We quietly watched as the five of them were led away by police officers. I then felt a hand on my shoulder. "We underestimated you." I looked at Chanhee who avoided making eye contact. "Glad you admitted that." Chanhee scoffed then walked away. "Wait." He turned around. "You know who hit you, don't you?" He laughed then waved my statement off. His face then became sullen. "I deserved it." Chanhee then left without another word.

I decided to check up on Geonhak after all of this. He opened the door and let me in. "I must've disturbed your packing." "It's fine." I silently watched him pack then decided to ask. "How are you feeling?" He stopped then resumed after a bit. "Surprised, hurt, depressed, anger." It would've been strange if he wasn't. "But also happy." That had caught my attention. "Happy?" He nodded then zipped up his bag. "Sure, I've lost my Juyeon and friends, but now they're going to have time to reflect on their choices and themselves."

"So, I've been wanting to know. Why did you date Juyeon?" He raised an eyebrow as if asking me to explain. "Well...I may or may not have heard you and Younghoon going at it." He sighed then lied back. "Guess we weren't sneaky enough." "You kind of didn't answer my question." He sat up then smirked. "You wouldn't understand, but I'll say it anyway." I leaned against the wall and waited for him to speak.

"Younghoon and I do indeed love each other, but we didn't want to put a label on it. Didn't want the pressure of it to ruin what we had. Then Juyeon asked me out and I agreed because Younghoon and I weren't official, so." "Did you ever have feelings for Juyeon?" "As if. Younghoon's the only one who could satisfy me." A knock was then heard. "Guess that's our cue." He patted my shoulder then walked out with his bag. I couldn't help but wonder if Juyeon ever knew about Younghoon and Geonhak.

I sat in the car with Geonhak as it made sense since Juyeon was no longer present. "So, what's the first thing you're gonna do when we get back?" I hummed as I thought about it. "Visit Lee Seoho." "Take someone with you since you two never met before. I don't suggest Sangyeon." "Then what about you?" He shrugged then turned onto the highway.

"You know, I did want to put a label on us...but now I see why he was adamant about keeping things the way they were. Looking out for me until the very end..." I noticed Geonhak's eyes had gotten a bit misty. "Your relationship may be weird, but even a bird could tell your love for each other is pure. Sort of." He chuckled then briefly looked at me. "Even after finding he was involved with it all, I still love him...I'm stupid aren't I?" "A stupid human that's deeply in love." He shook his head as we drove down the highway.

Geonhak pulled over then put on his hazard lights. "Get in safely." "Drive safely so that Younghoon has something to look forward to when he's released." "Shut up." We laughed and I watched Geonhak drive off. It must be nice having someone to love. They were certainly an odd bunch, but if you stripped them of all the lies, secrets and betrayal, they were the greatest friends you could ask for.

I hoped that the rest of us would be able to slowly move on from this ordeal as time passed.
