Min Jae's apartment, living room.
Min Jae, Yu Ra and Shi Yoon were sitting facing each other in the living room. Min Jae and Yu Ra were sitting next to each other and Shi Yoon sat in front of them. Yu Ra was tightly holding Min Jae's arm and Min Jae can be seen uncomfortable with that. Usually, Min Jae was happy if Yu Ra held his arm like that but the situation made him totally uncomfortable. Shi Yoon, on the other hand looking at them amusedly.
"Have you all calm down?" said Sang Min, Min Jae's housemates who came back earlier and he was the one who stopped the 'bloody' fights between the three of them. He came to them holding a tray with orange juice. He served the three of them the orange juice and sat together with them in case other fights happened.
"Yu Ra, you can let go of my arm now," said Min Jae.
"And then what? You will go to her and hug her?" said Yu Ra sarcastically while glaring at Min Jae.
"Please don't get mad again. We already clear everything, okay," said Min Jae trying to persuade Yu Ra.
Shi Yoon was looking at them and she started laughing, "Pfft, Hahaha, you guys are so funny. This is so much fun," said Shi Yoon. Min Jae and Yu Ra both glare at Shi Yoon.
Looking at the situation that might turned sour in any minute, Sang Min changing the subject, "What are you going to do now, Shi Yoon ssi? I agree with Min Jae that we can't let you sleep here. You need to find someplace else," said Sang Min.
"Can't you help me? I don't have any money with me right now," said Shi Yoon.
"You think anyone will help someone they never know before?" said Yu Ra. "You even cause the problem just now and you expect people to help you?" said Yu Ra again.
"It seems fun, that is why I did that. No need to get mad at me again. I don't even like Min Jae," said Shi Yoon.
"I do want to help you however everyone here are students. We don't have any money to lend to you," said Sang Min.
"Yu Ra ssi~ can I live with you?" asked Shi Yoon while smiling.
"I live in dorm and even if I am not living in the dorm, I don't want to live with you with the stunt you just pulled earlier," said Yu Ra.
"You should go home. Being impatient will get you nowhere. Finish your studies and do what you want after that just like what your parents say," said Min Jae.
"W-w-well, even if I want to finish my studies, it will be impossible to do that. I was expelled," said Shi Yoon. Min Jae, Yu Ra and Sang Min just stared blankly at Shi Yoon. "Hmm~ why you guys not surprise with what I just told you?" asked Shi Yoon.
"We somehow guess it," said Min Jae. "It can happen to a spoiled child."
"I am not spoiled. My family might be rich but they never spoiled me. I need to reach my dream before I get back so that my family won't kill me especially my brother. You don't even know how scary my brother is," said Shi Yoon with a worried face.
"If you go back home and tell them properly, I'm sure you will be fine. By the way, how did you get expelled? Bad grades?" asked Sang Min.
"Urm~ that's a secret," said Shi Yoon.
"She skipped class too much," said Yu Ra bluntly. "I know people with the same type as her."
"Hahaha," Shi Yoon dryly laughed.
"You reap what you sow," said Min Jae. After he said that, Min Jae seem to be thinking of something.
"There is someone I know who will surely help you," said Min Jae.
"Really? Who?" asked Shi Yoon excitedly.
"… I don't want to ask her for help… but you seem to really need it," said Min Jae with an angry face. Sang Min and Yu Ra seems to guess who Min Jae meant. Shi Yoon can also feel that the atmosphere around them changed. Yu Ra silently removes her hand from holding Min Jae's arm. Shi Yoon stood up and went to his room.
"Umm~ why is he so angry? If it was someone he dislikes, he doesn't have to do this," asked Shi Yoon.
"Well, we don't actually know the story but he is angry because he loves her too much," said Sang Min. When Shi Yoon heard what Sang Min said she looked at Yu Ra. She thought maybe that person was Min Jae's ex-girlfriend but Yu Ra seemed fine.
'Must be his family' thought Shi Yoon. 'Love and hate is common between family'
Inside Min Jae's room, he sat on his bed but stared at his phone. He was staring at a phone number. He wanted to call the number but he hesitated. His thumb wanted to press the number but he pulled it back. After about 10 minutes of hesitation, Min Jae called that number.
Mi Rae's home.
Mi Rae sat in front of her laptop typing something and her phone vibrates. Someone called her. She put her phone in vibrate because she needs to concentrate. She looked at her phone and she smiled.
"Hello? Why suddenly you call me?" asked Mi Rae with her sweet voice.
"You don't want me to call you? Fine, I will hang up," said the man who called her.
"W-W-wait Shi Hoon ssi don't hang up, I am just joking," said Mi Rae. It was Shi Hoon who called her. After their first dates, they have been calling each other every day.
"I decide to take a 5-minute rest so that is why I call you," said Shi Hoon.
"You should take a simple nap then. You should take real rest than calling me," said Mi Rae worried that Shi Hoon did not get enough rest.
"Hearing your voice is resting to me," said Shi Hoon with soft voice.
Mi Rae's face turned red, "That was too cheesy. I did not know you can say something like that," said Mi Rae.
"I used to date other girls too before, so I know one or two of this kind of thing but you are the first one I try saying this," said Shi Hoon.
"How many girls you date before? They won't suddenly appear and said 'I am pregnant with your baby' or trying to drug me or hit me with their car or made you drunk and call me and let me see that you both sleep with each other, right?" asked Mi Rae.
"I don't think that kind of thing will happen. They all know how scary I am and I kind of gave them a taste of my ruthlessness when we broke up," said Shi Hoon.
"Taste of ruthlessness… Are you really that kind of person? You are so nice to me," said Mi Rae.
"Are you an airhead or are you too nice? I take hostage of your notebook, I threaten you, I even torture you a bit at that café and you said I am a nice person," said Shi Hoon.
"You not really threaten me though. You gave me choices and I chose to become your girlfriend. Taking hostage of my notebook… I think you did the right thing. I need to let go of my past, having that notebook near me will make it harder for me to move on. Torture me at that café… I am not sure what you did. I am really anxious that time but that is all. Is that really a torture?" said Mi Rae.
"So, you are the latter. Hmm~ I need to train you a bit to not be too nice. When I am not busy anymore, I will train you to lose a bit of that kindness," said Shi Hoon.
"Hahaha, what is wrong being a nice person?" said Mi Rae.
"You can't survive in this day and age with being nice," said Shi Hoon.
"You are wrong. I can and I am still ok even to this day," said Mi Rae confidently.
"Don't be too confident," said Shi Hoon.
"Well~ if something happens to me, you will save me, right?" asked Mi Rae.
"Who knows? We are not at that level yet," said Shi Hoon.
"I will come and save you if something bad happen to you because I am too nice," said Mi Rae again with confidence and smile
"… The way you said it…" Shi Hoon stopped before he finished his sentence.
"What?" asked Mi Rae.
"Nothing… Well I think we talk too much. I will call you again tonight," said Shi Hoon.
"Okay, bye," said Mi Rae. Shi Hoon then ended the call.
"I wonder what he wants to say," said Mi Rae. She wanted to continue with what she was doing before but another called came. Mi Rae looked at her phone and she was shocked.
"Hello?" Mi Rae answered the call.
