Hyun Jae lost his control, he walk to Na eun and push her , he choking her. Na eun just laughing while she's been strangle by Hyun Jae. Hyun Jae then stop.
"you always manipulate people to do what you want, it always like that since we were kids" Hyun Jae walk out from the room leaving Na eun alone
Na eun laughing at first then she's crying. Na eun always get everything in her life. all she wants just like a click of finger and all will be done. then everything changes when she found out her date and her mom have affairs. both of their parents have an affairs. it's hurting her. she become cruel and rude to her parents. she even black mails her parents. she become bad and bad. she can help herself at that point. all she done to Hyun Jae just because she is jealous. the only good thing that happened at that time is her engagement with Hyun Jae even it just a play. but she ruined it,
she reminiscent the day when she started mean to Hyun Jae
"Noona, what you doing?" Little Hyun Jae pat her shoulder while she peeking at her mother bedroom door.
Na Eun surprises and accidentally fall and open all the bedroom door. Hyun Jae look her mother kiss another man in her mother bed. Na eun closed the door
"go" Na eun yell at Hyun Jae
Hyun Jae who is one year younger than her feel afraid.
"noona, I promise not to tell anyone " Little Hyun Jae said
"go, I said go" Na eun raised her voices and make a mean face towards Hyun Jae
Hyun Jae walk away. Na eun feel so embarrassed and angry. she feel hurts and all she can do is release her anger to Hyun Jae. their engagement is ended. deep down at her heart she really care with Hyun Jae, but all her anger makes her eyes blind make her life changed.
and after years she meet Hyun Jae again, the smile that he always shown to her when they was a kid now is shown to other girls. she know that the they just like a childhood close friend. but Na eun can6 accept it. so she must destroyed it. now after all she did, the only thing left just pain.

Hyun Jae rushing, he call the taxi immediately and get to his apartment. he open all his clothes and go to a bathroom. he takes almost 30 minutes for shower. after that he changes, take all the clothes he wears before to garbage plastic. he throw it to a garbage bin.
he sits in the couch, rubbing his face. he really feel uneasy. is that true that he did it with Na eun? he can't remember anything. and the video shown that he was at the motel.
ring...ring.. Hyun Jae's phone ringing it's from Hyo joo
"Hyo joo "
"Yes, my phone is good now" Hyo joo said
"ah, good. where are you?" Hyun Jae ask
"at my parents house. what about you?" hyo joo ask

"hm okay" Hyun Jae said
"great, I'll invite others too" Hyo Joo said
"um.." Hyun Jae plays with his finger
"I love you" Hyo joo said
Hyun Jae quiet for a while
"me too" he answers
the word that he usually said happily is changes to word that he can't said with sincerity. cause if Na eun said the truth then he is cheated from Hyo Joo.

---at Hyo joo place, after drink and eats the pill Hyo joo starts feeling sleepy. she need to eat sleeping pills before they go to the airport. Hyo Joo need to take it from home, to avoid her panic attacks when they arrive at airport or at the plane.
The maid open the house door, the driver open car door while Alex carrying Hyo joo in his arms. Hyo Joo sleep comfortably at Alex laps. the car starts moving.
--at Hyun Jae's
Hyun Jae try calling Hyo joo, but her phone isn't active and he can't call Alex.
"when they'll go?" Hyun Jae ask
"Nana said they probably on the way to the airport right now. Nana also on the way there. we try to call you as soon as we know it. but you didn't pick up so I came here" Bom explained
Hyun Jae sit down and rub his face, he wants to chase her but he already cheat from her. he doesn't have courage to face her.
"Hyun Jae, don't you want to chase her?"
"I can't. I don't have rights for it"
suddenly Hyun Jae's phone vibes
it's Na eun calling him, he reject it. but then an unknown call in.
Hyun Jae pick it
"I know you wouldn't answer my phone" it's Na eun
"what do you want, are you happy now? everything is ruined" Hyun Jae raised his voices
"ah, actually I want to said something you mighty want to hear this" Na eun said
"I'm done with everything don't even..."Hyun Jae words cut
"we didn't do it" Na eun said
"what?" Hyun Jae shocks
"we didn't do it, if you want to know" Na eun said
"I'm sorry for everything " Na eun said and end the call
Hyun Jae run to his room and change his clothes
"Bom let's go" Hyun Jae said
"what?"
"let's go to airport " Hyun Jae said
they get in to taxi
"Nana, where are you. me and Hyun Jae is on halfway to the airport "
"I saw Alex and Yoon, but I didn't see Hyo joo. they at flight waiting room. I can't go there"
Hyun Jae feel so frustrated, he keep ask the driver to drive faster, but airport is pretty far from his apartment.
Hyun Jae and Bom finally arrives at the airport. Nana give directions to them. Hyun Jae run as fast as he could.
Nana , Bom and Hyun Jae stand at the nearest place to the gate. they finally see Yoon and Alex queue for passport and tickets check. Alex notice them but he just give a cold look specially to Hyun Jae.
"where's Hyo joo? I don't see her" Nana ask
Hyun Jae jump out the gate and run to Alex
security chase him and grab his arms.
Alex give code to security
"where is she? I need to tell her something " Hyun Jae beg to Alex
"she's in the safe place, the place that no one can't hurt her. and I already told you not to get near to my sister. you already break her heart, do you need to break it twice?"
Yoon smile to Hyun Jae, he smile like evil to him. like declares he will get Hyo Joo's heart.
"go away, or security will drag you to their station"
Alex enter the gate leave Hyun Jae stand alone. the security grab his arms and push him to get out from the area.
Hyun Jae walk slowly towards Bom. Bom pat Hyun Jae shoulder.
the three get out from the airport, Hyun Jae takes taxi and back home while Nana and Bom take another taxi together.

at taxi
"so Hyun Jae didn't cheat?" Nana ask
"Yes, just a misunderstanding " Bom answer
Nana pursed her lip, she feel bit guilty
"I've told you right" Bom said
"yeah yeah" Nana look outside the window
"but what about us?" Nana look at Bom and ask
"what's wrong with us? instead your brave behavior" Bom said
"when we will level up our relationship?" Nana said
"what?" Bom shocks
----
Hyun Jae back to his apartment. On his desk there is still a picture of him together with Hyo joo. he take that picture and touch Hyo joo face.
"I'll trust you" Hyo joo words keep playing on his head. Hyun Jae put the picture again. he looks around, this room feel so big and cozy when she spent his days with Hyo joo. but now this big room feel cramped even just him alone in there. so cramped that he feel crushed.
he threw himself on the bed. he move the finger of his left hand that he put to cover his eyes. he can see sunlight trough his finger, it's dazzling. his right hand rub his bed, he had been lied in this bed for 30 minutes. he can feel the emptiness surrounding him.
what happened is happened. no one can't change anything. his tears slowly goes down. just like that his first love is ended.
----
at a caffe , same day
"let's take a break" Song said
"how long?" Vivi ask
"I don't know" Song said
Vivi just accept Song decisions. Song walk out from the caffe.
Vivi's heart feel torn apart she wipes her tears with her handkerchief.
---
sometimes in relationship there's a level up, or even break up, or misunderstanding. all of it bit confusing and hard to explain. we are still young and sometimes we think our decisions won't hurt someone but we still hurt them.
