"How is he doing?" Kiaraa asked him about Ian.
"He is fine, but he wishes for you to hang out with him like how you used to instead of avoiding him using the excuse of your studies" Song Ji Hwan said making Kiaraa feel a bit guilty as she intentionally avoids Ian a lot these days.
"Since he proposed, I realized how deeply he loves me and it makes me feel guilty that I can't reciprocate his feelings." Kiaraa informed Hwan of her dilemma.
"So, you'd rather avoid him?" Song Ji Hwan questioned her.
"Well…"
"I understand you need some time but don't push him away like this" Song Ji Hwan sincerely advised her.
Keeping aside the fact that he is rooting for Song Ji Hun and Kiaraa, Hwan was close friends with Ian and Kiaraa since his childhood. These trio were very close and had a lot of fun moments in their life. He would never want their friendship to ever fall apart.
