I came home feeling like a complete mess. I couldn't stop thinking about what happened in the courtyard. The feeling I got when kissing him, the feeling of his soft lips. It all felt like it had happened a minute ago when it was obviously hours ago. I took out a piece of paper and started writing on it. I looked over it once, twice, thrice. I pulled out the jar I had kept and put it inside. "It's not just a silly tradition...it's our silly tradition." I felt myself smile then got the urge to call Jacob.

"I can't believe it. She really thought that?" "Yeah. I even compared the handwriting and it looked nothing like mine. Long story short, she was embarrassed in front of her friends." I felt bad for laughing, but I figured she'd know Jacob's handwriting well by now. "Ah, you know what Changmin told me?" "No." "He wouldn't tell me details but, he and Younghoon are breaking up. I don't get it." Jacob seemed surprised as well as he had gasped rather loudly. "They were so cute together." "Right? I saw them yesterday and they looked completely fine. Were they just pretending...?" "Possibly. Try talking to Changmin again. See if you can meet up." I sighed then hung up on Jacob.

"I'm glad that you came." "Why wouldn't I? What's the problem?" I looked at Changmin who looked like he just rolled out of bed. "Well, you two are. Are you really breaking up?" "Yeah...No one said we had to be together forever." I felt sad, but I really wanted to know the reason why. "Why are you two parting...?" "We've...grown apart I guess." I could hear the uncertainty in his voice which made me start thinking it could be something else. "Look, I didn't come here to discuss me. You said you had a problem so I came to help. If it's just about this, then forget it." I held Changmin back and felt him shaking.

"We're close, Chang. You can talk to me..." I slowly let go and waited to see if he'd speak. "Younghoon...I..." It was clear in his voice that he was close to tears, so I hugged him and patted his back. "He was lip locking with someone else..." "Did you confront him?" "No...I just told him I wanted to break up. I wasn't thinking." What Changmin said felt a bit like what I did to Jacob, without the lip locking part. "Talk to Younghoon, maybe it's a misunderstanding. We both know how much he loves you." "I'll try. Thanks, Kev." I decided to go with him over to Younghoon's to hear his side.

"You saw it? It's not what you think. See, I was just waiting for you as usual and she told me she had something important to say and pulled me along. Then she suddenly kissed me and I immediately tried to pull her off of me." I felt relieved to hear that it wasn't intentional then noticed Changmin's mood had lighten a bit. "I was worried when you wouldn't answer me then suddenly told me we're breaking up. I'm real sorry, I wish I could've prevented it." "It's fine." We heard someone yell out our names and saw Jacob jogging over to us.

"Everything's okay? Just a misunderstanding?" We all nodded then watched Jacob look relieved. "We'll take our leave, it no longer concerns us." I took Jacob's hand then walked away. "Are you going home?" I looked at Jacob who seemed to be looking at something. "I don't have to. Is there something you want to do?" "Yep." Jacob had now taken the lead and I hoped he wouldn't get us arrested. Or killed.
