Younghoon knocked on the door of the Juyeon's room. He tried the door and was surprised to see that it was left open. He quickly opened the door and heard the sound of voices. Younghoon went in the direction of the voices. He saw Juyeon in tears and Jaehyun on the floor.

"What's going on in here?" Younghoon asked as he stood next to Juyeon. "He-" "I wanted to make up with Juyeon. I didn't like how things currently are. He freaked out and pushed me. Lost my balance and here we are now." Younghoon helped Jaehyun up then looked at the both of them. "Well, keep talking it out. I'll just be here to keep the both of you from spilling blood." Juyeon clicked his tongue then took a step back. "Juyeon, I don't want us to end because of my dumb mistake." "What did she have that I don't? Oh right, she has breasts, smoother skin probably, a vag-" "Just, don't finish that. I know that no amount of apologies can fix this, but I still love you. You're all I can think about."

"Sure I am. You clearly weren't when you were with her." Younghoon watched on as Jaehyun looked like he was about to just accept defeat. He noticed the indigo on their red string had gone down more since they started talking. "Juyeon..." Younghoon quietly gasped as Jaehyun embraced Juyeon who was trying to fight his way out of his hold. "It's like a kdrama. Kinda wish I had popcorn right now." he thought as he watched Juyeon slowly stop fighting. "I hate that I still care about you after what you did. I hate that I still want you..." "I told you back in middle school, I'll always come back to you, no matter how many times you push me away."

Younghoon left the room to give them privacy and sat down outside the room. "Glad that worked out...I feel like the strings are talking to me in their own way, but what do they mean? The tugging? Tightness? Looseness?" Many questions swirled in his mind as he remembered his mother saying she didn't know anything about it except the changing of strings.

He heard Juyeon and Jaehyun walk over and was surprised to see a different color where their red string used to be. "Juyeon..." "Hmm?" "Your red string...it's periwinkle now...I don't know what this color means." Jaehyun looked at the both of them in confusion then remembered the conversation from the other day. "Really...? I wonder what it means." Juyeon linked his arm with Jaehyun who gave him a forehead kiss in return. "Well, I'll just walk myself out..." Younghoon sped walked to the elevator and left.

He checked the time on his phone and was glad that it was finally after 5. An hour after 5 to be exact. He made his way home after a long day of dealing with people and the strings.

"Yo!" Younghoon smiled as he ruffled his younger brother's hair. "Hey, I just fixed this. Now I have to do it again." "Sorry, sorry. I'll help you if you want." "Really? I'll take you up on that offer then." Younghoon chuckled as he followed his brother to the bathroom. "So, who's the girl?" Younghoon couldn't help but laugh as his brother jumped at the question. "There's no girl..." "Your tone of voice says otherwise." "Shut up..." Younghoon looked at his brother's wrist and noticed that the red string had fully formed after all this time. "I'll stop. Is someone coming over though?" "Yeah. Our old neighbors." "Oh, it's been so long since we've seen them. Glad they found time to come see us." Younghoon fixed up his brother's hair then ushered him out of the bathroom.

"Mr and Mrs. Kim! It's so good to see you guys again!" Younghoon's mother ushered the family in and led them to the dining room. Younghoon noticed their son had grown quite a lot. "It's been awhile, Younghoon." "Likewise." Younghoon initiated the handshake and was surprised to see that he remembered. "So, where do you go to school now?" "Oh, remember the one that was near our homes? It's that one." "Ooh. Is it like what the rumors said?" "Nah, it's the opposite actually. It's real pretty." Younghoon nodded then gestured for Sunwoo to take a seat.

After a long evening of catching up, The Kims had bid them goodbye and the house was soon quiet once more. "Younghoon, do you mind helping me with my history homework? I'm confused by it." "Sure. I'll do the best I can." Younghoon was still curious as to who the person was on the other end of his brother's red string.
