After the war ended, everything was going smoothly. Da Eun's business made a huge success; her company made perfumes and cosmetics (xyz company), even people from different countries bought and soon it became a luxury brand. Her parents weren't happy for it. They didn't wanted her to major in Chemistry but wanted her to study Biology so she took both but they still weren't happy with her, they even wanted her to manage her father's company as the one and only child but Da Eun didn't agree.
As time went by, her cousin became her best friend, Nabi. She was two years younger than her, they had there likes and dislikes but trusted and cared for each other; even though both of their parents didn't like each other even though they shared the same blood, of course their parents were never agreed for the both of them to move in together but they didn't cared and never left each others sides. As Da Eun grew up some more, she became very cold to others and ignored them as much as she could, her nickname became 'The bitch with a heart made of stone' even at work; she knows what people talk about her, she shows that she is ok as she has no feelings but... when she reaches home, she cries the whole time she is in the shower, trying not to cry loudly even if she wants to, trying not to cry and making her throat ache in the effort.
Once Da Eun got a day off of work so she planned on eating dinner out with Nabi. When they went out in the evening, Nabi brought up, "Are you really not gonna do the surgery?"
"No, I'm not"
"Why? Is it because you are scared to? I'll be there you know that right?"
"No, am I even scared of anything?"
"But..."
"Now. We came here to eat, right? We will talk about it some other some time. Ok?"
"Ok"
"Oh!!" Nabi exclaimed, "You remember Yeo Joon, Right?"
"Is it your boyfriend?"
"No! He was YOUR boyfriend."
"Pffft! I remember all my exes but I never had a boyfriend, named Yeo Joon. I think you are mistaken."
"Wait. You seriously don't remember him?! How? When we were young, he was the one you always talked about?! How could you not remember him?!!"
Da Eun answered with a deep sigh, she was short-tempered and Nabi was talking something she didn't understand so she snapped, "Who THE FVCK are you talking about right now? We came here to eat and have a nice time together, not to bring up a stranger I don't even know about. It must be because of 'It'. Remember?"
"But HE was the main character of your life? You didn't forget ME even if we didn't meet each other for 15 years before?!"
Da Eun didn't answer and got up paying the bill and said, "Come after you finish eating." and went away. She didn't like it when Nabi was saying things when she told her to stop talking and got irritated and couldn't test her patience. Later when they reached home, they didn't talk even a word finally Nabi asked, "Did you eat your meds?"
"No."
"Eat it now then."
"Let me die even MORE earlier." And again they didn't talk to each other. It became morning and Da Eun went to work. When she was working, she had a very serious head ache. She felt that she fell on the ground and all she could see was blur and mumbling and soon closed her eyes.
