'What? 'What are you talking about?'
Ji Ah swung around and kept quiet for some time. Haeun didn't rephrase her query since she knew the context. After some time, Ji Ah told Haeun that today is the reunion. Her classmates will congregate at Mingles restaurant.
Should I let them know you can't make it? Ji Ah queried.
'No, today I want to go. I'll pick out a dress for you, and I'll do your makeup, so let's head to my room.'
Ji Ah smiled as she saw that Haeun wants to console her and informed her
You don't have to do that for me, Haeun. I don't want to go there either. The last time I went alone, people began chatting about you.
But, Do-Yun will be present. I want to go there and meet him. I need to speak with him and find out whether he's allowed to date my sole childhood friend. Haeun has always had a particular goal in mind.
'But…'
Ji Ah was ready to continue the argument, but Haeun stopped her by putting her finger on Ji Ah's face.
"We're going, and I'm going to make you even more gorgeous." Please!!!' Haeun asked for her.

[In the gathering, Mingles resturant]
"Oh Look! Look who's here!" Haeun, our Haeun, Yu Jun sounds like he's heralding her coming. Yu Jun, one of her classmates, had a crush on her as well. He works as a software engineer now and is dating someone.
Give it a break, Yu Jun. You are dating someone. Dating Haeun is beyond you, you're too drunk, just get over her.
Woh Shik stopped him.
'Are you still attempting to represent our class, Woh Shik?' Yu Jun began to argue with him.
Yu Jun, cut it out. She may be the most attractive girl in our school and friend group but act maturely. Let it go. Numerous men who are more qualified than you were turned down by her. Woh Shik attempted to end the conversation, but the opposite happened.
'What do you mean by she is the most beautiful? Yes, she is second, our princess Ha Rin is the most beautiful. She is the beauty contest winner. A different debate was initiated by Yun Seo.
In the past, there have been two distinct fan clubs at their school. One is for our Haeun, and the other is for Ha Rin. Fanboys from the Haeun fan club disagree with Ha Rin's victory in the miss beauty contest. They contend,
"Ha Ri won because Haeun never entered the competition, and unlike Ha Rin, our Haeun doesn't have to show her attractiveness by taking first place in a competition," Woh Shik yelled at Yun Seo.
The phrase "as beautiful as lethal" definitely applies to Haeun. With this statement from Yun Seo, a brawl broke out. Both of them grabbed each other by the collars, and Yu Jun, who had begun to argue, intervened to break up the fight.
'Be mature, men'. Yu Jun shouted at them as he made an effort to stop them.
Men are really entertaining beings. All you have to do is give them wine, and they will go insane. Ji Ah remarked how repulsed she was.
"Ignore them. What's up with your Do-Yun? Haeun once more made it clear that she was simply there for meeting Ji Ah's lover.
"I'll call him, but don't scare him," Ji Ah said and took a deep breath and dialled her lover's number, Do-Yun.
You told me that he is a bold guy and that he had already spoken to your family, including uncle Lee.
Yes, my father attempted to intimidate him but was unsuccessful; but, you might. You're fairly skilled at that. I don't want to stand up for my guy in front of my best friend.
'Ji Ah!' We used to be best friends, but now we are sisters, Haeun yelled.
"Hello, Haeun. What's up? I apologize for the interruption. Do-Yun stated while smiling sweetly. He then held Ji Ah's right hand and added,
As you are aware, I am dating your childhood friend, and I am ready for your questions.
'It hasn't been decided yet whether you will continue dating her or not,' Haeun drew Ji Ah close to her and stated. 'So, don't grab her in that manner.'
'I think we should go somewhere else. This is not the venue for this type of conversation.' It was uttered timidly by Ji-ah.
She is correct. I've already made a dinner reservation. We can go if Haeun agrees, though. Haeun witnessed how well-prepared Do Yun is for this discussion.
"Ji Ah, you were correct. He is a confident and composed man. I assume you had been awaiting this conversation as well. Didn't you, Do Yun?
'Indeed, why not? She is one of your childhood friends. So it's also a rare occasion for me to learn more about my Ji Ah.' Do-Yun explained.
'Ji Ah is the only childhood friend I have, and she has only me as well. She didn't have any other friends. We were always there for one another. I will thus be quite particular about her lover. Yes, let's go on to another location.'
