 “Have a seat.” Yasou said and pull a chair for her.

 “Thanks, Oppa. Sorry I’m late.”

 “Thank you for coming after short notice.” Yasou father said. Cherie just smile and they have their lunch in perfect harmony with Yasou childhood story. Cherie happy to see Yasou parent is such a warm person. She can see how much they love Yasou.

 “How Cherie when she still small?” Ask Yasou mother.

 “Oh, she like to play with instrument since she was a child. Very obedient child, I don’t have many problem with her.” Robert tell them half lies.

 “I heard from Yasou, Cherie study in New York since she’s 8 years old?”

  “Yes.” Answer Robert short.

 “I stay with my aunty over there and very happy with my life. I involve in sings and dance there.”

 “both of you like music so much, huh?” Ask Yasou father.

 “I guess that make we understand each other very well.” Yasou said. Cherie just smile.

 “From what I saw, I guess no need for us to keep you both wait any longer. We decide we don’t want you guys to engage, just straight for marriage.” Yasou father said again.

 “Don’t you think it too soon? We still need time to know each other.” Yasou said.

 “ You still can know each other after married. Don’t you think so, Cherie?”

 “I guess so.” Cherie don’t know how to answer them. She just smile but in her heart she want to cry. 

 “What are you waiting for? Go take Cherie for a date while we discuss your wedding date? There is plenty to do after this.” Yasou mother said. Yasou stand and extend his hand for Cherie. Cherie take it with smile. 

 “Where we want to go?” Ask Cherie. 

 “I need to talk with you.” Yasou said.

 “Sure.” Both of them walks in silent until they arrive at nearest park. 

 “Cherie, I want to know about your opinion in this marriage. Are you really want to do this?”

 “Yes.”

 “Stop lying to me, please. I know your answer from your eyes. I know you don’t love me and you love Yang Seungho.”

 “Oppa, how do you know?”

 “I heard your conversation with Steven that night. I know you sick but why…..?”

 “Oppa, I’m sorry. I don’t means to lies to you but…….”

 “you want to used me to make Seungho keep away from you? Don’t you think it’s so cruel for me and Seungho?”

  “I don’t means it like that. Yes, I want Seungho to keep away from me but …..”

 “Cherie-ah, I already told you I do love you so much and I don’t care your past but come clean to me. I don’t mind you use me but please tell me.”

 “Oppa, If I don’t love Seungho and I meet you first before him, I think I will fall for you. You’re very kind and nice to me. Even though I still love Seungho but I wish I could love you….”

 “But you can’t and you can’t lie to me.”

 “I let you decide what best for us. I owe you one.” Cherie said with smile. She more calm now. 

 “You owe me nothing.”

 “Yes, I do. You help me in my show.”

 “That’s just a favor. If I take it will you tell me everything. I want us to start our life without any secret.”

 “ What you want to know?” 

 “Everything, Start with…….”

 Cherie calmly tell everything what Yasou want to know. Now she has Steven, Ara , G.O and Yasou who know her secret but only Yasou know from A to Z and he will help Cherie with everything she need. 

 After they talks, Yasou feel burden with this secret but he know he need to do something now. They walk back to restaurant to meet with their parent. They already choose a date for their wedding, a months from now. Cherie just nod and smile but heavy for her to take it. 

 Back in Z club, Cherie and Z keep discuss their plan together with all that involve. Indy and Eien can see how tired is Cherie but they don’t want to ask her why. Cherie keep ask Eien to come back. Until one day, Cherie faint while they practice their routine. They rush take Cherie to hospital. Lucky Ara is on duty. 

 Cherie is weaker now and Ara just told her friend that Cherie over tired and need plenty of rest. Cherie rest at hospital for couple of days and she’s stop Indy or Eien to tell Seungho. She also told them do not border Seungho about her. Between them is nothing just a friend. 

 Day after day, Cherie spends her time more in the studio to practice than at home. Even Yasou and G.O can’t stop her. 

 “Cherie, I already call wedding dress boutique. Can you come around 2 today to try a dress?” Ask Yasou mother over phone.

 “Sure.”

 “Yasou will meet you there.”

 “Ok.” 

 Yasou call Indy and Eien to meet with him at café. He want to plan something. He know he need them to make Cherie change her mind about this wedding. She want Cherie confess her feeling at Seungho.

 “Can you help me to call Seungho?” Ask Yasou.

 “Wae?”

 “Today Cherie will try her wedding dress. I want she realize this is not right. I want she confess her feeling to Seungho.”

 “you knew?”

 “I knew better than you girls.”

 “Ok. I’m on this plan.”

 “Me too.”

Yasou give her SMS telling her that he will late a bit and ask her to carry on. He will come later after finish recording. 

 Cherie get in to choose a dress and put it on. While she change to the wedding dress, Seungho walk in the shop and seat. Yasou already call the shop that Seungho is his friend so, they will take Seungho to where Cherie is.

 Cherie look at herself in the mirror and feel sad. She will married someone she don’t love but wear beautiful wedding dress. 

 “Are you ready, miss?” Ask that shop helper.
