≫ ──── ≪•◦ ❈ ◦•≫ ──── ≪

7 days ago...

Seungcheol was walking to the coffee shop. 2 years had passed by, they will be see each other again. He sighed before entering.

'This is it'

He entered and he saw his girl who was smiling widely at her.

He can't help but to smile back

His ex was...

Na Jaemi

"How are you?" She ask

"I'm fine, Jaemi. How about you?"

"I'm okay, Seungcheol. You are maybe startled why I ask you on this show" she said while smiling

"Yeah, why are you inviting me, among of your ex?"

"I really wanted to give us a second chance. If second chance is not for us, then maybe there we will found a new love"

Seungcheol smile

Back to the interview

Jaemi: We first met through our friends as blind date. Yes... We really met that way. It is kinda funny because I really don't want to go this blind date but when I saw him, I'm glad that I came there.

Seungcheol: When I met her, you know that feeling that she is the right girl, that I was feeling. Because of that blind date, we started meeting each other at weekends at a cafe where Jaemi was working part time

Jaemi: We become bestfriends. Well did you expect that we become lovers instantly? No, we just started first as friends like slow paced romance

Seungcheol: I still remember that we had secret sleepover at her house

Jaemi: On valentines date, he confessed at me and we started dated privately

Seungcheol: If you wanted to know why we dated privately, it was because of my parents

A secret romance

Back to the cafe

"Things passed by but you still the same" He muttered, "Second chance will be worth it, I really wanted to fight my love for you to my parents"

"But what if second chance is not for us?"

Back to the interview

Jaemi: One day Seungcheol took me to a famous restaurant but we got caught by his parents

Seungcheol: Because of fear, we decline our relationship and just said that we are just friends

Jaemi: After they found out we still continue to date for how many months but....

Her tears fall down

Jaemi: We broke up

Seungcheol: My parents threatened me, if I would not broke up with her, they will hurt her and I really don't want that to happened. I don't want her to get hurt so I broke up with her

Jaemi: I understand his reason but I don't know why he doesn't fought for us

Seungcheol: If I just fought for our love, I know that my parents will hurt her even more. But yeah, I regreted that I didn't fought for her

Back to the cafe

"Its fine... But I hope that you still lpve me, Jaemi"

She is my girl, the one that I truly love and the one that I regreted because I don't fight our relationship to my parent

He is the boy that I love since then and if second chance is for us then why not

Na Jaemi and Choi Seungcheol dated for 3 years

After 2 years of they broke up, they met again on this show. Jaemi and Seungcheol both treated each other with friendly and casual treatment yet they both hide their true feelings. When Jaemi dated Seungkwan twice, she stared to like the idol not as fangirl but as a normal girl yet her heart was still inlove with his ex. Meanwhile Seungcheol didn't make a move and when he heard this, his heart pained. He still loves Jaemi and nothing else

≫ ──── ≪•◦ ❈ ◦•≫ ──── ≪

Jaemi woke up, she started to do her daily rountine and after that she was about to go to the kitchen to prepare their breakfast but she met Seungcheol who just woke up outside of her room

"Good morning" she greeted him

He smiled, "Good morning. Do you have class?"

"I don't have. It's our semestral break. I will going to prepare our breakfast"

He nodded and she was about to go when he hold her hand

"Hmmm?"

He sighed, he wanted to say something but he don't have a confidence

"Nothing..."

"Okay" she said and while going to the kitchen she felt like that Seungcheol really wanted to tell something.

She sighed

'I guess we need to chitchat'

Seungcheol look at her back, 'I want to be your man again' that is what he wanted to say but his fear crept into his heart.

A fear of rejection, that's why

But he need to overcome it...

When Jaemi was in the kitchen, he saw Daehwan who was already finished preparing their breakfast. She was startled because of his sudden action

"Aww! Good morning, Jaemi! Please call the others, I just finished cooking the breakfast"

"Wow! I planned to cook breakfast today but you got here first. Nevermind, I will just called them" she said and she went upstairs again to call the others

The others went down

"Good thing that you didn't burned the whole kitchen you idiotic boy" Xianhui greeted while satting down

"Just be thankful that I prepared breakfast, you old hag" he rebutted

"Nahhh I don't want to" she said teasingly and he was about to said something back when Hara put a loaf bread both of their mouth

"God you two, I will going to get old faster because of you" they laughed at what Hara said.

Not unlike their normal breakfast,  it was just all silent.

Jia and Sua did not sat beside at each other and they didn't talk.

Luan did not sat beside between the two girls and just sat beside Jaewon.

Woohyuck did not sat beside Hara neither Alice but just sat beside Seungcheol

Daehwan did not sat beside Jaewon but sat beside Sunwoo

Both Yihyun and Gyeheon notices the cold war happening, they look at each other confusedly. They wanted to ask but they know that it was not the right time yet

Suddenly their phone ringed, they get their phone and look at it

Who do you heart flutter yesterday? Please send it to the people you wanted to send.

Yesterday was just full of rollercoaster emotion. From the date up to the end of the night, many had happened. It was just their fifth day yesterday but how much more when it will be month, it will be a wrecking ride.

They were having hard time to whom they would send a message and yet there are some who are not.

After a hour, they send it to the person they wanted to receive it. Their hearts have been delivered to that person, they were hoping that it could reach to them.

