Byunghun’s POV

                After Channie left, I fell into a deep thought. Minji was my fiancée but it was our parents who decided it. They were business partners. It was normal for business partners to arrange a marriage for their kids so the connection would be stronger.

I went to the toilet but he wasn’t there. I quickly went to the tree we usually hang out. I saw him with Niel, he was sitting there. His arms were hugging his legs close to his chest and he put his head on top of his knee. And Niel was patting his back to make him felt better.
