One Year Later:
Kieran held the woman in his arms carefully as they danced a set. He found it hard to believe that the girl in his arms had been hos girlfriend for more than a year. After her initial rejections of him and his plans, he had finally had her agree to become his girlfriend. They had already met each other's parents and he was eager for them to take the next step. But he was not too sure of her answer. And the reason for that was her best friend.
Over time, Zirui and Gyeom's friendship was something that he had come to accept rather unwillingly. In the initial days of their relationship, Zirui would spend a long time, chatting back and forth with the man. Even when they had just finished making love and the guy called, she would stop cuddling and speak to the man. But over time, he had observed that she had distanced herself from him.
