The next day, Aeri woke up and she sleepily walked to the bathroom. She stood in front of the mirror and rub her eyes. She then blinks, she stare at the mirror for a while before taking her toothbrush to brush her teeth. After brushing her teeth she wash her face and then she went back to her room.

When she was walking to her room “Aeri? Don’t you have class today?” her mom asked

“I’m not going” she then walk back to the room

She sat down on her bed and look towards the side table. Her phone was there, she just yawned and look away from it. She stood up again when suddenly her mom pops in.

“Dear you can’t do that”

She then lay back down on the bed and sighs “ah eomma”

“Jung Aeri, it is 3 pm” her mom rubs her temple

She then stood back up again “okay, I’ll go okay?”

She stood up and went to her wardrobe. She took out a baseball jacket and her furry pink winter shoes. She took her phone on the side table and also her handbag.

“dear you are still wearing your-“ the bedroom door slams

“night dress…”

She took a taxi to Myeongdong. She have no idea why she said myeongdong to the taxi driver but she felt it inside that she need to go there. She want to see him for the last time if she want to get serious with Hyuk.

She arrived at Myeongdong. She walked for awhile and then she was in front of the ACE entrance door.

“Hey” someone said

She turn to her side “Hongbin-ssi?”

Hongbin smiled “You remember” he laughs

“so what are you doing here again?” Hongbin asked

Aeri smiled “Nah I just well… bored”

Hongbin then just smile at her and chuckles “You love weird fashion huh?”

She look down at herself “ah well yeah” she hook a strand of her hair behind her ear

“umm can I treat you a drink?” Hongbin offered to her

Aeri then look at her wrist watch “but it’s just 7 pm, it’s not open yet”

Hongbin smirked “my family own this place” he then walked in the entrance and Aeri just stand there shocked

They went backstage to Hongbin’s very own office in the club. He got his own small bars inside his office and very comfortable seats. They both enjoyed the time together they were having. Small conversation, sharing drinks and eventually they both got a bit drunk together.

It was then 9.30 which the time the performers would come and getting ready for the club to open. They both were lost in their own world that they didn’t check the clock. They were having so much fun until,

“I didn’t know you were the same age as me” Hongbin laughed

Aeri just shrugged “Do I look old?”

“Nope you look underage” He laughs harder

“oh well you look like a grandpa” she sticks out her tongue

Hongbin smirked “well at least I grew up but you still a little kid” Hongbin teased

She then throw a light slap at his arm, and Hongbin imitate how weak she was. She then stood up and messed up his hair making him look dirty and uncool. She accidently fall a bit because of the chair and her hands was on Hongbin’s shoulder. Then suddenly,

“hongbin im getting ready-“ Ravi entered the room

Aeri and Hongbin turned to the door,

Hongbin smiled not realising Ravi’s angry face “hey Ravi!”

Ravi walked to them and grabbed Aeri’s hand. Aeri cried in pain because it was so suddenly. He threw her hands away and sigh loudly. Hongbin then quickly stood between them.

“hey what’s wrong man” Hongbin try to calm him down

Ravi turn back his gaze to Aeri “So this is what you’ve been doing!” he raised his voice

Aeri froze at her spot not moving at all. Her mind went blank. Her eyes fixed to Ravi’s face like there was a magical spell put on her at that moment.

“I should have known that you were a bloody e!” Ravi pointed to her

Hongbin pushed Ravi slightly “What are you saying, Ravi?!” the calm and cheerful Hongbin turned really red after hearing the word e on Aeri

Her tears roll down to her cheeks, she felt violated. She felt insecure.

“Hongbin, you should never meet this woman! She’s a who only will just cheated on you someday!” He then turn his back on Hongbin

“She’s not my-“ Ravi walked out of the room,

Hongbin turn back to Aeri “You okay?”

Even before he could ask again she ran out of the room

She was finding for Ravi. There wasn’t many people backstage but still she can’t find him. It’s his silhouette; his picture all vanished from her memories.

She then saw this familiar guy walking towards the exit. Before she could even chase after him she got a call, she took out her phone from her pocket and answered.

“Ravi?!” she said

That was the only thing in her head at the time

But no it was hyuk “Ravi”

She stop running “h-hyuk” she stuttered

“well it’s a good time anyway, and I’ve made up my mind” Hyuk replied to her

She didn’t want to hear it, she can predict what he’s going to say

“Let’s break up” he ended the call

Her heart was torn to pieces. She couldn’t handle what’s happening to her at the time. She can’t handle the stress. She feels like she could be crazy from all that was happening in one day. She threw the phone into the dustbin and try to catch up with Ravi.

She got out of the building but no sight of Ravi, she looked around her. She can’t see him. Her visions are getting blurry.

But then she heard his voice

“Taxi!”

He was across the road. She took out something from the pocket of her night dress and just ran across without thinking.

“Ravi!” she shouted

Ravi heard her and saw her. He wanted to turn away, suddenly

CRASHH

almost to the end
