"dahye what the fuck were you up—are you crying?" hyunjoon and dahye stopped walking when he noticed that dahye was silently sobbing. "idiot." he said and handed him his hanky.

dahye took it and wiped her tears away.

"isn't he the one you like?" he realized that the guy dahye was with at the coffee shop earlier and the guy who's always in dahye's stories had the same name. "huang renjun... that's him right?"

she nodded but she couldn't stop crying.

"yah? stop crying!!!" he said and stomped his foot. "you didn't tell me that he's the one you like and he was with a girl—wait, a girl..." he looked at dahye, wide-eyed, "oh my gosh... is he his—"

"girlfriend? yes." dahye said and threw he hanky back to hyunjoon.

he sighed, "don't worry..." he said and placed his arm around her shoulder. "there will be better guys.... or girls—"

that earned a pinch on his arm courtesy of dahye, "fuck you."

"it's getting dark. i'll take you home and then let's meet each other tomorrow." he said.

"how the fuck is your girlfriend not mad at me for being so close to you?" dahye asked.

"simple," hyunjoon sighed. "because we trust each other." he smiled. "now go inside and sleep and forget him!" he jokingly pushed dahye towards their gate.

"fine. good night, joonie." dahye smiled and went inside.

"good night, dahye."
