" L.Joe.. Please stop.. " I raised my arms and blocked my swollen and bleeding cheeks.

" WHO THE IS HE?!?!?!?! " L.Joe screamed.

" H-he's my childhood friend.. I-i-i just met him on the way back.. " I explained.

" Childhood friend???? Bull! your having an affair!! " He claimed.

He doesn't even believe what i say so whats the point? 

L.Joe sighed loudly and stared at me.'

As for Changjo he left to avoid HaEun seeing him. 

But inside, he carved deeply that he will protect her.

Forever.

" Ringg.. Ring.. " L.Joe's phone rang.

He walked over and slide it. 

" Hello? " 

" Ah, TaeJin!! Sure, im super free now. " 

I pinched my thighs.

You can't cry now Lee HaEun. Not infront of him. Not now Lee HaEun. 

L.Joe hanged up his phone and glared at me one last time.

Once he banged the door shut, tears flowed down naturally.

I know he dont love me anymore.

But he still stands the huge portion in my life other than ByungNam.

I knew i lost him a long time ago.

But everyday, i cling and hold onto this family.

i cant lose him.

But there' isnt a day where i can assure that my heart could hold on. 

I might eventually leave.

Byungnam ran down from the stairs and carrased my cheeks.

" umma.. Does it hurt? " He was crying.

" aniyo. it doesn't. " I forced a smile even though it hurts.

But my heart hurts even more..

Tonight, i know he isn;t coming back. But still i waited.

1am..

2am..

3am..

4am..

5.30am..

He's finally back.

But drunk again. 

He walked up to me and there were a mixture of alcohol and perfume smell.

It was easy to guess where he was right? 

He took of his jacket and went upstairs.

Suprisingly, he didn't
