraid yes.
___________________________________________________________________________
Lia: Daniel.
Daniel: Yes?
Lia: I... have something to say to you.

Lia: Simon-hyung.
Simon: I heard you two.
Lia: I was just trying to explain to him that I need to go to Jeju Island but before I could explain, he just started telling me like I’m Annji.
Simon: His situation isn’t going well today. But didn’t you tell me earlier that I will be the one to make an excuse. Why did you do that?
Lia: It’s just so hard. I don’t want to lie to him. I can’t imagine myself lying to him.
Simon: We can’t do anything to that.
Lia: Within the whole life of our relationship, we haven’t been to a fight like this. It’s just unusual.
Simon: Better go back and tell him the real happening why you’re leaving.
Lia: I think I should just risk my job and just stay here to…
*Lia’s phone is ringing*
Lia: *wipes tears* Hello?
Girl in the phone: Mom. Mom’s in hospital. She got a heart attack this morning. I’m so sorry I didn’t tell it to you earlier.
Lia: Why do I have so many problems this day? I didn’t start the day with a bad-mood.*cries*
Simon: What happened? What’s wrong?
Lia: My mom’s in hospital. She got a heart-attack.
Simon: You better go to your mom and assist her.
Lia: But what about Daniel? No one will take care of him.
Simon: We will. Don’t worry. I’ll explain it to him.
Lia: Thank you Simon-hyung. I’ll just pack up my things and go.
Simon: Do you need help?
Lia: No. No. It’s alright.

Youngwon: *pants* Hyung! It was so tiring.
Inati: Where have you been? We were looking for you.
Youngwon: I just went to visit my friend. She called me. She’s alone in her house so I have to go shopping with her. I just went with her because she’s my best friend.
Inati: Is that so? Why are you panting then? Did you run?
Youngwon: Yes. It’s raining outside. I didn’t know it would rain because the sun is shining.
Inati: Weather today…
Simon: Inati-hyung! Lia is going.
Inati: Why? What happened?* ran to Simon* But I heard that Lia was screaming at Daniel. Did they fight?
Youngwon: Lia and Daniel fighting?
Simon: Oh! Youngwon. You’re here.
Youngwon: Ah yeah. Just went to see my girlfriend.
Simon: Girlfriend?! I didn’t know you had a girlfriend.
Youngwon: Ah hyung! No. A friend who’s a girl.
Simon: Ahh. Was that a trick?
Youngwon: No hyung.*laughs*
Simon: She told me that they were fighting.
Inati: Why?
Simon: She was trying to explain to Daniel that she’s going to Jeju Island but before Lia said a word, Daniel started to tell Lia that she’s like Annji.
Inati: Why is Lia going to Jeju Island?
Simon: She told me it’s in relation with her business. The bar. But she’s not going anymore. She had to risk her job because of Daniel.
Inati: She’s really nice.
Youngwon: When will she come back?
Simon: I’m not really sure.
Inati: Where is she going?
Simon: I don’t know.
Inati: Where is she?
Simon: She said she’ll pack up and go.
Inati: I need to talk to her. I’ll go to Daniel’s room.
Simon: Daniel’s room?
Youngwon: Lia sleeps with Daniel.
Simon: Does she? But how can Lia go to Daniel’s room since they were fighting a while ago?
Youngwon: Yeah! Intae-hyung! Maybe Lia isn’t in their room.
Inati: You got a point. But I’ll just see. I’ll call Lia if she’s there. You two just stay here.
Youngwon: Ok. Let’s sit while we wait for them hyung!
Simon: Ok.
