They were inside the silent car, both of their face were facing the road or lights in front of them.

“Hyerima”

“hum?” she turned her head to him.

“can you stop this?”

She was startled to hear his sentence.

“what do you mean?”

He couldn’t see her eyes, but it felt like he was looking straight to her eyes.

“please, stop caring about him, taking care of his whole life-“

He hadn’t finished his sentence

“what do you mean? are you talking about Kevin”

He said nothing.

“what do you mean im taking care of his whole life?”

He slightly moved his head,

“i know, both of you were together ever since us, but, please, now you’re different-“

She kept her head down for a while

“what the difference? I can’t feel any.”

She didn’t know why should she increase her voice.

“hyerima,  you’re not the former hyerim who always on his side anymore”

“huh? What do you mean?”

“most of the students in our class know you are his only bestfriend, you two just like-“

He hadn’t finished his sentence when she had her back straight.

“stop that, i don’t want to hear any, except-“ she didn’t know why should she angry to him.

“now you’re not only holding your own life with you, you have mine in it”

He paused while she was trying to understand his every word in the middle of her thought.

“you know that, but why you keep acting like you don’t know. You keep hurting that part of you”

“i...” the tears were about to run down her cheek

“every moves you made your self getting closer to him, it’s like you were throwing me away to the fire”

He paused, the car turned right

“you always care about him, but never me. you keep thinking about him, but i don’t know if i may the part of it-“

“how can you feel that?” she was about to cry, but tried not to.

“me? i think i’ve said to you that i’d given my life to you, im a part of you, its just you who really don’t care-“

“you! How could you say that? are you doubting me?” now she couldn’t hold the tears  any longer.

“i’m not, but it may be you who-“

“you know that he is my bestfriend ever before we met, he was by my side all along before you came, then, now, you want me to throw that all away, huh?”

“i...”

“don’t you know what do people call this, i’m jealous, i love you, that’s why i can’t see you by his side like this-“ he was increasing his voice.

“i know that.”

They were paused

“stop the car,”

“huh?”

“let me out here”

“what? How could i-“

“it’s okay, i just want to be alone”

“your house is still-“

“i don’t care, i just want to-“

“okay, i know, even you don’t care about your own life compared to him, so, why should mine?”

The car was stopped frankly in front of a store.

She was out  at the street, the car was frankly speeded up.

She was walking through until reach her house.

She wiped her tears before opened the door

“i’m home”

“noona!” suddenly he stopped, “noona, why are you this pale?”

A guy was rushing from behind the wall

“Hyerima? What’s going on?”

She could see kevin stood right next to Dongho, his eyes now were totally shining, not like the last time she saw it.

“nothing, i, just,  abit tired”

“no, you’re not! You were crying, huh?” Dongho suddenly stared at her eyes

“im not, i’ve told you, im just a bit tired”

“is it because of him?” kevin was holding her shoulder when Dongho was rushing into the kitchen.

“no. He’s okay”

“is it because of me?” he was totally worried

“no. Why you asked that, you’re not even there?”

“tell me the truth hyerima, what he did to make you like this?”

“i’ve told you, that’s none of your bussiness, it’s just the ordinary-“

She hadn’t finished her sentence when Dongho was rushing back with a bowl full of ices.

“noona, sit here, your feet need to be iced”

She was sitting in the couch with his feet was iced,she never saw Dongho could be this mature.

“is it because of that ices you game me in the cafetaria?”

“i said it’s none of your bussiness”

Dongho suddenly poked him, he said nothing after that.

“noona, is this comfort you?”

“yes, thank you, you’re really grown up now. I can’t even remember the last time you were crying for a candy”

“i never cried for a candy, noona”

He smiled,followed by her. Kevin was still looking at her .

Minutes had passed when suddenly the bell rang

“who’s that?”

Dongho looked at the screen next to the door.

“it was him”

Kevin directly stood on his feet and was about to the door when she grabbed his arm and pledged him to stay.

She opened the door and found him there, stood up, motionless,

“Hyerima...”

“don’t say any sorry, i’m okay.”

Dongho who peeked from behind the wall was about to went out.

He suddenly hugged her tightly, kissed her top.

“i don’t want to say any sorry,  i just want to-“

He was paused, had her body straight and looked straight into her eyes.

They were getting even much closer,

“i just want to check whether you’re okay or-“

Their lips meet, he hugged her even more tight.

Dongho could only see his back from behind the wall.

“i’m sorry”

She murmured the words between their lips.

“i know that you can’t leave him, but we can find a way for us to go through this”

“thanks”

A pair of eyes were watching the scene from behind the window.
