Park Chorong pressed gently over the younger's and used her tongue to push pass Bomi's sealed lips. In the span of a heartbeat, the older girl had successfully eased the tablets into Bomi's throat. She was certain the medication had been washed down by the water yet Chorong found it hard to pull away. For some reason she liked the feeling of Bomi's lips on her own.

Bomi's lips were warm and soft and the way her heated breath blew onto her face made Chorong's heart thump wildly. At the age of 25 in Korean standards, Chorong definitely had past experiences in kissing. However she never felt this way before. She never froze, afraid that merely shifting an inch would break the wonderful atmosphere.

When she had finally detached herself from Bomi, Chorong took the time to slowly observe her fellow member. Tracing her finger against Bomi's hairline, Chorong let her line of sight fall from Bomi's forehead to her closed eyes,down her high nose and lastly stop at those tender lips. Bomi was beautiful, both inside and out. Chorong remembered how Bomi had stayed by her side throughout their years as trainees and again when they debuted as Apink.

Now that she thought about it, Bomi was the one person besides her family whom she had spent the most of her life with. It was Bomi who comforted her whenever she was stressed out by the duties as the group's leader. She would quietly speak to the rest in order to ease her burden. It was Bomi who went all out to cheer her up with silly actions. Ever considerate to her needs, Bomi would wake up early to prepare nutritious meals for her when she was ill and stay behind after practice to help her in singing and dancing instead of returning to their dorm to rest.    

It was still Bomi who showered her with hugs and coaxed her into eating when she was first dumped by Suho. She recalled how she lost all appetite and her weight plunged to rock bottom. She even fainted a couple of times from the lack of food and her depressed state. Yoon Bomi was a big part of her life, more essential than any one else. Without realizing it, tears started to flow freely from her eyes. Not bothering to wipe them away, Chorong began trembling, a wave of emotions hitting her hard and fast. How could she have behaved so cruelly to someone who had treated her so kindly? Resting her head on Bomi's chest, Chorong wrapped both arms around her torso and cried her heart out.

"I'm sorry...I'm so sorry..."