While they were eating silently, their phone beep

to daehwan,

Your ex did not chooses you

Daehwan knows who's this message come from. His eyes can't help but to be watery. His girl likes him back. He was grateful on how kind and forgiving, Hansol is. He looks at Hansol and nodded at her. Hansol smiles back

He stands up and came at Jaewon side and whispered, "Can I talk with you after we ate?"

Jaewon was startled and faced at him and nodded

Hansol phone beep

Hansol grinned, she is grateful she met this boy

Gyeheon and Yihyun's phone beep together

to gyehyeon :3

it's nice to see how we're being together again after the break up 4 years ago. i know you felt guilty for the break up that happened between us but at least we have agreed to do so. If the break up didn't happen, we would have struggled . . . . like what our friends said beforehand. but it's alright hyeon-ah! let's hope to go on a date together one day, hopefully !

Your ex chooses you

Gyeheon flusterred and look at Yihyun who sat beside him. He slowly hold her hand. As long as she is there, his heart will keep beating for her

But can it last?

to yihyun :o
it's been quite a while that we have been close together since we often . . . you know, admire each other from afar when we first see each other. the 4 years break up may be worth it for you but for me, i was struggling much due to family pressure here and there but i've managed to go through all that thanks to the plushie that you've gotten for me that time before the unfortunate and sorry if i did hurt you during the process :cc. let's go out together one day hopefully !! <33

Your ex chooses you

Yihyun smiled back and look at their hands. She was hoping that Gyeheon will not change his feelings for her. She was scared.

The two still chooses each other. Both of them love each other with no problem. It was peaceful for them but how long their peacefulness will last?

Roh si phone beep

To Roh si
I'm happy for our date even though it was destroyed by someone😑. But when you called me boyfriend and you say that you like me, I don't know why but it makes my heart beat faster. Also, I don't mind what Dahwan said, I kinda understand him. Don't be sorry at what he said and thank you for calling me your best man. I'm so grateful that I became your friend. Another date? If you invite me, I am willing but if not then its okay~~

Your ex did not choose you

Roh si can't help but to smile because on how cute Jaewon is. She is grateful to met Jaewon. Jaewon is a definition of green flag. He is the typical boyfriend that everyone would want but she don't want him to be a rebound only. She likes him as friend and yeah she has having a crush on him but not more than that

Jaewon phone beep

To Jaewon

Gosh- I’m so sorry… I keep bugging you with my problems somehow-  don’t take it the wrong way I’m glad for that!

My treat as a thank you~~~ why does sound so formal yikes TT

(ps. Don’t take what Dae said to heart he’s weird but I know he’ll be feeling bad about it~)

Jaewon muttered,"Cute". He can't help but to smile. Like her, he was grateful for her and he likes her as a friend. He wanted to get to know more about her.

To Jaewon

I see that you and Roh si were happy. I'm happy. I hope she will make you happy

Your ex chooses you

Jaewon wanted to laugh because on how many times her ex repeat the word happy but that message, he knows that Alice was already gaving up on him. He sighed...

'It's better for us not to be together again, Alice. We deserve someone much better for us.'

Woohyuck phone beep

To Woohyuck

Your ex did not chooses you

He smiled, when he knows that she is okay. He doesn't know why but when he is with Alice, he is happy. Yet, he doesn't know if he truly likes her or her feeling with her is just a friendship or sister. He wanted to know his true feelings. He don't want to hurt both girls

Alice phone beep

TO ALICE:

Hara already expected it. She knows that Woohyuck will not choose her anymore but still she can't help but to feel pain. They were just fine when they were came inside at the house but he can't help to ask why when Alice first dated him, he change. He change his feelings

Her tears slowly falling down. 'I'm tired...'

Xianhui phone beep

To Luan;

You still make my heart flutter Luan but please, I’m not a damsel in distress who’ll keep on waiting for you like this. I left once and I can do so again if you continue this. If you like Sua, tell me that you like her. I don’t mind, I understand ok? It’s been 5 years. And don’t you dare think that if you’re trying to make me jealous it will work. I still have people asking me out and confessing to me just like I did when we were young, and I assure you none of them are lacking.

She touched her heart who keeps beating faster, 'Why does it beat faster'

To Seungcheol

Your ex chooses you

He can't help but to feel nervous. He doesn't know why but it feel like Jaemi will talk about his feelings for Seungkwan. He hopes not.

"Why this breakfast is so silent?" Sunwoo can't help but to muttered

"They are not in good terms" Yeona answered him

"It looks like it"

Yihyun sighed, she can't take it anymore, "Ahmm guys are you alright?"

The others stared at Yihyun, a little bit startled

"Yeah, I quite notice it" Sunwoo said "Did you guys fight?"

Seungkwan just smiled, "The others have a little bit misunderstanding but don't worry, they will be going to be fine"

"Oh okay...We are just worried" Gyeheon said

"Don't worry, it is just small fight" Hara laugh awkwardly

Suddenly the doorbell rang. Yunho volunteered to get that, meanwhile the others just talk waiting for him to comeback

"Small? Are you lying, noona?" Sunwoo said "You know what guys, fix it. It's not really good to saw you fighting"

The others smiled because they know that Sunwoo is right afterall

"Talk to it and don't let your pride hinders you" He added
